I haven`t seen him play so can`t comment.
I think Blackwell has done a good job. He has built a squad from nothing and only spent a small amount of money. Sure our results have been inconsistant but they have been very good lately (besides the little hic up on New Years Day). I hope that this new team have finally gelled and we can march up the table.
As for keeping Winter, I know Leeds are famnous for selling their players but unless Aberdeen come out with a silly offer I don`t think you`ll be able to keep him. More than likely Leeds want him to get 1st team experience at Aberdeen before recalling him, playing him for a season or two before selling him when he`s good >:(
Hoping for Leeds to be the Crystal Palace of 2004/5
Also looking forward to playing Birmingham in the cup. I know we`ll probably lose but in The Magic of The FA Cup theres always a chance. Every year a number of Division 1/Championship sides knock out mid-table Premiership opposition, hopefully Leeds can do the same.
Marching on Together!
Oh and David Healy is God!

How daaaare you!...how daaare you!
inconsistent maybe...struggling no...For a team largely thrown together at the start of the season, they are doing pretty well. A major worry of mine is on the discipline side, we are getting far too many yellow and red cards and giving away far too many penalties for my liking. A lot of it can be put down to frustration, but its a major worry for me in a team already fighting to stay afloat to `self destruct` by needless bans and suspensions. Another worry is our inability to `kill off` opposition, in various games this season we have dominated the first half...could have been 2 ,3 maybe 4 goals up by half time but have only managed 1 or 2, come the second half they seem to fade and let the opposition back into the game which is very frustrating. We do keep a lot of possession, but lack that final punch in the last 3rd of the park. Room for improvement there. I like Blackwell, he`s done a good job on very limited finances, the team he has is a good foundation to build on (if we don`t sell more players that is!...) I still don`t think they will go back up this year, even though results are promising at the moment...I think if they do they will struggle in the Premiership and just go back down again, Id hate Leeds to become another yo-yo club..Id much rather we spent a few seasons in the first division ..er sorry the `championship` (I still think its a stupid idea) to regroup and get the club stable before making a serious challenge for promotion with the view of staying up...

Agree about the regrouping. Do what Man City, Charlton, Fulham, Portsmouth and Birmingham have done.
