We need a draw at least on Tues. unfortunately for us Saint Maximin is back for them.. he’ll cause us plenty of problems

Major investment boost for Leeds today. 49ers increased stake to 39% I believe. Not seen the numbers yet but this is good news. They’re a very well run outfit the 9ers

I've never really managed to really get into NFL. I like watching the highlights, and the Americas game documentary on sky are great, but it's too stop start for me. But I would love to see a NFL style structure in SL, and I'd like to see a similar salary cap/revenue distribution too.

he looked well off the pace when he came on. surely gonna take him several more games to get up to anything like full fitness.

lets say it how it is they are bloody awful and offer very little going forward as long as we don't offer them gifts like we did at ER. it does look like Bruce has lost the dressing room so an early goal and i can see a west brom style thumping and Bruce to be sacked by morning. anything less than a win would be a poor result.

Looking at our strongest 11 taking Forshaw and Koch out of the equation and we don`t look too bad.
It`s our lack of strength in depth that does us.
I would like us to sign a LB and Danny Rose would do nicely for me.
Messlier
Ayling Llorente Cooper Rose
Philipps
Dallas/Harrison Bamford Hernandez Raphina
Rodrigo

Subs that can come on to bolster
Harrison/Dallas
Klich
Shackleton
Gelhdart
Greenwood
Edmondson
Bogusz
Alioski
Davis
Sruijk
Caprile

Llorente needs sacking off. Spanish Adam Forshaw.

Yep couldn’t agree more re strength in depth. We don’t have the quality to bring in. Leeds know that. I’m sure it’ll be improved in the summer

Needs a good long think about in the summer that’s for sure. Can’t keep carrying him with the injuries he’s getting. Our squad isn’t big enough to do so

I`ve never known a CF who is afraid to shoot on sight as bad as Bamford.
His control of the ball is poor in the box. and why does he need to take an extra touch.
Hit the fecking ball at goal ffs.
As for Harrison he cannot win the ball in the air and loses it so many times.
I`m saying this as they can combine to score a couple of goals in the second half (fingers crossed)
We`ve dropped off the pace a bit after scoring and we are letting them come back into it.
Good job they are crap and low on confidence hence why we need another early goal.

That was stressful, as soon as we upped the tempo we looked dangerous, but we seemed reluctant to get out of 2nd gear. Rodrigo and Raphinha were quality though, and Messlier was also excellent, his distribution was the best it's looked it's been in a Leeds shirt.
