Leeds United - v - Bristol City ***Matchday Thread***

[Rev72]

Yet again some folk mouthing off about sacko, coz he obviously lost us the game didn't he, give it a bloody rest

We had more possession,more decent attempts on goal, yeah I'm pi$$ed off we didn't win, but I saw some positives second half

Now we will win on Wednesday

MOT!!!

Roller-coaster stuff clive..2nd half was hectic!

Can't afford to give Derby a 2 goal start on Wednesday..but we have Saiz back which is a massive boost.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Important to get berardi back as well

As much as I hate to say it, id even give cooper a run out, not fully convinced with Pennington, we've had far worse than him at cb before but he's still about 22/23 and for me doesn't have the size to be a good cb, he's not a bad player, I just don't think he's ready yet, he could end up being a good defender in a couple of years though if he gets the big game experience regularly

Don't get me wrong here, I'm one of coopers biggest critics, but it really is a coin toss between him and Pennington, neither are what we need next to jansson

It will be interesting to see what formation and lineup we use vs Derby, knowing that only our 3 long term injured players will be unavailable

Alioski and Saiz back together perhaps? Maybe Dallas and sacko out wide and Saiz and hernandez central somehow, it really will be interesting to see what PH decides between now and Wednesday

Clive, you we right about there being plenty of positives about the second half, but Sacko clearly wansnt one of them.if were going 442 again and you want 2 wingers, any 2 from Dallas,Hernandez, Roofe Alioski have to start before Sacko.
Agree regarding Cooper though, ive just stated his ineptness on another thread, but as you said, the boy Pennington isnt exactly making the selection process difficult, for me Cooper shades it only because Jansson has some kind of relation with Cooper whereas yesterday with Pennington, there was a Keystone cops feel to the centre back understanding.
Given that practically the whole back 5 is injured, unavailable or shighte i wonder how the Young scandinavian CB we signed is doing? cant be worse than the bollox currently on display, and would obviously converse well with Jansson?

Not sure we can really afford a midfield of Dallas, Sacko, Saiz and Hernandez - surely somebody has to be able to actually win the ball before we can unleash the attacking prowess of your flair dream team (and Sacko)?

God help us if Heck thinks sackos the answer

Actually, (and im not saying he was good), he just wasnt as bad as usual.

Dare I say it..he looked lively and up for it

I know it easy to bash Sacko but he was a positive when he came on.
