I think that's probably too simplistic of a view, Brand is a young player, yet to make his SL debut and has had very little game time so far this season - the reserves getting cancelled the past few weeks mean he's played two games (I think), a short spell vs Salford in the friendly and a reserves game against Newcastle, which I'm sure the competition standard for that game would have been below Championship level. He's not had the best preparation so far to make his debut.

That said I hope he plays above Mamo, it's always good seeing a young player make their debut and by all accounts Mamo wasn't great vs Wakey.

Only the management know whether he's ready for a game at this level against a Leeds team who seem to be playing pretty well, he may well go with the tried and tested Mamo option though.

Well actually I think my call NOT to play Brand was half decent.

But it's interesting to see that those who said Brand should be given a chance have gone quiet (ish) and a new group are saying Price for 'throwing Brand to the lions'.

So Price gets criticism before the match and criticism after it.
I'm no fan of Price but he can't 'win' with fans - never mind on the pitch.

And unfortunately I just can't see any coaches winning with fans in these days of social media. Thankfully the mods manage to keep most of the comments 'clean' here which is more than can be said for Facethingy and Instachat and the like.

Brand isn’t at fault for Hurrell running over the top of him...who else had the nerve to get in front of him.
Had our team been attacking and not defending...it wouldn’t have been a issue.

Carrying two midget forwards in the pack isn't a recipe for dominance, one perhaps but not two. It means one third of the pack is mini-sized.

That fella that played R2-D2 is coming available - he could be good off the bench. Obviously out of the ‘bin on wheels‘ costume.

Get Warwick Davis to go blindside prop with him.
