I'm going to have another 10 penny worth it n the goalkeeper. Aus, I think you know my view as well from previous postings and I made the same point George had echoed about Paul Rachuba. Agree everyone can have there opinion, it's what makes the site so good. So my view, I think we would have seen enough in the goalie to buy him and I don't that no he has been crap, the worst goalie ever at Leeds or useless. I don't even think that single handedly he has lost any games, other people have slapped made mistakes that have contributed. But once goalies start to lose their own confidence or that of the defenders, it becomes a snowballing problem . Dealing with it isn't easy either, because if you take him out, you are confirming the problem perhaps adding to it and you have to be prepared to give the next keeper a real run in the team. I honestly think that the best person to handle that and make the right decision is TC with the coaching team and no doubt with the input of senior defenders who will also know if there is a real problem. Green got loads of criticism at first as did the cat and Schmeichel. A player can go through a bad spell without being crashed or the worst in the world. I hope the guy learns and improves and turns out to be a great goalkeeper for the club, better for everyone!

Apologies for some of the autocorrect errors, difficult to spot all of them on the mobile.

I hope for the same Spanish and will be over the moon if it happens, but i just cannot see it happening. He worried me before we bought him, but i will qualify that with football, whilst enthusiastic, I am clueless. On another note, I am slightly apprehensive with Sheffield U and Bristol C both looming on the near horizon whilst in good form. May give an indication of how quick we are learning.

Spanish, you keep referencing Rachubka to make your point but he was crap and played in 3 games, never to be seen again. By your logic even Rachubka should have got more games because he may have turned it around. I was there for the Blackpool game and can assure you there was no coming back. Wieldwald needs to change his style of goalkeeping because it puts pressure on the back four. I am not sure he can but I live in hope.

Tc needs to drop wield. Once dropped he will never return. Interesting how tc saw how much extra pressure brid put on a good defence but can't see how nervy wield makes them. He will cost us points. He is a liability. I don't care if dropping him hurts or damages his confidence. I want a good goalkeeper

A brief update for fans of Paul Rachuba, now playing for Kerala Blasters in the Indian League. Just goes to show, there's always work out there somewhere. I think if Lonners is s going to come back, do it now and get ready for it during the international break. Gives the defence a chance to start afresh. It will be an interesting squad and team for Reading. The important thing is we get a win and start to get the confidence back. A good test for TC.

There's a class keeper keeping the bench warm at the dog botherers. I think his name Green?

I don't personally think Felix is good enough, this is only my opinion and as a fan hoped I would be proven wrong as I want us as a team to do well. It doesn't please me to see anyone playing for us failing. Someone in the Leeds set-up obviously saw something in him as a keeper and they are more qualified than me to judge. There must come a time when TC is prepared to drop Felix for the good of the team unless he feels he is the only keeper that can play to the style of football he wants.

For me he dose not full me with confidenced, I don’t see that in him at the moment, a keeper should control his box which will also help the back four, if they don’t know what he’s going to do mistakes will happen as has, we should have kept Green but he’s gone, Lonners not sure about him eather but what have we got to go with, perhaps in Transfer window a new keeper should be on the list. (long with others)

Agree Alf, Felix definitely not the usual type of German goalkeeper. Sadly no style and very little substance.

I know it's all hyperthetical but can't understand why we never tried harder to sign David Stockdale during the summer. A Leeds lad and did well with Brighton, found it strange he ended up at Birmingham as he hinted he wanted to come to Leeds.
