Agreed i guess he's more comfortable in the job and more relaxed now we are "singing from the same hymn sheet" as it were.

Have to agree.....even if the team does suffer a slump I have more faith they will soon be lifted from it.

One thing for sure...any season ticket holders must be pleased they seem to be getting much more for their money at the moment this season to date.

It's all very well stating the team raises its game at the 'business end' of the season, but that hasn't exactly been conducive to buying a season ticket.

Would that be his hymn sheet or yours rhinoms?

No conincidence, he was 5h1te. But so too was Clarkson on Friday, so don't know what to say with that one.

I thought Brent Webb was very good again overall.

It's obvious why he got MOM, he was directly compared to his opposite number - the jittering wreck that is Richie Owen.

Bet Mathers is sing in a corner somewhere.

Agree totally, Mathers may have is faults but he is 10 times the player Owen is and a ever will be.

Before his injury I thought Owen was going to make a great player. Either the injury has taken it's toll, Owen has begun to believe his own press or he's mixing with some bad influences darn t'lane (maybe all three) and now Owen has gone so far backwards he does look like a joke.

Sad really, maybe if he's a good boy father Christmas will bring Owen his talent back at Christmas. Unless owen has upset Father Christmas.

Well he's getting his run at full-back that he wanted.

Careful what your Christmas Wish is, it seems.

Like it when Owen tried to go all 'Webb' on us, passing to his winger in-goal. That worked...........for Leeds.

While I wouldn't have given MOM to Webb I thought he had a good game, yes there was some poor passes but for me his positives outweighed the negatives. He looks alot better this year than last to me, even kick returns he looks alot more interested and dangerous than he has in the past

Owen did look a prospect before his injury and while he's not looking so hot now I don't understand why Richard Mathers would take any great comfort from that.

Apart from when Warrington were about to get rid he's never come near to his distant Leeds form, IMO.

This.
The injury seems to have set him back years and he is looking very ordinary now i also remember you rating him higher than Shenton in terms of potential and raw talent pre-injury seems both are set to be confined to the "ok" ranks.

Mathers may glean some self satisfaction from the manner of his discarding at Cas from the fact that, whether Mathers is at his Leeds best or not, he's still playing a million miles better than the player who took his position. Also, the club may have backed the wrong horse for reasons other than form if rumours turn out to be true.

Mathers wouldn't be human if he didn't allow himself a wry smile at the least.
