Why not drop him and give a young Brit a go after impressing during the game time he's recieved?

And you think that continuing to play in front of a capacity crowd, and hearing the groans whenever he cocks up again is in someway going to motivate him?

Or that his fellow team members are delighted in effectively playing a man short in the squad?

We've had two excellent seasons from Scotty, whilst the rest has been a catalogue of under achievment, with this year being a mirror of his first season.

He can play on the left wing when he's back in Oz. We should continue with the excellent pairing of Hall and Senior.

Because I have been his staunchest defender on these boards.

So continuing to play him will improve his confidence!! - dropping/rest - cannot make his confidence any worse surely

A team that is not playing well cannot afford to carry anyone - I would swop him for 3/4 weeks if that doesn't work then I think a rest is in order

According to Emma, all you have to do to stay in the Leeds side is stand behind the posts shouting "come on chaps, I know I'm useless but hey I'm motivational".

Because Hall is playing better than Donald did last year when he was on the left. Although I do agree that we should change them round, Donald may return to some of his form from the previous 2 seasons, and Hall will be solid at least on the right.

Continuing to pick him COULD send out the message that you believe in him, think he's a good enough player and he'll come through a drop in form sooner rather than later. By the same token it could end up destroying a player, as he continues to struggle week in, week out. That's a decision for the coach to make, and is a big reason why he's employed.

Also, putting him in the reserves could either allow him to "find his feet" again, or make him think he's not wanted or make the situation worse.

I'd agree the current situation can't go on, but how to solve it is not something that's easy to predict.

form has to be chosen IMO

Dont say that Loz.....

Regards,

Donald
Bailey
Kirke
Webb
Burrow
Kylie
JJB

As does your list here....

Donald does come out top of the "off form list"

JJB & Burrow have been Injury hit as well

I guess this is where having a coach with good man management skills comes in

I think Tony Smith would take the hard line approach and drop him. I hope Brian can do the same.

Squads lighter this year but if Halls fit then it would be easier to pick Hall & Watkins than sticking with Donald. Heck why not ever add BJB to the mix.
