Leeds was an ideal chance to pick our reserve/junior no.6, (as LEEDS had been doing and he was outstanding and got MOM) but no, LR picked DW. A player we know and LR knows can't play that role for poop and it showed with everyone saying Sneyd was overloaded and with no help in the halves. Justified criticism of LR imho.
How have Leeds results been going on the whole with junior no.6?surely thats more of an indication.

Please pardon the pun, but you do see things only in the extremes of black and white.
These are not facts at all, they are your opinions. Very clouded opinions at that, which you choose to have a negative / Anti Radford slant on.
If you consider Washbrook has only has one good game this season, then you are not watching the games. If you really believe Washbrook as been "very poor" in some games, then you either have a personal dislike of him as a player or you are not watching the games.
Either way, its all just your opinion and not facts.
Leeds played Lilley in the halves basically because they had nobody else. Are you really advocating playing a junior or reserve player at a ground we had not won at in 9 years in torrential conditions when there are experienced first team players available? And you question Radfords coaching ability!
I appreciate this doesn't fit in with your anti Radford agenda. But you really need to open your eyes, appreciate the effort being put in and significant improvement in playing style and stop being so monotonously boring with this negative stance you have. Your lack of objectivity is overwhelming.

Would be a shame if Mini doesn't make it, thought he was great against Wakey despite a few defensive errors. Like you said though, Hadley can come in and be a good replacement. Our squad depth this year, especially in the forwards, is superb, and probably the main reason for our league position.

He won't make it, last year I would have been worried but this year we still have Maun and Pritchard. Also the fringe players benefitted from gametime last year and can now can step in.
Thanks to investment from Pearson and the youth we now have a squad as good as any other SL team IMO.

Apart from Washy (according to the senior member of the anti-Radford society).
