well, a win is a win, didn't play well but winning when playing bit poor is sign of a good team. I normally rate silvestri but he was poor today but then it is hard playing when not playing all the time, also after his performance against norwich to get dropped it must be discouraging. still green is playing better so happy days. cooper has also gone down hill so hope they both leave in window as rather the money.

douk was also very under par. lovely to see mowatt (the poor mans frank lampard) play bit better good drive and nice finish and being in right place right time. Grimes must have some dirt on monk to be on loan and get any game time. nice easy and local game to me in next round so another cup run this season and i might finally get to see leeds win live. worried about defence against derby as they are playing well but think taylor bartley alring baridi might do the trick

None of the fringe players covered themselves in glory against Cambs except maybe Mowatt. I still believe the lad has the potential to blossom. To me one of his biggest weapons is his ability with his left foot. Only once on Monday did he connect but it brought out a good save from their goalie. He worked well in midfield he just needs nurturing and he will come good.

I'd have Mowatt in team before Doukara but then again I'd have anybody before him he's no better than a league 2 player, for me he's no goal threat and offers nothing he's a player where having to carry.

i agree i have always said he reminds me of a poor mans frank lampard but then a poor mans lampard can still be a very good player, good scoring record always seems to be in right place at right time, great shot and eye for a pass. I hope to see him fight way back into first team contention

I agree. He gets a lot of stick from fans, some justified some not. He seems to have been around for ages but he's still only 21. Hopefully he will get his form back and start chipping in with a few goals. That's if he gets a chance.

Mowatt is a good player but he seriously lacks pace, if he just wasnt fast it would be fine but he is really really slow. wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to bring a proper running coach in (not just a fitness coach, something more specific) , it might not add a lot, but an extra yard or two on the break adds up.

I could be completely wrong in saying this but Monk knew the circumstances with Jansson last night, and had plenty of time to make a decision on who to go with. Him and pep will have undoubtedly discussed Jansson getting another yellow causing a threat to his clause, we know that they're both clever coaches. Wonder what he may have installed as back up if anything? He may have established that situation, looking to bring in a new CB, who will cover for Jansson over the next two games, impress us all, and then give the two Barts and Pontus competition. Wishful thinking but it's Monk, he's brought us plenty of gems in the past. Thoughts?

think your looking into it a tad too much

Was at the game tonight, good result in the end! Absolutely appalled at how bad sivestri is in goal! Why can't he catch a ball? Why can't the coaches drum it in to him to catch the damn ball! Absolute liability. Even green is a flapper despite having a few really good games recently! Turnbull has got to be wondering why he's not getting a look in surely?
