    Morning Peeps,

    It is likely that Jason Pearce will replace the suspended Tom Lees who was shown a straight red at Portman Road on Saturday.

    Warnock needs to decide whether to keep faith with Michael Brown in the centre of midfield, or bring Rudy Austin back to the fold. It would be nice to see Dawson and Hall getting a run out, but I cannot see Warnock doing that. The only change for the good Warnock will make, is to bring McCormack back.

    Leeds have still not scored in the first half of a league game since boxing day last year, for the love of Leeds, step down now Warnock.

    Derby striker Jamie Ward is expected to shake off a hamstring problem.
    Gareth Roberts (calf) will undergo a late fitness test and midfielder Craig Forsyth may deputise at left-back should Roberts remain unavailable.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    • Derby are looking for a ninth successive victory over Leeds in all competitions.
    • The West Yorkshire club last took a point off the Rams from a goalless draw in the Championship in February 2006, and last beat them earlier that season courtesy of a 3-1 triumph at Elland Road, in which Rob Hulse bagged a hat-trick.
    • If six goals feature in this match, it would take the total on display between the clubs to 300.

    Leeds United

    • Leeds have dropped to eight points outside the play-offs, after a five-match winless run, culminating in successive defeats, home to Huddersfield and away to Ipswich.
    • The Whites are in danger of losing three in a row for the second time this season, having endured such a sequence in November.
    • Michael Tonge could start a league game for the 300th time in his career.

    Derby County

    • Derby are hoping to complete three consecutive league victories for the first time since January last year.
    • Nigel Clough's side have defeated Leicester and Bristol City in their last two outings, but both of those were at Pride Park, and they have not won in eight on the
    road, pocketing just three points from a possible 24 subsequent to a 2-0 triumph at Bristol City on 15 December.

    • The Rams have won 10 Championship games in front of their home supporters, and just three on their travels, with Nottingham Forest being the only top-half club of
    the trio conquered away from home.

    Morning Elland. Hope my sky breaks down. Don't want to watch any more of this torture this season. You're correct Elland, Warnock should go, but what next? Nobody running the club, no money, a **** squad. What's next manager going to achieve. Arsena wenger wouldn't make a difference given the catastrophic mess at the club. And please, no more mention of the great cheap tickets. They're still not cheap enough given there is nothing to watch. We need two wins for safety this season. Am I the only one worried where they are going to come from

    Day off, Leeds on Sky - I have booked a meal out with the wife for her Birthday, that is how uninterested I have become with this season, Warnock and GFH. Another defeat and I will be praying for wins not because we have a chance of the play offs but because we have a chance of being drawn into a relegation dog fight.

    Afternoon all. Hope we can win. Not too bothered either way. Yes, we can still make top 6. But no I don't think I'll risk the mortgage on us ending up top 6. The sooner the season finishes, Warnock goes, & a new Mnager comes in the better. We have some kids coming through. Hopefully they'll get blended in next season.

    Morning guys, I think this will be the first Leeds game on TV that I probably won't be watching live since I can remember. I just don't see it being worth staying up til 2:00am to watch a ****ty leeds performance and going to bed at 4:00am

    Think we'll get hammered today. 3-0 to the Derbeh!! Honestly can't see where we're going to get any goals.

    Even if we get beat Colin will still be there come tomorrow morning. Wasn't happy seeing his smug face on late kick off last night!! At least he was wearing less makeup than he normally does for TV appearances

    This is the game that we will win and ensure our Championship survival. But we won't win again all season, players given up, manager given up, mid-table mediocrity.

    Let's just get those last few points and then we can all look forward to next year.

    As for "teams don't go down with 52 points", when we went down in 2006 we would have needed 50 points to stay up. Third bottom already has 45 points this season, with 7 games left.

    Chippie - you are now where I was last season. Now can you understand why I chose not to renew my season ticket?

    Not quite, I have bought me and the Mrs season tickets for the south stand for next season....

    I thought you were staying away as an anti bates protest rather than due to disenchantment. Where you are absolutely right is in saying once you find other interests and family life it is easy to move on from footie, and many never come back..

    Morison will miss a load of sitters and then Colin will make excuses for him, while berating Chris Dawson for one minor mistake.
