"We must do better" is the message coming from Neil Warnock as Leeds aim to convert their cup form into league points as rock bottom Bristol City travel to Elland Road.

For the second time in a week, Leeds face the side at the bottom of the Championship and aving come unstuck at Barnsley last Saturday the whites' will be anxious to avoid a repeat against a Bristol City side who no doubt will be lifted by a change in manager.

Sean O'Driscoll who's last outing as a manager was against Leeds on Boxing Day takes the helm and Warmock recognised despite their lowly position, the Robins do have quality within their side.

“Bristol City will be really well organised and they’ve got good players. Every club in the Championship has good players. They’ll want to impress (O’Driscoll) and it’ll be a bit more difficult than it might have been a couple of weeks ago." Warnock said.

The Leeds boss will have Luciano Becchio back after a virus. Whether or not our top scorer will get back into the side after Ross McCormack and El Hadji Diouf scored at Birmingham midweek remains to be seen.

A more pressing problem is who will play at left-back following Adam Drury's ankle injury which is expected to keep him out for some time. Aidy White came on and did well at St Andrews and I'm sure the majority of us would prefer to see him play there instead of Lee Peltier, who switched to centre-back on Tuesday night.

I'm going for a narrow 1-0 or 2-1 win, despite the lift O'Driscoll will give the current wooden spoonists, we are a bit of a bogey side where they are concerned.

We seem to be having a run of games against teams who have just changed their manager. That's two in successive games, with Wolves and Blackburn to come next month. Not good for us, as the other club always seem to get a result.
