This is as tough as it gets and will test our resolve to the limit. They have won 17 and drawn one of their last 18 games at home. But KJ always said that these kind of runs have to come to an end at some time so why not tomorrow against us? They are a decent outfit with some world class players who can come at you in many different ways. So, we are going to have to be at our very best to get anything out of this one. Add to all of that we have few options, especially up front so NH cannot shuffle the pack and pick a very different team. Despite all their advantages we are on a roll and full of confidence so we approach the game with no fear and can almost think of it as a free hit. NH will have been firing them all up at Calmont Road and watching to see who is up for it.
There can be no doubt that Shark will wear the gloves. He will see more action at Elland Road than he has seen for a while and will have to be prepared for a busy afternoon. Leonard will be up for it big time and should start at RB. Captain Cooper and match winner Tango will be in central defence and Joe should start at LB despite being pressed by Murray. Central midfield is nailed on with Sav and Billy and Honeyman should start on the right with Flem as a 10. Oba is the only option at CF but the only place up for grabs is wide left. For me Longman is unconvincing and Watmore blows hot and cold. Is this the game to give Mayor as start? It’s a tough call. My thoughts are,
Shark
Leonard Tango Cooper Joe
Billy Sav
Honeyman Flem Mayor
Oba
Subs Bart Danny Murray Hutch Esse Campbell BNC Watmore Longman
