Looks to me like a 4-4-2 formation but with the players on bench there will be availability to change it to 4-3-3 or any other formation
Really weird team. Mahoney come from nowhere. Moore been one of the best players last few weeks and gets dropped. Not sure what’s going through jose’s Head. 4-0 us
Mills in because a defence that's conceeded twice in four of our last five games needs a CB change. Moncur dropped because he looks after an hour mark like he could be sick on the pitch at any moment. He never looks like lasting anywhere near 90 minutes, so doesn't deserve a start. Moore has missed an easy chance in all our last three games that could have got us more points, whilst Bradshaw scored a local derby winner.
I said it in the other thread about the formation, I am assuming Moore is being saved a little bit for Tuesday against Forest. Mills doesn’t surprise me too much but I’d have thought he’d be on the bench with Pinnock starting. Mahoney is the biggest shock for me, big game for him to finally show us something.
Personally, that line up worries me shitless. Hopefully Jose and his team has seen something either in Leeds they think a 442 can exploit, and/or in Mahoney/Mills that has made it impossible to leave out of this massive game. If so, I'll be the first one to say I was wrong and that I want to have Jose's babies!
Mills in cos Jacko injured. Moore rested for Tuesday. Mahoney aint shown me nowt so far so baffled by this.
Bit bizarre, with the kids Leeds are likely to have to play at centre half it’s calling out for Moore. Might be genius, we will have to see.
Mahoney hat trick incoming, one off his left boot, one off his right and one off his arse. Heard it here first
I'm guessing it's 4-4-2 Can completely understand Mills coming in if Jackson is injured. We desperately need some experience and organisation at the back. Moncur can't go much beyond 55 minutes. We've fallen apart for periods in the second half recently because of a lack of fitness. I wouldn't be starting with players I knew were going to tire so early in the game. McBurnie can win it in the air, hold the ball up and play in Bradshaw, so it might work. I've seen nothing in Mahoney, but Isgrove hasn't been playing well and is struggling to get beyond half time and I don't rate Hedges when he's started games, so if we're going to play 4-4-2... I dunno, with the squad we have I can't pick a team that I think is a good one. Hopefully this one will be. It's not like we've had a run of victories with what we've been playing before.
Leeds strong in the air at CB. Maybe McBurnie in centre with Bradders may be a good move on the counter. Mahoney is a curve ball I agree. Can only assume he's looked good on the training ground. If Jose thinks Jackson hasn't fully recovered he has gone for experience in Mills, over Pinnock. Looks like 442 or 4411, with McBurnie just behind Bradders.
Chance for Bradshaw to show Leeds what they may be getting . Also moncur is blowing out of his arse after an hour . Hopefully Moore has a slight knock and being saved for Tuesday . In Jose we trust ( or summat like that )
Moore has had no joy - missed a sitter against Bolton. Leeds will have expected him to start. This may throw their plans up in the air a bit. Moore often gets the head but the ball nearly always goes to an opposition defender. He's on the bench so there are options if it's not working. If we win and Bradshaw gets a hat trick then it will have been a stroke of genius on Jose's part
