What a load of absolute patronising turd.
We signed an England BR & he's been garbage what part of any gameplan is that exactly Mr Bennett?
You dont need to be a GF winning Coach nor have numerous State of Origin apps to see what a poor signing he's been.
Also as paying our hard earned to watch this type of average player continually produce dross performances our opinion is worth quite a bit if the Club want to continue to fill those big shiny new stands & those pricey Corporate boxes.

Lets just take a step back and have a breather eh? can we rein in the name calling on here before we need to escalate it any further.

Can I also remind you gentlemen that circumnavigation of the swear filter is against the AUP that you all signed up to when using this site.

That being said...

A subject as divisive as Ferres on here is always going to be "lively" just keep the name calling to a minimum if you please.

Good job no one asked me my opinion

This is were us speckies get carried away we think we no better than the coaches
Id do this id do that ,this player is crap that player is crap .ive said it before what are your credentials other than being a supporter ,being a coach of an un14 team means nothing or you once coached an un8s side .we as speckies arnt qualified to pick this side or say this should be done that should be done we are nobodys who actually think this forum is taken serious by leeds officials.
Well im sorry we are just talking bull to each other thinking we no best when in theory we dont ,as i say there is about 10 members who think they no it all and we should listen to were leeds are going wrong ...there is a saying if a coach listened to the fans he would soon be sat with them.
We judge players wen we dont no what game plan or instruction they have been given. We say are forwards are crap ,they will be if your halfs and hooker are .
We say are halfs and hooker are crap , they will be if are forwards are crap its swings and round abouts who plays well but you need a full team all playing well to achieve any thing ,and if for what ever reason a player is under performing this has a knock on effect to another player who will just get abused by fans who carnt see the bigger picture ...we only have opinions and they arnt the same as professional coaches .remember how did every player get to were they are today if they carnt play think about it .
Also remember some off us havnt even played the game but think and say how it should be done ,and to the players who never made it speckies, there is a reason you didnt go further, and the lads that are pro who you watch every week there is a reason they went further .
Just a note .ive enjoyed brett ferres company and in my opinion he is a fine gentleman , so again just your opinion on im but in mine hes nothing you portray..lets just watch and support are team without the slagging off of players ..


Ie.Great example above ...Didnt want im in the 1st place ....
There you go ,who are you to think your opinion should have been asked,your opinion is worthless you are a nobody and ill go as far to say i wonder have you ever played .

Its a fans forum you hypocritical nugget, telling everyone not to have an opinion while telling everyone yours...opinions and views are the whole point of this place, even ones different to yours..believe it or not!

All fair enough and he must offer a fair bit behind the scenes. We are obviously keen to keep some experience in the camp for the younger ones to learn from and that’s fine.

However Ferres is too limited for first grade at Leeds right now in terms of his output. He’s not done enough for some time, and is especially poor in his discipline, which he has total control over and responsibility for. His propensity to give penalties away puts the whole team on the back foot. He is technically pretty solid in D and he does bring some fire on the other hand; which we also lack, but some of the stuff he concedes is just slack.

If Ward is fit, Ferres doesn’t get in the 17 for me, he’s be behind Ward, Martin, Merrin, probably Mellor too.

If he’s not on stupid money, can stay fit and help the younger/fringe players in reserves with occasional 1st grade cover I wouldn’t be too bothered. But isn’t that why we have Donaldson too...?

In further thoughts does anyone else think that this next year will be make or break for Sutcliffe and Cam Smith..?

I think unless there's a massive improvement in Sutcliffe and Smith neither will get a contract extension.

Disappointment.

Re: 2020 | Squad talk : Fri Oct 25, 2019 4:55 pm  

Smith needs to get fit, properly fit. He just doesn’t look in condition to play SL if you ask me, but that can be said about a few of our squad.

He has all the tools to be a very good player, but I worry a little that he’s missing the application hence the lack of fitness.

Got to agree FS and ill add im surprised with CS because he was head and shoulders above in the u16 & u19's both in skill & consistency.
Sutty just hasnt kicked on i do partly blame that on been picked in so many different positions & playing the whole of 2016 with no pre-season & no real rehab after a serious knee injury.
I can see Walters Trout Mellor Muizz(if he plays 13) all overtaking these 2 then throw in Merrin Ward(if he stays fit) & even Donaldson those 2 have a hell of a job to get in the 17.
