Alan Sheehan bollocks.

Last time I heard from a Leeds fan, they were loving him and Kenton at RB.

Kenton played right wing on Saturday! :laugh:

He's been at fault for so many goals since he's been there it's crazy. Every week some average right winger has got the freedom of their left side to waltz towards goal.

Just to add, he hasn't even been taking their set pieces. And if you don't let him do that, he just looks what he is - an awful defender.

If he's not taking their dead ball kicks and not being used as an attacker then I cannot imagine why they've signed him and I'd frankly rather we had him back.

To me Shush! is a specialist. He's okay in some aspects of defensive work and I've occasionally seen him do more than alright suggesting that, with the right coach and motivator, he could improve.

But you'd really employ him, rather like Cloughie used Alan Hinton, simply to do particular things.

People keep mentioning his faults as if I've never acknowledged them but I always have because they're so obvious.

But in focusing on his faults people ignore his strengths and those strengths have been sorely missed at times because Clemence and Hume don't generally create nearly so much danger from their free kicks not just because of accuracy, pace and the variety of flight but also because Shush!'s left-footed delivery is more unusual and unfamiliar to defenders.

And despite the insistence of some, Shush! creates plenty with his outfield passing, espcially when he's confident and has good players around him.

Don't get me wrong. If Holloway had replaced the lad with a similarly attacking player who also had the defensive tenacity of Chambers then I'd not have complained but those chances Shush! created have not been forthcoming from someone else, not from Mattock, nor Clapham nor Laczko.

This isn't about an individual. Mattock is the best bet and I hope he takes the opportunity. But so far he hasn't and I don't really believe the other two even have the capability.

Posters know and I know that while Shush! contributed oficially to seven goals first half of the season (two goals plus five assists) he was actually involved in much more - disallowed goals, near things, secondary assists.

No way has any part of that contribution been replaced and our results reflect that.

Unless we find answers to what I'm saying we'll go down - simple as that. Because the same applies on the right wing, the left wing and from central midfield in that we create far too little.

I tend to want players for their strengths rather than being overly concerned about what they can't do.

I'd rather have specialists who do particular jobs well than jacks-of-all-trades who charge about but actually have little effect on a game as we seem to have had in too great numbers and for far too long.

Clemence is left footed so his delivery style is just as unusual as Shush!'s in that respect

It is and he's done better than I expected with assists for that reason. But I don't think he has Shush!'s variety of kicks or his range and power.

that's a fair point I do get annoyed at the amount of times Clem fails to beat the 1st man

You hate Clem anyway, so you're going to moan when he does and make more of it than it is.

Other than from set pieces, what does he offer in attack? I'm at a loss.

I think his spell at Leeds is starting to prove he isn't a very good LB. All this talk of not being used in the right way or confidence, is just excuses now. He is a defender and so that to me, means he should be first a good defender, and second a good attacker. He is not a good defender as we all witnessed here, plus the individual blame he is getting for goals conceded playing for Leeds now. I will be the first to admit he has a wicked free-kick on him, but I've seen more than enough evidence from Hume and Clemence and maybe even Oakley now, that they can take very effective free-kicks also. As far as I'm concerend, he is being given his chance to prove us all wrong at Leeds, and take away all the lame excuses, he just simply isn't doing it.

My two mates that are Leeds think he's absolute shit. They reckon if he carries on playing like he is and carries on getting picked, he's gunna become a real hate figure there. I think it might have been a bad decision to send him there to be honest, should have shipped him off to a League Two club to help get his confidence up a bit.

End the saga and release him I say, will be a happy day.

He's not really first and foremost a defender - he's more an old fashioned wing half and Hume/Clemence don't in any way replace his dead ball creativity.

Leeds have clearly not utilised his strengths and if the way he is being used simply exposes his weaknesses then he is at the wrong place.

I've said many times that new young signings should be given the chance settle at a club. I said it with Kaebi and with Laczko and Bori. Fans here seem resigned to the Hungarians needing time to fit in and many have gone out of their way not to be over critical because Laczko in particular would seem to be having just as bad a time as Shush!.

But the Shush! hater's expect him to fit in immediately and it's simply not the case, as is demonstrated by the fact he doesn't even take the dead ball kicks.

I'm well aware though that I'm wastnig my breath. Shush! will finish his time at Leeds and I can't see him coming back here nor do I expect him to get another chance to play with the sort of players who have complimented his ability so well at City on occasions.

It's a pity. What with Shush!, Porter, Andy King and Gradel all missing we don't have one single player in our line up who causes a bit of expectation. No wonder our football has been so dour and uninspired for so long.

The amount of times you change and twist your arguements to defend this man is quite simply unbelieveable.

Amazing.

I find it amazing that you still feel so strongly about this guy. The argument of players complimenting him is rubbish as is Leeds exposing his weaknesses. I'm not sure what games you have been watching but I have seen a vast improvent of deliveries from free-kicks and corners with players like Hume, Clemence and Oakley. Enough so, that I wouldn't feel the need to play an inadequate LB just to have his specialist skill. You can defend him as much as you want but for someone who constantly attacks people on the 'Chosen men', don't you think you are being a bit hyprocritical and not seeing past YOUR 'chosen men'

I am giving him time, I think a loan move was exactly what he needs. You can't also compare moving from Europe (hungarians) to Leicester, to Leicester to Leeds either! Plus the language barrier etc. The same applied with Kaebi. Shush! is on a short-term loan move to play regular football in league 1 2hours up the road. If he can't settle and perform well enough to avoid abuse and be blamed for goals, then I'm sorry but he is never going to become the great player you have suggested, which you have in your own long-winded way, so don't deny it!

But can you blame eople with the way that you've hyped him up? We expected a world beater, and all we got was a league 2 standard full-back.

It's a real skill.

You do wonder why he bothers though.

It is a real skill.

It makes me laugh how he writes off players who have come in from a differant country where the football is not as in your face, where the culture is completely differant and it would take alot of time to ajust get settled. But nope soon as they have one average/decent game or don't score 8 goals in the reserves he's banging on about how much better Ryan Beswick is.

Yet when Shush! moves up the motorway, Its a great upheaval in his life and it could take months to ajust and for him to find any sort of form again. Bearing in mind that this is a move that is within the same country and moving to a lower standard of football instead of better its hypocritical to say the least.

It's a skill you have yourself except uin your case it's Fryatt.

Yet in 24 appearances this season striker Fryatt has 3 goals and three assists.

That compares with so-called defender Shush!'s 2 goals and five assists in his 24 starts this season.

As you'll clearly see, Shush! had some official impact once in 3.5 matches (approx) while with Fryatt it's been once in four.

I suppose Shush! has suddenly lost those skills now he's moved to Leeds.

But if his name were Fryatt you be insisting he'll come good soon. You've kept it up for over two years here.

Pity Hammond's not been fit too. Cos he'd have done better than Fryatt as well.

My argument about players doing better when they have familiar faces around them - people they've played well alongside before, doesn't just apply to Shush!.

I've mentioned Beswick/Mattock; Weso/King and Porter; Stearman and Gradel, Dodds and Porter were two more.

When Shush! plays with that sort of player he's confident and endlessly involved.

Shush! is very much a confidence player - it's been shown time and again over the last three seasons. If he's had a bad start in unfamiliar surroundings and with new players and a Leeds crowd who might easily turn on a Leicester import then I can easily imagine his form's dipped.

Doesn't make him a bad player.

As for him being a great player that's not even in the equation. His only task right now is convincing people he's good enough for the Championship.

He doesn't appear to be making much of a job of it at Leeds and we meanwhile are creating nothing down the left. Brilliant all round!
