Another big crowd is expected at Walker's Stadium for the visit of the Mighty Whites tomorrow - it's likely to be Leicester’s best crowd of the season, proving once again that we are still the team that people want to see and beat in this division.
We have no Shaun Derry tomorrow as was the case when we played Leicester earlier in the season, but otherwise the rest of Tuesday night’s squad is available. I think Derry will be a big miss though he has not been as effective in recent weeks as he was before he came back from injury.

Simon Walton could replace Derry with Eirik Bakke probably keeping the bench warm, Robbie Blake has to play after the win over Watford with either Rob Hulse or Richard Cresswell joining him, depending on who is the fittest.
For Leicester, keeper Rab Douglas is probably out, but nutter Danny Tiatto could be back.


My Opinion: They're in good form at the moment as is everybody we seem to play these days but I fancy us to make it 6 unbeaten in the league.

Prediction - 1-2 victory for us.


Come on Leeds!!!!


Here are the odds on the game..

I seem to be saying this before every game these days but this one really is an important game for us to win and it looks like we're going to have to do it without both Richard Cresswell and Rob Hulse.
That could mean Ian Moore making a rare start up front with David Healy, other than that I think Leeds will line up as they were against Derby.


Watford as we know are flying at the moment and their front men will really cause our less than quick defenders a few problems, if we manage to come through this game with a clean sheet I will be surprised but as always we are also capable of scoring.

On the positive side somebody at Elland Road had the good sense to insert a clause into the deals taking Clarke Carlisle and Matt Spring to Watford preventing them from playing tonight, which may just disrupt Watford enough for us to get on top early.
If we can keep their front men quiet and our midfield 3 get hold of the game more than they have done of late then we can get the 3 points that will surely take us closer to Sheff U, who I cannot see getting anything at Reading.


I predict 2-2 and to be honest I would settle for that now.


Come on Leeds!!!!!

So 0-0 in a match that the Whites should have won and needed to win if we still want to catch The Blunts and get automatic promotion. As it is, form team Watford made the most of Sheff Utd’s dropped points with another big win. We'll have to beat them at home on Tuesday and hope that Reading do their stuff against the aforementioned blunts at the same time. If things go our way it is still all on for that second spot.

Yet another training ground injury meant Richard Cresswell was unable to play or even make the bench, following on from Frazer Richardson and Eirik Bakke last week it is becoming a bit of worry.
Hulse and Blake both injury doubts earlier in the week started up front for us and we had chances early and should have had a penalty when Rob Hulse was blatantly pushed in the box.


HT 0-0.


The second half went pretty much as the first with both teams having half chances but the better ones falling to us. We had a second penalty appeal waved away after another crap challenge from Hajto on sub Moore who at that time was looking lively. It was at this point that although we looked dangerous I had the feeing we were not going to get one and we didn’t.


FT 0-0.


We really need to be beating these teams if we want automatic promotion but to put an optimistic slant on it we have lost a few of these sort of games already this season, Sheff W, Brighton, Crewe and it does keep the unbeaten run going.


P.S. Credit to the Derby fans 27,000 for a team dicing with relegation.


Big match on Tuesday, certainly one we don't want to lose. Can’t wait, lets have no more training ground injuries though.

Just one change for The Whites from the draw with the Tractor Boys with David Healy replacing Rob Hulse. Because of a lack of fit keepers at the club, QPR started with one they only signed at lunchtime today from Sheff U. I'm surprised the south Yorkshire plodders did not offer them the use of Paddy Kenny to try and stop us.
The visitors put plenty of men behind the ball as we dominated possession but created little until 39 when Richard Cresswell headed in an Eddie Lewis free kick to give us the lead.




Half Time
The second half just had to be better than the first, and it was. Both teams had chances, Cresswell and Lewis were always involved but Healy was quiet and it was no surprise to me when he was taken off on 71 and replaced by Robbie Blake who was soon followed by Rob Hulse replacing Cresswell. On 84 we deservedly got our second through the prolific Paul Butler with an excellent header and that made the game safe.

It was a better effort than Ipswich in midweek but I still think there should be much more to come from the boys, next time out KB should have more options in midfield with Bakke and Griffiths available.


If Watford can do us a favour on Monday automatic promotion is still on, today’s results though have helped cement a play off spot, we are now 13 points clear of the Joneses in 7th with a game in hand.


Next up Derby.


Come on Leeds!!!!

Richard Cresswell came good against his former employers with two goals in the last 10 minutes to see off a Wednesday side with no ambition to cross the half way line, never mind trouble Sully in our goal.


Playing in front of our best crowd of the season, not far short of 28,000 our own football was not great until Paul Butler opened the scoring on 70, hopefully it was good enough to persuade some of those extra 4,000 or so Whites fans who attended the game to come back again against QPR in a fortnight.
Once Butler had put us in front there was no way back for The Owls and justice was done when Cresswell first headed in Kelly’s corner and then fired home Walton’s cross to make it 3 – 0.

We have some tricky games coming up in February and with the news about Killa’s injury being worse than expected we need to bring in another central defender as, and I know I have mentioned this before once or maybe 10 times, Gregan is not up to it and will be found out by teams with speedier attacks than Wednesday had.
Bring in that extra defender and the play offs would be a certainty.


Crap prediction this week I am pleased to say, we seemed to show no after effects from the Wigan game at all.

– bring on Ipswich.
