Rotherham United

Yorkshire rivals up next and I'm expecting another type of opponent to what Bielsa's experienced in his first three games.

That said, I think we'll cruise this one and do our goal difference a power of good. Great result for the Millers against Ipswich Town last week but allegedly The Tractor Boys were the better team.

A performance like the one against Derby County should see us home and dry and hopefully with a clean sheet to boot.

I'm not sure anyone making their first start against Bolton Wanderers did enough to warrant a start on Saturday. Jansson still a bit rusty and Roofe is still ahead of Bamford.

Harrison, Bamford and Baker to come off the bench at some point.

4-0

Thoughts?

Secondly, and yes I dare to dream, good start, great tactics etc., are we faced with a massive overhaul if Leeds United reaches the promised land?

Which players could make the step up?

Will be a really tough game. Can we really win our first 4 games in a row? Not sure. Draw for me.

There tactics will be to

Hoof it to their forwards in and around Berardi

Kick as many lumps as you can get away with out of Saiz

Keep as many back as possible.

I’d imagine they will keep tight on Phillips too.

I’m terms of stepping up, It’s difficult because it’s still early doors, however the way the team has been playing at the moment you would have to say they all could

This will be a tougher test than the games against Stoke and Derby because they will sit back with everyone behind the ball and man mark.

It will be a completely different test for this team and if we come through it playing the way we have been then ill be very impressed.

We should still win though, I just don't think we will break them down as easy as Derby

Early goal or two could make this a cricket score, but these are the games that are going to really tough and it's a Yorks derby, which we're not that good at.

They will come kick lumps out of us, hoof, time waste and try and get the crowd on our players backs.

Agree with Geldered. Think we'll have to be patient and keep chipping away at them. They will target will Berardi which isn't a bad thing as he's a good defensive player. They will kick Saiz who in turn will be a second referee at times. A couple of early goals to kill them off would be nice and I can't see anything other than a home win.

Much easier game on paper.

Think we will control the game from the off and win by a couple with relative ease.

Yorkshire Derby, potential sell out and a chance to go top of the league, can’t wait.

I wonder if Bielsa is prepared for them parking the bus?

I wouldn't be surprised if he's already got their timetable worked out and saver tickets for all our players...
