what is wrong with leeds, good manager? not going out of cup to lower league team (yet) ? playing 2nd string and winning when normally best 11 are rubbish? playing with flair, pace and width? and keeping clean sheets? only down side is a think a lot of our players will be leaving for baraclona soon.

Also on another note thoes who can watch ITV london tonight look out for it as myself, Danny Watlers and Charlie Clements will be giving a live interview on the programme. bet I end up looking like a right prat.

It was refreshing to see we have a second string X1 and yes we rode our luck at times but a wins a win just surprised turbull didn't get game time as I thought flapper was leaving? Mind u he pulled of some good saves still think turnbull a better keeper than green mot.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

24 Aug 2016 21:30:49
Turnbull better than Green? Not so sure Pete. Not so long ago green was one of the top keepers in the country. he's probably played, i'm guessing now, 30 times more top flight games than Turnbull. And imo is a more experienced and talented keeper. Obviously this season will tell if his time up but so far so good, barring 1st game of season.
Lets hope i'm right for a change!

Does make laugh. we lose people moan, we win, people moan, this was a leeds reserve team last night, first time in a long time we have been able to change ALL 11 players? C money guys let's get behind monk and all the boys and let's get the good timex back.

Lucky gamble by monk but we got result. Saw good and bad of sylvestris game again though his saves were crucial. Bamba once again nearly cost us game and baffles me what Murphy brings to the table, both to go imo. Grimes did not get into game, could not fault Douks effort but needs to get ball in net. Denton took me by surprise, know he is a talent seen him often enough, but he was really up for it. Thought he might struggle a bit against more physical players but showed great composure. Well done that lad.

Not really a lucky gamble more a calculated gamble Bige. Our second string should beat Luton at their ground. You are right in your assessment of the players mentioned though. Grimes doesn't have even a quarter of the talent Chris Dawson had and appears equally incapable on the physical side. He's a mistake and can see him spending the whole season playing for the reserves taking up a spot which could be better used developing one of our own. Bamba and Murphy will leave next week imo and will each find themselves League One clubs. Can't see Diagouraga moving on, think we will be lumbered with him will probably make the odd sub appearance. Other than that, the squad is looking good. Add a new central defender and a striker you've got to fancy us for top 6. I'm hoping we sell Taylor also. 7m could be wisely spent.

Agree5 Disagree0

24 Aug 2016 18:20:12
Good post George. You're point re dawson makes a lot of sense, grimes will surely be confined to the odd sub appearance. Mind you the rest of the players he's brought in look good.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2016 11:01:35
Is there anyone else out there that is glad to see Charlie Taylor still playing for us. Understand that he has offers to go to the Prem but still think our defence is better with him in it, every game is a bonus for us. From what I've read I am not entirely convinced he wants to go and that it is his agent trying to make some money from him, how often does that happen. Monk still picks him in the team, tells me he has a decent opinion of the lad. Thoughts?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Aug 2016 11:25:55
I hope he stays now. Unless we have been doing a bit of business on the sly it would be too late to lose him at this stage. If we were selling him, then we should have 6 weeks or so ago. Our defence has been pretty reliable the past two league games, so I wouldn't want that to change in the next week. I listened to his interview and I'm not so sure if he wants to stay or not. He said things like he trusts his agent to do the best for him and he kept referring to us (Leeds) as them, so take from that what you will.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2016 11:48:21
I think Charlie does want to go. He handed a transfer request in for one and his latest comments suggest that if he stays this season it won't be down to him and he'll definitely be off at the end of the season.

For me, I would prefer for him to go now and sign the young left back from Walsall before anyone else does. Taylor will play well enough whilst he is with us but won't tear any trees up either as he's got one eye on a big move. A new face with a future at Leeds to play for would possibly be better in the bigger scheme of things.

MM.

24 Aug 2016 13:25:32
im not really bothered if he stays or goes. he will be off in Jan if not now I reckon so we may as well cash in. not sure how much he will put in for us if he stays as he clearly wants to go elsewhere.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2016 14:01:28
We still get money for him when he goes so may as well use him for the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2016 14:37:03
Wex

Not if we keep him til January then he moves abroad end of season. Then we've turned 7m into 250k.

I know he's likely to stay in England this stage of his career but it ain't worth the risk.

Sell! Sell! Sell!

Taylor saying he trusts his agent to do what's best for him is just a coded way of saying he has to obey his agent/ handler else incur his wrath and a court claim.

Cellino, sell already.

Agree6 Disagree1

24 Aug 2016 23:47:20
FFS We should have let him go months ago and had Rico Henry signed sealed and delivered. He doesn't want to be at Leeds! Get the money, invest in Rico, swoop for Nahki Wells and another CB, get rid of Bamba and tell Taylor FORK OFF!

Love your posting style Hooks. How do you really feel about Taylor though?

25 Aug 2016 07:06:20
Don't think he's sure how he feels about Taylor.
Very much on the fence about him.

Monk took a big gamble last night by making 11 changes and he was lucky it came off, we could have lost and maybe should have really.

I agree we need to use squad but 11 changes? - no way any manager should do that, just glad he got away with it.

Momentum is a key thing in football, keep winning and it builds, still at least we won and I would rather a lucky manager than a good one, just hope he doesn't change whole 11 again and has learnt something from the game. ( I know we won so he would say job done but we were a bit lucky and if he had lost with that team? well the D mirror guy would be writing more s*** for sure) .

risky, but job done and some good experience for some of the lads.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Aug 2016 09:49:07
So we won and we're through to the next round. Squad rotation worked but we were lucky. It seems that Monk is looking for more players. If Taylor is going a left back will be one, would still like a pacey forward who looks like he can get 20 goals, Roofe has potential but will take time to aclimatise to the championship. Another por showing from Bamba means that is where Monk should also be looking. The players brought in by Monk look to have enhanced the squad bringing in much needed pace and we'll as bite, with the exception of Grimes who looks poor. So out should go Taylor (unfortunately ) Dave, Murphy and Bamba.
