It's almost got to the stage where it would have been for the best for JP to get banned to give himself a weekend off. The work he gets through is insane and you have to worry about him wearing himself out during the season, given he's not getting any younger.

The thing is, the other forwards are not bad players. During their time at Leeds, they have all had runs of games (some longer than others) where they have been excellent. The problem is, they don't need to be consistent, because they know JP is always there to take up the slack. The problem at the moment seems to be that he's trying to take up the slack for most of the pack. As I say, there are enough good forwards at the club to turn this around, but with Kirke now out, I do worry about JP's workload.

The penalty count stands out again. We give away so much territory through daft penalties. Come the end of the season, if this carries on, you've got to expect the players to suffer from the mental and physical fatigue that comes with doing so much defence in your own 20. Very worrying and it happends week in week out.

While the player is still under contract to his present club? What wonderful rule makers we have down at Red Hall.

The alternative of course tvoc is that you believe Jamie Peacock was contacted by Leeds and agreed a contract within hours of the anti-tamper deadline passing.

And why not, Gary Hetherington is a fast worker when he puts his mind to it.

Jamies an impulsive kind of guy.

Does he often act on Impulse?
