I can believe in Father Christmas, The Tooth Fairy and The Easter Bunny but I can't believe Darko picked Cooper to play at left back and brought on Murphy as first sub. Does Cellino have the monopoly on the Muppets because he keeps employing them. Murphy only made one pass that went forward and had no influence on the game, Cooper - what can I say? A centre back, possibly - a left back don't think so. What is it it about Leeds? We buy central defenders and then play them at full back - Wooton, Lees and now Cooper. Why don't we bring in decent players in these positions and play them. However, on balance, the foreign imports did better than their English counterparts even if Antelucci and Sloth had their worst games. I like Biannci and Bellusci gets better every game. Even though he is a centre back, his passing and control is better than most of our mid field and forwards. Pearce was solid as ever and only one major mistake. Byron is not the player he was. Mowatt - jury is out. Still not convinced about Sharpe. Although many do not like him Austin again was the pick of the mid field even though his decision making is flawed and frustrating on occasions. His pass completion is better than most and he does shake up the opposition with his strength and running. Who else runs at the opponents defence?

You're right about the Warnock for Cooper swap as he has been our most consistant player so far this season. Think Darko may have done it to rest Warnock and get a bit of rotation going as we have a massive squad. Hopefully he gave Murphy a chance just to have a look at him. Now that he's seen Murphy and seen that he's not a game changer it could be Adryan's chance against Wedensday.
The team seems to be very inconsistant and we shouldn't expect performances like against Huddersfield every week!

Well done, keep slagging Sam Byram. He is quite clearly past his best. What must he be now? Clearly past his best. I'm sure I speak for all Leeds fans when I say that I shall be grateful when he goes to a new club. I wonder why so many talented young players leave us?

I have seen sam bryam a few times this season. is he that talented? if so he clearly doesn't care as he has been average/innefective at best. love to see us get a decent fee for sam as think money would be far better than player

Not slaggimg Byram off at all. Just pointing out the obvious. Didn't say he should be dropped either but he, for whatever reason, is not giving us the attacking edge that he did which is part of the team's current difficulty. It is the job of the coach to find out if there is a problem and put it right. Not sell him. He played a lot of games and did well. Was injured and this, together with the level of expectation and the selling of his team mates, can affect ayoung player. Needs sorting within the club.
