Quote: Andy Gilder "Making judgements on the basis of one performance?

How very ted of both of you, apparently.'"
Where has anyone done that?

Did I not say Shenton was a good player? Do you think that he's a patch on Senior? Even now, when Shenton should be in his prime and Senior his dotage there's a gulf. Thats' not to disparage Shenton because Senior is the best British Centre around and has been for a long time. So, as I said, prepare to lower your standards when he is replaced.

Also, I also feel Watkins has more potential. It seems I am not alone in that view.

So, I fail to see why your panties are in such a twist. If you disagree with my view I am sure you could have eloquently countered instead of what was, frankly, a rather insipid whine.

I don't think We'll ever "replace" Senior because what he's done in his position at Leeds will take something special to emulate.
As for the names bandied about who could of eventually taken his place in the team wether it be Atkins or Shenton i'd of been happy for either to join us because i think at a better club in a better team both could reach higher levels of performance,skills and success etc although now there's no need for either imo.
At the moment we have a really good prospect in Watkins and i think/hope he will eventually take the 4 shirt and make his own legacy and along with the likes of Coady and Delaney only been 24 i think we have adequate depth in the centre's.

I think you'll never ever get a centre as good as Mong ( sorry ! ) ever again. He's getting better as he gets older but was it me or did he look like he's been in the gym over the offseason as he looked bigger in the body last week ?

Quote: G1 "Judging by the last time they faced each other we'd better be prepared to lower our standards and expectations if Shenton were ever to replace Senior. Frankly, he's a good player but is not fit to lace keiths' boots.

Watkins has bags more potential IMO.'"


One of the, if not only times he played right centre all year and had no defenders on his side seems they were all over covering for Widders in the centre so it isn't fair to judge him on that game.

Quote: G1 "judge a centre by how much quality ball his winger gets.
hall got nothing off shenton in the 4 nations. for me he is not good enough.
watkins by plenty although coady looks pretty usefull too'"


Shenton didn't get any ball so how was Hall supposed to get the ball from Shenton if he never got the ball in the first place?

It's all that horizontal jogging that he does, allegedly!

Wasn't Coady named as the replacement for Senior already?

If Senior keeps his fitness he has got at least a couple more seasons at centre, so early days for a relacement

Cant say Shenton did anything either. Chase on the other hand rang rings around us.

I have to agree with you on the fact we’ll never get a better centre. Greg Iglis is the only player in the world capable of taking over Keith Senior but the chances of getting him are probably very slim.

Quote: southstander4life "Shenton is a decent player in an average team, and as shown in the WC can cope at a high level? But is he good enough to replace Senior'"




This is why I have always hated Leeds the bloody arogance is unreal other teams may be average to Leeds fans but what were Leeds for 30 seasons before 2006 despite all the big money signings

Generally average, occasionally good, occasionally poor, for one year pretty dire and for another almost unbeatable.

Whats your point?

Don't hate, its a very negative state of mind and invariably leads to dementia at an early age when young men can be seen haunting the streets of small backwater towns in West Yorkshire, growling at anyone who isn't known to them, or who looks "a bit of a Yid".
