Cooper is so mistake prone and causes the other defenders problems and affects their and the fans confidence. I really cannot see us winning the play offs without Pontus in the team. That means he must play Monday and must get booked (and so miss the other 3 games) - then we can play Ayling at centre back with Taylor and Berardi at full back - that should be solid enough to prevent losing at Burton and Wigan and beat Norwich , and that should get us in the play offs and a fit and rested Pontus can come back in. Knowing our luck the FL will decide that Pontus booking on Monday is 'illegal' and give him a 6 match man. Does anyone know what happened to the 2 spanish club (?) players who deliberately got booked so they could play in the Champs League final ? I do think in some ways the rules should be changed so the ban does not count for the play offs but goes into the next season ? Although the play offs should be an embarrassment played behind closed doors in the dark , two teams not good enough for the top two, the FL have made it into a real cup final type game, at Wembley with fireworks and a band etc (I was well annoyed pre Doncaster with the razzmatazz around the game and then to get a trophy - what is that all about ?) So this makes it a really big memorable game in the minds of the players and one, like a cup final, they want to play in Dave . Only downside is the Pontus booking. Now one booking from a 3 game ban. How to handle that one becomes ever trickier. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
