Dougie Leeds the way

New signing Dougie Freedman will be looking to put Walsall to the sword in front of the live Sky TV cameras at Elland Road later this afternoon. The 34-year-old hit a brace of goals in his first full start for the Whites against Port Vale last weekend, and according to Leeds boss Gary McAllister, the loanee from Crystal Palace is making a big impression on his new team-mates.

'Dougie should have been on the winning side at Port Vale last week after scoring twice,' said McAllister. 'I was very pleased with him. He is good to have around.'

'Dougie has been taking the guys away after training and doing striker movements with them. It is nice to have someone here who has seen it and done it. The players are responding to Dougie.'
