[Ellandback1]

Interesting that you both would not keep Shaughnessy. I thought the lad did well, considering its his first senior season. Obviously his injury was unfortunate..

I can't make a decision on Roofe. He's done alright - but just alright. If we want to move up the table, is Roofe capable of stepping up.

[hector]

I think he is.... If played as a striker and not a winger

[Genghers]

Thing is, I don't think we need wholesale changes. This squad were playing good football and getting results at the start of the season that's not fluke. We have depth, but it just isn't high enough quality.

Only keeping 13 of that squad would be madness and we'd be back to square one.

i agree, we can't keep doing it every season. there needs to be a core group

[dezzy]

I think what we’re seeing is we don’t have a terrible squad, what the hell went so badly wrong?! Leadership I guess, with all the suspensions, who is our leader? Forshaw? Cooper sure as hell cant be next year, Pontus has leadership qualities but needs a calm head around him.
Not as big a rebuild, quality not quantity this summer hopefully

[Genghers]

De Bock - sell
Antonsson - Sell

The only two of yours I'd question really.

Think Antonsson deserves a chance after impressing at Blackburn. I reckon we'll be able to move him if he doesn't show much.

De Bock hardly had a chance before getting injured - another one for the pending pre-season pile.

[1964white]

Not fussed about the majority of the current squad, most are League One standard or a sheer waste of space

Only have twelve Elland

GOALKEEPERS

Peacock-Farrell

DEFENDERS
Ayling
Coyle
Jansson
Berardi
Pearce
O'Connor

MIDFIELDERS

Forshaw
Hernandez
Saiz
Vieira

STRIKERS

Roberts - Never seen Roberts play so he is an unknown quantity, he could turnout as poor as the rest of our strike-force

[Oscar]

Keep: Peacock-Farrell, Ayling, Berardi, Coyle, Jansson, Shaughnessy, Pearce, Vieira, Klich, Forshaw, Phillips, Alioski, Saiz, Hernandez, Dallas, Roofe, Roberts.

Sell: Lonergan, Wiedwald, Cooper, Anita, De Bock, O’Kane, Sacko, Antonsson

Loan Out: O’Connor, Ekuban, Grot

Don’t re-sign: Pennington, Lasogga

Only really Ayling, Jansson, Vieira, Klich, Forshaw, Saiz, Hernandez would qualify as first team quality for me and players who I would be happy to see start our first game of next season some of those are debatable as well.

[hector]

Some sense there Oscar, but I would also loan ot Shaughnessy to get some proper experience and to find which position he is best at...

[Norm]

Just for interest Ell, are you both 'Elland back', who joined us 24/3/18 at 09:15 and also your present ID 'Ellandback1', who joined on the same date at 09:01 please?
I'm not suggesting anything sinister but I'm just curious. If the 2 identities belong to different people it would be nice to know, because one of you is (allegedly) a Mod on another site and your current userid on this thread isn't - as far as I know.

I have no particular authority on this site other than that of a watchful amateur, but clarification would be good please sir?

[hector]

Yup same person Norm, he lost the account details for 1 of them and then opened another, and has now found both I believe... or summut like that....

I like Antonson but I feel his opportunity here is gone, let him move on for his sake

Hi Norm, yes, I ceretainly am. When I was trying to join, it was taking ages to activate my account, so I re-registered. I didn't know that I had two accounts running albeit under almost the same user until Shields pointed it out, but Ellandback1 is my preferred account as that is what I am known as on twitter and another forum.

If admin could delete the other account, that would be great...

You could say the same about Klich though. He's been sent away to a lesser league and is starting to hit form again.

Antonssen was on fire until the New Year when he got injured. The jury are out on this one...

Morning Oscar, its interesting that almost everyone wants to get rid of Cooper. Has he been that bad this season or does his face not fit?

Cooper and Shaughnessy are fine. I don't understand all the stick Cooper gets, but that's Leeds fans for you.

It's weird that people say Heckingbottom should stay because we won't get anyone better, yet the same people want half the squad gone and expect us to get better players in.
