And Eagles will be hoping to add to that tonight. He hasn't scored since Birmingham away however and Austin will be keeping a close eye on the attacking midfielder. Kevin Davies- He's managed to pose a threat at the premiership for many a year and although he hasn't been at his best in the Championship he has and will still cause problems for any defense. 2 goals in the League this season can Davies add to it against a much improved Leeds back line. Leeds United Diouf- Diouf seems to be the dangerman week in week out for Leeds. He showed again at the weekend and midweek why he is fast becoming a fans favorite within Elland Road. 2 goals against Bristol City and a sterling performance against Everton, Bolton will have to be at full concentration to stop a confident Diouf Tongue- The first couple of games Tongue had he looked shaky, unfit and unwanted. Since then he's turned it around with a performance against Forest, Everton and a brilliantly taken goal against Bristol on Saturday. He will be hoping to keep up the form and cause more problems with Austin in midfield. Enochs Eleven Kenny Peltier Lees Pearce White Byram Austin Brown Tongue Diouf Becchio Enochs Prediction We've been on a good run of form lately, we've beaten in the last 3 games Forest, Everton and Bristol. The team is becoming to gel and players such as Byram, Diouf and Austin are making this Leeds team a solid unit and capable of beating anyone in this league on there day. Bolton haven't performed up to levels so far this season, they pose a threat with some of there players but they don't seem to be up to the task so far and they lie in 18th position. Expect a good battle between Spearing and Austin. With there form and our form I expect a cheeky win for us. Wanderers 0-1 Leeds United Over to the Elland Road and Bolton faithful, Keep the banter flowing. R.I.P Tigerboy, X
I can see us sneaking a 2-1 victory, with another frantic nail biting last 10 minutes as we hold onto the lead
Hope I'm wrong, but head's saying 2-1 Bolton with us piling on the pressure but not really creating chance near the end. Heart obviously says a 4-0 win with me scoring all 4
We have managed 3 consecutive wins, I cannot remember the last time we did that, to make it 4 with three of those being in the league, two away from home and two on a midweek fixture is surely hoping for too much???? Very hard one to call, Bolton were a fancied team and I can't believe where they are sitting in the league, surely it is only a matter of time before they start climbing? Biggest worry for me is that we haven't managed a clean sheet in the league since the opening day of the season. I am going to have to call this one a 2-2 draw, IF however we could sneak it 1-0 I would be as happy as a pig in ****.
Looking forward to this one, its going to be a battle. Interesting to see who starts in the middle and where Byram will start
Leeds United: Kenny, Peltier, Drury, Lees, Pearce, Austin, Becchio, Brown, Tonge, Diouf, Byram Leeds United Subs: Ashdown, Varney, White, Norris, Gray, Thompson, Poleon BWFC: Bogdan, Mears, Mills, Knight, Warnock, M Davies, Andrews, Spearing, Eagles, K Davies, Afobe BWFC Subs: Lonergan, Ream, Petrov, Ricketts, Sordell, Pratley, Chung-Yong
Heard a rumour that Diouf will captain tonight, anybody have this confirmed? If this is true, then can we presume Peltier may have been dropped as captain of the club?
Posh up 2-0 at Barnsley I see, Hull losing as usual at home Lets hope we get some sort of result, I can see us climb the table if we do
Looks like Posh are doing alright, maybe they'll start living up to my pre-season prediction that they'd surprise everyone Shame about us though, they're all over us at the moment. Need to get a grip...
