Morning Everyone, Honours were shared at Ewood Park on Saturday after settling for a 0-0 draw. I say settling as Warnock decided it was not worth putting any substitutes on, even though it sounded like a game that we should have won (whilst listening to Kirwin and Gray). I believe McCormack is a luxury player, and someone that the team can do without, he has great feet, trickery and delivers a good cross but is not prolific enough infront of goal. Don't get me wrong, I would not want to lose him, I just don't see where he fits into the team, especially as he is unable to play on the wing.... With our dominance (again according to the radio) we were only able to get a couple of shots away at goal. The only way we were goiing to score on Saturday was from a set piece. You'd think with 30 minutes to go and absolutely nothing to lose Warnock would have introduced Diouf. One of the biggest things Diouf is good at is drawing fouls, deliver a couple of good balls in, and try to get Morison or Habibou on the end of em (big target men, Habs is 6'4). It was interesting to hear how Blackburns better known players Danny Murphy, David Bentley and DJ Campbell to a degree were the most woeful players. Even Rhodes was kept relatively quiet, and he cost as much as most of our team put together. We are set to miss out on securing Gradel's return after the player edged closer to a move to Rubin Kazan. The Ivory Coast international has impressed playing in Ligue 1 for St Etienne, prompting the Russian giants to make a move for his services, though Kuban Krasnodar have also registered an interest. Can't believe we let him go for 1.5m. I have spoken to the supermod brb. He has a way to highlight an article and boost it to their site. We can do this with the exclusive interview we have with LUST Chairman Gary Cooper, BUT we need searching questions to ask him, if there are any he does not like, I'm sure he'l tell us, so please get thinking....
Morning all Game - Good to hear we were the better team but I don't feel Morrison is a good replacement for Becchio, I too fail to understand why Warnock has a reluctance to use the subs bench. Even if it is to have a fresh pair of legs running at them for the last 20 minutes, that game sounds like it was perfect for Diouf to come on and grab a late winner. I am not a fan of Habibou and we might as well send him back from his loan now if we are not going to at least see if he is any good? Delighted with a second clean sheet in two games, I already felt promotion was out of reach and these are the type of games where you need to grab all three points (games where you dominate). If you can't win the games you dominate then what hope have you of winning promotion. Watford and Cardiff are looking far too strong and I wouldn't fancy us going through even if we made the top 6 with Leicester, Hull and Palace in the mix. Gary Cooper Interview - Searching questions, the problem is I don't believe he knows anything more than has already been said. GFH are not willing to sit round the table with LUST (at the moment at least) maybe you could ask him if he feels the recent negative press intrusion surrounding his brother is to blame for GFH not having a greater willingness to meet with them. If not then what does he believe the reason to be and is he hopeful of LUST sitting around a table with GFH one day soon?
Morning all. A good time to play the wall coming up. Keep our season going for another while with hopefully another clean sheet and maybe two or three nil win. Good to see Gary doing an interview here but to be honest,I cant imagine any new questions I havent heard him answer over and over again. Like the gfh interview at the weekend, the real meaty questions are covered by confidentiality agreements or cant be addressed in public for fear of scuppering a future deal. Always suspected Elland we basically gave Max away. Any word on what sort of transfer fee his current club is expecting? How are we going to find out if habibou or hall are any good I wonder, if we never play them?
Elland At least the russians will pay a fortune for him so we can get a sell on fee so that GFH can make some more money out of LUFC!!!!
Great, gfh will probably get that a week before flipping the club. I'm sure otherwise it'll just be used to plug next hole in finances that pops up
Morning all. I too fail to see why Warnock didn't use any of our subs. C'est La Vie. Maybe he knows best... & then again, mayb not. Donly envy Max going to Rubin Kazam if that rumour is true. A tad colder than France & Yorkshire in the winter, even if they don't play all the way through. Russia also have a problem with some of their fans being somewhere to the right of Ghengis Khan. So he might have some entertaining singing & the odd free gift as he goes charging down the wing!!! Pussycat Dolls this Saturday. Should be fun. We'll have 20k there. Who'll have the most others, the 'Wall or WYP??
Cynical is the future Lets all pretend we are good and rich have a world class manager and top top players
Max to Russia? well that puts paid to the story given by the club that he wants to go home to France. Total **** I said at the time, and he was sold because Bates wanted the cash. £5.2m unknown administration costs - just the normal siphoning of club funds to offshore accounts. GFH had 8-months to find out what is known and unknown, so serves them right, and if cash has left the club then they need to lob out Bates now as he's a robber. As far as Ross is concerned, where did he play when he scored 20-goals for us, as a striker partnering a target man. So if we want the best from him link him with Morison ffs, don't put him out wide and leave EHD on the bench. We may have kept another clean sheet and being in charge of the game because we stopped them playing, but we are not getting shots away at the target and no shots means not enough goals to win. Warnock what is our best team that will get results, instead of parking a coach in front of Kenny.
Morison linked up with the midfield and won more headers than becchio has all season on Wednesday. Not sure why hes getting a fair bit o stick
Morning again. Got my ticket for Palace. Who on here will be going? Can't help feeling that our front two should be Morison & McCormack, with Diouf playing wherever he likes in midfield, but behind the front two. So a 4-3-1-2 type of formation. Early thoughts on the Pussycat Dolls match on Saturday? Anyone know if its on TV?
Hi guys, Does anyone know how I can get two tickets in the leeds end for the palace game. I notice that you have to be a season ticket holder or member - I am neither. Do they go on general sale at any time or shall I have to sit with the palace fans singing sad all over? Thanks
Think they will probably go on general sale our away following hasn't snapped up away tickets as quickly this year
Certainly less falling over than Becchio, suppose we need to wait n see whether he gets the ball in the net preditor style....
Probably because we swapped Morrison for Becchio - One got us 19 goals and sneaked points the other hasn't so far, just a possible view on it Link up play is one thing, not scoring goals (as a team) is another.
