Kevin Blackwell has one or two important decisions to make before this one, a game we have to win if we are to stay in contention for that second spot.

Our other 3 rivals have all got relatively easy games this weekend with Palace at Derby, blunts at home to Saints(who were crap the other night) and Watford at home to Millwall(this one might be the trickiest).


The main decision will be whether or not to bring back Sean Gregan now his suspension is up or does he stick with Killa who in all honesty has looked a bit dodgy since he came back in. I think he'll stick with Killa but(and I never thought I would say this) it'd be good to have Gregan there as cover.


The other main decision is whether Rob Hulse plays with a broken nose, I think he will and he will put new loan signing Danny Graham on the bench as cover, which will probably mean Ian Moore making way for him on the bench. This really is the time we need Richard Cresswell.


I don't think our tactics or formation will change, nor do I think they have to. We just need to be a bit more incisive with our passing and make sure we get our tackles in early.

Stoke who have nothing to play for have a couple of injury doubts with Luke Chadwick and Dave Brammer both suffering from flu earlier in the week. There's a strong possibility they could give places to a couple of their up-and-coming youngsters and of course Michael Duberry returns. What ever they do it is not our concern, if we do what we should be doing right then we will win the game and a few goals to help the goal difference would not go amiss.


Prediction: Leeds 2 v Stoke 0


Come on Leeds!!!
