Leeds United may need cages rattling and Javi Gracia breaking with his tradition

Eleven goals shipped across two matches with a small combination of 13 players starting in both has to mean changes this weekend. Javi Gracia has to rattle some cages, point fingers, let some players know they are nowhere near it and show the supporters he hears their anger.

Gracia has been on the record in the past with his preference for keeping his volume down and speaking with clarity and calmness. Some players, given what's gone on in the last two, may get more from a dressing down, some passion, anger or emotion.

There is no sense in playing to the crowd and bowing to public opinion for the sake of it, which, as his reluctant press against Brighton & Hove Albion showed, is not Gracia’s style anyway. However, there has been more than enough evidence over the past three halves played to see a good number of those who featured look shot to pieces.
