    Good Morning Everyone

    Leeds make a mid week visit to Leicester City hoping hoping for an unlikely double. Back at the end of November last year Becchio spot kick was enough to give United three valuable points, against the then Promotion favourites.

    Although their form has been indifferent lately, they are still within touching distance of the automatics, and will be going hell for leather to even things up tonight.

    Leeds are keeping quiet about the injury Varney sustained at the weekend against the Pussy Cat Dolls. If he is unlikely to play, surely Hall will be in line for a starting place.

    Pelts will start tonight full of confidence against his former team mates looking to continue the good run of clean sheets.

    Nigel Pearson will wait to see if Nugent recovers from the injury that kept him ou of Saturdays defeat v Ipswich.

    Midfield pair Lloyd Dyer and Paul Gallagher were named on the bench on Saturday but could start tonight......

    Morning Elland. Firstly, take a hundred lines - there is no A in surely -. Secondly, I hope Hall starts instead of Varney & McCormack is given a roving roll behind Morison. They're at home & desperately in need of 3pts. We can afford to be patient & hit them on the break. Our back 4, whilst being a long way from the finished article, are playing a lot better than they were. I doubt there'll be any other changes to the starting line up other than probably Varney, but I hope Habibou gets a chance with about 20 mins to go to show why he should be retained for next season.

    1-1 draw.

    Why can I see Lee Peltier having the game of his life tonight?

    Morning all. Back to normal here after a few hectic days. Have a bad feeling before every game now but probably knowing were one defeat from end of our season. Who knows, a 1-0 win tonight and theres still hope. Were going to have to start finding goals from open play though from somewhere

    Morning all <ok>

    Thoughts are with Ash the swans Mod.

    Hard one to call tonight. I would fancy us nicking this at Elland road due to our home form & the foxes current form, but away from home we are making even less chances. Need to be clinical tonight and take our chances. Big decisions for Warnock to make and I would be a lot more confident if Becchio was still in the starting line up! Time for Morro to shine & McCormack to **** or get off the pot.

    1-1 draw which is probably not good enough for either team <ok>

    I'd take a 4-0 win with Pelts getting all goals against his former club

    What have you got against Morison?

    I thought he was a good player, to be fair.

    Morison was very good for us 3 seasons ago in League 1 - when we sold him to Norwich for £2.6M they thought they were getting a bargain, but as it turned out, they paid £2.5M too much. Don't get me wrong, he will win lots of headers and run around a lot, but these days thats as good as it gets <ok>

    Paynter is scoring quite regular now for Doncaster. Maybe worth considering a straight swap for Morison <ok>

    Billys found his level- League one. I have always said this so I expect him to be scoring as a striker.

    Also Morro may have only bagged one for us, but we arent scoring for fun at the moment are we? Blame the system, believe me I will be on his back like plenty of others if he doesnt deliever for Leeds, but he is looking good at the moment IMO.

    Personally I would have waited until the end of the season before letting our top goal scorer go & inbed a system & give Morro a pre season. He hasnt had the benefit of that as yet <ok>
