And another one for the future! At this rate we will see Brexit and the Plastics Pleadge reap rewards before our first team! We will be plastic free, flying driverless cars, and have houses on Mars before we fans see us having a great squad! 😂😂

Mikewoody nice one mate

11 Jan 2018 20:07:06
We signed Michael J. Fox yet?

11 Jan 2018 20:15:34
Sarkic has been scoring regularly for the development squad 5 in last 7 games, surely a better choice to be on the bench for first team than Lasogga or Grot?

11 Jan 2018 21:55:12
Give him a run. Certainly can't do any worse.

11 Jan 2018 21:56:36
Maybe we kept him in the dev squad to keep the price down?

11 Jan 2018 22:27:38
When Lasogga first played and was scoring it was great but his form has nose dived dramatically since he became a Dad and the big difference now is when I see his name I am totally underwhelmed! When I see the ball go towards Félix, I put my hands over my eyes like I’m watching a horror movie!

As much as I like Beradi and Ayling I’m always expecting red cards! Then there’s Hernandez who looks so knackered all the time I dread his form in the second half! Then there’s Anita Harris who is five yards off the pace with no chance of catching up! Then there is the undisputed biggest liability at Leeds Mr Philips, who is a car crash waiting to happen and always on the edge!

Cooper although been quite good in some games is like a very dodgy tennis player, really hit and miss! I don’t have any words for Grot other than he needs a Sat Nav to help him find the back of the net! Then we have the really bad dancing on ice duo, Siaz and Alioski, just imagine how much of a shift they could put in if they didn’t keep falling over!

Thankfully we have Pontus as he is our rock, and Roofe is amazing considering he’s been in more different positions than those studying the Karma Sutra! We must be the most resilient and loyal supporters God ever created! 😂😂🤣🤣

11 Jan 2018 22:54:09
Could be Grot could certainly do with a run out at u23

12 Jan 2018 04:34:00
Bit harsh on berahdi cooper and ayling and hernandez and saiz actually.

poor analysis not sure you're watching the same games, if they're that bad why are we 5 places off top, the rest of the teams in this league must be awful. I've said it before ill say it again. how many times to teams go up to the prem and the same players just get better, almost never. i give bournemouth a lot of credit because whenever they've bought a player since being in the pl he's been a youngster looking to develop, other than that, steve cook, arter, surman, boruc, smith, francis, were all in the championship with them and stepped up. point i'm making is that a lot of the players you see now wil have 1/2 games in the pl if we get there, then be sent straight down to the lower leagues and promotion money will be invested. brighton, huddersfield, leicester, swansea, all proving this in recent years. with the way we invested in 14 new faces this year so far, i can see orta signing another 10 next year, i'd say 5 of which will be good enough to go out and win games.

12 Jan 2018 10:35:19
I don’t think he knows who he is signing, pull a name out of the hat oh yes we’re get this one,

12 Jan 2018 10:44:57
Sorry Samo about my poor analysis and thanks for pointing out that I’m watching the wrong games, I will make sure I’m at the right match this weekend!

12 Jan 2018 11:35:03
dont be salty fella were both here for the same reason, just my view against yours

12 Jan 2018 13:37:59
Mike, I always enjoy reading your posts but I wonder how the heck we have reached 6th with so many misfiring players. Some I would contend do need to be looked at but some do have the skill and endeavour the only thing they lack is consistency. We have shown that we can raise our game and sometimes, for no apparent reason, everything clicks. The only problem is they cannot do it often enough and so "go on a run". I never want to get into the realms of which team will turn up but a season of flair games with weeks of grinding out a result will do me.

12 Jan 2018 18:19:39
Thanks Leodis and I do enjoy reading yours and Samowhites as well. A bloke who I was sat next to at Elland Road while watching us draw with Forest actually said to me, I am at Elland Road aren’t I? It’s just that for some reason I thought I’d taken the wrong junction and arrived at Rotherhams ground! I coudnt stop laughing! So I wrote that post because I was really peed off, I just can’t understand how we played so well against Sunderland and Forest at the beginning then now with the same payers we have been shocking, I just want, like all of us on here, players to play their hearts out for the shirt and they are not, some are worse than others, so that post while it was in honesty was over the top but it really is how I see some of them now especially Lasogga, you would think it was him who had give birth! and Samowhite I didn’t mean my post to come across like that it was just off the cuff! There isn’t one poster I dislike on here and from the many faces of Fu Man Swadlad!

12 Jan 2018 21:38:29
Funny Mike! 🤣😂🤣

13 Jan 2018 11:20:55
Hey Alf, if you think that’s funny. I was unfortunately invited through work to watch Middlesborough v Chelsea years ago when Chelsea were not good and Boro were worse under the management of Bryan Robson! Anyway I’m in the hospitality lounge just had my meal and they lead us out to our seats, I’m sat next to this guy who is looking around seeming quite chatty, so the teams come out and they start calling out the team names, the guy next to me starts fumbling away in his bag, pockets and inside jacket pockets, he stands up looking panicked, so I said are you ok mate, have you lost something, he turned and stared straight at me and says “Fu##ing hell, I thought it looked different! I thought I was watching Sunderland! I’m a Sunderland supporter! ” i'm not watching this s***e! He then turned and walked off! How would you not know? 😂😂

Is Saiz's new nickname the Spitting Cobra? Stupid boy, Pike.

11 Jan 2018 16:03:17
Has anyone on here ever been to a beamback? Is there a decent atmosphere or is it really just to see the game?

11 Jan 2018 16:53:55
Alf, I went to the Brentford beam back last season but unfortunately we were poor from the outset and lost therefore little opportunity for an atmosphere to be created. I think it cost £10 to watch the game with a free pie and pint therefore not bad value for money

11 Jan 2018 11:53:57
Without Saiz, think I might go 4-3-3 with Alioski, Hernandez and Roofe up top, Philips, O' Kane and Viera in the middle.

11 Jan 2018 14:26:04
Worst thing we can do. Pablo like for like, same formation. When Pablo tires in a game put on extra midfielder close game out. Therefore we must aim to score our goals in the first 70 minutes.

11 Jan 2018 10:05:16
In fairness to orta, we've wanted a LB all year. Yes we should have had this ladin the pipe line before taylor went, but were a third of the way through and 2/3 of my personal targets are in. i'm happy with that business. Hope ideguchi proves he's too good for the second spanish div. De bock is someone with experience, i think he will ease this league personally, really good feeling about him. that defence is now solid, even without ayling, its a good back 4, keeper with second most clean sheets in the league, yes he fumbles, and yes he isn't the best in the league, but he is getting better and is slowly adapting. we've asked for a left back, got him, we've asked for a cm, got him too, maybe the back room staff do also know what's required and aren't as delusional as we thought, then again playing lasogga week in week out. team for saturday for me: wield, berardi, jansson, coops, de bock, okane, phillips, alioski, hernandez, cibicki, roofe

11 Jan 2018 12:30:57
Let's see him play before we expect too much, as fans we have built some of these 'foreign gambles 'up, only to be let down once we see them play, I do hope samo that we bring another 1 or 2 in but it wouldn't suprise me if that's it for us, tc has said he's happy with midfield and forwards. could do with Dallas back to free Pablo up for the 10 role but not sure how much longer he will be out, any news on viera for Saturday?

11 Jan 2018 08:48:34
Marriott is valued at 7 mil by Peterborough and it's reported both us and Villa are after him. Having more than one team trying to sign him will keep his asking price high. I doubt Peterborough will get 7 mil for him being offered by either team, but think we will be priced out of the move. Marriott will probably end up at Villa or can see him going to Sunderland, don't think we have any hope of signing him, would like him though.

11 Jan 2018 09:51:33
We can out bid Sunderland. They don't have a pot to pee in.

11 Jan 2018 14:28:17
I believe we can get Marriott for around 5m and Maddison for 3m. Not like we don't have the money. Wood, Taylor sales brought in 22m.

11 Jan 2018 17:54:15
Villa have to sell to buy, they're not in the best of financial health, so, let's be having him . and his mate. M and M, very nice for the new year;)

11 Jan 2018 00:55:43
Hugill and Marriott up front, Coyle back from loan, Maddison or Vela in middle, Ryan Kent wing on loan, Bock at left back plus a quality centre half and keeper and we are contenders for automatic promotion I think. Send CBJ and Lassoga back to their clubs and Grot, Cibiki and BPF (keeper) out on loan too.

11 Jan 2018 07:11:40
ahhhh phil, what a great post. Everything said is spot on, other than we don't need ryan kent. If you're signing strikers roofe will play out wide. Ins - Hugill, Marriott, Vela, Bock, coyle Out - CBJ, Lasogga, cibicki, sacko, klich. BYE BYE DEAD WOOD get iff iur wage bill

11 Jan 2018 07:36:49
Thought is there Phil, but we all know we won't bring that many in!

11 Jan 2018 07:45:15
So change 50% of the team? Think that might be a tad drastic 1/2 should do it Pace out wide and a cf

11 Jan 2018 09:39:21
Agree Lasogga should be sent back to his parent club along With CBJ, If Possible to end their loans early. Grot, Klich, Cibicki either dropping down to development squad or loaned out, all 3 are signed on long contracts so we either pay them off or hope someone else want them. Pity our second tier Spanish team couldn't take them.
