Leeds United - Millwall December 3rd 2011

Saturday will be another emotionel day for fans of Leeds United, our first home game since Leeds legend Gary Speed sadly passed away last sunday - I am hoping for a bumper crowd a ER and even more for a great goodbye salute to Speedo.

Our opponents are rivals Millwall, known to be complete morons and famous for waiving Turksh flags and singing anti Leeds chants, but hopefully they can behave and help us give Speed one last cheer.
Millwall are in 17th and hopefully we can push them further towards the relegation zone and in the same moment start a good home record. The main player to keep and eye on is Darius Henderson, who is their topscorer with 8 goals, but apart from him there is not much else about Millwall to worry about.

Leeds showed everyone that they belong in the top 6 with a great 4-0 away win in Nottingham on wednesday and hopefully we can now kick on and get into top 2 before x-mas. Both Howson and Becchio got in the goals on wednesday, and I think Simon Grayson will play the 451 again tomorrow. Andy Lonergan is still a doubt, but back in training so hopefully we will soon see our nummer 1 back in the team, and apart from him there is not to many injury problems to report, SG will probably pick the same 11 that did ever so well on Wednesday, if he chooses 442 he will swap Michael Brown with McCormack I guess.

The most important thing about Saturday will be the half time goodbye to Gary Speed though, Gary McAllister, Gordon Strachan & David Batty, Speedo's midfield collegues from the championsship winning side will be at ER to say goodbye to their friend, so another emotionel day to follow for the fans inside and outside of Elland Road.

Hopefully we can win another one for Gary and I predict Leeds to win 3-0 with goals from Becchio, Snoddy & McCormack!

I hope everyone inside Elland Road will do their best to give Gary Speed the "sent off" he truely deserves! RIP GARY SPEED - WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!
