Quick comments about 2 players: 1) Paul Green - it appears most fans have very short term memories - the last few games he played in he was shocking. Hence the reason he has not played since? 2) MZ has been a dominating rock in the center of defense up until the Hillsborough. Now suddenly we want to throw him out. WOW!!!!
In response Paul Green has had some poor games, I can understand why he is away from the team and fans wouldn't want him back but he played well in the opening game of the season against Brighton. He also played well on a lot of occasions last season and we actually missed him when he was injured last season. He is capable and its not like Austin has had a good game in a while. Someone else deserves their chance to impress because Austin isn't doing it and I think Brown isn't capable enough, Tonge doesn't do enough defensive work and is often nowhere to be seen on the pitch. Something different needs to happen in the central midfield and maybe Green isn't the answer but we cannot continue the way we have been in that position. Austin has been horrendous. MZ was poor against Rochdale and Sheff Wed so why does he deserve to be guaranteed a spot? Yes he has played well but he deserves at least one game on the bench after that showing. As I said, one of, if not the worst performance I have seen from a CB from Zaliukas against Sheff Wed, how can that seriously give you the right to play in the next game especially when we actually have pretty good options at CB these days.
Yes Josh, but we're Leeds! So how are our midgets going to deal with our hoofball? And Poleon? Really? He may be many things, but he's certainly not the answer to the problems we have!
Josh, you want to bring back Green who was terrible the last 3 or 4 games he played? He could not make a 5 yard pass, as I recall, in those games. Sorry, just cannot agree with that. Michael Brown despite the yellow cards gives his all every game and is still sprinting in the 93rd minute. I agree give Roddy a break but not Paul Green instead. None of our multiple CB choices have bossed the air around the 6 yard area like MZ. Sure you want to bring anyone of them back for him? I think our problems at the back were on the left and right side not the center (yes I know MZ made some horrendous errors yesterday). The solution for me is Byram RB (where the heck was Peltier most of the game at SW?) and Warnock LB.
He was awful against Rochdale as well. Not arguing if he should be dropped or kept in the starting 11 just saying he was bad the last two games. Personally I would drop him against Leicester one more bad display like his last two outings and confidence will be shot and he could be finished this season
I did specifically say that I don't think Poleon is the answer and if Smith was not suspended he would play but I'd prefer to see Poleon there than Varney or Hunt. We need someone partnering Ross up front, give Poleon a go I think Marius has been fantastic (to be fair so has Pearce) but you cannot put in a performance like that and play the next game. I'm not saying drop him indefinitely but he needs a "rest" after those couple performances in a row Green has had some bad games but he has also had good games. As I said someone else deserves a chance to play because Austin has been worse these last couple games than any Green performances I can remember. These players need a kick up the arse, they can't expect to be playing every week.
I disagree with this. He was our best centre back before MZ was here, has been almost flawless this season I can understand why but I don't think Brown has been good enough when he has played, someone else deserves the chance to put in a shift for the team and show why they should still be here next season. I think Green is the one who deserves that chance. Out of interest do you think Austin should be dropped?
We can agree to disagree. Anyone else have an opinion? Yes, I think Austin needs a break. Should have had it against Rochdale as a start.
Lets face it the players are ****e, 6.0 to an equally ****e team.....2 new light weight players in, fecking depressing.
Pearce for captain. Committed and a better leader than Rudy who seems a mute on the pitch. Warnock would be a good choice if he was a starter. Need some passion back ASAP!
Not fit, **** formation probably hadn't kicked a ball with the team. He's fast as **** and has a good shot. Not to sure about Stewart, haven't seen enough of him
I thought he was slow Bucks, time will tell and I realise it was his first game but it was depressing to watch. Leicester next wa hey..........
Fair enough Bucks, not blaming him on the 6.0 defeat, just pissed off with the whole display. Thought the ref was ****e and as for the sending off what a joke. Although I don't think it would have made any difference to the scoreline.
Yes we were............. Although I still don't get the point of breaking the seats, someone on the coach back after the game had a seat as a souvenir, it was 142, my fecking seat...........
