Got to agree bud. After we scraped home against Brum in our “golden patch” I said to Ben you won’t see many better teams at Elland Road (apart from Leeds) this year. I thought they were very good and would challenge.
She called you an ambulance? LL called me a prick the other day and I’ve been poorly since 15th December, man up
Look at that list and I can’t see more than 30 points, tough run indeed. Enjoy your month off, sounds awful
Someone mentioned Roofe had only had 26 shots at goal, the reason for that could be plainly seen yesterday. Every time he got on the ball in the box he was swamped out by big centre halfs. He isnt big enough, he needs support or a pass in behind the defender for him to run onto. The club site now have Roofe as a striker which is fair enough as he has scored goals. He will always score against certain defences, but the majority in this league will crowd him out, swamp him, stop him as he isnt able to have his back up against a big defender then spin him and get a shot off. Roofe and Lassoga stats show both score a goal every 160 minutes, Roofe on 10 goals 2 assists. Lassoga 5 goals and 3 assists. Lassoga has only played 800 minutes to Roofes 1600 minutes and both have the same number of shots on target 26 & 25 To compare Roofe to the top 5 strikers in the Championship as all have similar minutes on the pitch all of them have double the amount of shots on goal, so obviously able to move defenders around to get a shot off whereas Roofe isnt able to. lassoga remember has only spent half the time on the pitch as Roofe but has the same amount of shots on target so extrapalate having the same amount of time on the pitch as the top 5 strikers he would have exactly the same amount of shots on target as them. So yes he may look a fat lazy twat but he does his job well compared to the best in the league.
Doc, see post 52 above, and the link attached - accurate goals per minutes ratio for the Championship, and Roofe's up there - minutes on the pitch 1363, PML's not listed. The top 5 goalscorers in the Championship all have much poorer on-target ratios than Roofe. Maybe he isn't getting the same service as some other strikers from midfield and the wings? He can clearly move defenders around, and they're scared to touch him round the penalty area, not necessarily his fault he gets fewer shots off. Roofe clearly has serious potential if we can work out how to maximise it - 65% shots on target, 7 goals from 20 shots in all. If we can make it 40 shots in the next half season, how many goals? Over to you, TC. More than one way to extrapolate potential from stats Doc.
Sorry to hear that, Ell. Hope you'll be out soon & give us a sordid, detailed report on each nurse you nailed
And if Jansson jumps at the chance it'll be another ex leeds player the fans hate, at the rate we're going there ain't going to be anyone left to like. Totally effing agree Marcus, why would you bring Phillips back with a good Polish international in wings. Phillips has been in first team for 3 years, and we're still in championship, we still have teams running through our midfield like a knife through butter, or a double decker bus, most games you don't even know he's playing.........you have great insight Marcus, I love it, and you're absolutely 100% correct, why should we bring him back. I reckon everyone should tune in to your insight, it's effing unbelievable.......

I will go along with your pretence of having LL on ignore. He / she called me a prick so I think that is a fair response.
Ey up lads whatnfuckingnday is it !! Managed to get tickets for some home game after Birmingham feck knows been a meerynpisstmas at pub god I'm still things ya do with ya hands when ya don't have a bird !!!
Just spotted you’re in hospital. It got lost among all the wj glory millions of Posts. Lousy way to spend a Christmas Matt but get well soon
I have him on ignore (he is currently the only one). Very occasionally if he is the last poster on a thread I take a peak at his output. If does seem a bit harsh of you to put him on ignore for speaking the truth though!
Erm I don't think there have been more that 5 posts by either of us since Matt entered ITU. Don't make us your excuse for ignoring his plight.
