No wonder monk was pissed off. No credibility with the players now Cellino has interfered in the dressing room.
Pontius told Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen. “But there is a clause that says that if I play 20 games, Leeds must buy me.
Old news, Rich old boy! That was reported when we signed him. Need to get the 20 games in as soon as possible if he continues to play like this - can't have anyone nicking him from us!
Only watched the highlights once (24 hours ago) but from what I saw it again seems to me like people picking on Wood. Of those two headers one was ok and one was poor, having said that from my point of view they would've had to be world class headers to beat the keeper. If those are the two best chances we are creating we don't deserve to win, simple as that. I'm getting a little sick and tired of people criticising goal scorers for them not getting enough service. The issue is behind them imo. We could have Suarez in our team currently and we'd score the same amount. Need that creativity behind, I actually think we have the players capable of it as well but team selection seems very off. Picking Mowatt firstly is a bad decision given some of the players we have, putting him in the team out of position makes even less sense. I'm also all for being solid in the midfield but playing two DMs (Phillips has never done anything going forward) in a 4-4-2 is asking to be up against it. You need two proper box-to-box players in the CM if you play 4-4-2 and since Cook left we don't have any really. Need to go back to 4-2-3-1 like Monk has signed the players for. Play our best players in their best positions, I never understand why it is so hard and managers try to fit players in where they clearly don't fit.
Spot on, Josh. As for Phillips, he's clearly acting under orders, as he was very positive in the Development squad and a regular goalscorer. I actually think he's got amazing potential. Since day 1, he's reminded me of a young Graeme Souness, which is quite a compliment from me, being a big Souness fan.
So we can expect him to be dropped after 19 games if Cellino sI still in charge.... Talking about previous mistakes, his reported going in the dressing room and tearing strips off the players was something he accepted he shouldn't have done last time he did it. Manager must be pondering his future if it happened.
Poor ****er has had no chance really though did he? Not recruited till it's too late, no preseason, still getting players scouted and signed without his input, told he must play 4-4-2 and then undermined in front of his players.
Earliest recruitment programme we've had in years. Pre-season was EXACTLY what he wanted - it was he that said he knew how to make players peak in pre-season. Which particular players were signed without his input? Roofe is the only one I'm aware of. Are you suggesting this was a bad signing? I'm more concerned about some of the ones he was very involved with! Told he must play 4-4-2. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Undermined in front of his players - IF he was undermined, then the only criticism from me is that it was overdue. Almost every fan I know would have done the same in Cellino's position. The man clearly cares. Like most of us do.
Morning Jock. If I'd got into that dressing room, I'd have killed someone. Those useless feckers nearly ruined my Saturday and I didn't have to sit through it like you
Funny you should say that. If we had stuck with McDonut and given him time and a back room staff I am sure we would be a lot further up the league than we are now.
Fortunately I had to leave on 65 mins to take my grandson to the circus. It was interesting to note that there was only one clown there - all the others were turning out against 'Udders.
It's two weeks ago since I was getting pelters for pointing out how ****e we are. In that time you have gone from criticising me negativity to being more negative than me. Not saying you are wrong, but loving the irony.
To be fair to myself, any match reports I've written up have been fair assessments that report the good, the bad & the ugly. Even this latest match report has positives in it, so I can't agree with you.
