    Derby County
    Jamie Ward will miss this weekends match with hamstring problem
    Craig Bryson and Gareth Roberts may also miss out

    Leeds United
    Unlikely to risk Diouf ahead of busy run
    Warnock tempted to replace Thomas with Hall
    No other changes expected

    Dangermen

    Derby County
    Theo Robinson- 8 in 18 this season for The Rams. The Rams fans have nicknamed him Deadly Theo.

    Jeff Hendrick- One of my close friends is a Derby County season ticket holder and he's had nothing to say but good things about the 20 year old. Could be battle of the kids between Byram and Hendrick.

    Leeds United
    Luciano Becchio- Back to form with a 2 goal brace against Huddersfield with a well taken shot and brilliant header from the edge of the box. Hopefully he can continue and tear a hole or 2 in Derbys defence.

    Sam Byram- Don't need to say much you don't already know about young Sam. In my eyes one of the best right backs in this league and has years to improve. Get him signed for another 4 years. Will be a massive player for us in the future.

    Enochs Prediction
    Derby seem to be our bogey team and we don't have the best record against them in recent years. On a 3 match winning run though beating Leicester, Palace and Huddersfield along the way confidence will be flying amongst the team. Diouf has a hamstring injury and will be rested due to the amount of games to be played. Jerome Thomas played 3 games in 7 days and was substituted against Huddersfield due to a niggle. I'd like to see Ryan Hall get a start, he looked bright and positive when he came on and helped us to the victory. I think the rest of the team picks itself. Derby got smashed by Leicester 4-1 and are lying low in 16th place but a win will lift them right up and above us. I can see us continuing our run of form and putting our bogey team to sleep with a confident and good performance.
    Derby County 0-2 Leeds United

    Over to the Elland Road and Derby faithful,
    Keep the banter flowing,
    Enoch

    If we win this, 4 on the trot says something is happening.

    So its 6-0 Derby then <laugh>

    Actually I think we'll get a result, hope its a win but a draw would be positive too

    Think it'll be the same team as at Huddersfield, but it would be nice if Drury played and we actually used a proper left back for once!

    I think it will be the same team as Huddersfield. Thomas has played 3 games in 7 days, but he's also had 7 days to rest since then.

    Keep Diouf rested and only bring him back on the bench when he's ready, as McCormack has staked his claim on that forward spot alongside Becchio.

    Can't see anything other than a Leeds win, so we'll probably lose 3-0 with a dismal performance <laugh>

    I must say though, it's a nice change knowing we have players like Hall and Diouf on the bench instead of the usual under 18s or the likes of Pugh and Gray.

    It's got to be the same team as it was against Huddersfield, surely?

    Given our past record against Derby I would take a draw, if we can maintain the unbeaten run I'll be happy. But given our mid-week and Huddersfield results we're in a bit of a curse breaking mood at the moment. :)

    Well the weather outside is frightful
    But his goals are so delightful
    All that you need to know:

    BECCHIO, BECCHIO, BECCHIO!

    Well he shows no signs of stopping
    As the goal net keeps on popping
    We really love him so...

    BECCHIO, BECCHIO, BECCHIO!

    Jingle bells, jingle bells
    Jingle all the way
    Oh what fun it is to see United win away!

    <cracker> <gift> <ale>

    COME ON LEEDS! Waking up at 6 in the morning tomorrow to get to that East Midlands Clough-worshipping Leeds-obsessed dive - hope Paul Green keeps his form up and scores a hat-trick.

    I have a feeling our wheels could come off today, three on the bounce has been unheard of for us the past couple of seasons, would I take a draw? No we have to go all out for the win, we still a lot of ground to catch up.

    If we are 2-0 down with 10 minutes to go and you ask me would I take a draw YES

    Morning all. I'll take a draw, but I actually think we'll get home, possibly 1-0 deep in the 2nd half. I also think Warnock will start with the same XI leaving Diouf, Austin & Hall on the bench. Nice to have a game changing bench at long last

    BBC are saying it's the same team as at Huddersfield but Thomas is injured, so straight swap with Hall <ok>

    Warnock has a thing for making players captain against their former club...
