The fallout from Stuart Attwell’s rotten Elland Road turn will stretch into this weekend when Leeds United line up at Crystal Palace on Sunday. Luis Sinisterra’s daft block on an Aston Villa free-kick will see him suspended this weekend and thus deprive Jesse Marsch of arguably his best attacker.
Thankfully, the suspension comes at a time when the squad is in a decent spot with injuries and there are various routes the head coach can go down with his team selection. The overarching debate for Marsch seems to be whether he looks at a direct replacement or moving about several players to accommodate a new face.
The obvious route many people will look to is Patrick Bamford. The number nine needs to be on the pitch as much as possible and finding a way to get him into the line-up is going to be many fans’ preference.
