Alex Mowatt excited for hometown return in League Cup

Rosler has told his players this is a must-win match, even though the team’s main priority is to win promotion of the lucrative Premier League.

“We want as many wins as possible, as soon as possible, to get the confidence levels up”. “There are players banging on the door to start and one or two have a possibility to be involved”. “We have a very tight squad which – in my opinion – can be an advantage going into the season because it makes everybody be tight”.

With only a year now remaining on his three year contract, Byram has been offered the chance to tie down his long-term future for LESS money.

After progressing through the ranks at Leeds United’s academy under the watchful eyes of Neil Redfearn, the midfielder played his first match for the senior side during their 3-1 victory against Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium in 2013.

“We are friends off the pitch but once kick-off time comes, we both know it’s down to business”, Dickov told Doncaster’s official Twitter account.

“It isn’t hard to face a friend”, said the former Leeds striker.

“It was a good game for me. We both wanted to be winners as players, and it is the same as managers”.

He said: “The way I like to play is high, intense, quick, transition football and for that you need a certain freshness and that means a natural part of my policy is rotating in a sensible way. Likewise, knowing how dedicated and professional Uwe is, he will be doing the same”.

It will be interesting to see if Rosler makes the kind of wholesale changes that some clubs make at this stage of the competition and he must be tempted to do so with two league games following on so closely.
