Archie spotted supporting the Under 18's last night. Wonder if that's his brother.

vs Sheff Wed

After resting Archie for one game, Gray returned to the team playing at RB showing his maturity with some good defending,and plenty of intelligent runs forward to support Gnonto, down the right flank.

12 good actions with just a couple of poor passes in Archie's game.

I feel like Archie has missed out. Last year he could have seen a German Koch, an American ar$ehole a fair few useless pricks and some greedy tw@ts. This year all he gets to see is an Italian Willy.

He was pictured in the Wednesday’s Away dressing room in a selfie with Rodon.

If the EFL find out we’ll no doubt get an instant twenty point deduction to derail our season.
Sky will have their say in it too, they love us in this league 😁

Not sure if I'm isreading it. But Archie did seem to be drifting into midfield often today. Made me think of the Pep inverted full back. Maybe it was just because nothing was happening down his side.

I think a lot of our players are given the license to roam. Wouldn't be surprised if they work on it during training during the week so as to have one specific player given freedom and the other players are aware so as to be ready to cover. See a potnetial weakness in the opposition and try to get an extra man into an area to exploit the weakness. We've seen a lot with Firpo seemingly givn license to roam so wouldn't be surprised to see Gray being allowed to do the same, mix it up and the oppositon won't know what to expect or why we seem to have an extra man at times.

Has been very noticeable during the incredible run of form we've been in 2024.

Nice interview with our wunderkind. My favorite part has to be this on playing with Leeds in the Premier League:

“It would mean a lot to me because that is the goal that everyone’s got here. But especially being from Leeds, that’s where the club deserves to be and should be."

“I want to try and win trophies with Leeds, that’s what I’ve always dreamed of as a kid, and playing for England’s first team is another one that every kid from England dreams of.”

Mike needs to get his facts straight.

Archie is 18, not 17 (and he was at the time Mike posted, I was sad enough to check 😁)

Well if Mike says it then my advice to Archie is hang up your boots son. Mike knows you know.
