Barry Douglas

[WTF11]

Do keep up dear ... we played a game last night. he came on as a sub second half and when he did he looked very assured and composed, ran with purpose, used the ball well and defended well.

I'm well aware that we were in a match last night ("played" is a very loose interpretation of what we did), and that Douglas came on as a substitute, playing in the half where we conceded a goal, and where the prospect of scoring one of our own vanished into a dot on the horizon.

"Assured, composed, ran with purpose" and to what effect (apart from ballooning free kicks when he wasn't "running with purpose")? Bit like Sacko being so quick, but never knew what to do with the ball when he discovered he had exited the stadium.

You seem a little like the Labour Party - you can’t recognise you have a problem and there is no point in arguing with people in denial. For a little bit of political balance your tone comes across a little like Jacob Rees Mogg.

if you don’t want to understand an honest opinion but snipe because it upsets your self orientated view an all matters then good luck fella but don’t expect me to be unduly worried that we disagree (in fact that may actually be reassuring).

Pray tell, what "problem" do you think I have? Should I be celebrating what was, by some margin, one of our worst performances of the season? This isn't a political debating society, its football supporters forum, and surely disagreement is to be expected (welcomed?). I'm no more upset by you having one opinion and me another than I am by anyone else who disagrees with me, why should I? On another tack, we've all been treading on eggshells about Bielsa and his status as some kind of Leeds Messiah, but after last nights performance (and a couple prior to that) I think there are some, myself included, who would be happy to express a difference of opinion with him too, does that mean I have a "problem"?

If I didn't care about Leeds, I'd just watch what gets posted and just let it slide, but I do, and won't, end of. If you don't wish to "correspond" so be it, same for everyone else, you're all entitled to post or not as you see fit, as am I.

The fact remains you could start an argument in an empty room - soon be here all by yourself fella

Short memory - thought you where ignoring me?

Douglas looked good when he came on, nice passing and looked like he was going to link up well.

One bad shot is basically why loads of people are up in arms, if he hadn't had that shot nobody would even be mentioning him.

Ignoring those I want to ignore, replying to those I want to reply to, simples.

Spot on - at least he got into position but no worse than some of the other dire attempts.

The one piece of pure Pablo quality was in the first half where no one got on the end of his cross. Roofe I am sure would have buried it but Bamford and Roberts were no where near getting on the end of it. If we had gone in 1-0 up then who knows ....


PS anyone else slightly concerned with MBs comments about the game - the photo of him on his stool st the end of the game in the tunnel tells a different story to what he said
