Barnsley - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[spaldy]

Eddie is awesome but does come in when defenses are wore out. Might be MBs strategy. bamford works hard . Not sure why on Harrison kind of a head scratcher

Barnsley does not look like a relegation team

Hmmmn Eddie has raw pace doesn’t matter if it is the 3rd minute or the 85th minute it scares defences and if he starts the centre backs will be chasing shadows so be more knackered as the game goes on. I know who I would prefer to mark any way

[Rev72]

The answer to the problem is on the bench.

Seems Bielsa is the only one who does not see it..we start with Eddie & Costa we rip Barnsley a new arse!

But what the feck do I know

On todays evidence I would have to agree.

I was thinking of jumping aboard the 'Bamford out Eddie in' bandwagon but there is something to be said for the fact that the defences are tired when he comes on which makes Eddie's job easier. Not sure I could say the same for the Harrison (HTF did he miss that before half time?) and Costa debate as Costa looks infinitely more dangerous.

Might be worth bringing Eddie on earlier than with 20 to go because he certainly looked more dangerous and with a little more time could probably have scored or created more - or at least tempted thier defenders into lunging in and getting a booking.

I am still very concerned about our non-existant threat from corners. In some ways our corners are more dangerous for us because teams will invariably clear the ball and could well be successful on the counter.

I thought that Casilla and Shackleton did well today; Phillips was solid as usual and White is more impressive each game.

Excellent win today its always tough going to oakwell they always raise their game, amazing how people see things differently, someone says Klich was awful well sorry he was class and never stops he is getting better, It was an intimidating atmosphere for the players there were fights braking out all over the stands wi so many Leeds fans scattered all over, this makes the win an even better one, we were far better than them it could easily have been 10-2, one little rant from me, we lose to Swansea and 128 posts on that thread compared to a brilliant win and 50 odd, amazes me really its as though some so called fans want us to fail.

Everyone was at church....

As much as I want bamford to succeed, he just doesn't, he is not a natural goalscorer, he just hasn't got it, Eddie is a natural, the pace, the instinct, the balance, it's all there, he gets in positions bamford should be in, he finishes chances bamford can't, and as for Costa not starting ahead of Harrison (nothing against the lad) is unbelievable, bielsa must either be the most stubborn manager ever, or needs to go to Specsavers. Eddie can't, and won't always be our twenty minute saviour, start him and Costa for everyone's sake.

[norfolk white]

I also must say, excellent win, top of the league, can't ask for much more, except as I said above, start Eddie and Costa.
