My strongest side when all fit. --------------------------Meslier--------------------------- Ayling------------Koch-------Wober-----------Firpo ---------------------Roca-------Adams------------------- Summerville---------McKennie------------Gnonto -----------------------------Rutter----------------...

Bamford and Rodrigo, for me, are completely different kinds of strikers. Rodrigo the more clinical and opportunist type, Bamford the more hold the ball up, occupy the defenders type. Both equally legitimate, together the complete package and, hopefully, effective enough when sharing our striking dut...

On the face of it it’s a pretty good window, probably one of the best ever for January, assuming they all settle in well and perform to their reputation and live up to their fees. Wober already looking calm and commanding, Rutter showing one or two promising flashes (ooh er missus) versus Stanley an...

That’s it - you’ve got it SG90 - simples!

Odds on if they can fix it that way, and they can - don’t worry about that!

Oh aye, could be!

Bert Johanneson?

So is Ken judging by the number of posts he mentions him in. It must be the only time he and Victor have ever agreed about anything!

Certainly is! Bert Sproston played for us between 1933 - 1938 .

Folk keep saying i bring Bert up a lot. Who is this Bert bloke you keep talking about Ken? It must be Bert Sproston who played for us from 1933 to 1938, I can’t think of any other Bert who has ever either played for or managed us. What makes him so special that you keep droning on about him 90 year...

If one of their shots from the edge of the area had flown into the net instead of Harrison's we could well have been knocked out. Small margins. That’s true, their mad Leeds United fan Harvey Rodgers had a couple of excellent chances which would certainly have been taken by most Premier League stri...

I’m still far from convinced by Firpo I’m afraid. He scored a goal, beautifully set up by Bamford, but he did have the will and determination to keep on running into the box and finished the chance well. Apart from that though, I saw, and mostly do see, nothing to get excited about. Left back is sti...

I’m not unhappy with this news. He is a weak link in defence for sure and, as I’ve said before, he still makes me nervous whenever he gets on or near the ball. I wonder whether, if Roma decide to buy him, we will lose money on the deal, I can’t imagine that they would be prepared to pay anything lik...

Been away for a week or so, back now! Re the Stanley game, I thought our performance was good in parts and adequate overall. The fact that they, a struggling League one team, had no less than 16 shots shows how vulnerable we still are defensively, but we do look to have some awesome fire-power now i...

Like he says though he isn't worried about the sack, and why should he be? He'll get the rest of his contract paid up and will then no doubt get a job as an 'expert' on MoTD or something similar. The rewards of failure That is very true weasel, once you’re on the big time football merry-go-round yo...

He’s a goner and he knows it, you can just tell from his demeanour - what a shame, never mind!

2 games in hand now over most of our rivals so it’s imperative that we make the most of them, starting with a win at home against Brentford and a win away at Notts Forest before we face the double header against you know who. On 17 points and only goal difference away from the drop zone, we really d...

I’m sure a loan spell will suit Joffey, I hope it will be successful and that he’ll come back to Leeds a more rounded and better player, he definitely has the ability. Having watched Cresswell in the junior teams he always looked a cut above most of his contemporaries and looked one of the most like...

Slightly surprising to be honest. The fact that he was playing regularly for the under 21s at the age of 18 must show that he had some ability. I wonder if he has seen the strength in depth we (all of a sudden) seem to have in the striker roll, didn’t fancy his chances of ever achieving a 1st team p...

Phillips is a good footballer and proved (as the stats above show) that he was indispensable in Bielsa’s Leeds team. The fact that he can barely get off the bench for Citeh indicates that they never really wanted him for his footballing ability but just because they have the wherewithal to be able t...

I agree - in terms of UK economic policy these days socialist and conservative governments are pretty well identical. Unfortunately Chapel, this not only applies to economic policy but to most, if not all, policies. When there is virtually no political difference between the two parties in a two pa...
