Good Morning Everyone The Ipswich fans are kicking off. Ipswich Town have increased Leeds ticket allocations from 2150 to over 3000. The fans are up in arms saying it shows the wrong message. Jordan Cropper's strike proves to be the difference between tonight’s two sides as Burnley progress in the FA Youth Cup 1-0 please log in to view this image Bansley gaffer Paul Heckingbottom thinks Leeds set out to target Harvey Barnes, the 19 year-old they have on loan from Leicester City. Referring to the first incident Heckingbottom said “It is appalling that he got booked for a kid (Ayling) trying to win a penalty. An appalling dive, I don’t have to see it back to know that. If the referee blows and books him (Ayling), Harvey doesn’t react. That put him on the back foot but, to me, it was more the reactions of their bench that put him under pressure”. Heckingbottom was also unhappy with the way that the Leeds bench celebrated that goal, seemingly by someone looking in his direction as they did so. “One of their lads needs to learn how to celebrate. He needs to have a bit of class about him, instead of trying to get over and signal to our bench. He was trying to say it wasn’t at me but that doesn’t matter. You don’t do that.”
Evening Ell, 60 and all from a very sultry QLD. Surely it is a punishable offence, -15 points, to assess a team and exploit its weaknesses. It should not be allowed at all Mr Heckingbottom (what an amazing name) you are to commended for pointing out such a travesty of justice and fair play in the English game. You wouldn't find an Aussie doing that
Morning all. I’m More concerned about Villa on Friday than what Barnsley have to say at this point. Isnt it always the same after a team loses. Everyone’s to blame, referees, opposing benches fans etc. Hope Bruce is moaning around 10pm Friday.
Morning all. If he'd watched it he'd have seen Aylings ankle roll over under him as he ran and turned. That's why he went down and didn't make anything of it by getting up quick to pursue the ball.
Terry has lost his legs but he still has a good footballing brain, unfortunately, Perhaps Saiz and Alioski can give him a run for his money and Ekuban, could also out pace him as well but I don't think we have anybody to really shake him up physically ?
Good Morning to Matt Kevin Eric WJK and Co from a sunny frosty Bardsey The Villa game should be quite tasty but having not got one prediction right recently I have decided to abstain The Wood Taylor Silvestri sale should have brought in about £26m plus 7.5 from Danny Rose so it will be interesting how much is releasedI know one of our prophets is saying it won 't be much
Good Morning Eric Ekuban seems to have upper body strength and he will destroy Terry for pace Grot too is a big lad but plays like a pussy cat
Maybe or do we put Grot on for a 30 - 40 minutes spell. He is a big unit and perhaps could be focused on a task ?
As I pointed out Eric we need to balance the side so we need a proper left back Joe Bryan fits the bill A goalkeeper that catches the ball Macarthy of Southampton for me and I real striker .Then we should start being consistent The lad we loaned from MU bothers me because I can see him turning out like Wooton and his career is just about over .Why because they thought they were to good for Leeds a shame.I also feel very sorry for Mowatt after a memorable first seasonhbis career spiralled down and now he sits on the bench at Oxford
Morning all, all this talk about January window I hope will clear up some of the issues I see at the club. has Orta been a success? I would say 60/40 in his favour with Saiz & Alioski as being he stand out players so far. Felix was a strange one but on paper he was a shrewd buy as he has the potential to be the best in this league, but why wasnt he schooled in how the Championship works on the field. His distribution is great from hand, short passes out from defence or long balls. His stats are pretty good but we killed him and his confidence was shot. Looks like he was overdue to get his place back and kept another clean sheet, but still question marks. Grot I dont understand. He is fast, powerful can play either wing or up front and before he came here he scored goals. As 60 says he plays like a pussy, so for me he shouldnt have been brought in as we dont have passengers in this league, we need everyone to step up. Sacko why did we spend the cash as we have no chance of getting a return as it looks like another season wasted. Cibicki on paper was another great buy but not seen him so dont understand why we buy players so that we have 2 for every position then not play them preferring to play someone out of position first? So obviously not good enough. Klich for me was a great buy but somethings not right, so I dont blame Orta for this but we need to sell him in January. Anita a good buy but now not being used in midfield or at the back. CBJ, dont get it as hes potentially a great left back but after a great start he had one mare then seems his confidence blown or a fall out. Pennington was a great loan signing, just wish he was used more.
Ive watched a fair bit of Villa Mike because the son in laws a Villa fan and I dont have much choice. Whereas Terry may be lost for pace, hes still a great organiser, football brain etc and I suspect motivator, still a class act and would have been a huge asset for us except for his ridiculous wages. Theyve improved a hell of a lot in the last ten weeks when ironically weve been back pedalling. They will prove to be a serious test and a great indication of our squads real ability I believe
I’ve admired what heckingbottom has done at Barnsley, he admitted his side was second best on Saturday but... he needs to stfu I’m sure in private he’s telling Barnes he was wrong to over-react and that he shouldn’t rugby tackle people when he’s on a yellow... so he shouldn’t be looking for excuses for him in public
Villa are definitely a good test, no doubt about that. They’re not playing scintillating football, but are well organised and have good players across the park. Relying on Adomah for goals, hopefully that’s due to dry up as he’s never been prolific before... always a handful against us though
Morning sixty cant see us doing much in jan but perhaps we might bring a goale in and discard donnie lonergan to the scrap pile.he is useless at best.
Water boy ?or maybe an upright.he was through at barnsley and had room on his left but ran straight at goalie and kicked it straight at a defender.i think he might be a gentle giant.
So the question is pennington better than cooper.i dont think we will find out until him or pontus get sent off.
