Him or Pontus, both had blinders tonight, sadly the same can't be said for certain other defensive players.

Agree3 Disagree1

Green is growing in my estimation. Ok he has his mad moments and certainly more vocal than silvestri. We can't expect a world class keeper who makes very few mistakes to come and play for 2 sheckles and 5 groats in this this league.

green was superb tonight. his best game in a leeds shirt for me.

always going to concede when Cooper in.

I was chatting to a couple of Bristol's city fans and thanking them for Luke. They said he was average. Well Monk has done something to him. Mot.

If they let Luke Ayling go because he's "average" why aren't they walking the league with what they have left?

For those who said earlier that they would be happy with a draw just to let you know I'm not a bit happy with the draw.

Sorry Wex, disagree mate. A good solid point. Still happy with it. Stupid pen, but that's footie.

Hard to take Wexy. But good point away.

Agree3 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 21:49:09
Definitely two points dropped Wex. We must beat Rotherham now. If we do then look back on seven points from the Christmas games I think we'll settle for that.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 21:58:35
We hit the post twice and only a defensive error gives them a penalty and we are happy with a draw your mad.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 21:58:54
Disappointed, we were better team but still happy providing we beat Rotherham. Think we would all have accepted 7 points from these games.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 22:16:45
To draw from a winning position is always a disappointment. Move onto the next game and give rothers a good hammering, that should get it out of our system.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 22:21:31
Played well overall absorbed the pressure well in 1st half. 2nd half well on top until the odd mistake crept in. Which ultimately cost us the the 3 pts. Was 2 points dropped imo.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 22:44:59
i think that top post is called the cross bar Wex.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 01:57:18
Wex is right. With 4 minutes and injury time to go it's about seeing the game out. We should have taken all 3 points but look how far we've come when we get vexed at dropping 2 points away to a club only recently relegated from the PL with a large parachute payment. The right moves in the January transfer market and we could be going to the PL in May.

Ay whole Cooper.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2016 22:10:35
Sadly the more I see of Cooper the more he looks like a Lg1 CB. Does a lot of things really well but always does something stupid and costs you a goal. Tonights mistake is unacceptable from a defender challenging in the promotion spots. I can handle a late tackle or a pull when a players done you with a bit of skill or pace but jumping with your arm up and catching a zero danger ball with your hand like that is schoolboy stuff.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 23:10:33
Gummie Another fine post of yours. This is why we need a central defender as 3rd choice because Cooper is 4th rate.

Agree4 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 00:16:46
Honestly George, I would like to see 2 come in after the match tonight. As you say we need a new 3rd choice but we can't afford a player that every fan knows is going to cost you points and goals in such a tight promotion race. Cooper is still worth a decent fee and I think we can bring in better for the money.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 02:01:42
I was thinking the exact same thing tonight. Why not bring in 2 new central defenders and sell Cooper? He was not a Monkey buy and he's only average championship standard which is not where we're at right now.

Agree3 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 20:40:03
Need to sharpen up the passing. Philips especially poor in that respect Hernandez on early doors and wood too Still plenty in this for us.

Wow, they're all over us like a bad rash, but we're holding them off so far! Not pretty football from Leeds but keep it up boys.

29 Dec 2016 19:10:11
We are showing the lack of depth in the squad tonight. With Cooper playing I can't see us keeping a clean sheet. However well he plays there always seems to be a blank moment or two when he allows us to concede. I think we will have to score two or three to win and at least one to draw. We will be particularly vulnerable at set pieces. Hope Bartley isn't out for the Rotherham game. A win would be great but I can see McCormack scoring - he is due one. A draw would be good.

The barrel maker put in a good shift by all accounts when he came in a few games ago to cover for the pilots suspension. Agree we are stronger with the Bart-sson parnership but not too concerned. Arise Sir Coops and score the winner in injury time.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2016 23:53:37
Whoever disagreed with my assessment before the game do you now agree? If you forget the changing room politics Cooper was always a liability and was worse than Belusci in skill terms. We need better cover.

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Dec 2016 16:09:07
Hoping for a 2-1 win tonight as the team seem to have some steel about them and have acquired the winning habit and confidence Although with Villa improving under Bruce I would settle for a draw. Come on you Leeds - MOT brothers.

Hi lads, let's watch Pontus with his Magic Hat. Great loan signing.

Bartley set to miss out tonight after the concussion Vs Preston - he will be a big miss if true.

Hi Ed. Merry Mad Mickmas. (Do you see what I did there? ). We don't have a Leeds Sightings page. When I was 'lurking' on the other teams banter pages yesterday they have one. Could you arrange for one on ours? We all want to see Aussie in his skins!

{Ed033's Note - Hi, there is now a Leeds Sightings page to upload images. Look for the 'Sightings' tab on the top menu.

How about a cheeky bid for Tammy Abraham this window. Has looked amazing in what is a very average bristol side. Would probably cost a bit but is definitely a future star imo. Offers something a bit different to wood aswel.

He is on loan from Chelsea so would be unable to get him this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it might be worth a cheeky pop at Llorente from Swansea . you never know :)

29 Dec 2016 14:08:14
Whilst a very good idea white, highly unlikely. The last monetary player transfer from Chelsea to Leeds was almost 20 years ago. Also, I can see Chelsea wanting minimum 13m for him. We ought to keep tabs on him though and see what happens.

For the slightly mad one. 'Spoons are having a January sale so you can keep downing the pints and upping the whites for less from Jan 3rd until the 18th. Happy days. MOT.

Lads been a gold member every year except this one due to the away games I couldn't attend, but I joined 6 weeks ago in case we get to Wembley (if not automatically) . Although it was 6 weeks ago I haven't received my card yet, anyone else had this problem? Happy new year in advance to all MOT.

I'm going for a win lose or draw against villa Win. Because we are as wex said one of best in league and are solid and are better than villa Draw because it's the sensible logical result being away against a reasonable team. Lose. Cause we are due a slip. Can't get it right all the time and have only lost to slightly superior teams of late so. It's just not like Leeds over Christmas to win all I bet I'm right.
