I think some people see all the negatives in Wood, he is doing the job the gaffer asks of him, difficult when you are on your own and the service is often poor. Give him some slack.

Well said Bronte. The lad doing OK. Bang out of luck in front of goal though.

The main reason you buy a striker is to score goals? the next reason would be to link play. Hold up play, bring team mates into the game? If tall, win headers?
So far Wood does not fulfill the job spec. if he is not scoring the only way he can justify selection is with an outstanding amount of assists and as that does not seem to be the case I return to my main reason and say that 3mil is an awful big outlay for a non striking striker. To all those who defend by saying "he gets in the positions" the law of averages says a headless chicken would also manage that feat. The bottom line is that he is supposed to score goals.
I can have a rant but have no control over team selection so I hope that Evans sees something I cannot and we are really looking at a 20 plus goal machine going through"a barren spell". What do you think?

{Ed003's Note - I listened to the game today on the radio from the bright side of the Pennines( ;-) ) the posters who have been around a long time know I'm certainly not a PNE fan anyway the feeling from the commentators was Leeds players didn't have a clue what to do when they went 4-4-2 (???) they also said Dallas was the best player on the park and was less than complimentary about the touchline antics of Evans and Raynor.}

Great so you were in Yorkshire Ed.

Hard for wood at times, he has missed a few good chances but if we had runners from midfield getting into box would give him a bit more space. Hard to register an assist if no one there. Still don't think he's worth the money we paid mind.

The fact is woods can't seem to head the ball into a big net.
And when you are 6'3 and you're a striker. well
Its also a shame that Erwin hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip either.
A bit like nicky ajose who is having a fair crack of the whip now at swindon town and has scored 10 goals so far . so that's another good player given away!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2015 22:03:09
10 goals so far he must be amazing. 3 more than Wood in a lower division. We totally screwed up in letting the prolific Ajose go!

A day all about colour.

1. We were off colour especially second half but you got to hand it to Marco who has improved and our defense who are putting in effort.

2. Preston player saw red.

3. Browne scored for us!

4. Preston racked up many yellows.

5. Today is 30th anniversary of movie Color Purple.

6. Since this site turned purple we done rather well.

7. UP THE WHITES!

{Ed001's Note - so you don't think I should get the purple taken off the site then?}

20 Dec 2015 17:42:04
Ed001, that all depends on whether you prefer to sleep with one eye open.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't have a choice on that matter, my sister in law (to be) has been trying to assasinate me for months now. From poisoning my food, to placing traps everywhere I go.}

20 Dec 2015 17:51:59
Ed001, sounds like we have things in common. Regarding your FSIL, is it an eye for an eye with you or are you merely turning the other cheek?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - considering her sister is half dragon, I am turning the other cheek, not because I am scared of her you understand, just because it might upset the missus......}

Mmmmmm suppose it, s a win but the stats make poor reading 2 shots on target at home against 10 men for 60 mins it, s just not promotion material I mean Preston had more shots on target playing with less men so come on I think some shooting practice is sorely needed, but will still take 3 points and smile ( just )

Totally lucky result from another poor home performance.

Preston who?

FFS.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Dec 2015 17:31:51
Well thankfully Crofton promotion is decided on points achieved not shots on target. I think we would all have happily taken 3 points and a poor performance before the game started, though it would have been nice to score a bag full.
5 points off a playoff place and 11 points from a relegation place seemed very unlikely a couple of weeks ago.
It's a Merry WHITE christmas to everyone :)

Agree speedy it is all about the points at the end of the day and last 4 games have gone well points wise, I would take a 1-0 win at Forrest and Derby no probs even if we out-played by them.

Merry Xmas all us whites fans out there.

Good Sides win games when don't play well Fellas! They had 2 games in 3 days, they fought and came through. Take the positives.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Dec 2015 17:02:27
will take the 3 points but 1-0 against 10 men by an own goal doesn't fill me with confidence. What is it with our form at home? Why is wood still playing when he is so wasteful in front of goal?

Believable1 Unbelievable2

20 Dec 2015 17:36:57
Com on guys, let's be honest if we had all been asked this time last week most of us would have said we would take 2points from 2 games. but NO we have 6,and it may have been sloppy today but it's back to back wins FFS?

20 Dec 2015 17:49:39
We are still winning so I wouldn't change wood.

Just been reading that villa, Everton and Sunderland are the teams who want byram. now if he went to Everton then fair enough. good solid premier team knocking on the European door, the move could be used as a stepping stone to bigger things. however villa and Sunderland the two teams who will be playing us next season (as long as we stay up) really. let's face it the way they are going they wouldn't go back up automatically the next season. so my point is if he went to either of those it is clearly for a couple of extra £, nothing more, nothing less!

well todat is make or brake . on paper we are a far better team . but can we now play two good games . so many times one good half the other like another team out there. so let's get it right we should win and we should continue to improve . tighter at the back . got to be 3-0 4-0 . keep a clean . so heads up and run them into the ground . go leeds.
