A bit harsh - I think he has done Ok since WBA game (when they did target
him)Whislt not glad to ever see him at right back (he is our 3rd choice don't
forget) I am not convinced that Shackleton , who is also not a genuine right
back, or Gotts will be any better - we need Ayling back asap -last I saw he was
on track for a January return, or Berardi but he is even further away
As for the 2 for each position idea, I think it is basically sound and a team
is unlucky if both right backs (or left backs or keepers as happened to us) are
injured at the same time. Bielsas comment was that he needed 2 fighting for a
spot and then said he preferred a third young player to an experienced one - he
referred to left back saying he had Douglas and Berardi and therefore he wanted
Pearce as back up , a youngster who would be patient, learn his trade and
hopefully step into the breach if needed, rather than Anita who would just be
hanging around the place losing interest in the game

Not glad for any Leeds player injury but glad Dallas won’t be on the pitch for

Subject: Re: [LU] More injury problems that's an awful lot of injuries this
season and makes a mockery that Bielsa only needed 2 players for each position.
He's been through 3 right backs and it's not even Christmas.
I also think Cooper and Dallas seem to be powder puff and always get injured
when the going gets tough.
I agree with you about Dallas - he has played his best football this season but
even on Saturday defensively he was poor and most of the danger comes when he's
forgotten he is playing right back.

AS well as Cooper being out for up to 6 weeks (on top of Berardi and Ayling) ,
Phil Hay has said that Dallas has a fractured foot and is out 4-6 weeks.Whilst
not the biggest Dallas fan, I do think he has done well at right back the last
2 games - he will be missed, albeit he was a weak link. Not sure who will
replace him now -with our first 3 choices absent over the Christmas period
I have seen the u23 a couple of times and Gott (sp?) has looked decent at right
back , but no idea how young / inexperienced he is. Shackleton has also played
there but it is not his natural position
No doubt all the 'experts' in the media will be trotting out the 'Bielsa trains
them too hard' nonsense even though he has already gone through each injury and
explained it is nothing to do with training ! Dallas sustained his at Bramhall
Lane and was presumably a kick / stamp of some sort
