    Redfearn has hinted that Adryan will be named on the bench again tomorrow, claiming the “penny is starting to drop”.

    Redfearn praised Adryan for “putting in the hard yards” and said he recalled the 20-year-old to his 18-man squad against Millwall “on merit” last weekend after an improved effort in training.

    “He’s worked hard in training, he’s applied himself much better and I think the penny’s starting to drop.

    “Allied to the obvious ability he’s got, he’s putting a shift in and that’s all you’re asking.”

    Doukara also drifted from Redfearn’s plans last month but United’s head coach said: “He’s looked brighter in training too.

    “If they’re prepared to put a shift in, they’ll get a chance.”


    So, Adryan and Doukara may get their chance, but what about Cooper.

    Our 23 yo Captain is fit again.

    Should he go straight back in the team, if so, who should make way for him?

    Should Cooper get his Captains armband back from Bamba?

    Could Leeds make it work playing Bellusci, Bamba and Cooper in the same team?

    Is Wootton competent at right back?


    For the Boro game, should we keep the same team?

    Morning Ellland and all. I don't see any reason to change a winning team but as I've now moved from plastic status to armchair status what do I know. On Adryan, it won't look good for him if he can't break into the team now there is no pressure on the players. Do we now lend a little support to the poor Wallies for the remainder of their last championship campaign now we are out of sight as usual

    Morning Elland. Whilst 3CBs does hhave some advantage, I''d rather keep the 451/4231 appeoach. Good to see Adryan might play some some part. We'll forceneed his skills rather than just Bambba's brute

    Morning Eire,
    Poor Wallies are in free fall.

    We should all chip in, and get them a parashoot!

    Morning Boggers, hope your health has improved pal,
    I like Adryan. We majorly lack creativity.

    Good morning Matt from a sunny Bardsey
    I am recovering from having too many glasses of vino last night so if I wrote something silly which according to Ristac I normally do please accept my sincere apologise
    I see that one player we talked about bringing to the club as he was a wide boy Chris Eagles has flown into Charlton so thats one thats got away
    You all know what I think about Cooper for me Bamba and Cooper should be the pairing but I would leave the armband with Bamba
    Wooton is not a full back so its just a make shift role for him until we get some wide players
    Stilol dont think Millwall will go down Charlton for me along with Blackpool and Wigan I still wouldn't be surprised if Jewel isn't offered is old job back at Wigan along with Chris Hutchings must have read it in some papaer eh!

    Morning folks, can I echo Ells sentiments to Boggers.

    I find just about all of Redders press statements akin the sort of managing by number stuff you get when playing football manager. To publicly tell the show pony that if he is a good boy and does as he is told he will get some "sweeties" is all a bit too contrived. If he ain't ready now, he won't ever be, and will be sent back in May. I don't understand why he ain't gone already.

    Not going tomorrow as the Mrs ain't too well, but will tootle to wigan on 7/3. Looking forward to starting new job next week.<wah>

    Morning Mike,
    Football is all about opinions...

    I would think we'll wait for the Summer til we get another right back in. At least we have a decent left back.

    I think Blackpool and Wigan are as good as down. The last place, you never know, may go down to the last same of the season again

    Nothing wrong with Berardi at RB, he does a good job and has very few goals scored from down his side.

    I think Adryan will be here next season and Redders won't.

    Redders told the media Adryan has been doing well in training, like he always has, and may get his chance; wouldn't have anything to do with Cook being banned would it? would he have said it if Cook had not been banned?

    With 15 games still to go I'm not going to say who stays up and who'll go down, still too early. Anything can happen in 15 games, same for the top 6 too, even we're not out of woods yet.

    Morning all,

    Change the defence after another clean sheet? I think winners should retain their place in the team until we're forced into a replacement.

    No chance! Cooper may be better than Bellusci, then again, he may not.

    Make no mistake - Wootton is a competent defensive RB, as is Berardi. We can't compare them to Byram as his strength was in attack mode. The closest I've seen to Byram is our Development squad captain, Lewie Coyle, and I'd like to see him broken in once we're safe - just hope that doesn't mean pre-season! :D

    Morning Elland, 60 & Glory. Thanks for your good wishes. They've ruled out everything from Berri berri & and.bilharzia to man flu. But still need a stick to get by. So not too bad.

    On changes to the back 4, I'd leave things as they are, although a CB pairing of Cooper and Bamba fills me with a bit more confidence than Bellusci & anyone.

    Are you in a private hospital scheme maybe you should ask to see a specialist Boggers.I can recommend Simply Health I pay for myself and my good lady£ 21 a month which knowing my track record is for nothing this entitles me to see a specialist of my choice and they pay 75% of the bill worth thinking about I sent WJ details a few weeks ago .I can only speak well of this company .I take Moe for op or to see specialist I get£15 towards the petrol cost .
    I have my feet done I get 75% of the bill it really is that good used to be called Leeds Hospital fund
    Hope this helps Boggers and finally I have found the thing that has helpped me most getting over my various illnesses is to tell yourself in my case I havent got it or else I will beat you
    Hope this helps
    Mike

    Do you have some sort of personal vendetta against Cook and the other youth/British players? Not having a go or anything, we'll all entitled to our opinions, but you seem very pro-Cellino signings and anti everyone else.
    From what I've seen, Berardi isn't a bad player but he's far too reckless - two red cards in fourteen games borders on stupidity. Wootton isn't a natural RB and doesn't offer all that much going forward, but he's competent defensively and is playing well, so I see absolutely no reason to change it.
    As for Adryan, what is it that everyone sees in him? I don't doubt for a second that the boy is talented, but he very rarely affects the game. The occasional fancy flick and run forwards before losing possession doesn't make you a very good player. Austin's capable of doing that for christ's sake. If he was an English academy product, I get the impression the majority would view him in the same way we view Aidy White - he runs a round a lot with no end product. But because he's Brazilian and a Cellino signing, he must be a world beater.

    Again, hope this doesn't come across as a personal attack or anything, you just seem the most vocal supporter of Cellino signings on here <laugh>
