If Brighton want Wood back (he played for them before) 15m plus Glenn Murray will do nicely. So long as they send Murray our way, we'll be fine.

One good thing - Whilst we didn't get the goal we were after, at least TC did everything in his power to try and make it happen. Was good to see a manager have the courage to to replace a defender with an attacker.

Good point Kiwi. Had forgotten that. And he didn't wait until the 95th minute to make the changes. Definitely think he will have a plan B and probably a plan C

62% possession and 12 attempts on goal. They really figured out how to stop us in our tracks and shut down our offence. at least look at the stats before you try to wind everyone up :) .

OLeary our stats rocketed after they had a man sent off! before that we were definitely the weaker team
I think my friend you should perhaps do what you suggested also

Cura, still don't think it's a fair comment that they 'figured us out' sorry mate. Personally think it's a comment to stir the pot.

Just back from the ground. Firstly, great crowd over 32,000 and good atmosphere. It was an interesting step up for the team and we struggled to get control of the game or create much until Preston got their mad no 4 sent off! After that we were peppering the goal, most that nos didn't quite come off although their goalkeeper made s couple of good saves. Preston even had a chance to steal it at the death. Alioski and Saiz just didn't have the time or space that they had had in midweek. Preston did a good job of closing us down and made it very hard for us to play down the wings like we had been doing. I think we will be well set up for away games but need to find a way of stamping authority on the home games.

Got to be able to adapt and keep the opponent guessing. Above posts are spot on, they were set up to stifle us. I think they go away with a point but I bet it feels like a winπŸ™„. I think TC will learn quickly and adapt. Onwards and upwards MOT πŸ‘

I reckon a draw was about the right result in the end. I have to go on about the poor ref tho, how many times did he tell the PNE goalie to get on with it? If he had got his card out the second time he might have put a bit more urgency into Mr Maxwell ! ! (little rant over, tune in Tuesday for more ref-ranting :) )

Once someone buys Chris wood your just slide down the table lol definitely won't be getting into the premiership any time soon lol Pontus jansson lol that's your best player hahaha how the mighty Leeds have fallen lol but anyway guys you march on together to absolutely nowhere haha

Sorry 1988, I didn't realise you were a supporter of such a massive club like 'The Spurs'. Anyway, good luck this season with your annual target of success (finishing above Arsenal) . Also why 1988? Why not 1961? (The last time you won the title) πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Haha danumwhite, Tottenham are a quality team in the premiership. What are Leeds annual targets? Beating rubbish like Preston or Burton? Haha your team is a mess and has been for years lol love how Leeds fans get pumped up about Pontus jansson lol he's a reject of a terrible team in Italy called Torino lol your spend many more years in that embarrassing league with no hope of getting out and I'm loving it because Leeds fans think they are a big club lol how very wrong you are

Charlie Taylor was an unused sub today, despite Shaun Dyche promising him to be their 1st choice left back. After winning at Chelsea can't see him getting in the team for next match, still more time on his hands to count his wages.

Wood did well for us last season but if we can get 20 mill for him would take it. He is improving and adding to his game but he is still lacking in a lot of areas. Hold up play and assists and his heading I think he will struggle against defenders in premiership. If he gets the ball in the penalty box 8 out of ten he will score but he won't be given space in top flight. A lot of his goals came from deflections, defensive mistakes etc and he ain't going to get many of them against the top teams. Maybe time is right to change as we look like midfield will score more this season. Not sure about this German lad though, but he was highly regarded and scoring well before so maybe took a while to get back into his stride after his injury. Anyway our scouting teams are doing ok so far so will trust their judgement.

Good post as always BIGE. Personally I think it would be a backward step as it would be hard to replace a player who scored 30 goals last season, although Β£20m would be hard to turn down. If it was re-invested, then it would obviously make us stronger, but that's a big if. For now I would rather us keep him and re-assess in January although it might not be all down to Radz's resolve. If Wood has had his head turned by the bright lights of the Premier league and the money that comes with it, we will be powerless to keep him. I honestly don't think Woody will be as prolific in the perm for the same reasons you have stated. So in one way, it's good money for us, but I would sincerely hope we spend big to replace him. MM

No. Wrong. Sell for 18-20
5mill on cb see how roofe goes. Far more fire power in midfield now. Reboot in jan

Roofs is nowhere near good enough! Simple as that,

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2017 19:47:00
Why sell Wood? if we get to PL we will be spending Β£20-Β£30m on a top striker anyway. Keep him at least until end of season his value will go up or at worst drop slightly to Β£15m that's the going rate these days for a top Championship striker.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2017 10:58:13
20 million for wood. Then 12 for Danny ings and 3 for aiden flint/Philip helender and 5 in the bank for January to invest if we're carrying a few wounded soldiers.

I also think the Woodmeister is leaving. I remember my ex boss saying no one is irreplaceable. As with the PV games midweek, we can score goals from midftthis year. Not 100% sure about this german dude, doesn't have the best of records but it is in a higher league. Poster below mentioned Murray, he would be my choice proven in this league. Onwards and upwards. Keep upping n supping. MOT. etc

Wood if sold could still get us promoted as the monies properly reinvested would give us a strong enough squad to get there

Believable2 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2017 08:28:22
Really hate to say it but I fear that wood leaving is inevitable, hopefully Radz n co will get 20+ for him and invest it well! Thoughts on this German bloke or Wells Inngs
Murray
Rhodes Either way if he stays or goes we sure as hell need a quality back up for him!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2017 08:07:55
The thing with wood is anyone can see that there's a revolution starting at ER, he will be a main part of that! he's had one good season, his first season with us he was quite poor, so perhaps he feels like he needs more time. he's the star at the moment, if he leaves to go to one of those three clubs he won't be, he'd be very different. It's not like Taylor, cook, Byram. Woods been to these prem clubs already and failed, maybe he'll realise he's onto a good thing and his development and chance to be a star is with us.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

12 Aug 2017 10:35:00
All good curahee but money talks and if wood can triple or quadruple his wages he'll get over being a star for Leeds and get used to being a star for Burnley

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2017 07:26:07
Take the best price we can get for Wood, the 3 or 4 players we can replace him with the money, will strengthen the squad further and give us a far better chance of promotion

Believable1 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2017 08:43:12
I tend to agree. Like him but it won't be a disaster if we get 20 mill and reinvest in some replacements. Don't think he will be as crucial to us this season as he was last. Having said that, massive statement if they refuse to sell and he doesn't want to go
