    Dangermen

    Leeds United

    Sam Byram-Youngster Sam Byram put in another encouraging display midweek with the draw away to Bolton. The youngster managed to grab a goal and show again to the Leeds fans why he is one for the future. He's now managed 2 goals in 8 apps for the Whites in what is his first season as a professional.

    Aiden White- White managed to finally get his first goal for the club with a brilliantly taken goal against PL opposition Everton. He didn't manage to start the game against Bolton but Warnock will be contemplating to swap Drury for White. His pace causes a big problem for defence and against Everton he linked up very well with Tongue.

    Barnsley

    Craig Davies-He's equal on goals with Luciano Becchio and has looked a constant threat for defences this season. He managed to grab 4 of the 8 goals he's scored away to Birmingham when Barnsley smashed them 0-5. Will he be able to get past Pearce and Lees though?

    Chris Dagnall-2 goals in 8 apps isn't the best for any striker but Dagnall has posed defenders and midfielders a threat most of the season and will be hoping to really kick start his season in this Yorkshire Derby. The battle between him and possibly Brown should be a good watch.

    Enochs Eleven

    Kenny
    Peltier Lees Pearce White
    Byram Austin Brown Tongue
    Diouf Becchio

    Enochs Prediction
    We are managing to keep up our good run. Unbeaten in 4 and played some good teams who you'd expect to be up there towards the end of the season. Barnsley slumped to a disapointing 2-0 loss to bottom of the table Peterborough in the week and will be wanting to strike back. It's nice to see Norris back and I'd like to see him hopefully get around 20/25 minutes to give maybe Austin some rest. Diouf is still causing problems and Becchio is showing why he is thought of so highly by the Leeds fans and management. I can see Leeds taking this, Even though Barnsley have been a bogey team for us especially last season I believe this Leeds team is beginning to really show what we are capable of. With a couple of signings and players coming back I can see us challenging this season. Leeds 2-0 Barnsley

    Over to the Elland Road and Barnsley faithful,
    Keep the banter flowing.

    Have to go for a 3-1 win for us. Good as we've been, we just can't keep a clean sheet at the moment. Think the international break will do us some good though, although it may halt the momentum we've picked up...

    Barnsley always beat us even when they are **** and this year they are decent so i'd say 3-1 leeds :)

    Jacob Mellis looks a decent player and we can't let him dictate the play

    I think if we are pushing for promotion we should be beating teams like Barnsley at home, thats no disrespect to Barnsley but we have to be taking advantage of good form and winning these games. I'm gonna say a 2-0 to leeds. Becchio and Austin to get the goals

    Spot on Josh. If we can score twice away from home at Bolton, we surely must be able to score at least 2 & concede 1 or less at home to Barnsley.

    I'd certainly start with Brown in front of the back 4 & Austin leading the midfield from the front.

    We haven't kept a clean sheet in the league since the opening day, I agree we should be winning these games and you can bet Hull said that against Peterborough last week. All the same I am going to say 3-1 to Leeds.

    I know that and we have conceded a lot but I still think the defence looks capable of keeping clean sheets

    Today is a clean sheet day. Whether we get 2,3. or 4 is the only question

    Agree with Josh. We're in good form and if we want to consider ourselves serious promotion contenders we need to be winning games like these.

    Optimistically predicting 3-1 to us, Diouf, Byram and Becchio. <ok>

    Great stuff, really impresses (and surprised) me for the small time he was on the pitch.
