Cant work out the the endless shouts for Sloth? Maybe he will turn out to be a good player but from previous he can't be guaranteed a place. And those who slag off Tonge, i'd much rather him come on with 20 mins to go away from home because at least he can keep hold of the ball. I know its a game of opinions but I wish folk would stop slagging our players. Jesus we are in the championship, what do they expect?

Not necessarily asking for Sloth to be given an automatic starting place, just a chance to see if he can cut the mustard

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with you Corkwhite, for me Tonge is no world beater but can pass and keep the ball, has done OK in games I have seen.

At the moment Pearce and Bianchi have to be dropped on form, also Adryan has got to offer more, more of the time for me.

Now I don't see the players training but for god's sake if players keep playing poor, drop them for a bit and try someone else, we cannot be much worst than at the moment.

Disagree Cork, Tonge is only useful in the last 20 minutes if we are winning the game then his passing and ball retention could be an asset. How many games have we been winning in the last 20 minutes? Not many. When chasing a game Tonge offers very little

Agree with you NottsWhite. Right now I'd drop Pearce for Bellusci when fit, Bianchi must be replaced by Sloth or Austin (for now) and Adryan needs to be dropped for Morison (no one else, Dawson too lightweight for now) - Adryan can come on for last half hour. Provided we endure no defensive calamities (asking a lot but doable with Bellusci) we could make balanced substitutions by bringing on Adryan and Doukara to have a go at teams as they tire with game stretched with Tonge coming on for ball retention if necessary. We shouldn't forget Montenegro either.

Im with you George, think ya spot on mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Montenegro could do with the chance of getting involved a bit more.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with the above 3 posts
George. that's so logical
Why the hell can't redders see it!
Change something for christsake
Its not working atm. Have a bit of vision!

Well no hiding place for anyone in next game. Don't care who Redders plays or how they play. But 3 points is a must, and there can be no excuses for anything less

Well Merry Christmas everyone. Let's be very positive going into the new year. I'll kick off - we will be in top 6 if we win our next 5 games!! (oh that's assuming the 11 teams above us lose all theirs of course)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Merry chirstmas speedy and agree 17 points from next four games santa promised as I have been a good boy most ofm the year

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks BW. I bet when you have been bad, you were VERY bad though. But I'll still be happy with the 17 points

Agree0 Disagree0

Here we go again
2 points for a win
1 for a draw
o for losing
Jeez. Its always been that

Agree0 Disagree0

Ausman. I'm surprised at you. You need to study the Aussie rule book over Christmas. You've totally forgotten or missed the Kylie Christmas bonus! Me and BW both have posters on our walls with Kylie in her Santa outfit - so we get the bonus points if we get 5 wins doh!! (we don't get Kylie unfortunately)

Agree0 Disagree0

Kylie wanted me badly once. I said. Tell me how many points u get for winning a prem game. She said 3. So I turned her down. What did I do!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Ausman. You should be so lucky (lucky lucky lucky, obviously) - stick with the missus. Better the devil you know! Wow! 3 Kylie jokes in 1 post - I'm spinning around. (make that 4!)

Agree0 Disagree0

Sad man. Take your poster down mate!

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually on closer inspection, I'm not 100% sure it isn't BW in a santa suit and not Kylie

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely bws behind isn't that good?

Agree0 Disagree0

Aussie
Even at Christmas, BW's behind is not really something I want to think about

Regarding Casper sloth . I have read an interview where he has said he is baffled by his exclusions from the team recently. He did mention the atmosphere since redders took over is weird, so I'm thinking there is some sort of personality clash, but we need our best players playing and to be honest he is surely better than tonge, he has always looked prosmising when I've seen him

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree mighty. I'd like to see him playing, as me and smitch keep posting

Agree0 Disagree0

Even as a regular from the bench would be an improvement. Must beat Wigan on Friday

We all know what that point means. Same team again for next game!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Maybe Harte, but let's be glad of the point, which was a lucky one. All we need Redders to do is to keep us in mid table this season. The mighty duo will take care of the rest (that's MC and NS for anyone in doubt)

Until the purchase of a 6ft 9in ball playing centre back is it not time to play a defender in front of the back 4 to help out with set peices and crosses. It would seem that we are still vulnerable at the back and a more accurate result would probably have been a 3-1 loss. We certainly played our get out of jail card yesterday.

Leodis

An excellent point, I completely agree with you. Saturday was the first time I’ve been able to watch Leeds play since Redfearn resumed as coach (As a pensioner these days I can only afford to see the occasional matches!) I thought last season that Austin was a headless chicken in most games but he at least stayed on position. Bianchi, on Saturday at Forest, seemed to be all over the pitch in the wrong place at the wrong time mainly duplicating midfielders and leaving the defence exposed. Opinion is that he has been off his game for the last month and comments were made that his powder-puff defending led to the only goal of the game against Fulham last week. From what I could see he was again guilty against Forest, he needs to be dropped, it’s not that we are short of players this season, Redfearn please give others their chance

Why do managers and coaches play players out of position?
I don't get sharp playing on wing today?
Dont get tonge and not sloth!
Dont get why pearce was good enough for captain 6 weeks ago and now useless?
It just seems all over the place.
We have a reasonable starting 11 but when we need quality off the bench or to change tactics or formation we are lacking in players and unfortunately coaching ability.
We are near the bottom and cellino still hasn't found the right coach to take us up!
You got to feel sorry for the guy. All these coaches can talk a good game but not deliver. i'm not sure what the answer is but, Not working for us at the moment for so many different reasons!

yes bringing morison back is again another step backward or is he just hoping

Agree0 Disagree0

Coulda brought Montenegro on for 10 mins to give him the chance to try and do something. Neil is clueless
