    Morning all <ok>

    I think we need a longer run of Bellusci / Cooper at CB before we can really start saying Pearce was 100% the weak link. Not enough data to compare now, one week to the next our team can have these kinds of swings regardless of who is on the field <doh>

    I'd also like to know what the situation is with Montenegro and Del Fabro. We are not in a position to be signing people purely for the future at the minute, anyone who came in that door over the summer should have something to offer the first team even if its just in a backup / rotation position. That we haven't seen a single appearance in four months from Del Fabro and 2 cameo substitute appearances from Montenegro says that isn't the case with this pair. As we are staring down the barrel of a transfer embargo, we should seriously be considering their worth.

    Don't forget Casper Sloth as he's wanting to know why Redders used him in every game when he was caretaker, and not used him once since he got the job?

    60 and Glory your little spat only proves one thing: statistics can be used to back up both arguments, its just how you interpret them. Its like Cameron and Milliband ffs using the same stats to back up their own point

    We're better to watch, have more potential than in recent seasons and have some exciting players. Given the choice I'd rather have Antenucci in the side than child abandoning fly tipper, but then again I'd rather we had Stuart Taylor in goal than Silvestri, who inspires no confidence whatsoever.

    The problems are the midfield doesn't close down or defend, and the defence is overworked and inevitably leaks goals, so in that respect nothing's changed. The usual problem still exists in that there are no leaders in the squad, no commanding figures who can change the course of the game.

    So all in all we're still useless, but we've got more potential than in recent years to improve, and at least we're trying to play decent football.

    See, I had completely forgotten about Sloth! He has to be hopefully of at least getting some time if we are talking about moving out Norris and Murphy in January then. That leaves him and Austin as the two on the fringe, right?

    Do you realise if Redders had been in charge for the other 10 games and achieved what he has with his 10 games we would be 4 in the league so lets stop worry shall we would now have 34 points and we only played we Chippy about relegation and start looking up Watford and Brentford were tghe only 2 we played under Darko and Dave

    If Redders had been in charge from the start, he would have lasted the same amount of time as your other non-league failure <ok>

    The same reason he will be sacked by March. Because Celllino can't be seen to be wrong. Ergo it must be the coaches fault the diamond formation don't work and we get overun week after week. Not sure MC picks the team but he sure as hell dictates the formation and tactics.

    I'll be disappointed if we don't finish in the top six come May

    Are you taking skip loads of class A?
    I fear your weekend is going to be a rude awakening.

    Hopefully that is equally as unlikely.

    There's a cunning plan.

    Chesh will tell you about it.

    It involves going on an unprecedented 18 match winning spree

    Nothing there we didn't already know. If Leeds were anything except a football club, they be long closed down
