Agree with everything you've said
Pugh certainly ain't worth spending 500k on
Am surprised Connolly hasn't got more stick because he was horrible against burnley, really was
I don't think we are that far off.
The obvious weakness is still the defence. A couple of experienced good defenders (RB and CB) to play with white and lees.
I'd be happy with that!
Who was worse Connolly or White who was guilty for the Goal? But Aidy White is Leeds academy so get less stick.
Unbelivable- Connolly was our best defender last season
Connolly has already been dropped once this season. I think RB is one place we should be looking at strengthening.
Kelly
Connolly did play well last season but missed the last chunk of the season
And Connolly hasnt had any stick and he was very poor against burnley or you saying he wasnt and why was White at fault for the goal
Lees was out of position at RB and we drastically improved when Connolly came in at RB and Lees went to CB.
Connolly came back 9 games ago 5 wins 2 draws and 2 defeats- Blackpool ( a one off) and Birmingham which we should have won a game we dominated.
White should have closed player down and let him deliver a perfect cross without any challenge- very poor defending.
Connolly is one of the best defenders we have at the club
But that's like putting Frankie Cocozza on stage with Jedward and saying he's one of the best singers on there
Kelly agree
I don't mind Connolly at all, I just thought he was very poor against burnley, don't you agree
I was just saying surprised more hasn't been said about that performance
I think we do need another right back incase hes injured
Kelly
I think you should look closer to where Sam was, for the club
Your just anti White because you have this insane idea Pugh should be left back and White should be winger
Even though White has been Brillant at left back and Pugh isn't a full back
Connolly is one of the best defenders we have at the club
But that's like putting Frankie Cocozza on stage with Jedward and saying he's one of the best singers on there
......
White wasn't at fault for the Burnley goal Sam was, White was marking 2 men.
Also, one thing you aren't considering with Connolly is his partnership with Snoddy, when Connolly plays Snoddy tends to play well.
How do people rate Frazer Richardson? Is he better than Connolly ?
Connolly and White were both poor in the Burnley game- White should have closed the player down to not give him the freedom of the left wing.
I like Aidy White very much but see him a much better player going forward than defending-
MOT
I can't believe what I'm hearing! White is getting stick for 1 mistake and Connolly for 1 bad game!! But when Simon Grayson has a bad game you people won't say a bad word and it's never ever his fault in a million years!
As for signings, iv wanted a GOOD centre back for 3 years and not got one, Kissa was nearly there and maybe without his injury problems would be class, a good experienced centre back is a must if we are to push for promotion.
Pugh, a good central defender and Somma and Lonergan back.
That would do it.
Thing is Kelly, White apart from his pace hasn't the skills to be a winger at the moment
This might change but his development will be best served at full back
And it was Sam not whites fault and think most agree with this
As for the Burnley goal it was both Sam and Whites fault, no communication between them, but White has been brilliant this season, Connolly I don't think needs replacing yet, but certainly isnt PL standard by any means
Eric why on earth would u want us to waste 500k on Pugh? I bet you were one that was glad we signed Collins for a 6 figure sum!
White has been a great hit at LB this year but was responsible for Goal he is the defender not Lloyd Sam is the winger.- we have improved with Connolly coming in at RB but more importantly Tom Lees at CB. Pugh does cover for White at LB and this was evident in the Burnley game.
My Team tomorrow
............McCarthy
Connolly Lees Kisnorbo White
............Clayton
Snodgrass...................Pugh
..............Howson
.........Becchio McCormack
McCormacks biggest fan - Formerly Beckfords biggest
I think he's a decent buy.
I don't say you have to agree with it, the OP asks what I would do if I was manager. He doesn't ask me what I would do if you were manager! It's an opinion.
Scenario
If Connolly had left the winger run unchallenged and cross a peach of a pass for the Burnley goal would we be blaming Snodgrass?- do not think so-
So why is Sam and not White at fault for this?
Kelly
That's not how it was, Sam was way infield and the ball was crossed from never the half way line then byline
You need to watch it again
Move on lads last week was a great day out at Burnley lovely weather fab atmosphere respect from both sets to Adamson & no matter who did what they made up for it & got the points, Snoddy was terrific & his gestures to us were from a man who wants to be a Leeds legend & will be watch him go tommorow, 3-1 Snodders, Clayton & thumping header from corner Lees!!
M.O.T.
White was at fault for being out of position, Sam was at fault for the goal.
