i aren’t desperate to slag him, he tries hard for the shirt and I respect that. If you think he’s fine then you’re lost imo. So let me get it right, we can’t criticise a single player, we need to give them all new deals and stick by them yet we are still… 16th. If we want to go up we simply need better, there’s no emotion in this for me I don’t have it out for anyone, I just see someone who isn’t good enough to take us where we need to be.

friends from work that I’ve taken to games who support leeds of all people (actual wessies so marginally better) even said to me after Blackburn unprompted “no idea how Coyle still plays for you, need a new back line if you want to challenge” there’s something missing, playing within limitations to appear solid and having the ability to turn us into challengers is all I’m alluding to.

new CB/LB x 2/RB for me

We've conceded 0.9 goals a game since the manager came in. Puts us top 4 defensively yet according to you we need a new back 4.

Says it all really.
 
The only players I’d be keeping from the current squad are

Darlow
Macca
Greaves
Christie
Seri
Tufan
Slater
Traore
Oscar
Tetteh

The rest we should be trying to move on and replace with a better standard. Excluding the young’uns Simons, Vaughan etc.
 
For me now is the time to put him in and give him one last chance. There is a player in there somewhere, just not sure he was suited to the pressure playing out from the back brought when first tried.
If nothing else he looks like a centre back should although I except that's not really good enough grounds to keep him!
He was the best thing ever when he was demolishing advertising boards in pre-season Turkey but I think we need more from a CB than blood and thunder. I don't think he's technically good enough, that's all. He'll do well in L1 or L2.

It's nuts you'd get rid of Jones. Been a rock.

If only we had a player who could score .10 of a goal more than we concede just think how high up the table we would have been.

If you extrapolate Rosenior's points per game average over the 42 games played so far then it puts us 6th on 63 points.

Under Roseniors 24 games in charge we've been in playoff form yet we have a **** squad, **** defence, **** attack and can't play out from the back and need to get rid of half the squad to compete at the level we've been competing at statistically for the last 24 games.

That's how ****ing ridiculous city fans are sometimes.

there’s so much more to it then that, understand the view point but it’s come at complete sacrifice to any sort of attacking play or flow. Our entire game is based off playing from the back to open up the opposition, if you think Coyle and Jones are up to it in possession of the football then I’m at a loss. we are reasonably solid, we get lucky and have had some mega displays from both keepers but the reality is we play well within our limits and build very slowly from the back. We need better ball playing defenders who can help us control the game and get on the front foot. As pure defenders Coyle and Jones aren’t terrible squad players, Coyle goes missing for me way more then jones but the improvements lie with the ability on the football, for me it isn’t good enough.

It's come at the rate of 1.51 points per game which puts us around 6th in the table.

It ain't luck after over half a season worth of games.

Maybe, just maybe we're actually better than you think we are?

I find it strange he hasn't had much of a look in for a long time. I wonder if he is sulking
