Nope. Always like his attitude. Hate when he gets a red card but seems to have all that under controlWere you not one of the supporters slagging him recently
Yes I went to Ayresome Park, horrible gruesome place
My only visit to Boothferry Park was when we were punished & made to play our first four home games on neutral grounds away from ER
We drew with Spurs 1-1
Fu**** Mitrovich again for Fulham
Think where Fulham would be without him (or where would be with him for that matter).
We’d be still waiting to give him his first start. Can’t hold up ball well enough or defend or do bielsyball. In fact, he’s more or less useless apart from scoring a meager 23 goals
Blimey you're more pessimistic than me. Actually, he'd be perfect, he can do all that AND score.
Thank you

... famous last words. Previously heard just before the playoffs last year!
I like him as a player but never thought he was quite good enough. Great squad player for his versatility/cover and has done really well as centre back under bielsa. Gets mullered for pace at fullback, or when in a back 3 and not suited to wingback in bielsaball so opportunities have been limited. He’s 31 so I guess that impacts on any new contract.

but is his arse as fat as big kev’s? If you can’t help the team with efficient bench warming you’re not a transfer target
Pablo got a new one at 34? Can’t see a two year contract hurting. After all we’ve use him 16 times this season and had ten clean sheets according to Matt. He can’t be that bad
Pablo is a regular starter not squad player. Didn’t say Berra was bad... said he’d done really well as centre back in this side. I’m fine with him as first change at centre back.. it’s when he plays elsewhere he worries me. I think bielsa has drawn the same conclusion. I wouldn’t have a problem with a year extension. Surprised orta hasn’t offered him 5.
Berra is one of those players expected to fill in basically in any of the defensive positions. I suppose understandable he’s not as good in some as others. Take White for example. Outstanding centre half but not as good in Kalvin position. Still think we should keep him as a squad players. Remember Bielsa still chooses him ahead of the young lads on the bench
He was always a fullback, think he’s seen as emergency cover only there now... we have three left backs in front of him.. think he’s on the bench as centre back cover or 3rd cb to close out a game if needed. My guess is they think he’s ageing, slowing and they’ll have or be able to get better alternatives for next year.
Just my take on why the decision was made.. like I said he’s done fine as cb in a back 4 this year but he had a few games in other positions before Christmas that might have sealed his fate.

If we get promoted thank him and let him go, if we fail we are going to lose White, we have committed to a shed load of money for other players and we'll need him still. Very capable at Championship level, I wouldn't want to see him starting for us in the PL
I enjoy his tackling even if at times I look between my fingers. He’d have fitted in nicely in a different eraApologies Eire, my mistake..
Just been watching the joe and connor combined pre Hull preview comments.
Took these out the comments, I found'em very interesting.
PazurielGaetano Berardi has the highest points per game average (2.4) of any Leeds player this season (+5 matches). He also has the highest clean sheets percentage (62.5%) of any Leeds player (+5 matches).
Niall Smiththought ben white had his best game in that position against boro he covered well and got some great tackles in especially when boro broke. its bamford that worries me his confidence is so low
Thomas BrennanI think Bamford actually thinks he's much better than he is
glenn morelandBamford couldn't hit a factory gate at 6 yards...
Alan MckeeEnough excuses for Bamford ......he doesn’t take the chances that come his way. Any other manager would have dropped him by now!
TheDandob1982Costa gets stick because he's your typical frustrating to watch winger and his end product can be inconsistent
glenn morelandCosta is too lightweight...and easily barged off the ball...
Mal ReidMorning lads, would like to see Poveda given some minutes.
Mark Cooperbamford 1 goal in 10..not enough. same as larst season.get rid off him.

If these guys were worth listening to, they'd be posting on here. But they don't. You're really having to cast the net wide to find someone that agrees with your outlandish fantasies.
Perhaps you need to find another outlet for your poisonous attacks on OUR players. Starter for 10 ..... https://www.not606.com/forums/manchester-united.23/

Just watched the combined Joe and Connor Pre Hull Match Youtube video and basically it was no different than any Leeds thread on here. People posting different opinions, and thus in the interest of fair balance, I've included both negative and positive quotes below.

I think in the centre of defence, the ball comes from in front of you, and everything is in front of you. So you know how much time you have, and tend to let the ball come to you. In the KP role, you often recurve the ball from the defence, while you are facing your own goal, so you have to be aware of players around, and behind you, and most importantly, when the ball is passed to you, you don't let it come to you, or an opponent will be closing you down, and nicking it. You have to move toward the ball, to make sure it gets to you, and buys you more time.KP does that. White isn't used to that. For Shaw doesn't either. That's why he does better further forward.

Come on Bamford! You can do it dude! We need to stand behind the entire team. (this was the comment with the most likes at the time I looked with 13 likes after just under 4k views of the video. No comment either positive or negative was disliked.)

For me, a lot of the critism comes from fans who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.... they certainly cant be watching all leeds tv. I feel its a lot of repeating anything negative they have seen on line simply for 'likes'.

I agree Costa is the one who can drive at the defence and he is still learning.I think he will blossom for us come the run in. We have got the momentum now going intothe Hull game. I really hope Kalvin P can get back from injury. He is so important toour overall game

It's not just Bamfords finishing which is poor, it's also his positioning most of the time. Anyone who has a issue with Costa is off his rockers! It's as simple as that.
