Where do we finish at the end of the season

[pjm2019]

I'm sticking to my initial prediction --- 1st.

Three 1-0 defeats isn't enough to change my mind in December.

All teams lose matches, no matter what league there in.

Apart from Arsenal some years ago and i think Liverpool also went a season without losing

Leeds only lost two games in the 68/69 season.

We'll never witness so few losses again.

Top. Think we will get better and better as season goes on.

9, 10, LB it's a broken record now we have heard it over and over again and again.

Firpo is our LB who operates as a wing back and is great going forward and provides assists, the same as Bogle. The team is set up to be possession based and you hardly need a defence since most opposing teams set up as a low block. When the full backs are forward Tanaka drops in between Rodon and Struijk and the defence is sorted.

Aaronson is our number 10 and already has 3 goals or at a pinch Piroe with 7 goals.

Lord Bamford will come in at 9 and cause a full blown democratic left wing non binary blue haired meltdown by becoming the top scorer for Leeds.

So there!!!

The first and only task is to get promoted so we need to buy players that will get us promoted. There is so much money to promoted teams you simply just sell the players who are not good enough for the per regardless when you purchased them.

And you think our owners, board, and manager don't know this already?

Top 2 but it isn't an option. I think Sheff U are the best team in terms of winning without playing well and as such it will likely be us and them top 2. If you look at last weekend's games they were very similar but with different outcomes. Sheff U conceded a penalty to Sunderland. SUnderland then missed the penalty and Sheff U went on to get a winner in a very poor game. We on the other hand conceded a penalty agaisnt Blackburn but Blackburn scored. That seems to be the difference and they find ways to win. I have watched them a few times and they are certainly nowhere near as good as us but we need to create better chances and then take them.

So onto what we need in January and the answer for me is just 1 player, a proper no.10. I have no qualms about Piroe as a finisher - the only problem is we don't create many chances for him. Similarly if Joseph, or even Bamford, got a run of games I think they would do okay. What we do have though is still a team that has no goals from midfield. We have inconsistent finishers in our wide players and don't create chances for our no.9. We again have a 10 who doesn't offer much of a goal threat and unfortunately not much in the way of assists too. So for me all we need is a 10 to come in and score a few, but more importantly create good openings, either the pass for the goal or the pass that leads to the pass for the goal. For now though I'd like to see 1 of our 4 wingers tried out in the 10 role or Piroe dropping into it and Joseph/Bamford coming in as the 9 as it would give us more goal threat.

Totally agree

The only spot we really have room for another addition is in the 10. We won't sign a striker when we have 3. We won't sign a LB when we have 3 ....

Sure, you could sell and replace. But the incoming player would have to be spectacular otherwise there are no guarantees he's better than what we've got. Take Kiefer Moore as an example last season. Sounds good. But there are no guarantees he'll score more goals than the strikers we have.

So. I'm only really hoping for a 10 and if there are no spectacular options, I'm happy with the options we have. I guess I'd throw a young up and coming center back for the bench onto my wishlist too.

I'm saying 1st because there are no outstanding teams this year

I do think we'll improve as the season goes on.

3rd or 4th for me ,we always bottle it when it matters ,that includes the playoffs.

We'll get hammered most weeks in the Prem anyway cos these lot won't invest if we got there

Top.
I think it will be similar to when we won it with Howard which was:

Leeds
Sheffield Utd
Sunderland

That’s the spirit!

I wonder if Ipswich and Southampton are enjoying their time in the Prem getting beat everyweek?
