Why is that BB ?

He thinks they will lose. His response to my text when I told him we'd drawn them was "oh bugger".

You can't watch Leeds live every week !

[Dr.Leeds]

Goals here CLICK

Kinnel Kenny? AGAIN! Fluffed their goal and thank fook Pearce was awake to clear off the line, when Kenny stranded himself again....Kenny is more hot and cold than my bath taps.

Great strikes from Brown and Dom tho

What?

That cross is too far out for Kenny to come for and the lad is unmarked for a free header which he took brilliantly.

No chance for Kenny there.

Come on now, you know not to use logic in an argument wth Twiggs.

[Dr.Leeds]

Come on now, you know not to use logic in an argument wth Twiggs.

I know in my heart of hearts that Twiggs is too far gone to save, but my hope is that others reading this forum will learn the way of common sense and be spared going down the same path.

Just to recap for everyone:

Jonny Howson is not invisible.

Robert Snodgrass is not an alcoholic.

Luciano Becchio was a fine goalscorer for Leeds United.

Paddy Kenny is not automatically at fault for every goal Leeds United concede.

Neil Kilkenny was s**t.

Ken Bates is not still running Leeds United.
It really is not important which arm you use to do the Leeds salute.

Norman Hunter was a centre back.

The singing from the Kop is very good and cannot be judged adequately from a radio broadcast.

The Beatles were one of the finest and most important acts in the history of music.

Remember these things kids and you'll be just fine.

A perfect summation of reality.

Which will not be understood everywhere, but as Marcellus says to Horatio in one of Billy the Shake's most famous plays

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

[The Subhuman]

Sh't I'm gonna have to re- evaluate every thing I don't know about football

[LUFC_BOS]

Interesting summation from the good Doctor

Can see a lot of water has run under this bridge

[Gino 1959]

Take it I can't comment on the match last night cos I wasn't there.

Don't know where you get that impression from

What a difference in just a few days makes & a drastic effect performance-wise when we make seven changes to the team that started v Brighton

This was a total abject display from virtually all of the first eleven, the exceptions being Kenny, Poleon & old man Brown who takes the MOTM honours for me. Tbh i feel MB will be overrun if played in the championship but he put in a good shift v a very enthusiastic Chesterfield outfit who outplayed us for long periods of the game with their neat passing & movement

Who was the League 2 side i ask ? thankfully this game wasn't played on their patch or else it may have been a different scoreline which quite frankly flattered us.

Kenny 7 - another solid display between the sticks with some smart sleeves as his back four & midfield did their best to make it an uncomfortable night for him
Thompson 5 - did okay but nowhere near ready for the first eleven yet, struggled to get forward
Pearce 5 - no change here as far as i can see from last season, made one good clearance off the line which shouldn't have been allowed to happen by our inept & hesitant defence
Lees 4 - how has TL managed to get into the England U21 team....nervous & uneasy on the ball/caught out of position/lumbering are just a few of his traits....WE REQUIRED A TOP COMMANDING CENTRE-BACK
Drury 5 - as Shieldsy has already mentioned we require our full-backs to push forward in the system we play....didn't happen last night. Peltier & Warnock definitely are our first team full-backs
Green 3 - probably his worst game in a Leeds shirt....constantly committed suicide by losing possession of the ball in dangerous areas, his own making i must add !
Brown 8 - without doubt our MOTM, great goal & involved in the good parts of our play
Norris 3 - surely will struggle to play many games after this shocker
White 3 - a player who looked promising as a youngster....six years later he has deteriorated to what can only be described as out of his depth....League One beckons
Smith 5 - was looking forward to seeing this lad....disappointed after what i witnessed here...won alot of headers but nothing materialised from them, lumbered through the game, missed a glorious chance early doors which he somehow scooped it in the air as the ball remained in play in a real comedy moment. Coming off the bench is his destiny for the future game i reckonPoleon 8 - our only frontman who looks like he has goals in him, excitng to watch when ypong LEON is on the ball

Subs :

McCormack & Murphy - gave us more composure in midfield....Murphy is gonna be a star !

In a way, watching young Smith last night took me back a few years to a time when we had a certain defender with a head shaped like a fifty pence piece, and that appeared to be happening to Matt Smith.! Nearly all hid headers went to the wrong place, and our attack seemed unable to read what he was going to do. I'm not rejecting him as a waste of oxygen though, it's early days, plenty of time for him to come good!

And your Man of the Match DD ?

[eastyorkshirewhite]

As McDermott has stated the best team lost.You have to admire the way Chesterfield tried to play football,and nearly nicked extra time when hitting the post also had a couple of penalty appeals turned down.But in the end we won and really thats all that matters.ratings
Kenny 5 Did all he had to do
Thompson 5 lacked support from those in front of him
Lees 4 Looked un-sure
Pearce 8 A great clearence and quite solid
Drury 6 Would benefit from arun in the team
White 4 Looked out of it but was asked to seem to fit in anywhere
Norris 5 Did not take his chance
Brown 8 A workmanlike performance capped with a good goal
Green 4 His worst performance to date
Poleon 7 Does not look up to it yet
Smith 4 Looked un-fit and no better tham Morrison
Subs
McCormack 6 Please god we dont sell him our only player with vision
Murphy 5 Plenty of running but early days yet
