Re: Early Leavers-Again Im afraid!

I dont mind people leaving early or pushing past me on my end seat to go to the toilet or get a pie.

What irritates me is those that do so paying no attention to where the ball is. Why cant they wait until there is a break in play therefore not upsetting the view of the action for everyone they pass

Re: Cornet - left midfield, right midfield or up front?

He is our highest and most likely scorer. When playing wide he has been fairly anonymous ie Leeds away after Jayrod and Vydra came on and in both the last two home games. He should play supporting Weghorst to keep him interested and in range of goal. This allows McNeil to play wide left and might he...
