Agreed. This is the one blot on Allardyce's copybook so far. This was pure management failure. It's completely within his control to decide who takes the penalties. It seems obvious to have a list of penalty takers in the first team squad, with any penalty to be taken by the highest on the list who's on the field at the time. That person should should not have been Bamford, whose confidence is clearly shot. Big Sam should have ensured that any penalty be taken by Rodrigo (if on the field), followed by (perhaps) Greenwood and/or Harrison and/or Gnonto. I know Sam's had a thousand things to fix in a very short space of time, but virtually any Leeds supporter could have told him Bamford shouldn't be taking that penalty. Sean

He will play next game as he's the only one we can aim for upfront in Allardyce's formation. Think Big Sam should take some responsibility for the penalty - he's quoted as saying something like; "I just left it as it was, if Rodrigo had wanted to take it he should have grabbed the ball" I suspect Bamford was only on pens as Rodrigo hadnt been starting and if Big Sam is big into data as he says, he'd know that Bamfords record is poor from the spot Matt ------ Original Message ------ From: "John Lee via Leedslist" <leedslist@gn.apc.org> To: "n...@6haroldplace.co.uk" <n...@6haroldplace.co.uk> Cc: "Leeds List 2010" <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Sunday, 14 May, 23 At 18:15 Subject: Re: [LU] Twitter & Bamford It has always been the case that we have a sizeable minority of utter scum as ‘fans’. The obsessional herd-hatred towards Bamford, Orta, Meslier, Rodrigo amongst others, coming mainly from grown men, makes you wonder just how damaged they are! Or just plain dumb! Like you say Nick, it’s just football! There is no point in pretending they’re not football fans - they are, but irrational haters, and they need banning from Leeds United asap.

These daft bastards were also singing for Gary Speed during the match. It is a game of football.
