    Cody Drameh on course for yet another MoM performance and another assist for Cardiff. Championship football is the toughest football around and hes taken to it with ease, and in a relegation team but has turned the clubs fortunes around. So I disagree with those who say he wasnt ready for the Prem. His first game he kept Martinelli of Arsenal quiet so not bad going. Admittedly his next appearances were a bit hit and miss but a kid and nerves…… we need him back next season

    Brentford, Everton, Norwich and Watford all getting beat. Barcodes pick up a point but Burnley score 3 and look like beating the south coast gays. Brentford still a point ahead of us but we have 3 games in hand on them

    Cody Drameh 8

    Another stellar display from the Leeds United loanee. Looked the most likely to create for most of the afternoon and was terrific in defence, too.

    It's great to hear that he's adapted well at cardiff, but he is playing at championship level.<ok>

    For him personally? yes. For the club he is contracted to? No.

    Can’t have it both ways. Nearly everyone would dump Roberts, also saying we’re keeping players far too long. Seems your loyalty only works one way. He wants to make a career in football and not playing any doesn’t help.

    He would have sat on the bench for us as an unused substitute, not a cat in hells chance would Bielsa have used him. Right decision for us because when Bielsa gets replaced at the end of the season the new guy will have a decent RB competing for a place.

    If we go down we will have the best RB in the Championship

    You asked a question.

    Him leaving made our squad smaller and weaker. I'm pretty much only interested in what is best for Leeds United and we, as a squad, are poorer for him leaving.

    The fact that he is playing and playing well does actually benefit the club as his price will increase or we may end up with a better player on our hands.

    My issue with him wanting to go was that he put himself before the club as the club wanted him to stay and he went against those wishes.

    Hopefully Ayling doesn't succumb to another injury or suspension this season.

    He played the game before leaving from the bench.

    If Ayling gets injured he was competing with Shackleton as stand in.

    Hopefully Ayling stays fit, Cody plays games at Cardiff and everything works out fine. I've a feeling Cody was edging Shackleton out at the time he left.

    The club gambled not strengthening in January. It was another gamble Cody wanting out because he wouldn't play when we just don't know what injuries are around the corner.

    I completely see where you are coming from but at this stage of his career I don't see why he would put us first. If we had developed him and he was Leeds through and through maybe it would have been different. He wants to play football and he wasn't getting picked for the U23s or the full team enough. At the time of his departure, Ayling was fully fit, we had three CB's and Dallas was preferred to him on the right when Ayling wasn't playing, Shackleton was on the verge of being available again, in the eyes of Bielsa Drameh was 4th choice.

    Look at Gelhardt as an example, who would seriously have imagined with Bamford out for virtually the entire season he would have had such little game time.

    Have you tried writing to the club about this?

    Difficult enough to get a ticket, but to then commit to travelling expenses once you have it in your hand is devastating when some blazer somewhere decides that tv comes before the fans.

    The tv company pays us millions for this privilege, and we all generally accept it for the good of our club. However, the club should be using these millions to accommodate fans who have financial loss in these situations. They above all should realise how devastating it is to a dedicated fan who can only fly in occasionally.

    I'm really angry for you. If the club refuse to do anything, I'd get on to the Post to get them to raise it with the club before going on to publish the story.

    Suggestions:
    1. As above, write to club & contact Post/YEP
    3. Get on to LUST or the Supporters club
    4. Is your flight ticket flexible in any way? Most airlines have been doing this free during C19.
    5. If you can get over, there's always our couch (offer comes with a dangerous driver as chauffeur).
