have we ever replaced Nigel martyn?
we've had some decent keepers but never a real quality one

Casper Ankregan, Kasper Schmeichel, and Rob Green were excellent for the level we were at. Neil Sullivan was also OK, but apart from those, the rest have been dreadful.

We let Ella Caprile go a couple of years ago, and now he's starting in Serie A and considered one of the best young keepers in Europe. He'd probably be our number one now if we'd have kept him.

I said on here before the season kicked off I'd have gone for the Icelandic lad who went from Rotherham to stoke for £1m.
his stats are among the best at this level.

Trafford was excellent last night and like the Burnley defender said that he has no worries if he makes a mistake with a goalkeeper like him behind him to clean up the mistake.
I only watched the second half but Sunderland looked good and should/could have scored 4 goals in that second half.
Fe is a cracking signing for them.

Seems to be the Leeds way.
Why make things easy when we can do it the hard way.

I wonder if fans of the other clubs think the same? guess we're all pessimists at heart

Haha no I think you might have misunderstood me mate.
We`re 2 up and get a player sent off to make it hard for us to win the game only to come back with 10 men and win it.
Had we not had a player sent off we would have won the easy way is what I meant.

Interesting to read that Sheff United are looking to strengthen even further by trying to get Oxlade Chamberlain and Brereton Diaz in along with Tom Cannon for 13 million.
Whilst the likes of OC might be past his best he will certainly bring some experience to the team something I do think we lack.
