DARKO Milanic could hand a starting role to Brazilian playmaker Adryan at Norwich tonight as he bids to record his first win as Leeds Uniuted boss.

The Whites travel to Carrow Road with Milanic desperate to kick-start his reign after a disappointing haul of just two points from four games in charge.

Adryan made his debut as a second-half substitute during Friday's 2-1 defeat at Rotherham and the on-loan Flamengo player may now start after waiting a month and a half for his first appearance.

"It was a very positive thing," said Milanic of Adryan's display at the New York Stadium.

"Adryan was very dangerous. He made good movement in between the lines.

"He played very well for 30 minutes and did a good job. There are a lot of games and I will give him a chance."

Leeds were in control during the first half against the Millers as Mirco Antennuci's well-taken strike put them 1-0 up at the interval.

But Steve Evans' side hit back with two goals after the restart to secure the win and leave Milanic bitterly frustrated.

The former Sturm Graz boss claimed Rotherham's tactics were "long ball" and said his own side would never resort to such an approach.

"We want to play, we want to have good possession and we want to make difficult combination play," said the Slovenian.

"The players need the characteristics where we don't play long balls.

"Rotherham had a simple style of football – a lot of crosses, a lot of challenges, playing into the box very simply.

"It was difficult and we were under pressure but not every game is like this.

"I talked with the team about Rotherham and said they would play that way but we made mistakes; easy mistakes.

"I'm not happy and that's normal. There were good moments in the game and we could have had a result but it's not good."

Norwich are fourth in the Championship, ten places and six points above Leeds, after defeat at Fulham on Saturday knocked them off the top of the table.
