Match Day Thread Leeds v Port Vale Match thread

remember that striker we got from Wimbledon and you all took the Wombles piss

quality in the making

 

He's Leeds 3rd team,just shows how good we are.

 

He walked away from you so knew he had the guzzles

 

guzzles ? He's central league/ league 2 standard,same as your other strikers,no use to us,but will find his level with you guys.

 

I think he will be premier league quality too

 

More chance of me playing in the premier league.Just another duel use player for you guys,being a Womble,will probably be good at cleaning the ground up after matches.

 

Oddly enough, I noticed that & commented on it at the match. Then they switched wings, and it was Roofe who wasn't getting the support. I have to admit to unfairly criticising Alioski for this early on, as I would not, & will not, accept any criticism of Berra. So speaks a foolish old man

 

My team for tonight:

Green

Anita
Shaughnessy
Cooper
Borthwick Jackson

Bridcutt
Vieira

Sacko
Saiz
Dallas

Ekuban

I'd make sure Klitch and Doukara get a run out if possible.

 

and 10 years apparently.....

 

Duke's history isn't he as he would be behind Wood, Ekubhan, Saiz (He can play up front too)

 

Don't count him out yet,only wood proven up to now.

 

Everytime I watch Duke he makes an arse of himself either falling over, passing to opposition, bad ball control. Wayward slashes. He can however connect sometimes and do all those things right as well as score the odd goal. His goals to game ration is shocking, yet most of his game time is spent on the flank under Monk

 

Berardi is not best on left, he's fine defending but less sure about going forward. Not sure I know why Alioski seems less supported - could be midfield support too. And Alioski himself - I did think a couple of times v Bolton, 'why has he gone there?' - might be Alioski is still working out how to gel with rest of team

 

I think your last phrase hits the nail on the head. I can't wait until he's fully up & running. There's an outside chance he might play tonight if they want him to develop a relationship on the left with BJ. i hadn't really thought of that until you mentioned this.

 

Think with Duke,fans seem to like him or hate him,there seems no in between,myself I like him,I think he seems to bring something non of the others so far do,not an out an out striker,but does create lots on a good day.

 

Same here, like the look of him. No idea whatbTC has in mind (he's not returning my calls ) but from the brief bits of video I've seen BJ looks very comfortable and tricky attacking and just have a feeling he and Alioski might work well if they are given a chance to

 

You on the sherry??

 

You could be right as I aint seen enough of him, hes a powerful unit with a bit of pace & will,scare defenders if he runs at them. He may have a place in certain games when we need to play a certain way, so will not be upset if he stays

 

cheeky sod,take it you're in the hate camp then.

 

Berardi is quality but when he plays LB he needs to keep checking back onto his right foot.
