    Anyway lads would you pick him or Darlow for these two crucial games?

    Darlow for me we're simply not in a position to give gks time

    Bizarre you aren't willing to give a young keeper time but you want to give a serial loser plenty time as manager

    Woodman - we have far bigger problems in the team than the goalkeeper. Think even Bruce recognises that by the numerous changes he made at the back this weekend, which didn't work anyway.

    Its far too simplistic to say we are conceding too many goals so change the goalkeeper.

    I would go with Manquillo Fernandez, Schar, Lascelles, Ritchie this week.

    We can't sub Bruce

    Darlow doesn't deserve a go? He did better.. Seems like it's you not wanting to give people a fair chance

    I never said that it's a secondary argument.

    He's been poor and it's football.....how much time does Darlow deserve? He did well

    Young keepers make mistakes even the best ones. I'd rather blood him in when Dubravkas injured. Might be harsh on Darlow who was decent filling in last year but Woodman could be our keeper for the next 10-15 year

    What we're you saying about ifs?
    that's fair enough though its what you think and you've given your reason.

    For me Darlow did better and right now we don't have the security to let people off and give them time.

    No, I did. Darlow had plenty of time - he did great in some games and made some awful errors in others. I don't see him as the future of our goalkeeping requirements so I would stick with Woodman, until he starts making errors that cost us games on a weekly basis or Dubravka is fit.

    When do we have the time, since he wouldn't play the young players even when we were mathematically safe

    Ok mate fair enough

    It's just opinion this there's no right or wrong.

    Manquillo is injured btw.. He was outstanding not just his goal.. I think he's been a better player for us than prople think over recent seasons

    Murphy provides a fancy dribble and cross every now and then but he's far less intelligent and certainly not a defender

    Manquillo and Lewis are the only 2 wing backs we have but Bruce absolutely loves playing people out of position

    We had time after reaching 40 points last year and in cups.

    Bird brain Bruce didn't use it.

    If we go down Dubs will likley be sold.. Woodman gets no1 then would be my plan.

    We'll go down without a good keeper

    But Bruce is going to keep picking him regardless as he is his club captain so might as well put him in there.

    Ritchie should be nowhere near the team,he's a liability at fullback and he's not really a wingback,if Dummies fit play him if not Lewis

    Got no problem with him personally. He's done ok since the start of the season. Had an absolute shocker at Old Trafford, fronted up afterwards and admitted it. Dubravka has dropped plenty of clangers and cost us games too. Life of a goalkeeper. Happen to crack on with him instead of just giving up at the first hurdle like we normally do. I'm sure he will be super motivated to put it right.

    Dubs wins us most games with unbelievable saves. Made a small number errors in comparison.

    No surprise to me that form picked up with him back last season..

    I don't mind Dubs at all I think he's a good solid keeper. Woodman has done little wrong so far, some of the defending has been shocking. He had a shocker at Old Trafford, no point hiding from it. Which he hasn't. I'll judge Woodman when he's been given the opportunity to bounce back from a bad game, just as Dubs has had to on several occasions in his time here (which he has done to be fair to him). Leeds is a big big game for Woodman now.
