Is it just me or are there fickle people on here. Portus has been great before and after he signed and yet some are likening him to Bamba after he signed, ie went off the boil. For me he wears a magic hat and I don't believe we would be where we are today without him. The four at the back for me are Ayling and Baradi Janson and Kyle Bartley. Charlie Taylor although good hasn't signed hasn't committed to Leeds and for that reason and the fact the four mentioned are awesome should warm the bench. Thought's guys. MOT

Hi Dougie, There's fickle people everywhere, not just on here buddy. However, I must admit I agree with you about this. Pontus was dropped and I don't think it had much to do with him or any 'attitude'. He tweeted about the togetherness of the team before he shot off for international duty. Why do that if you're p*ssed off with everyone? Even the mighty Pontus is allowed a bad day or two. He's not a machine (although pretty close) !

Agree. Simple as . Nothing against Charlie at all, but he's decided he's going long ago and the others have more than deserved their places

Agree Pontus has give his all in every game and it is fickle to say we are better off without him, ie play Ayling at CB. Taylor not sure about, have a sneaky feeling if we go up we may keep him. And no doubt he is class left back so would keep playing him.

The four at the back should be the four in form. Pontus ain't and he has been average since signing. Not fickle. Fact Thoughts guys?

Well put Dougie. Pontus has a couple of below par games and he is criticised for not trying. What utter nonsense. A below par game for Pontus is far better than the dross we have had to endure in our centre defence for the past few years. Criticism comes from the same people who will have watched the game on TV on Saturday and felt that Cooper is the way forward but forget that if not for Green he would have scored an own goal.

Spot on Dougie. Pontus has reinvigorated our club almost single handedly, there's no doubt in my mind we'd be mid table without him. It's not just the performances but how he's lifted the whole club and with it turned ER into a fortress. Some fans need to get a grip.

Agree Notts we were all over the place defensively on Saturday. Murray was left free to have a shot on goal about 4 times. If it weren't for two outstanding Green saves we probably would've lost that. We got away with it, but probably won't next time.

Aus I know we all see things differently but for me as I said earlier Janson has inspired our team to try and win every ball. He is what I call a true leader on the pitch, maybe his ergo has got big but we are all like that when things are going good. Cooper I feel gives his all for the club which is all you can ask, but a little off the pace when you compare the two.

Agree, hopefully some of Garry's time is being spent searching out a good, strong, ball playing CB so that we cannot (possibly) be held to ransome by a player. Either you play 100% for the team (every game) or you are benched. Simple as. Right now Pontus is part of the rock I just cannot see that with Cooper. Right now we do not have a replacement that can do a reliable job without giving each fan a heartattack.

PJ has got to be in the team for me if he is fit unless for a tactical reason he needs to be left out. Monk's job is all about man management and if he needed to drop PJ for a tactical reason or to teach him a lesson about how the team comes first then fair enough and I'm sure it will be for the benefit of the team and the individual in the end. Hopefully PJ will be back, raring to go and back to his brilliant best in the next game.

Has he actually signed, or just agreed to sign? now there is a question.
