I'm not sure it's fitness, I just don't think he's got what it takes anymore. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 August 2011 09:23 To: [email protected]; Kitching, Mark; Leeds list; Leeds List Subject: Re: [LU] Quick Thoughts on Last night Parker has never been good enough as a left back - he was responsible for both their goals. The first he was fast asleep and the second whilst a good finish he just didn't follow his man. His general play was also very poor. Get rid. I thought O'Brien looked like an old man. Credit for Grayson for dragging him off when he was obviously struggling but surely his fitness should have been assessed prior to the start of the season. 4-5-1 with McCormack doesn't work - in fact take the McCormack bit out of that statement , it just doesn't work, especially at home. I realise Grayson's options are limited especially with Paynter being injured (Injured !!!!???? - he only came on for 30 mins - Jeeez) ... but this makes Grayson's comments about not needing another striker a bit strange. Positives - I thought we did take control of the midfield later on when they ran out of steam but with Clayton we have a good, industrious midfielder ... credit to Dave N for spotting this long before any of us did. I thought Nunez was lively but looked pretty poor at times and McCormack only came alive after he's scored, he looked lost before that. I'm worried about our keeper. Good win though , especially when you look at other results. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: "Kitching, Mark" <[email protected]>; Leeds list <[email protected]>; Leeds List <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, 10 August, 2011 8:23:23 Subject: Re: [LU] Quick Thoughts on Last night Lees, what an impact. Was telling that an earlier cross sailed over mccormack's head. Wasn't convinced by clayton on sat as everyone seemed to be but thought he was good last night. Also connolly played some decent passes. O'Brien is hopeless, parker wasnt great but let's hope this is match fitness Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: "Kitching, Mark" <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 06:46:13 To: LEEDSLIST<[email protected]> Subject: [LU] Quick Thoughts on Last night Thought our passing and movement was brilliant and the midfield as a whole performed magnificently last night, Clayton again looked very good, not sure what Brown actually does though. Unfortunalty given Bradford were packing the defence McCormack and Nunez looked pretty toothless (and THAT miss!? Wow!) and the good work through midfield fizzled out on the edge of the Bradford area. What let us down badly was our defensive frailties again, tonight's culprits being Parker and ... again... O'Brien, I think Grayson's post match comment of "There were experienced players out of position making mistakes" could only have been aimed at two players given he subbed them off. Bromby and Lee's introductions made a massive difference and finally underpinned the good work we were doing in midfield. Mark K.
