Neil Redfearn is alive to the threat that former Leeds United striker Ross McCormack will pose at the weekend when the Whites host Fulham.
McCormack, who was prolific for Leeds in the Championship last season, upped sticks and moved to Fulham in the summer amid a blast from Whites owner Massimo Cellino and his own unhappiness at the departure of Brian McDermott.
And McCormack will be aiming to shoot down his old club on Saturday when Fulham make the journey to his old stomping ground in Elland Road.
Redfearn was in charge of Leeds' academy when McCormack was bulging the net for the first team and the Whites boss knows his side's defence must be ready to meet the threat posed by the Scot.
"He did great for Leeds", Redfearn told a press conference.

"We want to focus on ourselves and get a performance.
"We've got to make sure we're ready."
