Crainey we a weak link at the back today. He wasn't that bad, but he wasn't quite good enough. We've got two weeks to find a proper relacement, I think Lewis is too important for creating scoring chances to limit him to left back.

Or why not try Westlake on the left?? With Lewis at left back?? No i dunno about that one. Westlake looks far more comfortable in the middle at the mo. If Eddie did go Left back, i'd want Carole in the side...he's nippy and attacking and so we don't lose the threat we had from Lewis.... |

how long do you think we'll lose horsefield for??
3 games for the straight red, but then he launched a massive verbal attack on the linesman while he was walking off........and if that gets reported then he'll be out for a bit longer
any ideas?
if its more than 4 games then we may as well just send him straight back to warnock

Hopefully it'll make Blackwell play Healy (who was very good today) and Blake up front proper 4-4-2. And put Beckford on the bench. Please don't even think about Moore though. |

Im very pleased witht eh performance but Horsefield should be ashamed of himself. When he got sent off i thought that was that and everything was gonig to go downhill which didnt and i am very happy about that! We looked much better playing a passing game then just hitting the ball up all the time! I would have liked to see Blake come on instead of Moore to see how Healy and Blake did together but i am hopeful now after seeing that performance now come on Leeds keep it up forget about the result today it was a good performance! I got to say bringing Moore on wasn't actually a bad move....he did chase down a lot of things when he came on and that was what his instructions were. But now with Horsefield out for a bit, we need a partner for Healy and thats got to be Blake with Beckford stepping up to the bench. I posted something along the lines of "what a good player (Westlake) he is - better than Bakke" post on the match thread! Well impressed! Whole team of 10 played well - and in Warner we've a match saver (note he got his hands to Morrison's winner too)! |

Can someone post Blackwells afterthoughts when they come out. There you go Lucas: Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell "In life, you do not always get what you deserve. We looked a good team, even when we were down to 10 men. "I did not see the sending-off because I was talking to the fourth official and I didn't find out what happened because I had to sort out the team. "I don't want to be losing points but I believe it was a strong performance from a good Leeds side."  |

Ok thanks leedstilidie. Weird interwiew at the end when he was asked some questions he just went completely quiet and didn't say anything. Shame about when he was asked if Cresswell was any closer to a return he just said 'no'. No closer? So miles away then?

i watched the match on sky, and palace wont go up this season. You outplayed them with 10 men, and i would say that you were much more likely to go up than them. Westlake is definitely better in the centre than o the left, but bfg felt otherwise

The trouble is Blackwell sounds like a tool when he is interviewed. Reading between the lines, there does sound like there is a rift between himself and Bates, as he wouldn't even mention the tapping up stuff. Almost sounds like two different clubs at the moment - you hear the Bates stuff one minute, and Blackwell's clueless (too harsh?) comments the next.

Thinking about it, it is not really reading between the lines, so much as blindingly obvious!

Unlucky today. I thought you played very well - Stone and Derry particularly. Good turnout for a Sunday midday too, but then you do have fans all over the place.

I think we missed out when we were linked to Camara from Celtic. I'm sorry, but I have next to no confidence in Crainey especially in pressure situations towards the end of games when he is tired. Think we looked good for long spells today and that is against a good side with us at ten men. Hugely disappointed with Horsefields antics, if he is trying to win a contract then slapping the centre half within the first 20 minutes and being showered and changed before your knackerred team mates even come in for a cup of tea and a slice of orange is the wrong way to go about it.. Hopefully KBs refusal to answer questions about Cresswell is because he will be unleashed on Cardiff next week.

No disrespect but, how can you judge that before August is even half way over? There's eight and a half months of football to be played yet. Carl Fletcher, Michael Hughes and Clinton Morrison aren't fit yet and Peter Taylor is hoping to buy another striker before this first deadline. We've been lucky to get 9 out of 9 points but there's better to come. Your team are currently 24th - I have no idea if you will stay there because there's a bloody long way to go yet. |

I do think that both teams we saw today will be in the playoffs. Just gutted to lose points in the last minutes again.

Mate, you might be3 out of 3 but if that's your best then you ain't gonnna be up there for long 1-0 1-0 1-0 ha ha ha ha ha ha Well said JJ I think Leeds can come away from this match knowing that we outplayed Palace with 10men for 80mins and now no we are far superior than that crap team. I can see us going on a major run of form before christmas. The luck will change |
