Leeds United, cheating chokers that won't get promoted, nothing to worry about for the tricky trees, thus spoke the very special Kenny Burns. Wonder what he's going to say about Burton Albion tonight, snigger snigger, and just for the record, no team that's played Leeds this season have won their next game.

Interesting Al.

AL is that the same Kenny Burns who cheated with a head butt, oh yes, if the cap fits wear it.

Same kenny burns that signed for Leeds just for the money and pretended to be a footballer?

Headbutts are legal aren't they? And punching too unless you wear a white top with a leeds badge on it.

Kenny Burns views are of no interest to any of us whatsoever.

Did you know some Brentford fan has started a petition for Leeds to be docked points for"cheating" against the florists? I mean, wtf are these people on?

If Forest and Brentford fans think they have been hard done to, they should watch the 1973 Cup Winners and 1975 European Cup Finals and they would know what real injustice is.

And what game did arsenal beat us by a clear offside. Can’t recall if it was the league title or a cup final. Disgrace.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Nov 2018 15:28:23
Think that’s the WBA game where he was offside by a country mile

I recommend the book on how Leeds have consistently been cheated throughout history

By that Leeds fella

Cracking books.

With Robbie Gotts and Jamie Shackleton waiting in the wings I still fear MB will persist with Dallas to fill the RB position.

That’s why I thought the under 23 game was interesting. It’s going to be a gap for ten games, no beradi available and Gotts played all of the under 23 game with Shackleton playing in front of him and no Dallas at all. Perhaps for Bielsa Dallas is a no brainer and he was happy to watch Gotts for the whole game. I like Gotts, real battler, goes forward naturally. The only thing that doesn’t help him is his height!

I hear yo Spanish but then there have been some real good full backs who were vertically challenged.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Oct 2018 09:48:44
Gotts is a tidy, busy player. Really like him.

He and Shackleton have potential but lots to learn still. Trust MB to bring in and out of the team now and then when he feels it’s right. Good they play different positions too. That’s a big thing outside of this island and tbh isles something I always tried to include in my coaching ( irate parents permitting obvs)

Dallas is the steady pro option to the above when needed.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Oct 2018 12:05:30
Dallas always gives 110% and has the experience over the younger guys. Not a natural defender but this is when you need bazza, pilot and barrel maker helping him out by talking to him constantly and helping him with his positioning.

Nice one Martyn, and exactly right.

I threw a CV in the bin the other day because it included the phrase 110% - need my staff to be able to count.

So Dawson punches Pontus during the Forest game, let's see if the EFL or FA do anything. My guess NO as punching Leeds players appears acceptable! Hope Pontus didn't shout F*****g hell at the ref or he will be on a charge.

Just watched la clasico. They seem to be able to take their chances well and have great conversion ratio.
Don't know why we can't do the same.

Just a wild guess but a game at the top of la liga may involve better quality players than the championship

That’s why they’re there.

Other interesting observation from today's under 23 game. Shackleton played but in midfield with Baker and Robbie Gotts played right back. Given Ayling is out until new year, interesting he didn't have Shackleton in that position. Perhaps he has decided on Dallas! Gotts had another good game but has never yet got close to the first team. With right back now, this isn't just a 1/ 2 game fill in, this could be a 10 game run in the side!

Which shows how daft it was to send Coyle out on loan again without a release clause.

Good point Spanish. Maybe it’s dallas experience that gets him the nod. I’ve never been a fan of Dallas. Other than working hard he offers little in the way of attack ( for a winger ) .
Maybe also Bielsa dosent want to blood too many youngsters at a time. Looking for a balance in the side.

Dallas as played two to three times at left and right fullback and as been awfully on all occations.

Just seemed strange to me that given lots of first teamers in the under 23 side, the one position that we clearly have a vacancy for 10 games was filled for the whole game by someone who would be a very surprise choice for the job. He could have given Dallas a half for more practice or Shackleton. It seems to point to him being settled on Dallas. But even if Shackleton is going to be cover on the bench, would have been good to have him playing at least a half. Unless he wanted to have a good look at Gotts with the view to Dallas starting and Gotts on the bench. We will see!

Agree0 Disagree0

I back Bielsa’s decision, no matter what. He’s likely to have more insight and football knowledge stuck between his front teeth than I’ll ever have!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Oct 2018 17:15:23
A few rumors that he might have been having a good look at Gotts. Even if he goes with Dallas might be good to have a back up option on the bench, although Shackleton could cover it, he hasn’t had much faith in Pearce and with Douglas back. Gotts could get a bit of time on the bench. Intrigued to see the line up for Sunday.

Sounds like a few people on here seem to be making Dallas a scapegoat, he ALWAYS puts a shift in and makes very few, notwithstanding losing his man on Saturday, mistakes. He gets forward and is always looking to beat the full backs, usually putting in decent crosses. Leave the lad alone, there's a few in the team that play worse than him.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Oct 2018 18:21:53
I think that’s way Bielsa rates him because he is willing, wherever he starts. It does make it much harder for him as well because he is being moved all other the park. The only thing this time, is that it’s not just covering for a game or 2 it’s 10 games minimum at Right back. I’m sure Bielsa is assessing all the options. I might be tempted to keep Dallas’s flexibility in the squad and go with Shackleton or Gotts to cover right back for that spell. Just intrigued to see how we line up.

Shackletons natural position is midfield. He can play right back but to be honest would prefer a right back at right back.
