    Morning Peeps,

    There is nothing like a local derby to get the juices going, and the lunch time home kick off tomorrow against Sheffield Wednesday will prove no different.

    With Peltier sidelined with an injury he picked up against Charlton, Leeds may have to turn to turn to Rudolph Austin to partner Pearce at the centre of our defence. With the amount of free kicks that Austin gives away in dangerous positions, due to the fact he cannot tackle, I would be more inclined to banish him to the bench.

    Pearce is little better, I hope someone has had a quiet word with him letting him know that rugby tackling your opponant in the penalty area is not a good idea. Personally,

    I'd play Drury at centre back alongside Warnock, and bring White in as left back.

    Wednesday will be without on-loan Danny Pugh against his parent club and Reda Johnson is likely to step in.

    Wednesday boss Dave Jones could also recall midfielder Stuart Holden and winger Jermaine Johnson but will be doing so from the stands as he serves the first of a two match touchline ban. You'll recall at Kirkland-gate earlier in the season Jones described the Leeds fans as 'vile animals'. In past days Jones has played down any personal aspect of his visit to Elland Road and said: “We’re going there for football. Having a go at me or anybody else won’t get them any more points.

    Dave, I'm sure the Leeds fans won't hold a grudge

    Leeds have lost the last four Championship games; their longest losing league run for three years. They have not suffered a longer sequence of defeats since relegation from the Premier League in February 2004, and have not scored in the first half of a league game all year.

    Four wins and a draw from the last six has put the Owls within touching distance of the top-half, leading the "form" table and one point better off than their Yorkshire opponents.

    I won't be happy until Mc D has actually signed and I see the club press conference. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of hiccup along the way...:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Morning gents. Was thinking the same shaks. Most managers don't seem to take a week of negotiations. He's obviously looking for some sort of guarantees, God help him. Jones might think abusing him wont get us extra points but it might help get us the three we need for safety

    Drury is never in a million years a centre back mate I would rather Rudy plays there.

    So much for Monty Gimpel making this big impact this year

    True Eire. I was at the away game and TBH I didn't see much crap going on, except on the pitch. But then again I was pissed and had double vision in one eye. As for the chanting, so what. I don't see how they can stop it.
