‘Don’t tell me this means he’s starting’ – Leeds United fans react to journalist’s update
Leeds United will look to get back to winning ways tomorrow when they face Derby County following Friday night’s Yorkshire derby defeat to Sheffield United.
The Whites were poor throughout and the scoreline didn’t reflect the visitor’s dominance.
The Blades started the quicker and took an early lead after Billy Sharp found space between Matthew Pennington and Luke Ayling.
The duo struggled all night and the winner came from the same area.
However, Leeds go again tomorrow night against a resurgent Derby side, with journalist Lee Sobot revealing Pennington joining his manager for the traditional pre-match press conference.
Matthew Pennington joining Thomas Christiansen for the pre-Derby County press conference today, 12.30pm at Thorp Arch. #lufc

The fact the Everton loanee will be present didn’t go down well with Whites fans, who took that to mean he is starting tomorrow.
With Liam Cooper going off injured, Pennington, Pontus Jansson and Conor Shaughnessy are the three fit centre-backs at the club, so Thomas Christiansen isn’t blessed with a great deal of options ahead of tomorrow’s game.
If nobody asks him about that 1st 2mins you're not doing ya job guys. Wootton & Beluschi esq, after all it was only Billy Sharp! ????

Plenty of difficult questions need asking Paul.

Agree, still in shock at how that cld possibly happen. No manager can legislate for that or 2nd goal tbh. Concentration the bare minimum!

Ayling needs a rest, he plays every game, it’s starting to show.

Let's hope he's not as scared as he was on Friday night, otherwise he might not speak.

Don't tell me this means he's starting ????
— Jack (@lufc_) October 30, 2017
Which means he's likely to start. In place of Cooper or 3 at the back ????
