    I'm going to defend Saiz here, irrespective of the expected criticism,

    Looking at Saiz coming in from the side, he runs the risk of giving away a penalty, especially with Vieira in front of the player.

    Everyone's having a go at Saiz, but Vieira was the player in front of the attacking player, a sandwich would've been a penalty. Vieiria was the one who allowed the player to get his shot in.........we've also seen very similar in previous games where opposing teams have scored from the same thing.

    Personally, I believe BPF was wrong to have a go at Saiz, and Vieira was wrong to try and grab hold of him. BPF is an up and coming talented, but inexperienced keeper who has made his mistakes too, so has Vieira

    I don't condone Saiz's behaviour, but we have 3 AM's that for most of the game, the other players aren't in sync, it must be very frustrating when Pablo, Saiz and Alioski can't get the players around'em to get in sync and on same page, we've seen this for a lot of the season. Foreshaw has a similar problem with players around him, so does Jansson in defence......Having a coach who can't see this, and doesn't know what he's doing doesn't help either.

    I've got my steel helmet, shin pads and shield on,lol.

    Saiz created little, even Pablo was poor

    Alioski had a stinker

    Only attacking player that turned up with any purpose was Roofe & he isn't good enough imo !

    Were you stood next to me yesterday 1964? my view exactly. Saiz wants out make no mistake, Hernandez hasn't been offered a deal no matter what the club says and alioski needs binning off along with the rest of the **** in summer.

    Good Morning to you all
    Well what did I learn from the game
    We have found a genuine left back who will be a great asset for next season we don't need another one Taylor has been more than replacedIn Paulie OConnor we have found another star to replace Barkley so no need to spend there either
    BPF has replaced Green and will only get better
    We need 2 strikers that's where we have to spend money Ekuban Grot Cibriki are not good enough and I wasn't enamoured with OBurnie he is not the finished article though he tries hard
    Yiadom no thank you and the goes for all the Barnsley team
    SaiZ needs to go he his a bad apple and no wonder he never went anywhere if we can con someone into paying over £5m sell him
    We need someone who is quick and strong for midfield Henri Lansbury and Olie Burke for me
    Philips haircut apart as not developed so loan him out
    These are my observations from yesterdays game

    It's end of season football,nothing to play for,Agree about keeper,other 2 wont let us down but not convinced they will be good enough against the top sides.But to say lets get rid of our best players,because they don't play great every game is just stupid and the reason Cardiff are going up with our ex captain while we are 12 th.Alioski spent his whole time on the pitch yesterday,chasing back protecting pearce from hamill,it was no coincidence they dominated our kids when Alioski went off.

    And over the whole season,the best four players are all second rate foreign ****e,and the British stars who failed to cover for suspended or injured foreign ****e are the reason we are 12th with 3 wins in 21 <doh>

    We will just have to agree to disagree chesh alioski is a fraud in my eyes runs about a lot but never with any conviction, bottles out of challenges constantly, loses the ball too easily and like saiz holds onto it when a simple pass is needed. As for protecting the defender wasn't alioski the one playing in front of Ayling when middlesborough and reading scored two identical goals down that side when Ayling was stranded in no mans land because the show pony didn't get back to help him?
    Cardiff are going up because they are a tough physical side who's players are not blown over by a gust of wind or decide they don't fancy it if it gets a bit tough. Ours on the other hand bar the 3 youngsters have shown they aren't .

    Sorry Chesh, I’ve got to agree with Nick here. Alioski has quite a nice touch but lacks any power or real pace so adds nothing special for me. One pass out from the back yesterday set Alioski off on a chase with the full back, he had a slight head start but got absolutely skinned. Without the skills to beat a full back and no pace we are very square and predictable across the middle.

    LL I think that clip is about a different moment in the game to the one I commented on. I was not really having a go at the player in any case.

    I have been a fan of Saiz in any case, what I was pointing out was his body language after was a worry.

    Contrary to the Glory view Of the world, I believe some of our players have talent, but the squad as a whole is not good enough. Sadly the good players are getting fed up at our inability to do better, Saiz not the only one.

    And they have a player who Leeds fans said wasn't good enough,as the best CH in the championship.Sheffield united beat us twice with a striker who wasn't good enough,so Leeds fans said,Middlesbrough have a midfielder who Leeds fans said wasn't good enough running the show and Reading have a winger as top goalscorer who Leeds fans said would never score.
    Notice any pattern here ? If only we had the players,the fans have driven out,we would be in the prem by now.

    Were you asleep when he sprinted through the middle to score yesterday.He was the one chasing back to deal with hamill yesterday,Pearce would have been ripped to pieces without him,and taking him off,nearly cost us the game yesterday.
    The own goal,was scored under next to no pressure if our foreign ****e Jannson had done that,some on here would be shouting sell him.Home grown kid scored it and it's didn't he do well <doh> the kids did ok,they will be fair cover players,but imo only the keeper will be regular championship standard for the next year or 2

    Probably down to the second rate foreign ****e goalkeeper that has had to be replaced with a 20 year old British lad. hasn't weildwald cost us about half a dozen games. Please don't tell me you're classing lassoga and alioski as in the top 4 players this season

    I'm not sure it was that kind of game.

    Local derbies tend to be more crunching tackles than talent, not that either side had either.

    Barnsley had surpringly little fight for a team in their position.

    Jannson,Saiz,Alioski and Hernandez and without them this season,you would now have lots of league 1 British players and yes,now you say it Lassoga is better than any British Strikers we have.will probably be next seasons player to take another championship team up,not being good enough for Leeds <doh> tell me when was the last goal our British midfield created,has there been one this year ?

    Dallas 2 Phillips 5 roofe 13 that's 3 more than lassoga by the way. Lassoga won't be playing for anybody in the championship next season too expensive and bone idle. The fact is we need much better than we have now but while fans are happy to pay to see the likes of those you've listed were going nowhere

    They are the best 4 players at the club,you want to get rid of the best and keep the **** are you another Glory account ?,and Lassoga has the best goal per mins at the club,he can't score when he doesn't play.
