Leeds United: fan react on Twitter to team news vs Ipswich Town

Leeds United were on a bit of a slump until a much-improved display against Bristol City on Tuesday saw the Whites back to winning ways.

That 2-1 win, with Bristol City scoring with the very last kick of the game, snapped a two-game losing streak and meant that the Whites consolidated their fifth-place in the Sky Bet Championship.

Today Leeds are at Portman Road to take on what will be a very well organised and hard to beat side in Mick McCarthy’s Ipswich. The Tractor Boys will be without 10-goal leading scorer Tom Lawrence, the Leicester loanee suspended after picking up a yellow card in the midweek draw at high-flying Brighton.

Leeds United team news

Despite the rumours that were circulating on Twitter earlier, the big news is that Leeds top scorer Chris Wood starts up front for the Whites. The other big news is that the available Liam Bridcutt, back after his one match red card suspension, starts on the bench with the midfield base of Eunan O’Kane and  young starlet Partick Vieira being preferred ahead of him.

Kemar Roofe drops to the bench with Northern Ireland international winger Stuart Dallas preferred out wide. The fleet-footed Hadi Sacko keeps his place on the wide right with the creative force of Pablo Hernández sitting in the #10 role being 19-goal Chris Wood.

The bench itself is packed with attacking prowess and flair with the Whites able to call on the services of loanees Alfonso Pedraza, Modou Barrow and Roofe as well as the bludgeoning influence that is five-goal Souleymane Doukara.

This Leeds fan is seeing Bridcutt’s dropping to the bench as a wise tactical move by Garry Monk.

Twitter user Mish have their view – it’s pace that kills Ipswich and hopefully Sacko can provide that today.

Here’s another tweet from a fan who appreciates the value of Kemar Roofe.

The selection of Stuart Dallas ahead of more attack-minded players has caused some eyebrows to be raised with sections of the Leeds support.

Leeds fan Ralu wasn’t even the remotest bit worried about rumours of Wood’s absence.
