“A good point” said Daniel Farke,  “ Is Keir Starmer managing Leeds now” replied one of the readers. Got to agree. Listened on the radio, Jon  Newsome not happy with the Firpo/Solomon combo, Firpo constantly playing balls into tight areas for Solomon who’s coming short all the time. Got to agree Jon, been saying it for weeks. Doesn’t see what Piroe offers at centre forward, same problem, dropping short all the time, condensing play, making it easy for defenders, not putting himself about. Got to agree Jon, been saying it all season. As one of the posters said earlier on this season, Piroe is like a traffic cone most of the time. If Farke knew what was good for him he’d bite the bullet and play Bamford up top, at least give him the game time to be a viable option. Not enough mongrel in the team when we come to places like this noted Newsome, only Ampadu and Bogle getting into people hard enough, can’t disagree. Wish Rodon would stop poncing about with his arms behind his back off balance when he’s trying to challenge someone, don’t wonder he didn’t stop the cross for the goal. And as for Tanaka tackling like a 6 year old girl for the second week running….either get stuck in or get off the pitch. Only real threat coming from Dan James said Newsome….been the case in far too many matches. Over to you Daniel.

I played a 4 or 5 games for Yorkshire Amateurs maybe around 72 and if memory serves me right I`m sure we won a Cup of some description that year. Memory not as good as it used to be!Don`t suppose you ever played with an Ian Green who was at St Kevs at the time?

No Chapy can’t remember Ian Green,  although it’s nearly 50 years back lol. St Kev’s though, that brings back some memories. It was just up the road from John Smeatons really, and was a High school back then. John Smeatons already had a few problems when I was there, but it went on to become one of the worst schools in Leeds and ended up on Channel 4’s dispatches programme. I was happy to blame it on schools like St Kev’s, because we got all the lads who had been excluded from there. It wasn’t a reciprocal deal though, because St Kev’s wouldn’t accept non Catholics back then, so we couldn’t dump our wrong un’s on them. It led to Smeatons becoming a bit of a one way dumping ground. At least we gave the world Josh Warrington, not a bad claim to fame.

Btw, which school did you go to Chapy ? I’m assuming you’re from Chapeltown or Chapel Allerton ?

said all along sheff utd were scraping results and it couldn't last.
and it hasnt
