Post by **1964white** » Mon Dec 16, 2013 10:52 pm

One of our main bogey teams turn up at ER on Saturday still managerless as yet !

Someone needs to nonbble their bleached-haired midfielder Perkins

always seems to have a decent game against us

Same team that started v Donny i suspect !

I'd agree be very surprised if there was any changes to the team that started v Donny.
Smith to bag 2 I think...

2nd home game of the season for me

Hoping to see Mowatt's first goal and one a piece from Ross and Smith.

I'd stick with the same team - it's getting results!

I really think Smith has the potential to be a great player if he just is a bit more composed sometimes watching him hes trying too hard although he wins everything in the air and is good at hold up play.

Didn't we nobble one of their good MFs in a previous game and still get tanked?

If Smith gets the correct service from wingers etc, he can easily bag 15-20 goals a season. But without a steady supply he can quickly fall away.

Without a doubt he can and thats where I think Gradel can come in to the equation although I must say Pugh is getting better every game I just wish Peltier could cross the ball better id love to have two Mowatts on either flank wed be sorted..

Mowatt

now there's a lad who can deliver a decent ball into the danger area, best we've had many years

Would be interesting how many assists he's created in his short career in a white shirt

Mowatt has 4 assists so far in his 11 matches.

Could be a much more difficult game now as Barnsley have just appointed Danny Wilson as their new manager. This is his second spell in charge.
The only change I would make is Wooton for Lees and in my opinion that would bring a bit more composure to the defence. Keep Byram away from the action until he's 100% ready for the 1st team. A tricky fixture, as always where Barnsley are concerned, but one which we should be looking to put a few goals past them.

Mowatt: 4 Assists in 11 appearances, 0 goals

For comparison:

McCormack: 3 Assists in 20 appearances, 16 goals
Austin: 3 Assists in 19 appearances, 2 goals
Varney: 2 Assists in 10 games, 2 goals
Murphy: 2 Assists in 18 appearances, 1 goals
Smith: 1 Assist in 17 appearances, 6 goals
Pugh: 1 Assist in 6 appearances, 1 goal
Blackstock: 1 Assist in 4 appearances, 1 goal

Definitely leading the way in the assist category.

Gradel playing for Leeds in a World cup year, highly doubt thats a good move for him.

Mowatt must have more than four assists, I can recall five v Birmingham, Wigan, Doncaster, Huddersfield x 2, I reckon there is at least one more, will have to get my thinking cap on

Agree on Byram

Lees distribution v Donny was nothing short of shocking & woeful.....he can't even find one of our players when he takes a throw-in so what chance has he with his feet......HOOF !!!!!

Why is McDermott deploying Lees to take throw-ins for gods sake, surely Peltier's job

He hasn't scored though has he? Useless...

You're forgetting that Byram is one of the best crossers of the ball we've got. This great run of results we've been on began around the same time we started seeing Mowatt and Byram in the same team

Peltier cant find a team mate kicking the ball never mind throwing it
