    No we won’t, Bolton will see us off comfortably on Tuesday.

    Evatt's post match comments about his goalkeeper needing to 'man up' aren't going to do the lads confidence much good. Let's take advantage of this and make sure we put him under pressure from the get go.

    Agree with your sentiments but we don't have a forward line capable of applying that pressure
    Probably turn out to bee a confidence booster for their keeper

    His manager has publicly blamed him for 2 of the goals on Tuesday and the one yesterday and said if it wasn't for him, they'd have won the game. Those sort of comments made publicly will either make or break him. Our front line is weak yes, but so apparently is Bolton's last line of defence - if we don't/ can't take advantage of that, then what hope is there left?

    Probably yes, but it's a gift in terms of a motivational tool if used correctly. Unfortunately McCall probably won't have Adobe flash player installed on his tablet so won't have seen the comments.

    Sadly I agree with you. 7 games in and I have yet to see any partnerships forming and that is down to changing the formation just about every game. The players looked like strangers yesterday.

    It all comes down to leadership to me. Right from the top.

    I've not commented on Rhodes in a negative context nor will. The new CEO will hopefully benefit the club as I'm sure Rhodes has during these turbulent times.

    As for Rupp... Rupp out

    I'm with you on winning 3 games on the bounce. It would really be a tonic in these times both at the football club and beyond.
    I do tend to agree with your character statement. Not overly thought of that within this squad, which is a worry.

    That last statement is a nail on the head one. For your information, I've gone for a 4-0 defeat within the prediction league

    But that era has gone and come on, I'm sure you was as happy as most when we had a new ownership in place. I can't forget I did. Right or wrong to sell to R & R, it seemed right at the time.

    Yes agree at face value, but Rhodes is far from free of criticism, he is setting himself up as our CEO and recruits these people, and runs this failing club. 20 years of decline with Rhodes hanging round like a bad smell.

    The John Kane show is on Radio Sheffield but not Radio Leeds any longer - who knows why? Agree with the comments on city btw.
    Agree regarding AOC.
    Why did he boot the ball out when their player was injured - it was not an head injury. He should have played on. A minute later the replacement scores and we are 2 nil down.

    Cooke said in the week that it is taking him time to adjust to his new more attacking role this season. How much time does he need? He had all pre season and now we are 7 games into the season but he's still struggling?

    Just noticed we have a full time "performance analyst" in Robbie Bloodworth
    Would love to receive a copy of his report on this game
