Reasons to be positive

Post by Cjay »

Thought we could have a positive only thread :)

So for me i will go with.

King Pablo :love:

He is a reason to be positive.

While Pablo is still here and fit promotion is possible.
Signed

At least another season with Marcelo in charge

Pablo our talisman

Phillips staying at Leeds

The improved form of Dallas over the last six months

The improvement of Jack Harrison in the last few games & pre-season

First full pre-season at Leeds for the likes of Kiko, Bamford, Bogusz,

Ben White might just be the surprise signing of the summer

Costa to give us more pace, assists & goals

Shackleton pushing for more games this season

Signing of Costa.
Most the players having a full season under MB, knowing the system better.
Harrison and Dallas in better form.
The emergence of a few more of the u23's, looking likely to be ready for the step up.


Wonder if we can go a whole page before there's a negative twist.

I'm convinced a lot of the negative vibe here comes from reading Waccoe, a forum that is so much greater than the sum of it's parts..Absolute no balance of that forum...the clique have THE opinion and woe betide anyone that challenges it

If I post re football, it'll be a contrary PoV but I then stay away from that thread

Thread title made me think of that great Ian Dury and the Blockheads tune...
First one to say gets a thumbs up from me.

On top of what has been already said.
Our transfer activity means we have some money to invest in the team.
Ryan Kent is on his way to EL..( ok I may have made that last one up but it is still possible.)

I think generally there is a great balance on this site, more so than any other site and whilst people often have differing opinions generally people seem to still respect other people's points of view. Very rarely people get nasty or insulting which is a huge positive.

Reasons to be positive:

A) We don't have PH in charge.....

B) We have managed to get money for our weak link in defence whilst in the process weakening our promotion rivals Brentford.

Bielsa here for another season
Pablo is, despite his aging legs, a little genius
Costa
KP still here (not a mega fanboy, but he's grown into that DM role and can only improve)
Dallas and Harrison looking like players with something other than workrate to offer this season
A number of U23s looking capable of stepping up and affording us the opportunity to rest key players (Strujik for Cooper/White, Shack for Klich, Bogusz for Pablo, Edmondson for Roofe/Bamford, you get the idea)
We support greatest club on the planet!
