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
Is JET not the player you'd expected to get with his Prem pedigree? Or do you have strength in depth?
JETs a player for the future, he shows incredible quality and has a hell of a long shot but sadly no consistently!
Sounds like it'll be diouf in for McCormack. I'd also bring Drury in for Peltier but keep the rest the same unless Thomas is fit to start
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 starting 11: Kenny Byram, Lees, Tate, Peltier Green, Norris, Tonge, Thomas Djiouf, Becchio Bench: Ashdown Pearce, White, Brown, Hall McCormack, Varney MOT (WOB&M)!!!!!!!!
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.
