How do you work that one out?
Apart from earlier this season, I doubt he was born when we last played Leeds?

He did previously play for Oxford United, Colchester and Cheltenham though...

If you were a Leeds fan, what would you prefer, another round in the FAC or concentrate on getting a play-off spot, if they get that the FAC loss will soon be forgotten.

So one extra round in the FAC was going to derail their play off chances?? Losing to Newport County is more likely to do damage Imo.
Their manager was gutted, reading a lot of Leeds fans on Twitter they're fuming.

what's the point of risking players for a competition that they are not going to win, like I said given the choice between promotion (chance) and another round in the FAC which would you take ?

But it's not a choice though. Them getting to the 4th Rd of the FAC has no real bearing on whether they'd have made the playoffs/automatic promotion.
The Leeds boss picked a side he thought were good enough to beat Newport County.
I'd be fuming if we lost to a side 2 leagues below us in the FAC 3rd rd tie even if we fielded a weakened team

The Leeds starting eleven are all players on the fringe of the first team and want to feature regularly in The Championship and challenge for promotion to The Premiership. What an opportunity for the players to perform and show against lesser opposition what they can produce. Skills, talents but without the will to win and work ethic, players, teams will not succeed and lose more than they win.
Sunday was a fine example. Great opportunity for squad players to prove themselves but David slew Goliath. Take note Tottenham you have to earn your Spurs at Rodney Parade.
