Knowing our luck, Pontus will try to get booked on Monday, but will get sent off instead.

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
