Well at least we know poveda won't be in the team...

Crewe - 47 years ago a mate of mine at school supported them. We took the p*** out of him but I have looked out for their results ever since. The scandal of their manager's behaviour was a shock but gave me more reason to support the team.
Leeds - was the first game I took my son to watch Man United play. The Leeds "fans" were disgusting animals and I had to apologise to my 10 year old son after the game.
Leeds fans cannot accept the fact that the team is not the great team they were many years ago. Few teams are.
I would like to see Leeds back up there in the top teams but without their moronic supporters.

Think with a packed ER Crewe won't have a chance, should make the difference if we throw in a group of young players who haven't played before. 2-0

I hope Luke Murphy gets a good reception. Never as bad as some people made out, and always put in 100%.

I think we will win 2-0. Rodrigo brace.

Interesting that everyone is convinced we will play a young team even the 23's was pretty much the best we could have fielded yesterday, Gelhardt, Greenwood and Drameh all got 90 minutes and whilst Cresswell only got 45 coming off at half time for Kris Moore, that looked like squad rotation to me, as Kenneh only got 45 last week. Summerville almost certain to make the squad and might start but I think otherwise the team will be quite strong.

I think Cresswell and Summerville to start from the 23s. Maybe a few of the others on the bench.

A strong under 23’s played yesterday. I expect a few first team squad to start tonight,

Changing my predicted lineup to

--------------------------Klaesson
Shackleton---Cresswell---Llorente---Firpo
---------------------------Phillips
Costa-----Forshaw-------------Roberts---Summerville
--------------------------Rodrigo

Considering including Leeds in my accumulator today. Worth it?

No. We aren't good in the cups. We should beat Crewe, but we lost to lower league opposition in both cups last year,

Will have Leeds in mine tonight. Crewe having a bad season so far, its not like they're top of L1 or 2 and confident like Hull we're last season.

We aren’t the greatest cup team in the world,but I’ll say
3-0 Leeds.

Crawley hardly world beaters, but I take your point.

Think its also worth posting this in relation to tonight's game. https://twitter.com/BakedbeanEEP/status/1429759486747713538

Lot of Leeds fans donating. And they say we are animals

What a horrible line-up, half the team out of position, coming back from injury or both.

Don't see how half the team is out of position Closest I can guess is Shackleton, and seems pretty clear Bielsa thinks he can play there.

Meslier

Shackleton Llorente Cooper Firpo

Phillips

Summerville Forshaw Roberts Harrison

Rodrigo


Hopefully something like this. Drameh played 90 mins so doubt he will play. Forshaw didn't play at all so suspect he will be used tonight.

Think Costa is 100% nailed on starting.

Probably right.

I would just prioritise helping Firpo & Harrison build a relationship

Is Shackleton a right back?
Llorente and Cresswell, do we know if they can play together, Two wingers, Costa and Summerville, whose best positions are on the right? Forshaw and Roberts are they in their correct positions? Can Rodrigo play in that position?

I would say it looks like Bielsa believes Shacketon is more of a right back than a midfielder. I would prefer to see him in the midfield but it does appear that Bielsa thinks Shackletons best position is right back.

Forshaw and Roberts should definitely be playing in the midfield.

Rodrigo's best games for us have been up front.

Can Rodrigo play striker? Yeah, he's only played there his entire career. What nonsense.

Shackleton played RB literally this weekend.

At some point you have to play players that haven't played together.

And those wingers will definitely be the ones playing, with one playing slightly out of position on the left.

Have they said Llorente is fit for this one? What about Koch?

Koch was supposedly pictured on a plane to Germany earlier in the week. Not sure on the accuracy of this.

Llorente posted an image of him training with the caption "Ready" yesterday.
