I really do think this will be the game we get back on tracks. After a well earnt point against Blackpool, a home win will be important!

Referee going up in the World

Nobody has bothered doing Team for Leeds thread as far as I can see.



I expect something like:

Kuszczak
Bruno El-Abd Greer Bridge
Bridcutt Crofts Orlandi
Buckley Barnes Mackail-Smith

Subs:
Ankergen, Dunk, Dobbie, Calderón, Lopez, Dicker, Hammond

Hammond might get the nod over Orlandi, if Gus thinks we need aerial ability in the middle of the field. I think it would be a more positive attacking policy if we play Orlandi in the position I would play Vicente if he was available.

I have picked Barnes instead of Dobbie because Barnes runs around a bit more and we need hard work as much as guile.

I always like to see LuaLua on the bench, but his below par performance against Ipswich does not deserve a run out at the moment.

Interesting choice of referee. I hope he does not get bored with a lack of goals.

I honestly have no idea tonight, first game in a while in which i cant decide which way it will go. Heart says 3-0 to us, head says 2-2, stomach says it wants a pie now.

Smart thread though, hopefully that will provide some much needed luck.
 


Bring back Bryan wade!!

Lee Mason? He was the referee for Chelsea vs Man United on wednesday night wasn't he? ???

For me, the team MUST be this;

KUSZCZAK
BRUNO GREER EL-ABD BRIDGE
BRIDCUTT CROFTS
BUCKLEY DOBBIE ORLANDI
MACKAIL-SMITH​

That team would equal goals and a VICTORY against dirty, DIRTY, Leeds. :thumbsup:

Warnock_ a Halloween character

Nowadays I think we moan about there not being any characters in the Game. Like him or loathe him, Warnock (I quite like him but I would not want him as a Manager) is a bit of a character and a bit outspoken which adds to the drama which is what is all about.

We have not had much rivalry with Leeds United (just another northern team) and the most memorable game is the last ditch survival match in the old Division One. It seems a long time ago now. The 3-3 last season still sticks in the memory. Macca getting around the back of their porous defence, the last gasp goal and Becchio causing a lot of difficulties as the vaunted target man.

Becchio is a strange player. He heads the ball and scores when it seems easier to shoot with his feet.

Leeds fans are in town and they are noise- they're Leeds United and they don't 'give a 'fook'. Silly northerners.

4-4-2 please.............do not set up with 3 midfielders. Bridcutt and crofts please with 2 wingers, go for the jugular from the off.

No one on the Wing

4-4-2 please.............do not set up with 3 midfielders. Bridcutt and crofts please with 2 wingers, go for the jugular from the off.

Only Cardiff play with two wingers nowadays.

I don't hold with 4-4-2 at home. That's like watching a Capello team.

Orlandi and Buckley to start with Orlandi playing the interiore role ???

If we play 4-4-2 Capello style, Buckley could operate the Gerrard role, and if we had Vicente he could do this quite well.

Glenn Hoddle says Fabio Capellos 4-4-2 formation will never work | The Sun |Sport|Football But what does Hoddle know?
