Leeds are expected to bring close to 7000 fans to Ewood Park on Saturday for their lunch time kick off against Blackburn Rovers

Blackman and Baker have barely kicked a ball, Harrison blows hot and cold and Brown is still returning from injury.
Am I being harsh?

The 27-year-old is also being entrusted to lead the line in the Europa League, having netted in both of their qualifying matches to help the club reach the group stages.
Did we let him go too soon?

Antonsson, like Antenuci, good players at the club at the wrong time being asked to play out of position by shite managers.
I think Antennuci would thrive under Belisa and his system.

IMHO we always had the players to compete at the sharp end of the league, but without the necessary leadership to instill in them the belief and discipline to do so. We proved at the front end of the year that we had the ability to rip teams apart, but always appeared to lack the fitness. This told after around 10 games or so.

As for the loan signings, for me, Baker has looked decent when he has played for us, getting himself into good positions. Harrison has shown flashes of the player he can be but also been frustrating as well. Definitely looked better on the left last week when he switched there with Alioski moving to left wing back (if Douglas is out of the next game, and Hernandez isn't fit to return). I would then move Clarke onto the right wing.

As for Blackman, jury is out. He hasn't looked any better the BPF so for me BPF stays as i would rather us develop our own than someone else's.



Obviously nobody has seen anything of Brown as he is injured, but if (and admittedly it is a big IF) he comes back to us with the form he has shown in previous years then he will be a huge asset.

I'll be one of them

No your not being harsh Matt

NO! simple fact is Antonsson wasn't up to championship level, a type of player who fits in well at a club like Malmo

We've since added a couple more so I guess we needed a back up with some Champ. experience. Though I do think he (Blackman) was bought here as a starter, no way he agrees to that loan to sit on the bench..

Harrison is raw, has a decent ceiling but is playing too slow for me at the moment and up to now a little to one footed to be truly effective in the Champ.

Baker has flashed, and Brown we're not paying for other than what it's costing us to re-hab him

I still don't what the point in loans is unless you're a poor lower league club or in depth difficulties

He played the majority of the season between the stix for the blunts last term and had raving reviews - a year on, you'd have thought he would have progressed more.

Huffer showed in pre season he is not ready yet, though Leeds do have a Polish keeper they are excited about, though I can't remember his name.

I see BPF improving visibly with almost every game. Still extremely young for a keeper. Believe his up side is tremendous and if we stick with him we will be rewarded greatly.
