PML is also not good enough for Leeds United but I love his passion, he is really hard working to play for us, Felix is just useless.
Read again I wasn't defending his mistake, I agreed he makes them, was just pointing out saying every cross doesn't lead to a goal.
Exaggeration or fscts, i tend to go for the latter.
And that's not saying we can't get better.

Did I quote you? ;) that was addressed to all who defend him, there is no way he will be #1 in our team if we talk about the promotion.

Easy mistake to make, your comment came straight after Selby's, I must admit I thought you were replying to him directly initially :)

No problem as ANS says it immediately followed my post so I assumed it was directed at that.
For the record I agree we need to look at a new goalkeeper for next season but I will still get behind Felix or any other player) while they wear our shirt.

Yet he's had a clean sheet in 50% of his league games, maybe those sides didn't muster a single cross between them. :shock:

Not denying he's made a few mistakes (cant think of too many Championship goalkeepers that don't) and doesn't always fill you with confidence but suggesting virtually every cross leads to a goal is a little bit of an exaggeration.
I didn't suggest "every cross" lead to a goal, I said it usually did.....which was of course very tongue in cheek.

Either way, he doesn't dominate his area and this is resulting in the centre backs having to mop the area up. We look like we could concede every time a decent cross comes in, I really hope Heck can sort this out.

The more I see of Flint, the more I like him and would love to see him in the white. He's be a great partner for Pontus and can really be a rock at the back and a threat at the other end.

:thumbup: That says it all to me, it really is up to the manager & coaching team to get the team and players doing the things they like.

Its not easy have coached a football team (only local stuff) and appreciate getting players to do what they do in training in a match is never easy in fact would say frustrating is a good word.
Suppose its a mix of coaching, motivation, tactical awareness & encouragement that really do the trick.

Lack of playing time with Cultural Leonesa has cost him a World Cup spot. A wasted 6 months but if he can't get into a struggling Spanish Division 2 side why the hell did we give him a 4 year contract :wtf:
