[quote="Trebor1":2boxjf4h]Solomon would be good in the Prem, he's good enough at that level imo. Rothwell would be a useful squad player in the Prem.. he's looked like one of the best at this level. Joesph needs a season on loan in the championship playing every week, theres a good player in there. It's a difficult balancing act when you have one eye on the summer as we need as much ££££ power as possible, we'd need to spend easily in excess of £100m to stay up. But, take your eye off 'today' and it can cost you big time... someone like Iheanacho would surely have made sense as a loan, plus he's a proven goal scorer in the prem.. odd one that.[/quote:2boxjf4h] I’m not sure Solomon has the legs for Premier League football. As for Joseph, I think he’s been seriously neglected with the lack of game time offered to him. He should have been playing lots more last season and introduced when we really struggled at the back end, but Farke wasn’t brave enough. I also don’t think he’s had a fair crack this season, because no matter how poor Piroe has played, Joseph has not had a decent run to prove himself after what was initially a promising start to the season. His progression has been stifled over the last 2 seasons and we are no nearer to knowing what his real potential could be

joseph hasn't played well enough to get in. hopefully the goal spurs him on, a season long loan wouldn't do him any harm if we go up

Agree Tad. Joseph had a fair bit of game time in the early part of the season and didn’t take his chance. He’s not yet taken his chance off the bench either though he did look sharp and scored v Cardiff so hopefully it’s the start of something.

wouldn't let me post for a week, said too many connections whatever that is, so.... Saturday was an I was there day. ruthless, firpo showing why you need a left footed player at left back. aaronsson was quality too. no incomings a suprise but unless we are really, really unlucky we should be fine. as has been said nobody else has signed someone and I've thought, wish we'd signed him. tough game tonight. 3 points would be fantastic but just don't lose. at least coventry will show ambition. burnley are the most boring, dull side I've ever seen

Yeah we need to go all out for a win tonight, balls to the cup, play Rothwell tonight, i don't want to see Gruev in the midfield, nor Ampadu. Rest a few for the cup, should still have enough for Milwall.

Absolutely brilliant again. Some pundits are tipping him as Championship player of the year. Unplayable on that form.

Sensational James. Been our best player all year. Best player in the championship. I thought he was the best attacker a few months back but i now think he's be outright best in the division. He's really matured nicely. Looks comfortable PL class.

thing with james is there's too many poor moments. bad crosses, getting needlessly caught offside. plenty of great moments but just a little more consistency needed. playing very well though. I'd play gruev tonight. get a good base and go from there. tanaka switches off and loses runners

james doing what he does a bit too often. missed 2 sitters. should be 6 up. hope we don't pay for it

meslier outstanding!!! so wasteful though should have been 10. nearly paid for it.

[quote="tad rhino":1napw01g]james doing what he does a bit too often. missed 2 sitters. should be 6 up. hope we don't pay for it[/quote:1napw01g] YEP report says Piroe missed the easiest chance of the game to wrap it up. Also said Solomon was offside far too often and Aaronson scored lowest because he was generally wasteful. Anyway, good 3 points and Fat Frank put back in his box.

Yeah, outstanding performance that against an in form team who's won last 4. We should have had 7 at least. very wasteful but also very unlucky, the officiating was diabolical, was a blatant pen on Aaronson, absolute stone wall pen. Goal chalked off at the end was never offside, Lino took 20 seconds to make his decision, caved into to Cov players. Piroe goal was superb, took it really well, was gob smacked he missed that 1 on 1 near the end as he doesn't normally miss those, their keeper had a blinder second half though. Messlier 2 saves were fabulous, Farke decision to keep him in has been justified now. Fair play.

Yes all in all against a team coming into form we put the game to bed early then put the cue on the rack. Infuriating in a way just how sloppy and wasteful we were at times but as said, a wins a win and if we didn't make things hard for ourselves it just wouldn't be Leeds. Missed a hatful of chances that could've really skyrocketed our GD and cant understand how that wasn't a penalty, hey ho, the merry go round of baffling ref decisions in the Championship goes on.

[quote="tad rhino":5un0boed]james missed 2 sitters in the first half. piroe and ramazani missed second half sitters. my first thought was our 3rd was offside, but he was miles on. aaronson was OK. certainly not our worst player. how james got a higher marks beats me. I voted bogle as m.o.m.[/quote:5un0boed] Just watched the highlights. Piroe also blazed one over in the first half from 6 yards out when all he had to do was square it to James for a tap in. Don’t wonder James was livid and booted the post. You can get away with a centre forward who only takes one out of every 3 or 4 chances at this level, but that’s why Piroe will be on his bike if we go up.

you hate our top scorer don't you?

Piroe will have his uses in the Prem (if we go up) of the bench. He is a superb finisher.

I agree. he definitely isn't a starter. but is a useful bench player

He’s a championship player for a reason, just like the rest of the squad, he’s not going to score every chance he gets

anyhow, not sure what side will be selected tomorrow, given we play Tuesday. I could see a brand new 11 play but realistically probably 6 changes. still favourites but makes it more difficult. rather have 3 points Tuesday if I'm honest. lucky enough to have picked up a sheff u ticket. £43 for a championship game. disgusting

[quote="tad rhino":chvfugx5]you hate our top scorer don't you?[/quote:chvfugx5] . Oh the irony. Don’t you get it Tad, I’m mirroring the hating role you have for Dan James that is so obvious whilst you try to be so subtle. Dan James has been one of our best rated players this season, yet you’ve never mentioned his name in a positive light even once. Swansea away, he destroyed them, not a mention. Boro at home, Sky pundits M.O.M, all the regulars on here giving him accolades, print media raving, YEP 9/10 M.O.M and Tad Rhino…….Rothwell M.O.M and no mention of James. As recently as last Saturday, James puts the first two goals on a platter for for Solomon and Aaronson, scores a goal, wins the penalty for Piroe, goes off to the biggest ovation of the season with the game won, highest mark of the season in the YEP, and Tad Rhino……not a mention of Dan James just banging on about Firpo and Aaronson ? Wednesday night Piroe misses two absolute sitters, not a mention, just into Dan James again. I don’t know why you have such a dislike for the lad, that’s up to you, but you’re fooling nobody on here with your constant slagging of him. He’s one of the first names on the team sheet and will be till we get promoted whether you like it or not. I merely point out the things you choose to ignore about one of your favourite players. Mr Piroe.

absolute drivel. james has been brilliant at times, as I have said numerous times. I've simply questioned his consistency. he gets that right he could play at a far higher level. although. like piroe, that's why he's a top end championship player rather than a premier league player. interesting if we go up how he does next season. you fool nobody. carry on bluffer

James has potentially been the most improved player under Farke, his first touch and his decision making used to be shocking. He’s up there with the best in the championship but his crossing could be much better, I fear he’s found his level tho, he deserves another shot at playing in the prem but could see him back at a top champ club, likewise Piroe

again, james could be a massive asset off the bench against tiring teams next season. you look at the whole squad and I'm thinking maybe 5 are premier league quality. it's bloody difficult for any teams going up
