No Cantwell in the squad. ACD on the bench. Both Dolan and Hedges starting.

I'll stand by my 3 - 0 defeat

[Ricky]

Wondering if Cantwell wasn’t well for the last game as he certainly wasn’t at his best. 

[Tom]

Big night out for Cantwell?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I think I might have packed the midfield. Weimann on the bench and Buckley in Cantwell’s place.

[jim mk2]

Hedges and Weimann starting. That's an odd team - this could be messy

[roverandout]

Shows our lack of strength in depth. Pretty awful attacking lineup 

[Forever Blue]

LT: Cantwell is ill

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Much of a Muchness.Would you have played Cantwell on recent performance?

[roverandout]

Footballers are soft. I have to go into work when I'm ill.

Heard Cantwell didn't train because of a slight knock rather than illness.

[CambridgeRover]

I hope they prove me wrong but that attacking line up is atrocious

In fairness it was pretty similar at Cardiff when we scored 3 rather unexpectedly. Granted the opposition today is a lot better! You never know though, Weimann may have another great game.

Hope Cantwell is fit for Saturday! 

[jim mk2]

Mighty Oxford winning at Millwall - who beat us not long ago

[den]

I don’t see too much quality in front of that back line.

Given his recent form I rather hope he’s not.

[joey_big_nose]

That forward line is more about pressing than attacking. The front four will work their nuts off.

Have to hope we can force a few errors from Leeds.

Championship rollercoaster makes this really seem like a nailed on loss to continue our fall after our rise... 

Basically will come down to the first goal. If we concede early could get ugly, but if we can hold out then we will have a chance.

[chaddyrovers]

exactly the team I thought Eustace would pick for this game, Similar tactics to when we played earlier in the season and Cardiff away. 

I stick with my 1 nil Rovers with Ohashi to score 170/1 odds on Sky Bet

COYB!!!🔵⚪

No but I'm a professional worker

Line up looks like a cry for help from JE.

Presumably running around for 90 minutes knowing that any reduction in physical endurance will be taken advantage of by your opponent?

[roversfan99]

Drab side, no pace, no flair, no goals.

Hard to see past a comfortable home win but hopefully can be proven wrong.

Need Cantwell and ACD back in the side at the weekend.
