Bielsa’s set to be stubborn, it had better not cost us in play-offs

|

Yesterday afternoon we were handed the blow that Kemar Roofe is to miss the game with Derby this week and that is obviously far from ideal.

The striker finally looked back to his best at the weekend with him scoring a sharp goal against the Rams to give us the onus going into the second-leg at Elland Road this week.

He’s missing, though, and Marcelo Bielsa is set to return to Patrick Bamford up top for this one.

Let’s hope, then, that this stubbornness does not cost us.

We’ve a few missing so options are limited but with Bamford’s struggles of late you do wonder whether Ryan Edmondson should be given the chance to shine.

Yes, it would be a big ask in such an important game but he’s a confident boy and the youngsters have shown they relish the chance.

It’s a big moment for Bamford, let’s hope he can remind us of what he’s about.
