Marching on Together: Hereford match preview

By: j | September 25th, 2008

Leeds welcomes bottom-of-the-table Hereford to Elland in a match they must win to maintain pressure at the top of the table. Seven matches into the campaign the table is taking shape and Gary McAllister must push the club on for maximum points with every chance. It’s time to show a killer instinct and attack Hereford without end.

Recent Form
Hereford - combined (1 W, 1 D, 2 L)(5 GS, 10 GA)
Aug 23 Bristol Rovers 6 - 1 Hereford
Aug 30 Hereford 2 - 0 Crewe
Sep 5 Hereford 1 - 1 Swindon
Sep 13 Southend 1 - 0 Hereford
Sep 20 Hereford 1 - 2 Scunthorpe

Leeds - combined (3 W, 2 D,0 L)(13 GS, 6 GA)
Aug 23 Yeovil 1 - 1 Leeds
Aug 30 Leeds 2 - 2 Bristol Rovers
Sep 6 Leeds 5 - 2 Crewe
Sep 13 Swindon 1 - 3 Leeds
Sep 20 Carlisle 0 - 2 Leeds

Leeds - home (1 W, 1 D, 1 L)(7 GS, 6 GA)
Aug 16 Leeds 0 - 2 Oldham
Aug 30 Leeds 2 - 2 Bristol Rovers
Sep 6 Leeds 5 - 2 Crewe

Based upon prior week’s lineup and Casper Ankergren’s return to health I expect the following lineup:

Casper Ankergren
Frazer Richardson, Paul Telfer, Rui Marques, Lubo Michalik/Aidan White
Andy Hughes/Robert Snodgrass, Neil Kilkenny/Jonny Howson, Jonathan Douglas, Fabian Delph,
Jermaine Beckford, Luciano Becchio

This is one of those “must-win” matches where Leeds must gain full points and stay abreast of Oldham and the top of the table. Gary McAllister’s squad is fully healthy with only Alan Sheehan out, serving the match match of his suspension.

I will report on the match on Monday morning. I apologize for the delay but I am off to my own matches and will likely be unable to properly review and post till that that. I thank you for your patience in this. Until then, We’re Marching On Together.
