Birmingham City v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Sinisterra and Gnonto Missing from Squad

[Mick Jones shoulder]

When Newcastle sign him

We live in hope

[Finnatic]

Agree with you on Ampadu.

I take a lot of positives, felt we were slightly the better side and created the better openings against a well seasoned championship side. It was only the last 10 minutes when we were poor. If we do lose the likes of Gnonto, Sini etc then it will at least give Farke some funds and judging by how well Ampadu has done I would be confident that he can make good signings.

So the initial reaction to DF saying early doors that there will be bumps initially etc - which as I recall most accepted are now on Planet Doom because we lose away to an injury time penalty.

We are in a tough situation but let’s get some perspective, we will struggle until the squad is sorted ( what that will look like is anyone’s guess) and the players become comfortable with the possession based tactics in tough championship games.

I wonder if Darlow would've saved the penalty? Putting Meslier in the shop window is only costing us points.

Unless players are brought it likenlord farquaad himself said in every department this squad will remain stale and drift out of sight in this league playing every week and injuries will only pile up. Wake up and smell the coffee we need like 7 players an entire midfield with decent players in there an entire attack with a proven goal scorer and obviously a defence that can do its part. And he has just over 2 weeks to do this. Good luck to him

[SG90]

Probably the worst I've seen us play in years.... not even bad, just nothing. The whole thing looked like a lg one match mid winter with no one giving a f**k.

Ampadu, comfortably, our best player
Ayling, comfortably our worst. He seems to have lost the plot, I said in midweek he was in fade but he's faded.

What's Drameh done wrong that he can't get a look in? All this loyalty to Ayling is embarrassing.

Perspective is key. We are a side that at present is cobbled together and with very little back up (made even worse by absentees). It is a long season and even under Bielsa we lost 9 league matches in the promotion season.

It's not the losing its the inept performance that grates.

[whiteswan]

The negativity on here is unbelievable

Don't see any reason for it at all....we'll be fine

[whiteswan]

Inept as in not having enough players?

[BlackHillsPaul]

I think you'll find Adams if ever fit will want out. He doesn't want to be here.

You could be right Scoob. We'll all know in the next three weeks. But there is NO DOUBT that Adams could help us if he stays.

Tyler's camp is livid at the way he was treated by Chelsea. I'm certain this is a time of reassessment. If Liverpool come calling I think he will leave. Otherwise, he may just choose to stay at Leeds and channel that disrespect into a great season with us.

Yes, I'm wishful thinking.

Everyone knows players need bringing in. You are always ‘Captain worse case scenario’.

2 weeks until the end of the window. Let’s see what happens first before you starting calling for everyone’s head.

How was he treated by Chelsea Paul

[Jimang]

I thought it was a poor performance. There was a spell in the first half when we had lots of posession but created virtually nothing. To be honest it bored me to death. Second half we had a few attacking bursts but it became inevitable in the last quarter that things were not going to end well. I thought most of our attacking threats came from James on the left, but he ruined his good work with that needless rash challenge.
We need to get some new faces through the door or we can forget promotion, I think we will be lucky to finish half way.

Certainly are wishful thinking

His agent is already giving the biggest football reporter in the country the scoop

The pink kit makes us look like Portland Timbers of MLS.

Inspired by San Fransisco California pastel pink woke Barbie Doll... if the movie is a success then we will also be a success if we wear the same woke weirdness. It's a Bud Light moment for Leeds. Yorkshire is flat caps and whippets, what true Yorkshireman would be seen committing fashion suicide by wearing a garment with so much visual noise... or perhaps the players wear it to give their opponents a headache.

I'll laugh my socks off if no-one comes in for him. Another Prima Donna who thinks he's better than he is

As in clueless

It's not all doom & gloom - Helder Costa wants to leave the club.

But who will come in for him, after his displays abroad it certainly won't be the saudis
Anyway, I'm getting lashed up tonight on this news
