With the squad so thin we can’t make many change without throwing 17-19 years old in for debuts.
Robles Rasmus Summerville Rutter Roca are potential ones if the manager wants to try and maintain freshness in the squad ahead of Chelsea.

You're right, Highland, we could do without it. But a win against Fulham and our tails (and confidence) are up for the weekend's big one. Also, if you ask any player, they'll tell you that a cup run is never a bad thing – I'm more concerned about injuries we might pick up.

Play to win!
Heard this on TalkSPORT this morning, ManU beat Villa, Burnley, Charlton, Forest and Newcastle to win a trophy…bit of luck and we can go far!
I am right in thinking no replays at this stage?

Free hit. We lose, we lose nothing in our battle to stay up, but at the same time, this is against a newly promoted side and we have better players than they do. Hoping to build some momentum and reach the quarter finals. We're hard to beat and imo, need to go strong for this one. Can't go another 11 games without winning. Would make a few changes, but keep the nucleus of the strongest 11

Meslier

Kristensen-Koch-Wober-Firpo

Roca-McKennie

Summerville-Aaronson-Harrison

Rutter


Aaronson at 10, close to Rutter. Gnonto, Adams, Ayling, Gyabi, Bamford as the 5 players to bring on if/when needed.

Wouldn't it be nice,(no no the Beach Boys!)if Gracia could repeat what he did at Watford in his first couple of months!..

Leeds stay up and a cup final, that'd be something to sing about, especially if he went one further in the cup!..

....got a really weird feeling this is exactly what is going to happen!

I refuse to allow myself such thoughts it only usually ends in disappointment. Chelsea Saturday is all I'm worried about but I'll check out the final score as I'm working tomorrow evening.

Wow, better players, really? They are currently 6th in the league or hadn't you noticed? With a little luck Mitrovic will not be risked. Harder game than the Chelsea one at the moment.

Apart from Mitrovic, Paulinha and Robinson, who starts in our side? No question they've done really well, but on paper we have a better side imo. They're overarchieving, we're underachieving.

Leno and possibly Rodak for a start.

I get where Shaun is coming from. They’re doing amazing this season but how many players would you want to see us target in the summer window?

I would also go for a similar side to yours.

Possibly swap Adams for Aaronson and play Mckennie further forward to test out that combination. Can see why we should give Aaronson more minutes and rest Adams though

I'm only saying wouldn't it be nice!.

I was thinking McKennie might be useful further forward in more of a number 8/10 type role with Roca and Adams behind.

There you go with the Beach Boys again Germany!

Not my music Rev, but I must admit I used to think they were good!..

Yep, that's me back in the old school!.

Absolutely but my predictions are up there with Chris Sutton... shocking, so I don't want to jinx things with us so in true Chris Sutton style I'll say Fulham 1 Leeds nil tonight and Chelsea 1 Leeds nil for Saturday!!!!

God only knows what we will do tonight but itll be fun, fun, fun (I hope)

Would love a convincing win to carry momentum into Saturday. They may as well stay down there and borrow a local sides facilities to train on. 1-3, then 2-2 Saturday.

Think we will make a couple of changes but will still be strong enough to win, Adams looked to be limping a bit Saturday and has been playing through tendonitus so wont be surprised if hes rested.

Don't Worry Baby!

On BBC site it says Leeds have been drawn away in their last 12 FA Cup ties, which is an all-time FA Cup record.

God only Knows…

We are the heroes and Fulham the villains!

Wouldn't it be nice to get through and then see about getcha(ing) everyone back, for some fun, fun, fun at ER.
