    Milky, BPF has been playing long enough in first team to know score, he should've gained enough experience to know what to do and when to do it.

    Training is one thing, there's no pressure, no mental pressure and not too many decisions to make, it's fun most of time.

    A match is totally different, a professional won't have the nerves to begin with, but nerves can pop up when a team is attacking, taking corners or free kicks. BPF has been playing long enough to control those nerves, even kids playing school football overcome their nerves the more games they play.

    BPF has the agilities of any natural keeper, but he lacks focus and ability to make the right decisions and get into the right positions for attacks, corners and free kicks. Sometimes he's in right position, a lot of times he's not, sometimes he's focused, most of time he's not. He should be able to focus for the whole game, not just some of it.

    Natural keepers have natural focus, they know where their goalposts are at all times, it's a picture in their mind. A natural keeper knows where to position himself for corners, free kicks and attacks from different angles. These natural abilities sort the Gordon Bank's from the BPF's.

    Many are having a go at Kiko, blaming him for at least one of our goals, it was Coopers fault (and I like Cooper) he should've let it reach Kiko so Kiko could've cleared it, or picked it up. Kiko pointed this out to Cooper after the goal..........it's ok having a go at Kiko, it was his his first half season in Championship, thrown straight in. Euro, and other world wide keepers tend to play differently to British keepers, after all, we invented the game.

    Fans having a go at Kiko are doing so from an emotional level, they're angry, and looking for a scapegoat based on their emotional feelings.

    Do I solely blame BPF, no, we have a keeper coach who's never played keeper, or much football for that matter; that's like getting a plumber to train an electrician.

    In my opinion, BPF will not improve much unless he gets an experienced keeper coach who drills everything into him, however, if BPF has a focus problem, then it's never going to happen.

    When you look at the Derby game, we went 2-0 up on aggregate, then complacency set in, has it had in many previous second half of season games. The players instinctively thought they'd won it, or were going to win it comfortably, complacency breeds mistakes, and we started making'em not long after we scored the goal, complacency, and those mistakes allowed Derby back into game, cos they didn't become complacent, and they didn't lay down to die.

    Morning Elland. We're back down because we didn't strengthen enough in the summer pre-season. The guys who took us up last time are still here in the main though and if we can replace our 3 midfielders who've left - Gunnarsson, Arter and Camarasa - with some quality, then we have a good chance of competing this season.

    Up front is always a problem for us though - we just can't score enough and goals win games.

    As for those that we're wary of, I'd have to say you lot after Bielsa's transformation last season, and probably Sheff Wed if they don't get a points deduction. <ok>

    Well as you're in the goalkeepers union LL you're a bit biased. Imo it was the keepers fault and to back my opinion up he nearly did the same thing minutes late when himself and Philips got in a tangle. He has made a few mistakes over his short stay with us, as well as getting sent off and the cock ups at Ipswich. It's also not a coincidence that since his arrival we've not done as well.<ok>

    I actually nodded off while sat in the north stand watching while blamewell was in charge. People forget what an aid to insomniacs he was.

    Not biased Shaks, BPF should be at a level or two higher by now, he's 22 yrs old, Leeds can't wait for him to be a late developer.

    You can see for yourself how the goal happened, and see at how Phillips fails to keep the player back from ball.

    Then try to find the defenders that's suppose to be in position for 4th goal.



    Here's BPF chucking a hissy fit and attacking our players.
