Short turn around v what will be a highly pumped rovers. Could go either way.
I want Rovers to stay up, I'd rather have the Derby than not, I have lots of Rovers friends and I'd rather they be happier than some Leeds fans that I don't know. Plus it's great for our city to have 2 top flight teams.
The problem is, they're pretty crap this year. Sitting bottom of the table, just been beaten by the favourites for the drop and have already suffered a record Derby defeat this year. Their shining light is that Leeds are truly awful too.

If there is any doubt with Kellys or Houghtons fitness after both taken off early against Cats then both should be rested.
If Carlos is fit and ready to go then Connor to replace Kelly in the halves and Carlos to slot back in and Griffin back in at centre and Mini back in.
Or keep as was against Catalans, leave Buchanan at centre, leave Griffin in 2nd row and have Mini on the bench in place of Fash. If Houghton not 100% then rest him and put Litten in.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Options
Exactly and a good position for the club to finally be in to be able to have options rather than necessity

Id like to see us if all fit keep the same squad, we didnt miss Mini or Hadley at all. Let the players now fight for their places and keep them when they deserve it

Agree as I'd rather Rovers stay up than Leeds as it will be better for the city and us if they did. Think Parcell will have a bigger impact on Rovers than Lui will for Leeds. On top of that I thought Parcell had been one of Leeds most effective players so think they'll lose more than they gain there. Still think of all the teams down the bottom London & Rovers seem more likely to win more than Leeds as both have decent halves and have looked decent at times and have coaches who seem to be able to get more out of the players they have where as Leeds have a coach with a track record of the opposite.
