A welcome Merry Christmas to you all even to those from the wrong side of the Pennines, the first of four consectutive games against Yorkshire opposition as North End travel to the most expensive ground in the Championship to take on Leeds United at Elland Road. Given that Sky are managing to screw up the fixtures the game takes place on Sunday as United's game against Wolves takes place tonight.(Thursday)
In a way a slight advantage to North End as they will have two days extra rest although with the fitness programmes that they have these days that does not seem to be a major problem.
As usual with United over the last couple of season since the crazy Italian's take over things are as manic off the field at Leeds, with supporter unrest, managers coming and going at the rate of knots however on the pitch results are possibly starting to improve although understandibly the home form is very patchy.
The fat man is now in charge of football matter and as usual we can expect the usual Evans performance on the touch line and with his teams no nonsense approach. We have never beaten a Steve Evans side, having lost when he was at Crawley and have mainly drawn with him at Rotherham although we did lose once in a play off semi final.
Squad wise last time out Sivestri, Wootton, Bellusci, Coopr, Taylor, Bridcut, Dallas, Cook, Adeyemi, Mowatt and Wood with the likes of Murphy, Byram and Antenucci on the bench. Suspect similar line up although that depends on tonights game. A few Italians in there so could be a bit of a spicy Roses clash.
Second visit to Elland Road we played tennis that night and won the first set 6-4 with the Beast(Parkin scoring 3)
Be highly surprised if that is the score on Sunday.
Possibly changes for us for the side that got a lucky point against Birmingham. Finally joining Stevie May on the out for the rest of the season is Chris Humphrey, needs a second operation on his stress fracture.
