Lot of post on paddy Kenny on here. Many rekon he is good enough and should be kept. He doesn't command his area. Poor on crosses. Leaves too much to the defenders. Late in games as they get weary like everyone else they can't make all the clearances. They get the blame, Paddy smells of roses. Look at the amount of points dropped to high balls late in games last season. Enough to stop us getting to the play offs. Our second string keeper is much better at commanding his area. It takes the pressure off the defence. The cup results against better opposition bear this out. Kenny should go. Promote the number 2. Wages saved on PK together with a fee for him brings in another player, RW or width which we need. Then we start to convert winning positions to wins and defeats into draws. Hello premier league. BM must see this weakness as every other championship manager has judging by the amount of crosses we face late in games. A low cost way to strengthen Leeds United still further. Mot

Couldn't agree more and I do rate Ashdown but. Maybe worth investing in a young keeper who will be a regular for years to come. But your right the money to bring in a new GK could probably be used better.

To be honest we never should of let Kasper go. Not perfect by any means but very good.

To the second poster, you re right we shouldn t have let Casper go, and if the fans or Casper had any say in it I m sure he d still be here now, but unfortunately we had a moneygrabber in charge then, the team was never his priority. MOT

You can't just say he cost us points because he also saved us points when we needed them so it works both ways

I Think Casper Ankergren was a pretty good keeper. He couldn't catch, but his shot stopping was excellent.
how many keepers can say they kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford and against Rooney and Berbatov?
Though I think we should have snapped Alex McCarthy up when we had him on loan. I reckon we could of had him for a £1 million back then.

Kenny has clearly been our best gk and there is no way he will b leaving, ashdown yes and rightly so but kenny no chance, in a way I kinda hope he goes and joins another team in this division and then your see what a great gk he is, very easy to blame loses on goalkeepers but the main reason we lost a lot was our terrible defence, peltier was shocking to start with but he ended up being 1 of our best and pearce just hasn't had a good year lees is good but people turn him to easily and white well iv no idea why he's a defender as all he does is run

Etched across my mind are the many visions of Kenny flapping about under crosses and the ball in the back of our net. PK couldn't catch a cold or punch a bus ticket. Yes our defence was poor but young defenders need to have the confidence in their keeper. PK dosent give them much to be confident about. He also needs to shift that spare tyre he's carrying. Probably the reason he can't get off the ground. Mot
