Andy Robinson joins wounded list

Leeds United midfielder Andy Robinson joins Jermaine Beckford on the injured list as he suffered a pulled hamstring in the recent Histon debacle. He is expected out for a full month and along with Jermaine Beckford, Malcolm Christie and suspended Fabian Delph, Gary McAllister will need to juggle the lineup against Tranmere.

The biggest concern is quite honestly young Fabian and Jonny Howson will need to pick up the pace in his absence with Robert Snodgrass pulling back into wing position with firm stance of a pace driven attack. Enoch Showunmi and eighteen year-old academy product Tom Elliot should be paired alongside Luciano Becchio in a 4-4-2. A more aggressive attack and one that I would urge, would employ a 4-3-3 with Robert Snodgrass, Enoch Showunmi/Tom Elliot and Luciano Becchio forming a hearty striking trident.
