I was taking that for granted. Even with promotion, I think he needs a new contract. If we don't get promoted, he's a gonner. Agreed. I was taking that for granted.

Similar to the Beckford situation (and yes Leeds can afford him if they really want him), there are going to be a lot of bids for Snodgrass in the Summer. 1) Under no circumstance should he be sold and 2) Get him on a better contract now!!

Lubo needs a good long run to get confidence and he'll be fine. Whether he gets that is another matter. I still think we chop and change too much. Casper must be doing his nut in, he never knows who out of Paddy, Naylor, Lubo, Crowe, Hughes, Bromby, White he's going to have in front of him. Seems to change from game to game. I think Becchio looks like he was a player struggling with form before but he's looking like he's coming into some sort of form and with Beckford back, then that's a recipe for goals. I also like McSheffrey and Grella is looking like he's itching to play also. Just a shame that he doesn't get the time on the pitch I think he deserves. It's just the defence and the midfield that need to start working better. Bradley Johnson has gone completely off the boil (again!), Gradel's a bit mad and Doyle doesn't look too great to me - I'd rather have a regular partnership with Jonny and Kilkenny in midfield. Oh and by the way, we now know why we got Shane Higgs so cheap. He's permanently crocked. If we'd have flogged Casper then we would have been screwed. I hope we didn't give him a long term contract.

Surely this would have been an ideal occasion to give him his head. Shame, since he is clearly a very skillful player. If I were Grella I think I’d be considering my future at Elland Road.

I felt sorry for him in the lone striker role. Becchio gives his all for the team when played in his best position. I felt sorry for him in the lone striker role.

Lately I have been watching these cup games and thinking it's better if we are out of this and concentrating on our number 1 goal - promotion. Once the game starts it all changes, I don't ever want to see Leeds lose!!! And yes, a day out at Wembley would have been great, even though we are usually crap when we get there! So now after Spurs and Carlisle, lets crack on and get our marvellous support behind the team, see you all at Orient!! MOT Another good post TSS.

Nayls hasn't been as solid this season after his injured start. Wouldn’t it be great if we had Rui back (at last seasons level) alongside Paddy?

He rarely lets us down when he has some support. A bit unfair on Becchio as he was on his own up front.
