Interestingly Derby, just like Leeds have drawn their first four league games (against Bolton, Charlton, Boro and Birmingham) and have been knocked out of the Cup by lower league opponents (Portsmouth). Both sides will be feeling the pressure, more so Derby as they are the home team, and are widely tipped for promotion. Will Hughes will be a long term absentee for the Rams after damaging his cruciate ligament on the opening day of the season, and having to undergo surgery. Jeff Hendrick is set to return from injury whilst Craig Bryson remains a doubt. Lewis Cook will surely return to the Leeds starting line up after seeing out his three game ban following being sent off again Doncaster in the Cup a fortnight ago. Luke Murphy and Lee Irwin impressed in a development game against the Blades on Monday, during which Murphy scored a screamer. Will Rosler persist with playing Wood and Antenucci together? Who will partner Bamba in central defence? Who will make may for Cook and Murphy, or will they not feature?
Our self appointed know it all has repeatedly told me Derby are ****e and in crisis. Let's see if just for once he is right.... Hope so. Doubt it.
I'd go back to a 5 man midfield for this game with Adeyemi, Cook and Murphy filling those positions. I know we are desperate for a win but I'd take a draw away against a good Derby side. I'd bring back Bellusci in defence too as he has more pace than Cooper.
Either I'm a day ahead of everybody or you got the date wrong. According to the clock on my Laptop it's the 29th not the 28th Elland. As for the score it will be another draw
Phil Hay @PhilHayYEP 14h14 hours ago Wolves winger Rajiv van La Parra being described to me as "possible". Leeds haven't been able to agree terms of transfer yet but are trying.
Thats definately the last time I try to be nice to someone with little or no intellect. In future I shall be a rude bastard. Hope your team sink into the oblivion of League One and are sold to a bankrupt Chinaman (the only person that would want to buy a derelict, defunct and demoralised club dwelling in the mire of northern obscurity). There, now i feel better. Hope Derby County RAM it up you.
Morning troops. Think this may have 0-0 written all over it. Hope not, as I hope we can sneak a win. Bellusci & Bamba at the back. Byram possibly at RB to allow for Murphy, Cook, Mowatt & Adyemi in midfield with the usual suspects up front. That said, this gives no place for Dallas. So not sure how we'll line up. Maybe 433 with Dallas up front & a midfield of Adeyemi & perm 2 from Murphy, Cook or Mowatt in midfield.
Ticking along. Irritated that all my mates have gone to a major running/camping event this weekend, but I couldn't go (not practical for a raft of reasons). Hoping instead to listen to Leeds getting 3 points this afternoon. How about you? Gone to the game today?
Phil Haye has just give me heads up on today's formation: 1 - 1 -8 looks like we're going for it then
