Morning Folks, Got into the office late this Morning arrgghhhhhhhhhhh...... Who should start for us on Sunday? Should it be Kenny, or should it be Ashdown. Kenny is probably a better keeper, but he does make mistakes!!! Ashdown has not really let us down this season. Thoughts? Look at our midfield we have : Green Austin Varney Brown Norris Tonge Thompson Hall This does not include Byram, Pugh or White who can also play in midfield. Does anyone have any idea, who our strongest midfield actually is? Will Tonge ever get a game? Will Colin EVER sign a wide man? Who from this list are the weakest and we should discard? Look at our forwards!!! Poleon Diouf McCormack Morioson Habibou Somma Realistically, big nose is only gonna play two of those players during a match, maybe bring one on as a substitute. Should Somma start to pack his bags? Will Poleon be a regular next season? Will McCormack be the next to be snapped by up the likes of Norwich?
We are dessy for a wide man, but we have one in Hall, but he never gets a chance - so why did we buy him and I don't get the bit about him being a future prospect. We don't have time for looking at the future with players, or indeed the cash, so if we buy a player it should be because he's good enough to play. He's no young kid and there are much younger players who are in the prem, so how can Hall be seen as a prospect. He's either a bad buy and waste of money, or he's ****. Give him a go Neil and see if he can do it. Somma is goosed again and back on the treatment table, so be lucky if he ever gets his form back and probably needs to go out on loan as soon as he's near fit again. We get rid of young Ross, even though he was the best player we had ..... because he wasn't guaranteed a game??? So who have you got in mind Neil, because carrying on with players who are not creative enough is wrong, especially when everyone seems to be STILL playing outside their own positions. Ross Mac is interesting. The season before last he bangs in 20-goals and club top scorer and into the Scotland squad, competing for a place with Jordan Rhodes. This season he gets an injury, but since coming back is hardly used, which is very strange, and when he does play its usually out wide. For a manager to leave out a prolific striker, he has to be either mad or bad. So what next for Ross, when 2 new strikers are brought in, and 2 who don't score loads of goals, plus another striker in Somma, who hasn't proved himself at this level yet. I find it whacky, and I guess Ross does too, so can see him going elsewhere in the summer. Warnock you're coming across as being a nob who doesn't know what he's doing anymore, which is great for us fans, as we don't know what the ****s happening off the field with GFH or on the field with you. The only constant at ER these days is the long suffering fans
Morning - Personally I believe our season is over and just as I did this time last season, I don't really care who starts. If we had a decent manager who knew what he was doing I would have liked to have given the likes of Poleon a bit of game time, not that we have a chance of that with him out on loan. If Brown starts he will be made to look a fool and probably earn himself an early card. Maybe play Habibou for the full 90 to prove he isn't worth signing come the end of his loan deal, damn do I find myself in a negative mood towards the manager and board at the moment.... Agree with the Hall comments Doc - One for the future says NW, isn't he 25 later this year? EDIT - Was 25 in January
Morning Elland. Ashdown does'nt let us down. You must have forgotten the Chelsea game. Choice of forwards will be limited. Somma injured again. Is Morison cup tied. Poleon gone on loan. Not bothered who Colin signs now. Just want this season over asap, 3 wins to keep us up and proper new owners, thats my wish list.
Morning all. I'd start with Ashdown. I'd also be tempted to play Green or an other at RB allowing Byram free reign on the right. Brown might play DM, but should perhaps be given a rest. I would like Hall to play somewhere just for game time & to show what he can do. But then again, I'd like to see White in the side for the same reason, that & he's got pace to burn. Up front & assuming Morison isn't cuptied, I'd have Diouf & McCormack with Morison on the bench. Don't care much about the result so long as we give them a game & don't get embarassed. Tuesday's game against Blackpool is way more important, even if our league campaign is all but over.
I was really excited when we signed Austin, but extremely disappointed with his loose play, and given away dangerous free kicks all the time, and can't see him keeping his place in the squad, let alone the starting XI. Pelts seems as competant at centre back then he is at right back. I, too would like to see Byram boost our feeble midfield. Why has Tonge suddenly gone off our radar?
Leeds United boss Neil Warnock has conceded that a play-off spot is now unlikely. Leeds have picked up just one point from their last three games and are now eight points off a play-off spot with just fifteen games remaining and whilst he says they will still go out to try and win every game, realistically he thinks they haven`t got much chance. Speaking on Yorkshire Radio, Warnock said, "Realistically we haven`t got much chance of getting in the play-offs. We have just got to try and win every game, that is the criteria for the rest of the season." The whites are currently eleventh in the championship and as well as being eight points off the play-off places, they are only eight points above the relegation places. Leeds have the weekend of from the championship as they travel to Premier League champions Manchester City in the FA Cup on Sunday. They are back in league action on Wednesday night when they welcome Blackpool to Elland Road. Leeds then travel to Blackburn Rovers who have found their form since the arrival of Michael Appleton recently. Read more: http://www.leeds.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=309329#ixzz2KyvjqYDx
"Blackburn Rovers who have found their form since the arrival of Michael Appleton recently." Just shows what can happen when you get a new manager in.
