Nearly always agree with all the sensible comments on here. We are not robust enough for the big physical teams in this league. We also need to set up more defensively away from home against the top sides. Still think we are 3 or 4 starters short and another 3 or 4 short in the squad . How many of the current squad would be good enough for a midtable prem side starting 11?

{Ed025's Note - very few..

none apart from saiz, i know he has been off form but is a class act, in the prem surrounded by better players he would be allowed more space and be more effective. If i was part of a lot of prem teams i'd look at him, maybe pontus as well, aling on form? outside of that i would honestly say how many would be in a top championship team?

douglas, mayeb kiltch or roofe and pablo, outside of that i think we have average players who are playing well with good amanger rather than good players. like my wife i think we are punching.

That will be 0 Then
Janson maybe and maybe Douglas depends who the mid table team is.

None at the moment, but you can say that about nearly every other championship player. Guess when we get promoted then they will be Premier players. More about the system than the players. How many times have clubs paid big money for a top striker then he's sat on bench firing blanks. Happy with way things are progressing and be happier still if we show intent by signing a couple more in Jan. At end of last season no one thought we would get promoted this one but now we all expect to be in play offs at least. We look more like a team than we have done for years, Young talent coming through. Hope Bielsa can make the right decisions and not fall into the trap of previous managers by persevering with underperformers. Saiz shows he can so signs are good.

Good post mate.
It’s hard to be positive after a defeat.
It’s hard for me to be positive unless we win every game 8-0, but that’s because I’m a miserable git.
But we are improving. We do play as a team. We work hard. We are playing a new system and getting used to it. And we have youngsters for the future. Dips in form should be spotted and steps taken. Bielsa should be told that we are going to buy players in January by the owners so he better choose who he wants.

Berm, you asked a question and then named 7 (seven) so you think we'll only need 4 in when we go up?

I have just read the Biesla has said he doesn't think he needs to add to the squad in January

I am bloody glad he said that. Otherwise I can imagine chairmen at clubs with decent players wringing their sweaty hands and upping the transfer price by a couple of million. After all, Leeds are desperate and they know we still have a big transfer kitty from the summer

No. Better to negotiate from a position of power rather than beg for a player and pay the earth.
