please log in to view this image Derby County v Leeds Utd Tue 30th December @7.45pm Venue Pride Park It's almost a month to the day that Leeds recorded one of the their best performances in recent times as they defeated Derby 2-0 at Elland Road. On Tuesday Derby will be looking for their revenge. Will Derby be too strong for Leeds? Will Leeds manage a smash and grab. (A Ram raid) Since then, Derby have managed to maintain their good league form with wins against Brighton and Birmingham, a draw against Norwich, and a disappointing defeat against Middlesbrough. Leeds on the other hand, lets not even go there! Jake Buxton and Jamie Ward should return to the squad, but having just smashed Birmingham for four (at St Andrews), I guess they'll keep the same team. Redfearn needs to decide whether to recall Adryan after 'resting', yes resting him in the 2-0 home defeat against Wigan. Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, the gaffer said "To be fair, Adryan's one of these which has come from a different background and different type of football, he's done really really well, I just think he needed a rest. "I think its caught up with him a bit. I saw it in the Fulham game, and again against Forest perhaps where he just ran out of legs a little bit so we give him a breather. It's important we don't burn these (players) out, obviously got to be mindful of that with the kids as well, but they seem to be going alright." Redders has a selection dilemna to to play alongside Antenucci? Should he stick with Sharp, recall Doukara, or maybe give Montenegro a call up? By all accounts Tonge, Morison and Sharp were poor, well poorer then the rest. What changes would you make Not606ers?
Having read some other boards the excellent Matchday threads ala LID may not be possible, something to do with tables and stats and graphics. Hope psd can get his games up.....
Morning all. Adryan has to return, and despite throwing his dummy out his pram, Sharp should also start. I'd also start with Austin instead of Bianchi. Think we may struggle. But as Derby will expect to win, we could geat a breakaway goal or two.
Afternoon Boggers, I'd drop Sharp, and play Montenegro up front. Bet I won't find one person who disagree's with that
Leeds are 10/1 to win tomorrow on a -1 handicap.2-0, 3-1, 4-2 Leeds are 20/1 to win on a -2 handicap. ie 3-0, 4-1, 5-2
Looking at the number of upsets this season, especially from lower half clubs, there's no reason why we can't ram the sheep tomorrow and me and ewes will have something to cheer about. We can take the rams by the horn and put the lambs to slaughter. Ellandback, there are that many people calling for giving Monty a chance I'd be surprised if Redders ain't heard it, trouble is, he'd have to sacrifice one of his academy babies Mowatt or Cook. IMO, he'd be reluctant to do that cos he wants them to shine, so he looks good. Like I've previously mentioned, I believe Redders still has his head and heart in the academy, and it's causing problems for team. Monty is a striker and a left winger, so would be able to play left attacking mid, which is what Mowatt is suppose to do; it's said that he can score goals, poach goals and set up goals. Mowatts corners, crossings and free kicks is something he needs to work on quick. I'd give Berardi his position back at RB, and push Byram up in place of cook, Byram needs to improve his crossing but he can run and get down the line, Cook doesn't seem to do that. I'd also be tempted to play Berardi at left mid at some time to see how he pans out, he can also play left back or left mid. Dropping Bianchi, as Eddie Gray suggested, for Austin would be a disaster, we'd have to move the goals to back of stands. I also think Redders should give Bianchi instructions to push forward too, as his natural position is attacking mid.
We're dooooooooooomed I tell you, doooooooooomed. Hope I'm wrong, but I can't see us getting anything from this. The reasons being, Derby are at home, they'll be wanting revenge after their ER defeat, they've a better settled side than us and if we go down early to a Derby goal, I fear the lads heads will go down and we could lose by 3 or 4. In saying that we could win 1.0..........................
I think that Bianci should be dropped I would give Montenegro a run keep the defence as it isand leave Sharp in.THey can be beaten Wigan have done it and they seem to struggle against lower opposition so heres hoping

As I said there has only one team beating them at home and that was Wigan and a few draws but I will like to say I think we will do well to draw at the moment because we are making too many sillyerors I hope the back 5 remain Bianchi on the bench and a run out for Montenegro he will play tonight or at Sunderland on Sat in my opinion
