Just one change for The Whites with Killa deemed fit enough to replace Sean Gregan in the centre of defence, Coventry had Dennis Wise missing due to suspension.


There was a massive Leeds following with expectation rising every week and with good reason, the blunts are doing their best to cock it up and we are getting the luck that has deserted us over the last 4 years.
It was a quiet opening to the game but came to life after 10 minutes when Miller put Hulse clear to shoot wide. Then Coventry came back into the game and Adebola’s effort was cleared by Butler, not long after that Don Hutchinson who had already scored 2 goals against us this season, hit the bar with a free kick, they eventually went in front on 25 through McSheffrey after he was set up by Adebola.


It could have been worse not long after when Killa allowed McSheffrey a clear run on goal, bit he shot wide, Killa was bound to be a bit rusty and will only get back to his pre-injury form with more games.


HT 1-0


KB must have given the boys an earful as Leeds came out strongly in the second half and Hulse almost got us back on level terms after just a couple of minutes with first a header cleared off the line and then one hitting the bar. The Whites were really putting them under pressure but it was just not happening, KB replaced Robbie Blake with David Healy after an hour and shortly after Miller went close with a run and shot but their keeper Fulop was looking up to the task so Ian Moore came on for Douglas but still to little real effect and at this point we were looking at Norwich holding on to their lead against the blunts as consolation.


Then yet again we came good at the end, Eddie Lewis tried to cross from the left and Coventry defender Whing handled in the box, another penalty for the Whites - Healy calmly slotted it past Fulop and that was it.


FT 1-1


The gap between Leeds and the blunts is now down to 4 points and with our game in hand against Palace coming up on Tuesday this week things are hotting up but so far the Whites are holding their nerve.



We now need all our experienced players Kelly, Butler, Derry and Lewis to really show up and remain available from here on in and we can take that second automatic spot.
