    Moore and Moncur being rested for Tuesday as both have been dead on their feet for weeks.

    Jackson and Isgrove injured?

    These are presumptions, not facts.

    Moore rested yes, but also just think of his late game impact as a sub. Could be hugely important against a defence that is inexperienced and will have been run ragged (hopefully) by our forwards by the time he comes on.

    If he’s not needed and we’re winning comfortably, then he’s fit and ready for Tuesday- win win.

    Looks more to me as though Jose has seen something about Leeds that he doesn't think long balls into Moore will work so we've gone for a more possession based selection and formation. I don't see it as players being knackered we've just had a week off and this game is as important as Tuesday so we can't risk resting players and risk being even further behind after today.

    A poor performance today and Jose is going to get some flak though changing the team around so much for such a big game.....

    Mills instead of pinnock not for me
    What has Mahoney done to deserve a start? We have gone from one clown to another. Hope I'm proved wrong but defeat here and those that have forked out 39 quid deserve this selection explainong

    Agree Pontius the Pilot will be a match. Not so good vs runners though.

    I just think he's picked what he believes to be the best team with what he has available to face this Leeds team. I don't think he's got an eye on the next game at all, just doing well in this one. And I can see sense in all the changes he's made. Plus it's a curve ball for Hecky who would have had is team drilled all week to face a side playing 4-3-3 with a big centre forward.

    Doesn't mean we'll win, but we weren't winning with the formation and personnel he was playing before. The only game we have won recently was against Sheff Utd, we were 2-1 down, he switched it to 4-4-2 and we won.
