Stats Prove Mirco Antenucci Is Better Under Me – Leeds Boss Steve Evans

“I am the happiest I have been because I am playing more and that is better for me”, he added.

“That said, you don’t get any more than three points for winning and a point if you share the spoils”.

Steve Evans reveals that he may make “one or two changes” to Leeds United’s starting lineup on Saturday afternoon for the visit of Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United. “I didn’t expect it to go on this long”, he admitted.

“I celebrated the way a manager should celebrate that day, though I don’t think the pitch at Crawley has recovered yet”.

“But football is what it is – you don’t always stay at clubs, they have both moved on and they have both got jobs and rightly so because they are both fantastic managers who have got a lot to offer the game of football”. “I really expected to get something sorted sooner”.

“It is the first time I will have seen them and I will be the first to applaud, but what the Rotherham United supporters do in return is of course their decision”.

“I will also applaud the Leeds United fans, as they are the team I will be fighting for come 3pm”.

Best could also be involved at Elland Road as he looks to resurrect his career following a number of lengthy periods on the sideline.

The Republic of Ireland global, who has signed a deal with the Millers until the end of the season, was offered new terms by the play-off-chasing Royals in the summer but wasn’t prepared to settle for a place on the bench.

“Obviously, I knew it had been developed but I didn’t know what it was like”.

One Leeds player who was largely a bystander during the two victories that preceded the global break was Sam Byram. I think we may just scrape it 2-1.

“It’ll be a bit different because I’m used to being in the other dugout”, he said.

“There were teams that were interested, but one thing led to another and things fell through and just didn’t go the way I wanted them to”.

“You have to be committed”.
