    Ok guys let’s just throw this in for comment
    Wether you think Bielsa is stubborn or not is immaterial
    If you are the coach/manager your reputation is on the line you put the squad together
    Whom do you put in the squad, surely the best you have available we have to accept that that’s what Bielsa is saying when he selects the team
    Yes I was surprised when he didn’t give Proveda a run out JKA did not surprise me
    Having said that if they don’t show against Forest we have to question why did we buy them
    We obviously needed replacements for Clarke and Eddie but is that all they are if they don’t play we have to question Orta for bringing in players who are not suitable or was it because we got them on the cheap!

    Yep, we've ****ed it up again from an impossible position of strength. Just soul destroying. Bielsa won't stay so maybe the bloke at Brentford if we're still in this division next year.

    But he is the only one with the power to change it. Why not have JKA even on the bench???

    This is my argument pal, were the three choices Orta presented to Bielsa good enough? Che Adams and Andre Gray did not excite me in the slightest, in the end we could not afford them. JKA was the only one left, he is the one I’d have picked out the three but you have to question why we allowed Roofe to leave and Nketiah to join with a clause he could be called back.

    Our damage was done preseason where strikers are concerned, there were a few teams looking for strikers in January, it was pay over the top or scramble about for what was left

    Well he shouldn't be miffed. I know a lot less about football then Bielsa but I said when Bamford signed he goes on scoring streaks and long barren runs, if I know that why doesn't our head coach and if he doesn't is he watching our matches, he's pointed to our conversion rate a number of times but does nothing to change it.

    You can blame the Bosman ruling which effectively gave players the power. Roofe wanted more money, the club weren't prepared to pay what he wanted and so he was sold. There is no point in keeping a player in his last year, if he doesn't want to stay.<ok>

    Leeds refused to pay Roofe what they pay Bamford.

    Roofe hit the roof

    He was going to hand in a transfer request

    FFS, he played at Monaco and in the Bundesliga, hardly micky-mouse leagues that he can't hack the championship.
