Obviously our recent form is not what we would want but I for one can see a bigger picture emerging and it is an exciting one.
The Blackburn game saw us use 14 Leeds players, no loanees. B P-F, Phillips, Clarke and Shackleton from our youth system and Forshaw, Bamford, Ayling and Douglas not playing.

With the emergence of the youngsters we should ditch the loan system and concentrate resources on a couple of top quality signings. We need a top quality centre half to partner Pontus. Cooper is a nice guy but his distribution is inconsistent and he doesn't inspire me. When do you see him giving the ref grief and getting in his ear . never. He might be popular in the dressing room but I don't want popular I want a leader, a winner, someone who sets the tone for the team.

I do think we need a quality wide left player as Dallas and Alioski are in my opinion in the same league as Cooper. Clarke to start on Wednesday is a must and boy is that lad going to be a star.
I still believe this is a top 6 team and considering Saiz hasn't got going yet I think there is plenty still to cone.
Personally if injuries are not a problem I would go with this 11 on Wednesday

BF-P, Ayling, Berardi, Pontus, Douglas
Phillips, Klich, Forshaw, Hernandez, Clarke and Roofe playing 4141.

Don't think Douglas will be fit in time. We may see Pearce.

Pearce deserves an opportunity, think will is harsh on Alioski, he has contributed a lot more than Dallas todate and his unpredictability causes the opposition problems as much as it sometimes frustrates us, but he is playing a lot, he can share a shift with Clarke.

Still not sure Clarke is ready for a full shift, makes a great substitute from the bench, he is still learning and will make mistakes, he lost the ball badly once on sat in a very dangerous situation. If he does, let’s not crucify him!

Not much hope of that Spanish, one insignificant error and certain sections of the crowd are on his back straight away.
