Leeds are a mid-table Championship team. The fatal error was the keeper dropping one into the net right at the start of the second half to be honest, terrible mistake and a real confidence killer.Quote:

There are good Premier League sides who've lost by similar scorelines this year.
I actually thought at the time they were in League 1, I look at the championship table and must have missed then
or screwed up some other way. 5-1 is a bit poor for the Championship but then Chelsea are a good team.
Rafael has previous on having games of two halves, when he came back from 3-0 down in the Champions league final.
If a guy called Barry Green ever comes along he will be an instant cult hero.Quote:

I watched some of the game and Green wasn't up to much, whatever he did was okay but was largely an anonymous figure. He was playing at right midfield, late in the 2nd half he was more central. When Chelsea moved the ball forward they could easily bypass Leeds' midfield.
The Leeds' team is bit like Reservoir of Dogs with the players Green, Gray, White and Brown.
And Paul Green stuck in the middle with Diouuuuuuuuuuuuuu-f.Quote:

Another goal for Paul The Power Green, putting Leeds 1-0 up at Andy Reid's Nottingham Forest. They've just been tonked 4-2 though, with a consolation coming in injury time.
How did he play against Spurs today?
dunno, there is another Irish lad playing Aidy White both got low/average ratings in the Guardian 6.9 for white 7.0 for Green,
ratings ranged from 6.9 to 7.9
I think Warnock plays Green on the wing, indeed Sky Sports shows that.
Great result for Leeds though
Update rating have changed (swapped) now Green has 6.9 and White 7.
Aidy White is supposed to have a pit of pace according to the forum, well according to some anyway, others laughed at the idea!!
Interesting comment here on White
He must have some pace if he is faster than Bale!!! Does he have a thread here?Quote:
to say that spurs had their reserves out is a bit of a joke bale Lennon Parker akotto Dempsey and a few more and as for bale bless him switching sides because Aidy white had to much pace for him mot well done leeds and I wish spurs all the luck in the prem as they are one of the only honest clubs up there
Just wanted to say well played Paul Green last night.
Gets a lot of undeserved criticism in various forums.
I'd rather have a Paul Green that will turn up when requested than these guys who retired in their mid twenties or these guys with imaginary injuries whenever it suits them.
Well said. Very good 45 minutes and helped turn the tide a bit. He is not as bad as a lot of people make out which I think is a throw back to the time when he was getting a game instead of McCarthy. He won't pull up any trees but is a useful Championship standard midfielder who will come when asked and not take the huff when dropped from the squad (as he was) or abuse the manager on Twitter.
I have never been a fan of Green but he played well last night.
Credit where credit is due.
just to throw a dash of reality out there, he has played very well in friendlies before. It is in the cut and thrust of competitive games that he has been found severely lacking.
Point taken about commitment to the jersey though. Very admirable.
Have to agree with above points. Never been a fan but the lad impressed me last nigt.
To be fair to Green he plays a role he's unfamiliar with for us. He's more of attacking box to box midfielder for his club, at least he was with Derby anyway. I don't think his competitive performances were really that bad outside of the night against Russia where everybody was pretty poor. If I remember right he mixed up the losing of possession and winning it back in the away games against Armenia and Slovakia. I think there was every chance he would have improved with more games, which sadly hasn't been the case with Glenn Whelan over the last five years. I'm not saying he's the best option we have, I just think the dismay at the very sound of his name in unjustified.Quote:

Would he make it into the next squad? maybe if one of them (Andrews, Whelan McCarthy Meyler) gets injured and Gibson is still hurting.
I'd have to say, he made a case to be in ahead of Whelan.

Green signs for Ipswich; could be involved today.
he's on the bench for this afternoon's game VS Barnsley
Super Paul Green puts Ipswich 2-1 up at home to Bournemouth and, as things stand, Ipswich are in the playoff spots.
Very important goal by Green to give Ipswich a 2-1 lead against Bournemouth. It moves Ipswich into the final playoff spot as things stand.
Whatever Charlie!
I'm a bigger Paul Green fan than you. I just proved it!Quote:

Super Paul Green scores a header from a Stephen Hunt cross to put Ipswich 2-1 up against Sheffield Wednesday, but it's one game too late for them to make the playoffs.

Don't knock it, the money's not in the game anymore, players are struggling to get clubs these days.Quote:

Didn't realise he's 33, thought he was younger
He was still in his 20's when this thread was last used. :)
This journeyman's journey's next stop is Crew Alex after Oldham set him free.
