Ready to drive up and collect the lad at short notice, I’ll leave them Webster instead.

This. Webster was absofeckinglutely appalling today. A performance so bad that Montoya and Stephens should be buying him a pint for not making theirs the two worst performances of the season.

Bad game granted but your being a knob tbh if you can’t understand why he is in the team then you don’t understand potter and his way we play

That's a bit harsh. We all know that the theory is that he's in in front of big Shane as he's the better player with the ball at his feet. However, that's losing sight of the fact that his key role is to defend and today he had a shocker. I also think that Dunk looks more steady alongside Duffy. On the basis that I totally support 'Potterball' I think there's a very strong case for getting White back pronto!

I personally have never rated Webster. He always looks vulnerable. I wouldn’t bring back White, but definitely give Shane a run in the side.

If possible I would bring White back and put him straight into the team. It was suggested in the press that Chelsea will offer between £20m and £30m for him in January and FL says he would fit straight into the team. GP praises Webster for his ability with the ball at his feet but even that was very poor today and if he isnt prepared to either play Duffy or move Burn into the middle and bring in Bernardo we need White.

All this .....let White have the seen at Leeds for his development.... It's very far sighted and all, but if we do go down with one very under performing centre back. Maybe it wasn't actually that far sighted.

We're being too complacent that we'll stay up. Throw the kitchen sink at survival this season. This means either

Ben White recall ... or
Buy a new centre back .... or
Put Duffy back in ... or
Shove Dan Burn back to Centre Back

Whatever, we have a young defender in the first team at the moment, who needs to come out of the firing line. We can't carry on as we are

I’d play White and Bernardo. Yes, I realise that White is unproven at PL, but so were Burn and Webster a few weeks ago.

Hasn’t it been said many times that he has played too many games for Leeds to be recalled in January? He can’t be here this season.

Yes, it has been said many times.

But Potter has confirmed that that is fake news - no matter how many times it is repeated.

If we want him back, he comes back.

*you’re

Over this season to date, I’m not sure if Webster’s in credit anymore with mistakes vs progressive play (& goal).

I’m kind of hoping we get Duffy back whilst sacrificing some of our passing from the back. In any case, White has the potential to be better than them both both in attacking and defending.

White has potential to be better than any CB we have ever had in my opinion and yes he needs to play PL football sooner rather than later just don’t see us breaking up his progress at Leeds at the moment no matter what we do. If he was back I’d say we have a perfect back 3 in Webster dunk and white to play how potter wants. Webster is in credit for me because we can’t play this was without him.
