SAV Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 OK, so we get a couple of Leeds fans with cameras and me and Sav will take him out for a quiet pint after a match. That should prevent any sudden recalls. Make sure they have a few quid,I'm skint .....As for the photos they would take back over the hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) ‘insiders’ say he was off with depression. I wouldn't wish such an illness on my worst enemy. If true, a move away from somewhere like Leeds Utd to a less pressured environment would be a good thing for him - he's certainly playing like a man who is enjoying life again.

singe Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I think JJ has a lot to live up to. No coicidence our upturn in form has coincided with Sheehans arrival/form. Imagine those two battling it out for a place. We have not had that sort of luxury in decades! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) I think JJ has a lot to live up to. No coicidence our upturn in form has coincided with Sheehans arrival/form. Imagine those two battling it out for a place. We have not had that sort of luxury in decades! Exactly that man. JJ impressed me in pre-season – albeit vs Hyde & Bury but – he looks like a very composed footballer; has a very useful left foot, looked to bomb on & overlap whenever possible, won some brave headers & wasn’t afraid to put his foot in either. He also took some really dangerous corners & free-kicks. Now, Alan Sheehan; since he’s come in has looked a very good footballer too – he has a very useful left foot, he looks to bomb on & overlap whenever possible, he’s won some brave headers & he hasn’t been afraid to put his foot in either. He’s also taken some really dangerous corners & free-kicks & has weighed in with assists (2?) and a belting goal too. The similarities are there to me between the 2 of them. JJ needs to get fit first & fully recovered from his pelvic injury; then he needs to get some Reserve games under his belt & then; & only then IMO can he really be expected to push for a starting place. In that time frame (1month+ I’d say from what been said physio / DP wise) Sheehan is a more than adequate stop gap*. But, once JJ is fully fit; I believe he’ll be our left back – it’s a no brainer really as he is a contracted Oldham player. Sheehan for the short term has proved to be a cracking loan deal; but JJ will be the longer term option at left back; if he slots in the same way AS has once he’s fit (as I believe he will), then JJ will do for me. * in no way am I under-valuing or under-playing AS’s impact & performances when I call him a stop-gap – just that I don’t think he will be here for much longer; a short term plug if you will…..
