I agree wholeheartedly with this...BJB full back; keep Smithy at centre for some long awaited continuity....and have Watkins on bench...if BJB doesn't work out we can always move Smithy there during match.

Or [iif[/i Smithy is considered best option at full back can we not get Broughon involved somehow in threequarters ??? He seems to be well rated by the Hull lot ...and it would really annoy them seeing him back where he belongs.

(his loan spell is over at kfc).

Maybe try Hall at centre.....threequarters: Broughton, Hall, Senior, Donald

(watkins on the bench)

Gibson doesn't add a lot in attack,he may be reliable but there's not much more that that coming from him.I'd be tempted to play Watkins as for me he has more of a future at Leeds than Gibson has.

I'm not so affected by upvc windows on old houses as long as they match what had been there - a mock sash window or even a upvc door shouldn't detract from the overall appearance at all until very close examination, the same can't be said of upvc cladding and drainpipes though.

As for Barcelona, I loved it but it has that European city advantage of depending mainly on the apartment building for housing rather than the terraced housing route that we took in this country, I just think its easier to develop a city theme when you're planning issues are controlled by how many families you can fit into one building and how high it can go when its built from brick, having siad that the decoration on many of the "ordinary" apartment buildings is superb, I took a load of photos of buildings and streets while I was there.

But Barcelona was very well controlled when it developed unlike, for instance, Leeds which grew outwards like a cartwheel depending on the city's wealth, rich to the north, poor to the south, the prevailing wind deciding which side of the river you built your biggest dwellings on.

There is a building near to the Palau de la Musica Catalana ( a splendid modernista building) that was built of red brick which had been "textured" or done in bas relief, fantastic. Compare that to the bland red brick look of 80s Leeds, it just showed what can be done using the same raw materials used with imagination and a flair for design.
