team, as a whole, played a little better today so will still reserve judgement. Will start to worry if we enter Sept showing 6 points from 6 games

Turnbull in for Saturday. Silvestri has not improved in 12 months. If he can't command his area or catch a ball, he is only half a keeper and not good enough.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Aug 2015 00:08:36
Wasn't there and couldn't listen to commentary, but I'm reading at least one if not both goals had him flapping around, as per usual.
Like Silvestri , but would feel more confident with Turnbull in goal atm

Agree scoops. Turnbal better option. Said so last week
Silv seems to be getting worse somehow?

He did pull off several saves, as we were under the kosh quite a bit, but still he has the tendency to drop a clanger every game. There is no way we should let a 2-0 lead slip in the last few minutes, but listening to it last night you knew it was coming. Still unbeaten, but anything less than a win on Saturday, then all the glass half full people will start to turn. On a plus side the first hour the 4-4-2 was working well, something to build on.

Knew people would come round silvestre is an acrobatic keeper good at that side but turnbull is a no nonsense keeper who stops danger before it happens ie simple catching only leeds could get 6 mins added on cottrell is fergie in fancy dress

19 Aug 2015 22:44:08
Got to be wrong sometime.
The problem is we just aren't good enough are we.
So like I predicted last week it's 3 points from 3 games.
Think the season starts property in the next game.
Just my humble opinion.
Bring it on.

Can't see a game out from 2 nil up and minutes to go. Time to get Joey Barton. You can't blame Rossler but Bamba for me can't be doing his job.

19 Aug 2015 21:54:47
Am I just tactically inept or.when you are beating a team who're getting very little sight of goal is it wise to change tact and sit back and defend? I've never understood that and tonight proves exactly why! I'm sat listening to LUTV in Saudi Arabia and have gone in ten minutes from massively optimistic for the season to as ever not pleased! The one positive I would take is that the Wood / Antenucci combo appears to be the attacking 'foil' we have missed thus far

Do whatever to defend your advantage. Row z. Hoof ball. Clinical fouls?

Don't think it matters who the coach is, end of the day we have to many players who are not good enough. Those who are,are to busy trying cover up the weak players, and that is why at the closing stage of the game it falls apart.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2015 21:50:01
Surely Sylvestri has to be dropped after that aberration. Turnbull is a better all round keeper. Also Bellusci does not instiil confidence as a central defender. Wootton has to go too I'm afraid. We have to be a strong at the back and currently we are not.

Surely Beradi must have a slight niggle or something. I hope he has because if not I am seriously starting to question Roslers judgement.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

19 Aug 2015 19:46:23
Disagree. Even if no niggle, we have another fixture soon. Right backs need rest and if you can't play Wooton against Bristol who can you put him in against? Rosler wants to see him perform in RB position as opposed to being in midfield which was most silly. Berardi can always return for the Wendies. I applaud the decision.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2015 20:48:34
Don't agree with this rest business, professional athletes should be able to play 2 games a week every week, you adjust training to suit this.

How is this for a "SHOCKING" pre match story.

Was at the gym at lunchtime (often go, well those new Leeds shirts are tiny) and I saw a guy wearing a Leeds top (last years home strip). Now as this is in Halifax I don't see this very often ( I mean Leeds fans in a gym?), so I broke my "no speaking to anyone when working out" rule and said the following:

Reckon we will get our first win tonight, 2-1 I reckon what do you think?

There was an uncomfortable silence of a few seconds (seemed hours mind), like he didn't understand the question, then this eastern European voice says (and this will shock you)

"It is only a t-shirt, I just wear it, I don't know what it means!"

I would not mind but it was the proper replica top, how can he not know?? I have to be honest I just felt sad for him and walked off could not think of anything to say.

Anyway do fancy us tonight for a 2-1, can't be at elland Rd watching but I have a little fear for Saturday when I will be there as that Wendies game may be tricky.

We should win tonight, maybe 2-0 hopefully. Where have they got 8m for Gray from. I think its risky paying that much for anyone in this division. I like Gray but is he really an 8m player suddenly? I think they are on dodgy ground especially if its an all eggs in one basket scenario.

For what its worth and not seeing them on the training pitch my team for tonight:

Silvestre

Beradi Bamba Cooper Taylor
Belusci Adeyemi
Byram Murphy/Mowatt Dallas
Wood/antenucci

Wood and Murphy probably to start with Antenucci and Mowatt coming on later. Phillips to shore up any midfield area not performing after an hour or so. Might give the CH some protection and allow some forward movement with safeguards.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Aug 2015 11:15:43
Why bellusci in midfield when we have plenty of midfielders!
Thought cooper was a liability?
Please start with ant and wood and maybe rest Dallas and start with kal
Something different from uwe tonight please.
We should be winning this one quite comfortably!

Ausman, guess someone did hack into your account. Good post from Down Under or wherever the hacker may be.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2015 13:32:35
Agree with the Ausman but maybe drop Mowatt and let Dallas and Kal play attacking midfield Byram can always drop back if needed. Bring Mowatt on seceond half

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2015 13:43:58
Assuming everyone is fit enough then -

Silvestri
Berardi, Bamba, Belusci, Taylor
Adeyemi, Murphy, Mowatt
Byram, Wood, Dallas

We need to try to keep a settled team. That said Rosler has suggested Mowatt needs a rest, if so Philips in for him. Antenucci starting if Dallas is struggling would also make sense but since he has told Rosler he doesn't want to play out wide anymore we could also move Taylor forward and play Cooper at left back or Berardi with Wootton at right back.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2015 14:50:53
Belusci in mid field because although we have mid fielder non to do that particular job. Not keen on Cooper, as you say, but if he is going to get a chance to sort himself out then two mid fielders in front of him, like Belusci and Adeyemi, would give him some protection and he could grow in confidence. As Rosler says Phillips is for the future and therfore a subs. position for him to gradually build up into the team would be beneficial. Adeyemi I believe has a reputation for being box to box and could get forward on occasion with Belusci covering.Belusci is comfortable on the ball can tackle and can pass better than most. Cook is suspended, Murphy and Dallas are still not match fit and Mowatt is described as 'Leggy' Sloth wants out. So keeping the the formation generally the same, but not quite the original team suggested ticks most of the boxes. With the squad we have and 'leggy' players my suggestion could work quite well - giving defensive stability and options going forward. If it had to be Belusci or Cooper at the back it would have to be Belusci every time at the moment if fit.In that scenario ie Cooper dropping out and Belusci filling the CH role, I don't know with the midfielders available who else would provide enough presence to give anything more going forward.(See Reading game) Defensively/ controlling midfield maybe but no cutting edge.Free up Dallas, Murphy, and Byram, and give opportunities for others (Adeyemi and full backs) to join up in attack and Wood/Antennucci just might get better service and more goals.
