LEEDS UTD v IPSWICH TOWN
VENUE : ELLAND ROAD
TIME AND DATE : 15/12/12 @3.00pm

It may look an easy one on paper folks, but Leeds face one of the in form Championship teams on Saturday afternoon with the visit of Ipswich Town. Town are on a winning run having beaten Forest, Bolton and the pussycat dolls (Millwall) in their last outings.

They bring a wealth of experience to their side with the likes of DJ Campbell, Chopra, Higginbotham, Jason Scotland, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Reo-Cocker and are expected to keep the same side that sent Millwall packing with their tails between their legs...



Leeds look set to welcome back Jerome Thomas back to the starting XI, as they try to recover from last weekends pityful display at Derby, having played well for the three games prior to that. The only other change Warnock may make is to start with Diouff, though where he would slot in is anyone's guess!!!

Lets hope that Peltier, Tonge and McCormack play better than they did last week, and Varney gets his act together.
 
Yep, what I was saying is that ok, you've got yer injuries and suspensions, but the squad you have is strong. I know Reo-cocker hasn't been playing in recent weeks, but it is still an experienced squad...
 
Wellens went back to Leicester a few weeks ago and Reo-Cocker (and i mean that) is fit but will be on the bench thank god. DJ and Murphy will be up front and Chopra will be on the bench along with JET.

How's headless chicken Norris doing for you guys?

It will be a toughie tomorrow but the way all the lads have started to fight for one another just lately I wouldn't be surprised if we can nick a point or even all 3.
 
I reckon Ipswich will probably line up some like this

Henderson
Orr
Cresswell
Smith
Chambers
Martin
Drury
N'Daw
Edwards
Campbell
Murphy

Norris is playing well, we need to make sure Varney gets nowhere near the pitch, he is shocking

Is JET not the player you'd expected to get with his Prem pedigree? Or do you have strength in depth?
 
Morning all. I agree that Drury or White... or even Pugh should start at LB. Basically anyone with a proper left foot. You can argue for Peltier or Byram at RB. Thomas and Diouf should play. Exactly where is clearly open for discussion, given that Becchio & probably McCormack will start.

If Norris and/or Tongue play in CM, where do we fit Green in? Is Brown fit? Bench or start? I think this will be a 2-2 draw.
 
Leeds United: Kenny, Byram, Lees, Tate, Peltier, Green. Tonge, Norris, Thomas, Becchio, Diouf. Subs: Ashdown, Pearce, Varney, White, Brown, Hall, McCormack.

Ipswich Town: Henderson, Orr, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell, Edwards, N’Daw, Drury, Martin, Murphy, Campbell. Subs: Loach, Hewitt, Higginbotham, Reo-Coker, Mohsni, Emmanuel-Thomas, Chopra.
