So do we call him Georginio rather than Rutter? I hope we’ll get a glimpse of him on the pitch later today. Like others, not wild about WBG and Milner in MF but maybe there’s a bigger plan being hatched here (he muttered nervously).

Really surprised to see Gilmour in there but happy to see it as well. I’m not sure it is any kind of statement of him staying or not, maybe just Wieffer being injured and needing someone in there. Though I guess if we are selling him it’s a worry we don’t seem to use Baleba.

I can’t say I’m loving this line up. We have to trust the new boss knows what he is doing though so fingers cross.
On a personal note, I’d love to know why Baleba is being continuously overlooked.

Mitoma Pedro Minteh is the most exciting and will be the most lethal front three in BHAFCs history.

So excited to watch them destroy United today.

He was known by Leeds fans and commentators pretty much exclusively as Georginio, but I think it’s a bit too “Trent” at Liverpool twee for me.

Yep, trust the gaffer. He’ll get his chance.

As to why he isn’t being used, could be his training performance/attitude/workrate/intensity or any number of things aren’t up to par with those around him. All stuff we’ll never get to see and this gaffer seems very unlikely to dig players out Micky Adams style in a presser…

It is exciting but don’t forget Welbeck… He is the one that links it all up
 








Forget rutter and o really, our biggest close season signing is Murphy’s in the concourse 😍

My positive enthusiasm on this game has taken a hit having seen the starting line up.

I often felt the same with GP and RDZ selections so hope to be wrong again

Only thing I will say about that lineup is I can wait until the new recruits are fully up to speed and some of our long term injured are back.
