I'll go with Leon's team except I'd play White at LB.
Tho if the argy isn't playing 100% (again!), sub Gray on for him before half time.

Give hall a chance please, not seen much of him but after our last 2 performances got to be worth a punt. Have a solid midfield round him, would have liked to have poleon in team as well but have to settle for diouf.
Would also give ashdown a run, kenny made some great saves but a bit iffy lately.

Prob team
......kenny

byram....lees....pearce...drury

green....austin/brown...norris....tonge

.......diouf....beccs

would like

.............ashdown

pelts.....lees......pearce.....drury

......tonge...austin...norris

poleon..........................hall

He in my opinion is the only player who is willing to try the unexpected not saying it comes off everytime but at least he tries.Also i think everyone who is getting a Bechhio must remember that he looked a better player with McCormack playing plus the last few games nobody can say we have played well so at least lets have him back.

Time to through Hall in to start, deep-end and all. Sink or swim lad.

I want to see Hall but he can't start. Not until he gets a sub appearance or two in. He was training by himself for weeks prior to coming to Leeds, I doubt he is fit enough to make a start. Charlton was the ideal place to give him a run out as a sub, an easier opponent and a home crowd behind him.

Kenny
Lees - Kisnorbo - Pearce - Drury
Byram - Austin - Norris - Tonge
-Diouf - Becchio

If Pelts isn't fit, we need Kis on. Birmingham have quite tall players in their team and we need a strong defence. I think Byram, Lees and White in defence would look too lighweight.

Not knowing how Austin and Pelts are holding up, I am assuming they will not be fit.

Diouf needs to play in the hole, as the play maker. White and Hall belting down the wings, should provide Diouf with enough options to get the ball wide, to get into Becchio, who is at his most deadly when in the box.

Hall and white could swap wings, but White is generally useless on the right, so I would take a punt on giving that to Hall.

Like the look of that side if Pelts doesn't make it. Whilst Byram can certainly do a job at RB, it negates his attacking threat and he is, as riot and others have pointed out, the only one of our players who likes to get ahead of the ball and look to hurt the opposition.

Hall has to be given a run out. Stick him on for Norris around the hour mark and lets see what he can do. Tonge can drop in beside Rudi and hopefully put his foot on the ball (one of the few who seem to want to, WTF?)

Brum under Clarke are a bit powder puff this season imo, and are there for the taking. But only if Warnock gets both the side and the tactics right. Lets get the ball on the deck and play round the opposition, not over them. Who knows, we might just surprise ourselves!

At least our defence won't have to worry about Nikola Zigic today as he is suspended, the big fella's four goal haul at ER was the final nail in the coffin for Larry who was sacked a couple days after the 1-4 defeat.
Peter Lovenkrands (Danish ex-Rangers) is also missing due to an injury

Zigic is therefore responsible for the appointment of Colin and should, as a result, be deported for crimes against the finest football club in all England.
