Leeds keeper making more mistakes we definitely need a replacement.

I haven't seen Wales match, Whitey..

But Darlow's been very good this season.

And he is the exception to the rule of utterly appalling Leeds United recruitment of goalkeepers in past 8 years or so.

Step forward the horror 5.

Perri
Meslier
Kiko
Klaessen
Wieldwald

Be careful what you wish for, Whitey.

Yes, Darlow hit a purple patch this season after getting the number one spot.
He deffo should be starting next season, but he is not the long-term solution. Perri showed early promise, shot-stopping, and stature. But he never really commanded his box, and on crosses never really came to collect.
On the other side, my opinion on the Man U goal Perri was caught out on was that the ball into the box was a good one, and it didn't travel as far or as fast as the keeper thought.

It may have caught one or two goalies out.
Newcastle game, yes, not good enough.
On the other hand, Perri played with a dodgy back four, and Darlow played mostly with a solid back 5.

And don't forget Marco Silvestri - some say he must have been a vampire because he couldn't deal with crosses.

Despite his purple patch, Darlow is sometimes still a bit slack with his distribution, imo. Defo a great back up, but not a reliable #1. As others have said before tho, can we afford to get another first choice of quality when other areas need strengthening more? Do we stick or twist? I just dunno. Sales will decide that probably.

Baz, I am not saying he's bad, but the blunders he continues to make in games show he just cannot keep concentration for 90 minutes. I'll give it to you, he has made some really fine saves, but we want consistency, which he doesn't seem to have.

Whitey, pal, so what 'blunders' has Darlow made? Any that led to goals conceded? I can't think of one.

He has been consistently good all season, Whitey.

We have seen our recruitment teams' efforts re other gks .. they aren't good. ?

Bright,

Ere, Darlow's 'purple patch' was the entirety of his games played all seez.

He was uber consistent, in the top 5 of our players of seez imo.

And yes, we defo need to spend our transfer budget on far more pressing areas, namely up front etc. We need more goalscoring players!

Darlow was good. Took his chance. But my grandmother was better than Perri. Good enough? Probably not. Depends on said owners' ambitions. So do you give Darlow a new 3 year contract, which I'm pretty sure he will want. Or realise he will most likely be redundant in 6 months to a year?

I would be tempted to concentrate on outfield players this next season and let Darlow have another season, and then see at the end of next season.
Apart from the Liverpool game, I can't remember a real goal giveaway by Darlow.

One or two misplaced passes, maybe.
For me, don't mess with the back line at all, only if someone goes. They have all been solid.
Add to full-back cover. Then get some more firepower into the team.

Ben, I agree.

Absolutely, we should concentrate on outfield players recruitment and leave Darlow as our number 1 for next season.

By the way, it was Perri (not Darlow) who blundered for a goal giveaway in the Liverpool match.

Baz, tried to tap a ball to Rodon and gave it away 2 feet away from goal. Mad, just a total lapse from the man.

We should all play Aus Bingo .we tick off each player he doesn't like / rate. We would all shout "Ausgo" at the same time, since he doesn't rate anyone. The bonus line would be when mentions that he doesn't like The Manager, The Owners, The Strip, The Ground oh and Yorkshire. (And England!)

Ausman, the strangest (non) Leeds United supporter on the planet.

Ausbingo; that was quite funny, Ani.

Isn't Aus, deep down, a Hammer, being a born and bred Essex/East London lady?

Yes Baz, I was thinking of the Arsenal goal where he caught the ball and took it in his goal.
But apart from that he's been good.

If we do start with Darlow, I would keep Perri, or if he is on his way, look for a decent lower league keeper. There are good keepers in the Championship and below.

Good suggestion, LUFCfeath.
