Ayling did well there v Derby but was a lot less solid at BarnsleyIt would also be a real (final?) kick in the teeth for Cooper if a right back were chosen ahead of him. I think we should know with a few games to go if we have any chance of automatic promotion or are cemented in the play offs and can either rest Janson / Bartley so they cannot get a cumulative ban or let them pick up a 'tactical' booking so the ban is served prior to the play offs. Whatever, we do need Janson to stop getting the needless bookings - arguing with ref / over celebrating goals etc (I have no problem with mis-timed tackles or deliberate 'taking one for the team' / professional foul type ones) Dave

If you assume the 3 behind Wood are Pedraza - Hernandez - Roofe, you then have some real pace / game changers on the bench in Sacko, Doukara and Barrow. The sight of that bench will scare a few tiring full backs! But as you say, if Wood pulls a hamstring etc, we're cobbling it together a bit - basically relying on Doukara or Roofe stepping into a role they've barely done all season (if you discount Antonsson - he really doesn't look cut out for lone striker duties). At centre back Bartley is 2 bookings from a 2 game ban and Jannson is 5 bookings from a 3 game ban - and they both like a challenge! We really need Cooper to step up when needed (and some fans to get off his back and support him) - or Taylor to get fit asap so we can move Ayling into the centre when needed. But either way the quality takes a real dip for some key games there. And if they get suspended at the same time we're f***ed! Centre back is a tough one to have managed to cover though - hard to get someone decent in on loan / short term when there is a real chance they'd never actually play. One of those situations you really need a decent U-23 prospect who you believe could step in. Basically from now on our priority in each match is (a) Win (b) keep Wood, Bartley, Jannson fit (c) hope Bartley and Jannson don't get booked, On Wed, Feb 1, 2017 at 12:14 PM, nat...@sky.com <nat...@sky.com> wrote: I am reasonably excited with the two signings they both appear to have genuine pace and trickery, so they should excite the crowd and as we all know pace, at any level, is a great asset. Monk has sorted the defesive unit so it is no surprise he turned his attention to attacking I am a bit surprised we did not bring in cover for Wood and / or cover at centre back but maybe the emergency loan could come into play if we need it? Promotion, either auto or more likely via play offs will depend on Wood staying fit and not hitting a long dry spell and Bartley and Janson also staying fit and not being banned when it counts. Jansons next ban will be for 3 games so we need to make sure just before play offs that either he is at least 2 bookings away from a ban or that he deliberately gets banned before the play offs start I still think that suspensions cost us the play off final v Watford (maybe clutching at straws) but the fact that Crainey, for all his faults, was unable to play due to red v Preston, meant that Blackwell moved Kilgallon to left back , where he was caught out, and Gregan at centre back * again his lack of pace meant he was a liabilty at Wembley. Also Cresswell was suspended which meant we had to play Hulse on his own up front a role more suited, due to his atheticism to Cresswell. Yes other things came into play on the day but I think those two bans cost us dear, and I worry that going into a play off final with Wood and Janson (or Bartley) missing would be another disaster Dave From: Richard Naef <rich...@triumph-computers.co.uk> To: Rob Heath <rhe...@hkis.edu.hk>; {broken-address} Richard Walker < richleed...@yahoo.co.uk.is-broken.gn.apc.org> Cc: "leedslist@gn.apc.org" <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Wednesday, 1 February 2017, 10:59 Subject: Re: [LU] final signing for window ?
