I can't believe Paynter is injured and out for a couple of weeks. I think he's just about finished when it comes to Leeds cos no doubt the donkey will be back by then, I was hoping he might score a few alongside McCormack and prove to Grayson that 4-4-2 is an option. He's running out of time.

I have never been impressed with O'B - I did not think he did enough on loan to warrant being taken on full time - he did not shore up the defence the same way Sodje or Naylor had done when on loan, rather he was the (almost) ever present leader in an awful defence last season.2. The fans have had enough, both of the defence being so sloppy (Dom Matteo calls it right) and with the lack of investment in that part of the team. Yes it is a bit bad that one player has maybe become the scapegoat but fans are at the end of their tether with the 'Bates Years' and when that happens other, maybe innocent people, also get stick. As it stands the fans are mainly trying to get behind Grayson and 'the team' but trying to let Bates know they are sick of him. Hence the "we all love Leeds but hate Ken Bates chants" To a degree O'Brien was a victim of that on Tuesday but it is hard to defend his performances.Other players, Connollly and Paynter are also likely to feel the wrath of the crowd soom Dave --- On Fri, 12/8/11, Dr Michael Benjamin <m...@myray.com> wrote: There have been very few occasions when I understand supporters turning on their own players. The jeering of Andy O’Brien on Tuesday night was not one of them. I felt for him and I really wonder what the fans who barracked him hoped to achieve. It wasn’t his best game for Leeds United and I’m sure he’d accept that, but applauding his substitution against Bradford City was totally wrong. He’s a good, honest professional who’s shown before that he can bring something to our defence. I don’t doubt that he’ll prove it again. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it) _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
