I hope your right Jo I really do.

What better game for McCormack to get off the mark for us?!?

Agreed. :arrow: :mrgreen:

[gnscloz]

never mind all the doom, cardiff nailed us when on top form as did leicester,
unless i,m mistaken things have changed a little now, cardiff have hit a brick wall and theres no better time to play them,
they,re a decent team but so are we, i dont see a drubbing this time, whilst on the subject of pessemism we have played four of the pre season favourites in last 4 games, played 3 off the park and struggled against one yet we,re still unbeaten,
as leeds fans we adjust our expectations week after week, a spot in the play offs is realistic, if we sort our defence we may sneak automatic, so come on lets remain positive but realistic

[dezzy]

I would play an ultra defence formation.
4-2-3-1

conolloy-obrien-bruce-bessone
Johnson - Faye
snods - howson - mc-cormack
Becchio


Hit em best they can on the brake.

Like that team

Like that team

except bessone!!

[CardiffWhite]

except bessone!!

Bessone completely cocked it up didn't he? They only time I saw him play was the opener against Derby. He was really shocking. The frustrating thing is he was really good at Swansea so I'm not sure what went wrong with him. Maybe he just needs more playing time, but I wouldn't risk that with important league games. Is he getting much time in the reserves and how is he doing?

[Silky]

If it were up to me.. which it's not...

------------- Schmeichel
Connolly - O'Brien - Bruce - Bessone
---- Watt - Howson - Faye - Sam
---------- Becchio - Somma

Just for something different

Faye is a proper defensive midfielder and would make things a bit easier for Howson.. Watt and Sam are explosive players and i think we should see more of them. Somma deserves another go, he never did anything wrong. And i know there is no excuse for how s**t Bessone was at the beginning of the year, but Simon must have seen something in him or he wouldnt have brought him in.

Yeah, I'd like to see Somma given another go, if only to come of the bench.

Ya its a shame, thought he was going to be good for us!! as you say was good at swansea, mabey worth another go but he was so bad

[Emsley]

He was shcoking against Barnsley -

[CardiffWhite]

Cardiff's new signing Parkin is injured and will miss the game tomorrow.

Yes he was cheap

[1964white]

Still have nightmares when i think about what went on that night

Naylor, Bessone & a non-existent midfield

Its only game I have been to this season my mate subbed me the cash to go.

[Kepler]

depends on if we play 442 or 451.

4-4-2

Kasper
Connolly- O'Brian- Collins-Parker/BJ

Snoddy-Howson-Bruce-Sam

Ross-Lucy

Watt for snoddy if he is not fit

4-5-1

Kasper

Connolly- O'Brian- Collins-Parker/Bromby

Bruce

Howson - BJ
Gradel Sam
Lucy

would rest Snoddy in this formation.

[Twiggster]

Parker not ready yet....can't train on frozen pitches or the hard indoor pitch at TA. Not match fit

[White Class]

We should be confident going into tonight's game.
Since they did us 4-0, we are twelve unbeaten, Even if Cardiff do turn it on like they did at ER - We won't go down so easy this time!

We have to stick with the 4-5-1 as the wingers (Snoddy's MOTM performances and Max's goal contribution) have been terrorizing teams (not so much against Boro). If I was Grayson I'd go with...

Kasper

Connolly, Collins, O'Brien, Hughes

Watt, Howson, McCormack, Johnson, Gradel

Becchio

I wouldn't play Bruce because he had a howler against the Cardiff front-line last time.
Snoddy is apparently out (hope not) and if so I think Watt deserves a go, Sam looks better as a late sub than a starter.
McCormack to make ammends for his miss and punish his old team.

I think we'll do 'em 4-2!!!
