Marching On Together

Vote where you think Leeds will finish this season. At the start I said top half, I now don't think we will be top half this season, I think a finish of around 13th-16th is the most likely at the moment.

Top ten no but eleventh or twelfth I'd say.

I think Cook or Mowatt will be sold in Jan. Byram will go too. Cellino will still be our owner for the remainder of the season at least, we won't get anything decent player wise coming in and we'll just unravel and be in a relegation fight come March time.

Sorry to be negative but that's my opinion... Hopefully I'm totally wrong!

We've just signed Bridcutt on loan & he looks decent

Losing Cook would be a massive blow although it's inevitable he'll go at sometime, don't think it will be January though

We only have Bridcutt until January though because of the limit on emergency loans...

13th or below I think.

Had high hopes for a top 10 finish at the start of the season, but the wheels came off after Pearson left and Rosler was sacked. Would hope we manage to finish top half, but it's going to a lot of effort to bring consistent enough results.

We'll probably finish 15th again, underlining the lack of progress we've made over the last 3/4 years.

I'll stick with my initial view at the start of the season we'll finish between 7th & 10th with a possible chance of snatching a play-off place

Cellino didn't purchase LUFC out of a whim & to hover around the bottom half of the table, he always insisted this would be the season we'd improve our league position

Who voted for a top 6 finish out of interest ?

if Sunderland are interested we need to negotiate a switch deal between Byram & Bridcutt

Bridcutt is still young & has plenty of fire in his belly unlike Sam. Liam Bridcutt will be influential this season & more use to us than young Sam tbh

Don't think it's a fair swap really, Byram has much more potential, regardless of form. Could see it happening though.

Sam has found himself largely redundant this season due to Berardi's form and us bringing in proper wingers. Though he'd have been my choice at RB when Taylor was out, he wasn't picked and so has had no chance (and will get no chance) to establish himself back in the team.

Evans has said that he won't play a part until he signs and Byram wants assurances that he's a first team player, so we're going to lose him.

As always start of this season I was really optimistic and yes I thought we may make top 6 even put a quid or two on it Doh!

I now think we'll muddle around where we are now somewhere 13-16th can't see us getting any higher as much as I'd love us to. Rest of the season will pretty much be the same as the first half a couple of highs and lots of lows our team will be brilliant and shite in equal measure and can see Bryam and one from Mowatt or Cook leaving in Jan.

I'd like to keep Byram, Quality is there and for me a better right sided midfielder than full back.

Was confident of a top 10 at the start of the season, now I would say 13 to 16th in the league.

I thought top six at the beginning of the season and if we can put a good run together we can still manage it....Didnt Reading under McDermott string a load of results together in the second half of the season the year they got promoted? One of the problems as I see it is that all the so called bigger clubs in the championship are gonna bust a gut this year to get into the premier league because its going to be even more lucrative. The clubs with money will just chuck everything at promotion. Money is going to talk I'm afraid and I don't think we can compete in that area

Nice one young lady

Somewhere between 13th and 16th. Cellino may want us to get promoted, but how he conducts the football side of things makes that a forlorn hope, imo. There'll be at least one more coach before the season's out, and it'll be the usual stop-start-false-dawn (repeat to fade) until the season ends on its usual whimper for us.

10-12th

i would expect to see Byram gone in Jan more likely he will be offered around over xmas to find any potential suitor. I think cellino is Mad enough that he may even invest money in January on a couple of players.

If Steve Evans is still in charge come then, which i hope he is as we do not need this constant hiring and firing mentality the guy should be given a chance to get the team to gel and with an addition of one or 2 of his own to suit his needs and style of play.

13th-16th but I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. Unfortunately, inconsistency has been our only consistency.
Last Saturday was great though and it's nice to be able to believe for a while.

I think it is not as unfair as you are suggesting, but yes I agree Sam has greater potential.

Easily talented enough for top 6, but whether or not Evans can push them to that level consistently remains to be seen.
