Safety first with a strong bench I’d say.

Tomlin on the bench?

Keeping it tight with those middle 3.

Tomlin and NML to get a blast last 30 hopefully.

With five subs allowed I wouldn't be surprised if he's thinking of bringing players like Tomlin and Mendez-Laing on at half time.

And no Murphy?! Even with 9 subs.

Need the win hope that's not set up not to lose

Brad Smith,forgotten about him!

Good bench,real depth with the ability to change a game.

I think even a match fit Tomlin may have been sacrificed against a very fit, fast and mobile Leeds team. I agree last 30 mins for him and NML

It does make selecting a team a little different

Yeah. And Bacuna, Ralls and Vaulks certainly give you energy in the middle.

Yup. If we’d started with those two and gone a goal down we’d be struggling to introduce a spark from the bench to get us back into the game imo.

Playing for a draw - with the option of changing it a bit with that bench.

Whats the news on murphy then ?

Murphy must be injured which is annoying because this is the type of game he might thrive in

Yeah. He's just confirmed he's not available on his Instagram. Watching from the stands.

No surprise for me with Tomlin on the bench.
Same with Mendez-Laing.

It's strange when you look at the 9 man bench and think that it would be a better starting team lol

Looks a team to keep it tight for an hour and then bring on some flair and give it a go if still in game...first game back against top side so seems sensible
