Biscuit Tyler will be a huge player for us next year in the championship. He’ll flourish under a new better manager who doesn’t expect too much energy and his different tactics. Bielsa system to blame for this injury.

If true then I feel sorry for him because he is a vey very good player. Just so unlucky with injuries. Will be a shame and looks like he will never have the career his ability deserves

Feel sorry for him. Seems a genuine nice fella.

Sure he’s a nice bloke. Needs to find himself a job in the accounts department at PWC or a local council. Somewhere safe, where he can’t trip or fall over. Assume their offices will be health & safety regulated

Can you still call yourself a professional footballer if you only manage 1 game every few months?

Roberts dosent have a job as a footballer.

He has a job as a patient who occasionally plays football for a hobby

I've eaten brown crackers that had more to them then he does

I suppose while he is still getting paid

I remember an interview years ago with an Australian cricket coach talking about professional cricket. He said something along the lines of " Ah I see where you are getting confused. Getting paid for doing something and being professional are not the same thing"

In this squad you right off Forshaw Roberts and Shackleton right away.

I don't care how good they may be. They are never there

Lorimer had two broken legs as a teenager if you followed Leeds when he played you would know hes one of our top five players of all time, young players can come good

Forshaw and roberts signed together at time when TC desperately needed a jan boost.

Both more injured than they ever play.

Need to look at the decision making and medical testing process. These 2 alone cost a lot of money, and those bad choices could well have cost us promotion 3 years in a row.

Are you getting the sense that the Bielsa years are over, Jonty?

I think things have changed the last few matches. Defending the transfer window so vigorously, the dire results, the erosion of points gap, Bielsa has lost his buffer of unanimous goodwill from fans and that’s a dangerous place to be.

Perhaps that good will is lost for now, but the bigger picture is the man's integrity and the vision he has shared with us of how the game can be played.
The 11 point buffer was always a bit of an illusion because it was built on a run of seven games which were all very winnable. We are now playing better teams, more motivated teams, and teams who know how to play against us.
We are now at the point where we were last April, the difference being that we have 15 games to do something about it. Can Bielsa show us what he has learned and move beyond the seasonal collapse that has defined us in the past 3 years?
There is a lot of football left in the season.
