bluelady added 10:18 - Mar 13 always like Darren O Dea, not as a left back but no idea why we didnt keep him as a centre back, def better than what we have. As for Grant, thats something you dont see in one sentence often, Grant and team of the week! Well done to him anyway, has come back fighting for his place in the team and shown what he can do, just a shame after a good start to his town career he has been so poor.

Eggyblues added 12:27 - Mar 13 Agreed heady, Darren O'dea was pretty poor. I didn't see too much difference between him and Delaney. I wouldn't mind having Andy Lonergan next season as our number 1!

MathieandMarshall added 12:53 - Mar 13 very rare occasion this but i have to disagree with Blue Lady!! Darren O'Dea really wasn't good when we had him.

jas0999 added 13:28 - Mar 13 Agree with Bluelady's post. Excellent start to his career at PR - had a great first year, but has struggled since. Still, like Roy, PJ really seems to rate him! He did well at the weekend and really bailed us out from what was a rather inept performance until the penalty. Contrats to him for that.

bluelady added 13:38 - Mar 13 dont forget we played Darren O Dea at left back all the time, square peg in a round hole. I still think he is a decent CB.....

AlanMahon2011 added 14:18 - Mar 13 Darren O'Dea is a decent player!! If he weren't he wouldn't be playing for Leeds week in week out (Who I remind you are better than us)

Leoipswich added 14:29 - Mar 13 Don't have a go at me for saying this but leadbitter was not thAt good, one goal was a penalty and were dominated in midfield most of the game

Garv added 15:16 - Mar 13 There's one of our players in the team of the week almost weekly now, great to see.

bluelady added 15:24 - Mar 13 Garv i was thinking that and with Martin up for player of the month, chosing a player of the year is becoming harder and harder (last year was bad enough with non of our own players deserving it!). This year too many are beginning to shine! (Edwards for me though, for being a good captain, the skill he has on the ball wearing his heart on his sleeve and for never once using being played out of position as an excuse!) For me Player Of Year isnt just the best performer but the person who has given the most to the club........

Sospiri added 19:23 - Mar 13 Can't you get a new picture of Leadbitter? The one you always use makes him look both grumpy and dim.

chepstowblue added 19:07 - Mar 14 Takes a lot of professional pride to turn in those kind of performances for a club whos more retarded fans booed him onto the pitch a fortnight ago.Hes a better advert for this club than those morons and wed be a poorer side without him.
