Leeds v Blackpool - Team/Reports/Ratings....

Post by 1964white »

Crunch home game - 6 pointer.....the Seasiders are in worst form than we are :shock:

I wouldn't fancy us having to beat Forest or Derby in our remaining ER matches

God knows what team our gormless, clueless manager will select this week....never found his best eleven all season

Please Brian lets have Murphy & Smith back in the line-up, maybe worth considering Chris Dawson for the squad as Redfern has been enthusing about the kid this week

When I saw who we were playing on Saturday, I thought to myself. Somewhat ironic, is this fixture - and in a couple of ways.

A few years back, during Bates' - the cheaper, the better - player acquisition philosophy, Blackpool were looked upon as an example to us all. Look what Blackpool have achieved, and without spending big money too. That is the model that we should follow. Let's be like them, just look at Blackpool.

Well, how ironic that turned out to be. Just look at Blackpool now, plummeting towards League One like a rock. Maybe not this season, but sooner rather than later.

And the second irony...we are just like Blackpool with our achievements this season.

Blackpool is a team with more problems, but also Leeds United is in bad moment

would be the good chance for back to victory, but we must be in alert

He also highlighted Leicester as the way not to do it - splashing the cash for no reward. Hmmm

For the third home game running we can say for sure 'This is our best chance of getting the 3 points we need'.

LUTV commentators used to do the same thing. Every time Leicester failed to win a game, they'd go on an on about how spending money didn't mean success.

Hardly surprising, as they were employed to follow the bates line in everything.

...........................Butland

wooton.......... Pearce........Zak............warnock

.................Murphy..........austin

Stewart..............mowat.................... McCormack


............................Smith

Not sure why peltier was pushed out he would be in my team selection he was playing regular early on in the season when we was winning. one of few players I'd maybe keep next season always put effort in.

Welcome Milloy

Murphy & Smith have to return

Agree with you on Peltier, he gave us aerial presence at the back, our defence is weaker since his departure. I'd have played Pelts at CB alongside Pearce.

McDermott fell out with him I believe !

Tonge for Rudy. Otherwise I agree, they need to 'man up' big time too

For those of us who are gluttons for punishement - and who are attending this game ....

i believe you can get a home shirt for a tenner in the club shop by showing your ticket.

Yeh Austin has been disappointing this season its a shame because when he has a good game he is very good but he's not produced it enough. Maybe he he's not suited to center midfield role. Always wondered if he would make a good defender he has all the attributes to be a good defender?

I will try dig out the link - i think theres another one of those "win 90 prizes - one for every minute of the game" things.

Trying to increase attendance i presume - which must be working because i want to go.
