Jamie Shackleton, a '99 born midfielder made his debut today for Leeds as a sub, looked competent. It is worth to follow the Bielsa-revolution, not just because they have been playing wonderful stuff so far, but he Bielsa wants 4 or 5 youth players in his bigger squad, and Leeds have a few good ones.

Andre Dozzell update from Paul Hurst. It was rumoured he was going to go out on loan, but he is now not going to. Hurst has confirmed he is desperate to get playing and is in the U23s currently, but they have done their tests on him which still show that under greeat strain an injury is more likely to re-occur. They will be keeping him in house and working on his fitness to try and get him to, effectively, pass a re-test and get the all clear to get involved more in first team
It's obviously a shame that he's not fit and ready to go. But i'm encouraged by how sensible and honest Ipswich are being about him. They're obviously taking it seriously and just want the best for him.
The new manager is very open about it - he talks about him in todays press conference from 21:00 minutes here - talks about it for a good few minutes: https://www.twtd.co.uk/livecam/46
If I remember correctly, he didn't exactly set the Eredivisie on fire in his first months there: he didn't even play for a few weeks, only started to show his talent around November or so. Derby themselves are far from being ready too, they still need some games to gel, hopefully Mount will find his form then.
roughly the same but in different conditions. Players behind him struggle to play forward, not impressive at all so far and I doubt it's a matter of form. I hope I'm wrong.
I agree, he looked good! He kept popping up in the pockets and created multiple scoring chances. Agreed on Edwards @Marcho Gamgee . A real shame. I was excited by that forwardline of dhanda -edwards-willock
So that's it for Karanka playing the youngsters: he completely froze out Worrall and Brereton, the latter even sold. Yates doesn"t play either, only Cash started last match.
Yates has gone to Rotherham. Worrall is heading out this week. Both may still have a future cause Karanka won't be there in January at this rate.
