I don''t think thats his account.

His tweets are very pro Leeds? He hasn''t got an active account. Even if he did, of course they would be pro-Leeds, he''s a Leeds fan.

According to the MOTD twitter feed at half-time, the panel were watching the game & felt Chelsea were playing us off the park. I don''t dispute Chelsea had the majority of possession & territory but they made out that it was an onslaught and we were very fortunate to get the point. Many neutrals I''ve spoken to felt we defended with great discipline & organisation, nullifying a Chelsea side short of cutting edge.

He''s got to be top of the pile in terms of Manager of Season at the moment. If we finish in the top half then its ridiculous if it goes to the title winner with their resources.

Rightfully so. A decent game but no goals & not a huge amount of goal-mouth action.

Why do we have a right back playing at left back? Perhaps its because he is a bloody good player at left back and isn''t really being played out of position.

A right footed, left-back was ideal up against Sturridge who likes to cut in on his left.

1 game at a time, the league position looks after itself.

We didn''t score against Manchester United so they were in fact the 3rd side to shut us out.

Baseball can be analysed much more statistically because it is more of an individual sport within a team sport if you get my drift.

I''m not sure Fox has the legs to play on the outside of a 3. I think he had to come in because we need to keep the ball but the same can apply to Wes. There is a lack of pace in the side today, so if thats the case then Wes has to play for his creativity.

Looks like a flat 4-4-2 to me. Pilks, Fox, Johnson, Surman. Bit of protection in front of the defence but I''d like to see Wes in there though, perhaps behind a striker or wide, just for his guile.

That article is full of errors. Says we play a 4-4-2 with Bennett/Pilks & Holt/Morison but I think we''ve only played that system once when we matched up against Stoke 2nd game. We cleverly use the channels at times but thats hardly a long ball game.

Will always be remember for his late brace against Southend. A victim of our success really. He was a bit raw when we signed him but coming off the bench he was a real handful; fairly quick, good feet & liked to take people on, a good foil to Holt, Martin & Hoolahan. He was ahead of Cody McDonald. I don''t think he''ll ever be a 20 goal a season man but playing off somebody he can drop into pockets off space and create. Should stand-out in League 2.

I think I saw on his twitter that he follows Rangers, although he is a Carlisle fan. Celtic & Rangers are massive clubs, but that league is poor to say the least, St Johnstone away or regular games in front of 30k+, home & away.

Pattison wasn''t a bad player. Would have been a decent squad with his versatility & engine but he was in a poor side. Delph is a good signing, I assume to appease unhappy fans. However its short-termism to say the least. Leeds are one of the few clubs to make a profit outside the Premier League & its parachute payments, they shouldn''t be relying on free transfers and loans.

So who do we let go? Rudd or Steer? We obviously couldn''t have 2 young keepers ahead of them in the pecking order

Dodgy rumour doesn''t even come close. He is 1 of the key players for Borussia Dortmund & I think is now a regular in the German national team. Not sure how we could take a key player from 1 of Europe''s biggest clubs ahead of other European giants.

Until we''re an established Premier League club with a deep squad, there isn''t a lot to gain from being in the Europa League. If you don''t want it to impact on your league form, you effectively have to make 6/7 changes to your 11 from game to game, almost playing a 2nd string in Europe as Stoke have done. We''re not able to do that...yet. We can make changes to the side but thats to play various systems, we would lose the flexibility to do so if certain players have played in Kiev/Belgrade on a Thursday. There is a limited financial reward for qualifying also & ridiculously, you play more games than if you qualify for the CL. No doubt some will say, I''m crazy for not wanting to play in Europe but at the moment it would be a burden on the clubs playing resources that we don''t need. The negatives & risks of damaging our league performances are too great

Russell Martin was P''boro captain at 1 stage also. Lambert simply signs players with the right character & attitude, hence many have been captains at former clubs.

I''ve been calling for a midfielder this window but a more disciplined player to control things from slightly deeper but I''m happy with Howson. He''s young, talented player with a great engine. I''m not sure Crofts has really made the step-up, he covers a lot of ground but 1 of our weaknesses this season has been our composure on the ball & retention of the ball.

That''s from last week.

The ability to supply others with goal-scoring opportunities (assist) is valuable. Obviously completing passes are important but at the end of the day you need to create chances. When looking at the assist statistic it can be misleading, as can most statistics. The rate is obviously dependent on whether team-mates are putting away the chances supplied. People are far too lazy with statistics, throwing them around without the proper context & research

I always rated him & definitely think Lambert would get him doing a job for the team, as he has everybody on the books at the moment. However we should be looking to add players better than we already have, I don''t think Clingan is.
