Its a big game on Tuesday but Leeds have not been the best at home this season. If we can keep them quiet for the first 20 minutes their fans will start to turn on them team. They are not happy that their captain has just been sold to Norwich.
I would play Nathan personally, I think he will cause their defence problems and is capable of catching them on the break.
I think CH might and I stress might go 4-51 tomorrow night. A draw up there and then beating Southampton and Portsmouth next week will be a great return of results.
I think we could see:
Myhill
Carr (is back in the squad, could of played Sat but was rested)
Davies
Caldwell
Murphy
Mutch
Fahey
Elliot
Burke
Redmound
Zigic
King is still struggling with his injury and if he don't make it, I think we will go 4-5-1.
Whatever CH picks will be fine by me!
why not use redmond? he's playing well scoring a few goals lately why not keep him in and let him make the position his own?
Ashley young was playing week in week out for watford at his age and plenty other youngsters play, if your good enough your old enough, lets not go back to fahey on the left wing because that will weaken the centre of midfield and the left side, the team without redmond I'd prefer murphy left wing and ridgewell left back.
But keep him in and if he is having a stinker make the change
I think CH might be a little cautious with this one; the cup is great but this is our top priority. 451 for me as well Mackem, but whatever CH picks I'm sure we'll put it in a decent performance.
Does anyone know how many we will take for this? Blues site states that the travel has been sold out so I'm guessing about 800/1000.( got mine on general sale) It's a big one for me as 4 of the lads in my office follow Leeds, could be a cracking day at work on Wednesday!!!!
We have sold about 800 so far. I won't be at Leeds unfortunatley this time as the lad who usually drives for us has taken his kids to Eurodisney but I have been before and is a mission getting back for work on Wednesday.
It does pose a head ache for Hughton because of the players we got who should play the same positions.
Fahey, Mutch, Gomis, N'Daw, Elliot all play better in the middle but depending on how man Strikers we play there is only 2-3 places for those 6 players.
With Beausajour gone, that frees up the Left Wing to Redmond or maybe Elliot.
The Team selection is hard because i see only King, Davies, Burke and Murphy as sure starters. As for the rest there is a lot of competition which can only be a good thing.

BCFC83 your right if King is not at 100%
But Rooney may have some confidence from his brace against Utd so maybe start him.
I would play a 4,2,3,1
The midfield.
-------Fahey----Mutch
Burke-------Elliot-------Redmond
This gives the Striker more support, Redmond could act as support Striker with Elliot cutting out wide.
The KiD
What about trying Valles left side footballer if even off the bench as many games coming up including Chelsea
I was hoping that Valles might have had 10 minutes on Saturday but I guess CH doesn't think he is ready yet, but I agree that it would be good to keep getting him on the bench and looking to use him as soon as we can.
Mackem
Like most Bluenoses I get excited whenever Redmond gets the ball & I think he is a terrific prospect for the club, I just feel that we need to use him sparingly. I don't think a visit to Leeds is a good time to use him, we could end up getting found out if Murphy is too exposed.
I glad some seen what are saw from his practise before game ' St Andrews nows how to put into corners..
Said then to my b-in law good player and like his placement.. Seen him before Horsefield esque
Sorry abluesfan, you've turned my brain to jelly trying to work what you said!
Or is it just me?
I think Redmond should start on the bench, bring him on when their full backs are tired, I think I'd like Elliot to start.
Valles i forgot about him, well forgot to mention
The thing is Hughton and McLeish have not been giving him chances, maybe thats a sign that he may not be good enough?
But with Beausjour gone and Ridgewell maybe next, then i think it wont hurt to use him off the bench.
