BPF starts!!

He's a young kid receiving his first cap in a position where people say players don't come into their prime until their late 20s

We should be saying "Keep it up BPF, it's all part of the process. You're dong great, lad"

To be fair our solid defence means that he has hardly had to do anything in the Leeds goal. Long way to go before he's anywhere near Green's standard I think.

Agree, however

1) BPF has made some blinding saves this season.

2) Green is TWICE his age, so not worried.

Green was decent for us, no doubt. But I think there may be some romanticism of just how good he actually was.

Green was prone to the odd error. Good, solid championship keeper who we were poorer without, but let's not turn him into the superkeeper he wasn't.

Green did well for us. I liked him. However bielsa wouldn’t play him.. he can’t use his feet. Bpf is a modern keeper.

Of course it’s fine to criticise bpf if he makes a mistake. It’s just all these could have done better, should have been stronger type comments.

It’s either his fault or it isn’t, these meaningless cliches are just little digs for the sake of it. Second goal yesterday... if you think it was his fault, say exactly what he should have done in those circumstances. It was a poor defensive header not a defensive mix up. That’s my take. Happy for someone to say should have stayed on his line, should have taken man and ball etc. I’d disagree but at least it’s a reason. Just seems to be a stack of non-specific sniping at him...

Not sure I get this, the bit about Bielsa not playing Green???

Spot on, I seem to recall howlers against QPR and Newcastle. Schmeichel, who I consider to be one of our better keepers since League One, also made the ordinary look complicated on occasions.

BPF has done well thus far but there is a long way to go. Yes he needs encouraging as LST suggests but equally lets not be blind to errors that could and should have been dealt with better.

Dallas did play well. Looks a different player for NI. Sadly he’s rarely put that kind of performance in for Leeds. We seem to get the dependable trier type performances out of him, not the hit the byline cause havoc type stuff. Maybe he’d do better with bielsa ball.

Yeh phrased that poorly. Meant if green was here I don’t believe bielsa would play him, because he couldn’t play sweeper keeper

ah, got you.
I agree with that.
