Highlandwhite Match Thread ==================================================
Sunday 17th September, Midday kick off. Live on Sky and Talksport.
Welcome to the match thread and to another away game in our least favourite city against one of our least favourite teams.
TEAM NEWS
LEEDS
After the welcome international break it was hoped that we would have some injured players back and it appears to be the case with Cooper, James and Byram back and all the players away on international duty back fit and ready. Only downside is Spence looking very doubtful with an injury picked up in training.
MILLWALL
A few concerns as Matija Sarkic, Shaun Hutchinson, Joe Bryan and George Honeyman are all dealing with fitness issues while Casper De Norre has only recently returned after a back problem.
With typical Leeds statistics Daniel Farke has faced the experienced Gary Rowett 6 times and not won once and we haven't won at Millwall in 11 years.
It's the first of 3 games in a week for us, the first time Farke has had a decent squad to pick from and a selection headache which should see competition in almost every position.
My prediction 2.1 win Gnonto and Shackleton if he starts
Over to you all for predictions and line ups and finally in the customary manner.
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Excellent performance. Thought Rutter was great, but Rodon and Struijk will be a top-tier partnership at this level. Ampadu is excellent.
Clean sheet is very important for me. Back-to-back games of shutting the opposition out. Got to go again next time and carry the same energy, because that could be huge for our momentum.

The way I look at it is how many teams in this league are in a situation where they have three right back options who are as good as Spence, Ayling and then Shackleton.
Ayling is starting to look his age, and he will need to be managed to get the best out of him, hence I'd start Shack at Hull.
But who else is in a situation where they would lose a player like Spence and be able to still bring in two pretty solid options there

Ayling played well today. Only player who I thought missed out of the starting XI was Summerville. Struggled on the ball, and his off the ball work is shocking. Leaves Ayling exposed time and time again.

I did. Blew the negative stereotype of the typical Millwall fan out of the water. Hope the young lad's team win that trophy.

Solid win away at one of the absolutely sh 1 t3 clubs
in league football. Loathe everything about them.
Struijk was brilliant today. Rodn and him look solid.
Happy for Rutter. When he figures out he's stronger
than almost every player in this division he's going
to be a handful.
We finally have a goal scorer. Wish we'd had Piroe
last season. We would've stayed up.
No way Archie's 17. Don't believe it. Excellent.
Ampadu is a beast. What a signing. Hope he's ok.
Very happy.
