Good luck to him.

Dallas is playing well.

Really happy for him, what a past few months for the lad.

To go from being on loan at York to first choice in the team top of the championship and starting for his country in competitive internationals.

Couldn't be happier for the lad

Tough result, but will only improve him for us by him playing at this level.

Typical of the Twitter idiots slating BPF for their goals.

He had to contend with a cr@p defense in front of him, at least 4 NI players in a line ball watching and one Bosnia player runs straight through them all to poke in the cross, and a stupid header back to him which Saric got to first.

What did they want him to do, take out the player, risk injury and get a red card.

I’m not convinced by BFP
Hope I’m wrong

He should have done better for both, especially the second. He's not physical or commanding enough. Still miss Green.

He couldn't have got the second without taking the man out. 50/50 whether he'd have come out on top.

The first was terrible defending. It's almost like the defender was leaving it for BPF.

I don't think you can blame BPF too much for either goal.

*Not really 50/50, the attacker had the advantage, much lower odds.

Shaun in slating bpf shocker!

Seriously, the first one he possibly could have cut out, the cross, but it looked like the 3 defenders had it covered and then just left it.

The second? The view from behind the goal showed you his perspective... and just how short he was sold by the header... only choice was to spread himself. If it hits him he’s a hero if it misses him it gives his many detractors a chance to sharpen their knives.

The commentators blame the defender and the Leeds fans blame our keeper. Sounds about right.

My view was that BPF could have done better on both occasions but his defence was equally culpable. I know we're not supposed to be critical, , but I think his inexperience showed. If he learns from this and becomes more authoritative around the box then we will benefit.

I hope he doesn't get dropped for the next NI game as this might affect his confidence.

Dallas had a great game though and hopefully will carry this form into his next Leeds United appearance.

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.

posted on 9/9/18

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...

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.
