Or 4-2-3-1.

I guess Johnson sees Elland Rd as a stage fit for a performer. Enter stage Lee Tomlin

[Shtanley]

I thought the reason to not have Magnusson on the bench was because he only covers one position. Yet now Matthews (only a RB), replaces Vyner (CB/RB). I appreciate Hegeler is the back up CB should things go wrong but Vyner would make more sense to me. 

[BCFC Rich]

I hope Taylor is fit enough for a decent amount of game time, thought his movement against Derby was great. Pleased to keep the same midfield 4 too.

Impossible.

I only train twice a week but I'm fitter than Karlsson På Taket

Do we ever keep the same team. Can't resist a tinker can he.

My guess is losing 5-0. I base it on last weekends result and a possible early Leeds goal. Only one of many possible scenarios of course.

F off

COYR!!

Why can't we win?

 

Edit: Sorry that was supposed to quote daored's post

[miketh2nd]

Would of been tempted to have Djuric on instead of Tomlin for his defensive capabilities but Tammy doesn't seem to click with  him so suppose it's swings and roundabouts.

He did say before today that Taylor was nursing a hamstring complaint but don't let that get in the way of a moan.

Same as I'd take before the game last Saturday

Me too but my expectations changed at half time, didn't yours?.

Not sure about this line up. Cotterill and bryan will be whipping balls in to tammy on his own now. Could be a much easier job for their back line without tammy and Taylors movement. 

 

Apparently, Taylor has some hamstring issues or I think he would have started again.

As I said it's just a guess based on ONE of many possible scenarious. What actually will happen no one got clue about. Managers topping the list.

 

[bristolcitysweden]

People say City will go down. I say I haven't got a clue. I don't play and don't have a say.

Why not start Djuric? He seems a better choice

[wendyredredrobin]

It's bloody 4 5 1 again.  If we are going to succeed in this division, we need 2 up top.

Look at the way we ripped Derby to shreds in the 1st half.  Its just a question then of how we play once 3 up and I would have gone all out to score 6.

We have the players, we have the capability, now all we need is a regular formation and forward minded tactics.

Leeds will have it easy tonight with this formation.

Could be that as Leeds line up in that formation - match 'em up.

But the midfield worked really well last game so I'd hope we keep that momentum.

Absolutely.

[samo II]

Like the fact we're still 442, and if Taylor is limited by his hamstring, can see the logic.  

Just hope Tomlin combines as well with the rest of the line up as Taylor did on Saturday; we know Tomlin has it in him to contribute, my only concern is whether he's got the legs to keep up with the rest of them.

Better than seeing wholesale changes, and depending on the scoreline and state-of-play, having Djuric and Taylor to throw at them to try and get something isn't the worst.

Hopefuly for a point, though am realistic, and would be delighted if we could just put in another decent showing.

COYR!

I agree it make more sence to start with Djuric and put Tomlin on when the game is opening up.

[Slack Bladder]

Looks like Johnson is going for the defeat and he might just get it.

Leeds are on a slight dip in form, go for the juggler I say.

I personally feel Tomlin will thrive tonight, Heggler and Brownhill are a solid partnership that will give him creative freedom. Cotterill and Bryan are hard working wingers so I feel Tomlin will have a bit of a free role tonight and as long as we aren't constantly defending he should be ok!!

[archie andrews]

should have kept same side that started Saturday.....Tomlins a weak link I'm afraid

Yes he should have started Djuric,  then we could have all had a good moan about leaving Tomlin's out.  Damn you LJ!!!!

Not should anyone would moan after our first half performance on Saturday, but to each their own I guess

Not a bad shout would be good to see him on for a while, with Cotterill putting in some crosses. Although I would be a little worried we might sit back and just pump balls towards him.

[tts_city]

tinkerman strikes again, one up top, its served us so well lately away from home. 442 worked well on saturday before the inevitable, why not try it again with the same lineup ? hohum, anyway heres hoping we get something tonight.

[Unan]

I'd be happy with a draw but to clarify before be the game, if we throw away a good lead I will NOT be happy with a draw.

[wendyredredrobin]

Just hope Leeds dont attack our flanks, otherwise we will lose.  They must do their homework and see where our week links are, down the right and down the left.
