After McKeown's sending off and a 3 match ban ?


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

No Russel will be able to cover for 1 match I'll be shocked if it doesn't get over turned


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I'd have thought Russell is a decent enough stand-in for a few weeks with Battersby on the bench!

Professional fouls are usually a one game ban, I believe.

We don't need a keeper and we won't sign one,

Russell is more than capable and we won't qualify for an emergency loan and it would be pointless to sign somebody until end of season when he won't play, rememeber there are no short tern loans now

It's a one match ban for denying a goalscoring opportunity and they'll just put Battersby on the bench on Tuesday, so no.

As already said, keeper position is fine but we desperately need a striker.

A striker is surely priority, I'm fed up watching the EFL on Quest on a Saturday night and I lose count of the number of goals scored by ex Town players it's unbelievable especially as they never did it for us. You watch tonite and see the goals from ex town, oh and one on MOTD aswell

Depends how the ref saw it. Macca won the ball so it could be a three match ban if interpreted as a both feet off the ground dangerous and high lunge. Not saying Dean got it right, and it'll have no chance of getting overturned by the panel..

The whole point of paying Russell's wages as reserve keeper is for situations like this, so no we shouldn't be signing a keeper

Well that tells me we did not get the best out of the players we had that was a fault of our system, not the players.

It will be interesting to see how Matt and Podge do against us in a couple of weeks.

So, do we know if McKeown's red card is a one or three match ban?

Surely Sam has to play on Tues at FGR - he will be relishing the thought and is more than capable.

No doubt Sam Russel will deputise through Maccas absence and I for one actually rate him, from what I have seen of him he distributes the ball quicker and likes to feed out the centre backs/mid fielder's rather than hoof the ball, probably more down the fact that he doesn't particularly get much get that much distant from dead ball or drop kick situations..

I admire your optimism but as much as I love Macca that was a sending off all day long.

Stick with Russell in goal 1 game or 3.. He's a good keeper with plenty of experience and some of the loan keepers we have had Forecast or Kean anyone!!
