NEW AWAY KIT!
If you go on luke murphys twitter account there is a new photo of him holding the new blue away shirt up with his name and number on back. Nice colour.

If Brian stays and we keep on with the signing, I'd say promotion in next 2-3 seasons.
Believable0
Unbelievable0
Why not promotion next season. When Brian first came we won 3 out of 5 games with a poor squad. We've bolstered our squad so surely we should be looking to maintain that 3 wins out of 5 games throughout the whole season
Agree0
Disagree0
That probably won't get you a top 2 finish, normally you have to avarage2 pts a game.
Agree0

This team right now will not go up. there r far better teams in this league like reading and bolton we need 2 years probably

Everyone seems to be saying thatbwe need to sign this player and that player but brian needs more than one season can you imagine our team in maybe a seasons time when brian has had 3 transfer windows to work in and our youngsters have been given more time. Okay we may lose byram or lees in that time but that was going to happen anyway then we willbe ready for promotion

Agree, patience is key.

Exactly! Bmac is proven in recent years 2 be successful.

I would love to see Dawson, Killock, Taylor, Poleon etc become regulars over the next 12 to 18 months even if it means waiting a bit longer for promotion. BMD is finally the man to make this happen however long it takes.
Agree0
Disagree0
Stupid statement ' May lose Byram and Lees, that was going to happen anyway', it hasn't happened and no reason why it should
Agree0
Disagree0
As long as fans are prepared to give him time, and not jump on his back if were not walking it by Christmas
Agree0
Disagree0
The last 10 yrs are not brians or gfh fault, I think their all the best we have had for 10 yrs and we should be patient with them all. next season if we play football that's good to watch and we bring some kids through thatll do for me.
Agree0
Disagree0
A few of them youngsters are not good enough, especially killock
Agree0
Disagree0
Obviously leeds will sell byram this year or next. every top player wants 2 better themselves and byram needs better players than we have to progress but lees I really dnt see why anyone above us would want him, he's ok 4 us but not great so I wouldn't worry bout him
Agree0
Disagree0
Nothing 'obvious' about selling Byram, he wants to play for Leeds and help get us promoted, some fans really aren't very bright or supportive
Agree0
Disagree0
Byram will leave simple as that.
Agree0
Disagree0
To the above poster, yeah so did Snodgrass and Becchio. Wake up. Sooner or later Byram will go, as will Lees. May not be this window or even the next but they will leave soon.
Mr Happy - and that, people, is how I got my name.

I know it's pre-season and we should not read a great deal into the loss in Slovenia however a loss is a loss, and B Mac will not be happy one bit, rest assured he will have noticed the weaknesses, but I still can't help but feel we have missed a trick not making a CB a top priority this transfer window, we have been increasingly poor defensively previous seasons and this is one area I thought B Mac may look to improve on as priority, instead we have signed 2 strikers and a midfielder. I know we still have Byram to come back but apart from that our defence is average at best.
I always grew up learning the first key to winning a match is not conceding, of which we fail to do on a regular basis putting more pressure on the rest of the team to make up for the weak goals we had conceded. I probably won't stop going on about how we should have signed Matt Upson, and I'm sure the season ahead will show why we should have signed him, despite his age. As for what is available defensively, Reece Wabara has been heavily linked, but have we actually seen him play higher than league one standard or are we just hoping that because he was as City he will be good enough for this division?
There aren't many decent defensive options available, that we are aware of anyway, but I'm really hoping we can pull a big one out the bag as this is where we are weak.

Richard dunne would solve our problems he is twice the player than upson at his age.

If you're going to lose a game it's best to lose it in pre-season so the weaknesses can be dealt with going into the games that matter

Pearce, Warnock & Peltier have had little or zero game time at centre back in pre-season. In fact Pugh has started there in the Slovenia games. This must surely suggest that Brian is waiting on a centre back?
My concern is why Peltier has played all 3 pre-season games at right back. He's either going to be a bench warmer or Byram is getting sold to pay for the centre back and GMS. Thoughts?

Byram's still got a bit of an injury.
Agree0
Disagree0
He's been playing there because he's our only right back on the tour. Bryan's injured
Agree0
Disagree0
Byram to move to right wing
Agree0
Disagree0
It's because Byram is injured.
Agree0
Disagree0
Maybe he's going to play him in a more attacking position as everyone keeps saying doubt he would be sold one of the best prospects in the league and we seem financially stable so don't need to.
Agree0
Disagree0
He won't be played out of position, he'll play right back. Sick of people making comparisons to Bale just because he's a full back and very good. He's quick but hasn't got electric pace or the dynamism that Bale ALWAYS had!
Agree0
Disagree0
I know byram's injured, you're missing the point. Who's playing centre back vs Brighton on opening day!
Agree0
Disagree0
If you love bale that much go support spurs
Agree0
Disagree0
Bale hasn't always been that good a player when he first joined spurs he couldn't get anywhere near the first team and now look at him
Agree0
Disagree0
Peltier is a decent rb and byram is better as a rm.

Steve Bruce is willing to part with Cameron Stewart, does any one think he is worth trying to get. since we helped them they get promoted they should do a cheap deal with us
Believable0

We didn't help them, leeds fans would never help hull we just won the game like a team should try to. stewart is very poor so no thanks

Tabrat to go out on season long loan awe please gfh he is what we are missing in the squad there is no stand out player in our team at the moment and the news from Brian didn't seam convincing today when he said he hopes to sign one player before the start of the season looks like we will be in for a long season ahead and to give away to late goals tonight brings back memories of the last few seasons and not putting teams away when we create chances. our defence is still weak and needs a good centre back in it to have any hope this season.

LOL qpr will loan him to a prem team not another championship team, please use your brain plus take your negative attitude away
Agree0
Disagree0
Would be great- a real statement of intent but I doubt we could afford wages and I doubt he would choose us over several premier league and continental sides and we are in the same league as them so it would be a dangerous move for them
Agree0

Can't believe people want the guy!
Doubt he'd be here to play for his love of Leeds.

No 1 at leeds is here 2 play 4 the love of leeds. 99% of players will go to the most money. u really think austin is here 4 the love of the club? yet he wanted 2 go to qpr once. all our players say they joined cus of leeds being leeds but actually there here cus if they had 4 or 5 offers they will choose leeds as they probably are the bigger team out of the 5 but main thing is the other 4 probably offerd less wages. no 1 is here 4 the love of leeds we just the best they can get.
