    And you have what, the 4th worst defence in the league?

    It was a bit of tonge in cheek in respect to your post :-

    If Faye marks Becchio out the game we could be comfortable.

    I don't see why that's not a valid point. Having scored 18 goals this season if Faye can control Becchio we should have a great chance. I thought he did it at your place and hope he does it again.

    That's a big if. We have a stronger defence with Tate, and a more balanced side (and better distribution to Becchio) with Thomas on the wing, hence winning 6 out of the last eight games where they have played.

    That's still fairly poor. We've conceded 3 in the last 6. Still, I won't let over-confidence get the better of me, last time I did you gave us a 4-1 drubbing, albeit our 'keeper gifted you 3 that day. Looking at our 2 teams I'll be bitterly disappointed if we don't take all the points, but I wouldn't be that surprised. I wouldn't take too much notice of AKCJ's prediction, if we win he'll just claim he was looking for bites and didn't really think Leeds would win.

    He's a clever player. Immense skill and control, knows how to draw a foul and very passionate. He's behaved himself since his arrival, so, so far, so good

    Eldin Jakupovic. Only played 2 league games for us (the last 2) and I've been impressed myself. Has Champions League experience but we're his first time playing in England.

    Not great at all. We have a couple of youngsters that have made it through the ranks. Lees, who has played for the England u21's this summer, and Byram, a right back, probably one of our players of the season... We need to tighten up our back four or get a proper defensive midfielder with experience who can sit in front of them, barking orders.

    Good height for a keeper. Kenny is fractionally over 6'0. I'd want a keeper the size of Costel Pantilimon, the Man City 3rd choice stopper.

    He might be a good height but he's a crap 'keeper. Looks very dodgy everytime I've seen him.
