The way the Byrom contract issue is being handled is not good. it gets to other players. no confidence in that team today. I was a bit harsh in my demolition comment but if our young players start to go we really are in trouble. I'm really worried. we're way off a play off place. hope we won't be sucked into relegation battle.

Does anyone else agree that our deliveries into the box whether via a corner or free kick are very poor. We had a few today and they were terrible, this has been the same all season so far. It's going to cost us!!

100% agree dougie, said it back end of last season and every game this season. Our delivery into the box is woeful whether it's free kicks, corners, open play - we rarely get it past the first defender and when we do it's over hit straight to the keepers arms.
Me and my mates have said all season that this is one of our biggest technical weaknesses.
And at the other end we seem to struggle to cope with balls into the box.
Would love to see our stats on headed goals from balls into the box but I bet it makes poor reading.

Watching the match today a few things became clearer.
1. From a footballing point of view we are looking significantly better than last season, playing some decent stuff.
2. We do not have the depth in the squad to be able to rotate players or even bring in players when needed. Its quite clear that although we have a good 11, we are still short all over. Another striker is needed, Buckley is coming so the winger situation is sorted. We need better cover at the back, and a left back to take the pressure off Taylor and to have proper cover.
3. Botaka looked scared to take people on, but this should get better.
4. Doukara isn't a decent option off the bench.
5. Erwin has no chance of playing, seeing as he didn't even make the bench, with Wood injured.
6. When Bellusci is playing badly, he makes everyone else just as bad.
7. Silvestre needs "a rest".
8. Antenucci is not a starter. He is our option off the bench. Although he did really well today.
9. We are own worst enemiy.

1, Agreed, if that is the best Middlesborough can come up with then we don't have anything to worry about?
2. We do have depth in the squad but we don't use it!
3. Botaka had a good debut, hopefully lots more like that to come, don't knock him!
4. Doukara isn't a decent option, full stop. Why do we still have him?
5. Who is Erwin? Just kidding but why buy him and then not use him?
6. Bellusci? Best goal I have seen from a Leeds player in a long time - DOW!!!
7. Silvestri is getting better by the game in my opinion, Nugent actually handled the ball in the area if you look closely and the defenders seem to be all over the place. He had Bellusci's goal covered, but not sure if he actually called for the ball or not, and the third goal was certainly not his fault?
8. Antenucci IS a starter and deserves to be there, he can pull a ball down out of the air and turn on it, why waste three quarters of a game without that sort of talent?
9. Our own worst enemy? You are kidding, that team today kept on at Middlesborough for the whole 90 (plus) minutes, although I could agree with you seeing as how we apparently had more shots at Silvestri than Middlesborough managed?
