Leeds v Cardiff - News/Team/Reports/Ratings

[Vincent Gambini]

Yup..... I believe Cardiff are s**tting themselves!

Going to be interesting to see where NW fits Ross Barkley into the line up that beat Spurs......tough to leave anyone out but if I had to, I would play Green and Brown ( based on Sunday ) as the defensive holding players and drop Austin.

Easy. Drop Austin and bring in Barkley.

Also depends on who comes in.

For you USA fans, this game is live on TV, on Be In Sports!!! Enjoy!

[DallasWhite]

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

[Drs.Dad]

Rodi called up for Jamaica national team game on Tuesday vs Mexico. Wouldn't expect to see him in our squad on Saturday?

His first loyalty is to Leeds United Twiggs, the club pay his salary, not Jamaica! If selected, he will have to make the most of his time AFTER Saturday's game!

He could go & not come back I wouldn't be bothered. Been a waste of space!!

I'm reserving judgement, already played nearly a full season before starting a new one with us. Then, naturally, got injured. We're not seeing him at anything like his best...I'd rather him than Brown, Norris and Tongue.

[leedsmad]

Started the thread early, as I've just seen this is being shown live on Setanta TV in Australia, meaning it is the BBC main game. Meaning there will be live streams available!

Thanks for the info Twiggs was gonna check the T.V guide on Setanta for tonight but you beat it to it cheers.....

that's what I have been saying al along...
He could very well come good next season..
Give him this year to settle in and get use to the championship

[Gino 1959]

Brown, Norris and Tongue.

Sounds like a firm of dodgy East End solicitors!

[Leeds_Fan_Jed]

Talk about throwing the game away, leeds are sh*t!!

Brown and varney are shocking and as much as I like him austin is having a very poor game!

[dantheleedsfan]

Austin Brown and Varney all poor again today, Varney tried bless him but nothing seemed to come off. Byram looked like he had a rare poor game unfortunately

[Emsley]

Player ratings (Watched a stream)

Paddy - 6 - average shift from Paddy, cant blame him for the goal but I did at the time till I saw the replay.
On this performance Ashdown needs a chance.

Byram - 7 - Had another good game but looks like he will be blamed for the ultra girly clearance that lead to their lucky goal. Tired near the end and passing was also off near the back end. Didn't bomb forward like he normally does. Is he carrying a small knock? Last two times I seen him play on a stream seems to be hurting late on in the game.

Pelts - 8 - MOTM.
Shackled bellend really well today.
His pace is a really good bonus for us at CB.
On this performance can stay there for me.
Encouraged players forward in the dying minutes.
Whoever said he had his best games at CB at start of the season take a bow.

Lees 6 Keeps getting better nothing to raise his score today though.

White - 6 For me can keep his place the next game.

Barkley - 6 Clever player, fluffed THE chance of the game. I would not drop green for him though. Held on to the ball a bit too long today. Could easily of been MOTM if he scored.

Brown - 6 - Better from the ageing war horse.

Austin - 6 - Oh dear, the lynch mob are well and truly out in force for him.
Looks Jaded, passing was flat and too cautious. Had a simple pass on in front of him to keep tempo up and he held on to it and passed to a left back. Needs a rest, but warnock will run him into the ground till he gets another Injury.

Reg - 6 - Looked better, some direct running and his physical game was good today. Still no end product though. On this performance cant see him been dropped next game unless moggy is fit. Better isnt saying much though.

Douche - 7 - Did what douche does.

Ross mc - 7 - Still our touch of class but up against their big number 6 (who was quality today) was always an uphill task with the poor performances around him.

Subs:

Habibou - 4 - lol gonna need a few games and more training to fit in.
Got a feeling he is gonna be crap.

[Martyn]

To be fair, if faaip had mentioned them in a different order then Brown Tonge and Norris would have sounded far worse

[patlufc]

Though we played alot better today, except for Austin. Paddy didn't really have much to do. Mistake from Byram for goal, but other than that good performance from back four. Brown battled well. Never really looked like scoring. Goodness knows where next goal is gonna come from

[Crude]

Hoping new-boy Morison can start and show what he can do next match.

Giving Austin a 6 is borderline a felony
