Leeds

[D_D]

So, how do we think we'll get on on Tuesday?

We're coming off the back of an immense performance vs. Birmingham, and Leeds are out of form.

They beat us 2-0 at their place, but we didn't turn up that day. We now owe them one, and I fancy us to duly oblige.

Team I reckon we'll go for:

Grant

Christie-Keogh-Shotton-Forsyth


Hughes-Eustace-Hendrick

Russell-Martin-Ibe

The one potential change I could see is Hendrick giving way for either Coutts or Dawkins.

I'd be happy with either, and fancy us to get the win, due to Leeds not being defensively good enough to stop us. If we reach the levels we did on boxing day, I doubt anyone in the league would deny us.

The robustness and steel of the glove-less Eustace could also be a big factor, as we lacked a physical presence in the reverse tie.

I'm going to be optimistic and go for 3-0.

I'm a little uneasy. If Eustace plays and the others turn up then we should win, however despite our fine win over Brum, its too early to say we are over our blip.
Things going for us are Eustace, the extra rest days since the last game, a confidence boost from Friday.
Against: On TV again, quiet mid week freezing cold crowd, Leeds know how to play us.
Brum apparently tried to play football against us, bad move! Leeds will press high up and batter us.
I see this as a key test of our tactics. Will we just pass it around the back 4 or try to mix it up a bit!

Nice

And the brazilian lad must still be injured after JR broke his leg and tazered him at their place. Anyone heard how his recoveries going?

He died. Shortly after the game.

Hendricks a doubt and it will be interesting to see if Steve goes with Eustace.

We need Ben Davies back for this one. Always bagged against dirty leeds!

I just wonder if Brys and Jeff are out...could we play a 442?

How myths are born ... Ben Davies only scored 2 goals against Leeds , in 5 outings!



MacClaren won't change formation.

It's possible but I would have said it is more likely to be a cracking atmosphere.

Also Hendrick is fit which is good news. Hope he sticks with Eustace.

Just over 31,000 crowd at the moment. South Stand totally sold out. Sounds like it'll be a very good atmosphere to me.
