Got to wish Dallas a speedy recovery, you could tell it was a bad one by his reaction. KP held his hand whilst the medics were dealing with it. I used to do a bit of labouring for my Dad during the school holidays and saw a bricky do his leg in between the rungs of a ladder, 40 years have passed and the thought, even today, makes me feel queezy. Shows the love between the guys.
Dallas is 31 and whilst I hope we see him back, wouldn't surprise me if he never pulls on the shirt again.
Hope he's well insured.
Time to reintroduce testimonials, seven years, nearly 250 appearances for us, never missed a premier league game.
Great servant for the club.
Mr Leeds United

Hope Dallas is ok soon, for Leeds and NI.
Awkward looking tackle.

Dallas has a very high football IQ. Would love to see
him move into coaching and then management. I think
he would've gleaned as much as anyone from MB.
Could see him being a top manager.

He would be lucky to see any game time next year.
Meaning by the time we see him again he will be the wrong side of 32.
I just can't imagine him coming back in as a first team regular in that situation.
He is going to need to be replaced for next year, and you are hardly going to bring in a player with the expectation of him being cover for dallas once he returns.
I suppose the one advantage is that if he can get back fit his football brain and versatility would mean he will always be a useful option to have in the squad

He's been phenomenal for us, Matty. Love the bloke.

Stuey is one of the major reasons we got into the PL - and I made comments pre Bielsa, that we hadnt seen the Dallas at Brentford - well he proved me wrong.

Love Dallas though we do, his recklessness has let the team down and made survival an even harder prospect. Self-destructiveness seems to be a part of this team's make-up.

Sorry to hear about this as a football fan in general. He's a very likeable footballer and I hope he recovers from this the best he can.

Agree with you Lorralorimer, this tackle was very risky and reckless on his part, am surprised Grealish did not get badly injured. think it showed Dalllas' frustration over the whole season.
