Leeds United & Adam Clayton will visit the posh tomorrow, Clayton spent part of last season on loan there and helped Peterborough clinch promotion to the championship. Darren Ferguson's men have played better then expected and find themselves in 7th place with 19 points, 12 of them coming from games on London Ground, so it's a team with a decent home record that we face.
It's not a team full of stars but they have a few worth keeping an eye on, George Boyd being the biggest name, and also former Leeds youngster Ben Gordon on loan from Chelsea - Their most famous name is probably their manager, Alex Ferguson's son Darren, who has guided them from league 2 to the championship, then got relegated and left the club to manage Preston (and beating us 4-6 at ER) and then returned to the posh and got them promoted, among all these great things he's also managed to get arrested for beating his wife!
Leeds United have played som great football in recent weeks and have started looking like a top six team again, we suffered a little bump on Tuesday when Coventry managed to steal a point in overtime on a mistake from reserve keeper Paul Rachubka. Sadly Andy Lonergan is expected out for 6-7 weeks so I hope that Paul can find his pre season form so Loner's injury won't cost us points. Simon Grayson is not expected to make radical changes to the side, I would love to see Luciano Becchio replace Andy Keogh soon, but will also admit that Keogh have not played himself out of the side, however both he and Ross McCormack were replaced by Luciano and Mikael Forrsell on Tuesday so maybe SG is looking to try Becchio out for 90 mins soon?
I think the lads will pick themselves up after the disapointment on Tuesday and start a winning streak on Saturday (tough games coming up, Birmingham (A), Cardiff and Blackpool (H), the two home games with me in the stands!!), so a solid win tomorrow to give confidence for the next games would be nice!
So I say 3-1 Leeds, goals by Clayton, Keogh & Becchio
