We now have quite tough games ahead. We should get as much points as possible because in December we going to face all the title contenders. So we should get as far as possible from the relegation bunch. Otherwise it's going to be psychologically hard for the players.
So, I don't think that Bielsa should start any of the youngsters unless it's due to injuries. Especially in defence. Any mistake that will lead to points drop can effect their confidence. Actually I can see Drameh or Cresswell substituting Ayling and Coops only in case of injury. Bielsa would rather move Phillips and Dallas into back 4.
Although Gelhard and Summerville might come for last 15-20 min to get a sniff.

White Ruski.
Right now I would play Drameh ( or Baby Shack) over Ayling or Dallas at RB.
We also really need to start scoring more goals in order to try and win matches;
therefore for starters we need game changers coming on from the bench give me Geldhardt over Roberts any day of the week.

Much as I love Bielsa his stubbornness at playing people in alternative positions rather than bring in a young specialist is starting to drive me bonkers! I would love to see Drameh, Cresswell, Gelhard and Summerville get debuts against Fulham.

spot on Cambridge; would not surprise me that Bielsa stubborness on this is most frustrating for many Leeds supporters
really hope those 4 young men play against Fulham and are properly involved in first team thereafter.

Bizarrely that same stubbornness got us promoted to the the Premiership and in finishing in 9th place first season up.
I highly suspect there will be a number of U23’s playing tomorrow due to our very heavy injury list.
Also worth noting that Fulham will be missing some key players due injuries.

Im sure Bielsa will play the Younglings when they are ready. Have we forgotten about what happened at Crawley already?
