Rosler cut a very relaxed figure in the press conference and seemed at ease considering the mammoth task that Leeds United face in taking on one of the form teams in this season’s Championship.
“Our recruitment will also be a big part of that going forward, to make us better in certain areas”.

“I think we’ve shown a great team effort and work ethic in the way we work against the ball”.
“I have to encourage my players how to do that more probably than we did against MK Dons”.
But Rosler wants to keep Buckley for the long-term, with Leeds expected to push through a £1million permanent move when the transfer window re-opens, if his loan proves to be a success.
Rosler will make a late decision on whether to include Sam Byram in his starting line-up following mounting speculation over the winger’s future and could hand recent signing Jordan Botaka his first appearance.
Leeds United will travel to Riverside Stadium to meet Middlesbrough on Sunday.
