Had we gone up Cry is worth 30 plus, Willy 20/25 plus. Think we lose a fair chunk of that now as we're a second tier club still

Meslier Gray Firpo Ampadu Cresswell Struijk James ? Joseph Piroe Georginio - playing here on the left wing, he has way too much talent to leave out We could use a progressive 8, depth at wing back both sides, couple of wingers for depth assuming Cry/Willy/Anthony and Harrison are not playing for us....

He likes to find pockets of space to get the ball andhave time to shoot. More of a late arriver into the box. Sort of like how in the past players like David Platt, Frank Lampard etc would arrive late, not picked up and score - but they couldn't play as strikers. I do think Piroe can play as an out...

All 3 relegated teams are weaker than last season's relegated teams. I don't think we'll have 4 dominant teams in the championship. That's an unknown to be fair. SU are a mess, no clue how Luton will react, doubt the premier league will be chasing their players and they didn't spend high so they sh...

Welcome to the forum.

He's taking the piss out of us ...he's not a Leeds fan

It's given other teams a shot, Had Surrey won or drawn the championship was likely already won

Leeds were the best team in division from game 5 to when we imploded.. not 10 games, 5 games and by a clear margin of around 3 points.

Piroe was very disappointing today. Look at Armstrong's movement off the ball. The difference was night and day. There's quality in Piroe. He's a fantastic finisher and has the goal history to prove it. But I really don't know how we get the best out of him. Maybe Farke's summer rebuild will benefi...

Hants beat Surrey and they're sent packing back up the M3 with just the one bonus point

That was Bielsa's first season in English football, and we had been out of the Prem for a long time, and had players here who had come up short in previous seasons. Farke knows the Championship well and has succeeded twice in achieving promotion. He had a good enough squad at his disposal, but we c...

Saw Stan a few times at Loftus Road ..great memories

True .. if done constructively, and you need to be a good man manager to know who, where and how.

I've not heard anyone else mention it but Georginio has not really been the same since Farke told him essentially to tone it down a bit. Sucked a lot of the joy right out of him! Mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. It generally gets ridiculed. Apparently Archie fired a f**k off at Farke today, at H...

My point wasnt that the robbed minutes cost us the game, we cost ourselves the game Norwich aside weve been awful when leicester literally handed us the a 2nd spot on a plate, every single opportunity we could not capitalise Which is down to the manager imo ... I might have an annoyed moan in game ...

Mid to upper division I reckon. It was a weak Championship this year bar the top 4... I think he could have sneaked 80 plus points, Heckingbottom got 91 last season

Bielsa had experienced campaigners, a set-piece specialist in Pablo & goals from his No.9, central-midfield & CBs. Farke team has none of those attributes. Farke does have those attributes ... To start with Paddy lead the line for both. Creswell is a goal scoring CB. Bamford/Rodon/Ampadu/Pi...

Georginio goes for glory and blasts the ball over the bar, when just next to him is Dan James who would be perfect position to put the ball into the back of the net... if Georginio had only made a simple pass the story might have been different. And how many times have we seen the "simple"...

You and I don't always agree....Ah Hem! ;-) But we agree on this. And I brought it up not too long ago that under Farke we attack much like we did under Marsh. It's very narrow with inverted wingers. (Or Winger). The biggest difference in the two systems is the pressing. Or lack thereof under Farke...

Only one Full/Wing back on the books at the moment
