If Hamer was the one man guarantee of promotion why do S.U. have fewer goals than Leeds?Whatever he is he certainly doesn't replace either Gruev or Ampadu in the roles they play within this Leeds team so I can't see how chasing the unlikely prospect of Wilder ever allowing his sale for anything othe...

Norwich are on a run of I think 19 games unbeaten at home so they are a very different proposition from what we played in that mad game last season. In addition they also had the ref basically doing a complete homer as if there had been any equal treatment applied Borja Sainz would have been off as ...

Who is this guy Nathan ?

Our best run last season came when Ampadu went into defence and Gruev filled in at No. 4 which is probably his more natural position with the difference being that Tanaka is better suited to the more forward role than Kamara . The back up then will be Rothwell and Crew so it's not like we're down to...

Dropping Gruev appears to be the next most popular option after sacking Farke and both are to my mind major mistakes. The notion that if a player chooses in certain circumstances to play a pass backwards that they are always incapable of attacking is manifestly false. The idea that a manager should ...

I don't think that either the midfield or the 3 behind the striker are playing according to the somewhat rigid assumptions that seem to underlie most of the comments . It's quite clear that Gruev has moved to the slightly more advanced role that Kamara occupied last year and in that role has already...

Both goals against Wednesday came down the right and there have been lots of attacks down the right so i don't know where this is coming from . Compared to last year there is a lot more balance to our attacking threat and I repeat once the front 5 have had a greater chance to train and play together...

I know that this is just clickbait and that I am a bigger fool for rising to the bait but I have to say that in all the ridiculous notions that have been floated in the 52 odd years I have supported Leeds this is close to the stupidest . In what universe does a very unlucky defeat to a very strong r...

After 2 games we are a disaster and everyone should be sacked . After 4 games things are fine and what was all the fuss. After 5 games we are a disaster and everyone should be sacked . After 8 games ? After 10 games ? and so on these tidal waves of optimism v pessimism and yet we all know that the t...

It is in the nature of the Championship that there will occasionally be the odd crazy result such as Portsmouth but the acid test will be whether you have the squad and the management to overcome those blips and restart as quickly as possible . Mind numbing as it was the West Brom result might prove...

It would be insane to let Wober go at this stage when there is no realistic prospect of replacing him . Struijk has in every season missed some games through injury and given the amount of games that have to be played there is a real risk that Wober will be needed at some stage . He was one of the f...

The club approach Meslier to sign an extension to his contract and he says I will want a release clause . That is a bog standard negotiation and characterising it as guns being held to the head is grossly unfair. He signed his original contract as a teenager getting his first big chance and is now a...

To say that 20 first teamers have left is such a blatant misrepresentation of reality that it undermines totally any credibility to the way this issue is being presented . Apart from Gray , Summerville , Rutter and Kamara none of the players who left featured regularly in the first team. A small num...

Last summer we were supposed to be in for Tanaka as and eventually bought Gruev instead so he clearly has been part of discussions for some time . We are led to believe that Farke has final refusal and if he has been under their scrutiny for some time it is something of a stretch to state that Farke...

To my mind DF is primarily doing 2 things with this A) He is trying to protect his squad from the Favourites tag and B) He is doing much the same as he did last season with the intention of protecting his own position and giving himself a bit of an out clause if the team fail to gain promotion this ...

Both goals on Saturday exemplified the merits of a more patient clear eyed approach to squad building rather than the instant reactions and negativity favoured by many . Joseph showed a true goal poachers instinct to go with all the hard yards in earlier games and entirely justified the faith that h...

At Centre Back after Wober the next option is Ampadu with Gruev dropping into his position. Seems like a perfectly adequate solution if the necessity arises . Rutter clearly wasn't a classic No.10 by any means and his risk taking and his finishing could be frustrating at times but when he was on for...

I don't think anybody underestimates what we lost but the complaint last season was that we weren't bringing in any money to replace the players that were going out on loan . On the back of that many of those who are now complaining about a 90 point season were predicting that we would be lucky to m...

As my name on here implies I had always been a Rutter fan but that doesn't mean that I was confidently predicting that he was going to have a storming season in the Championship . Well into September last year there was huge debate about who should be playing where in the forward line ,there were on...

It is most unlikely that at the equivalent stage of the season last year that you would have found a significant group of Leeds fans who would have been confident that Summerville , Rutter and Gray would be the Big 3 for the season and there was an interesting clip played on TSB recently of a Leeds ...
