not an important game and don't mind going out. read reports we have been poor, one good thing to come from it, is it will hopefully show lack in depth to powers that be and get a loan or two in to cover long season as at the moment few injuries and our season is derailed as maybe shows tonight.

Yeah I think it is a game that perhaps shows a lack of depth maybe our undoing this season . At home against 10 men I certainly would like to think the players out there are good enough to win . Bit of a wake up call perhaps.

Don't mention the lack of depth or the fact our squad is not enough for promotion.

Storm clouds gathering. Prepare for a cyclone. Not enough depth. Could this be more significant than just a League Cup exit?

Just got back from the game and as some of us have said before that another couple of signings wouldn't go a miss as injuries and suspensions will come along. I hope Radz and the sometimes smug Mr Kinnear realise this as well and despite the great start get a bit more quality in.

I have agreed with you from the start wex, that squad needs at least 3 to give us a chance over the course of the season. think we will maybe see one come in. still need another wide player, cb cover even though mb says not, and another fwd, Forshaw hopefully back in a couple of wks will definitely strengthen us.

Not sure we got the strength in depth for whole season.
Will need additions.

Wex

Huge smile from me. I am guessing that "I told you so taste sweet.

I haven't been able to see the Preston match yet so I can only view the opinions of other fans, bit it doesn't make good reading

I will always maintain that Leeds United players, like any professional sportsmen, should be exactly that, professional. However i recognise it as a blind spot too. Maybe, just maybe some of those guys aren't professional in there approach to representing my beloved team.

However, would you agree that our 1st XI is pretty decent? If so, then who would want to come in on loan to be a bench warmer?

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 11:24:34
Our first 11 players are playing great we need forshaw back. We need cover at CB cover for ayling cover for saiz and another striker and Radz to spend money. Sold Taylor sold Wood sold viera to name a few where's the investment.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 11:44:28
39 mill to buy the club, 20 mill to buy the ground and your asking were is the investment? If we still had bates I could understand your beef but come wasn't built in a day wex.

Agree2 Disagree1

Where is the 20 million that we were told was there for transfers this season Martyn that's what we were told. Take the sale of viera we should have had 25. We didn't spend a fraction of that. Loan window closes in a couple of days another season of mediocrity.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 12:38:25
Spent 15 mill on bamford and Douglas and wages for three loans. No point spending wex if you can't get the right players. Would you rather go back to the bates days?

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 13:17:19
Bamford 7million Douglas 3.5 players offloaded viera sold Wood sold Taylor sold biggest earnings in the league from tv money biggest attendance. Martyn we deserve much more.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 20:40:42
Ring to 10 mill and 5 mill, wood was last yr mate and Taylor we only got compensation for as he was out of contract. I'd rather be balancing the books than in debt and breaking the rules like a lot of teams. I Don't know where this negativity has come from with you as you used to be positive all the time. I think Whitemans hacked your account 😉.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 20:51:02
Taylor brought in the region of 6million in compensation.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 21:42:47
The compensation was "undisclosed" so it's all speculation and conjecture, which is as about as accurate as Ronny Rosenthal from 3 yards.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 21:56:11
It's easy to spend someone else's money but I personally think he's doing ok. It's prob harder than we think to balance wages and keep inside this fair play farce thing. He's maintained all along it's a 5yr plan and I'm sure we'll all be here to see it happen. Fingers crossed.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2018 23:36:33
Well we have gone backwards in the first 2 years of the plan.

Have to say Giles’s, I really enjoyed going. I love the first team games but it’s a different experience and great to get close to the players and coaching staff. Really great evening out. Next game is in Elland Road during the international break.

I like to get to as many as i can, which will be hard this season due to work commitments. Cost nothing 3 quid, and you see the players progressing and see the talent they have and how its developed. Very impressed with Corbaran. When you see a young one step up from U18/ 19s, like Kamwa this year, and you see straight away he has something you want to see him do well, gives you hope for the future. that's why it annoys me when we buy players like Roberts, unproven young inexperienced, we have them allready.

Team and prediction for tonight:

Blackman, obvious reasons. Shackleton, Deserves it. Shaugnessy, Think he should be ready by now, gone under the cuff a bit. Ayling (playing as a CB as Berardi could do with a rest) , Rest Jansson for Friday, much bigger game. Pearce, Deserves it. Baker, deserves it, looks a player imo. Phillips, Klich is more important to be rested for Friday. Harrison, expect a good performance tonight, he needs one most other players have had one by now. Roberts, Deserves it after pre season and didn't play for 23's last night. Bamford, Point to prove. Think we need to rest saiz too, having saiz that, jansson, saiz roofe, alioski, BPF will probably all make the bench. Could be a tough game though and I think its starting to show that we're missing Forshaw, only a matter of time before phillips has another howler. Would like to see dallas back soon, Clarke and edmondson both played a full game last night which is a shame, doubt they'll feature.

2-1 leeds bamford to get both.

My worry with Phillips is he has a poor recovery rate and three games a week means he will be playing below par before long. don't know why he is like that but showed with U23s and was his downfall last season. Different player when fresh, hopefully Bielsa will sort that out.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2018 18:17:59
I hope Phillips gets a night off tonight, too much to expect him to play every game. I think he might play Pontus, as he hasn’t had much game time, perhaps captain? Shaunessy, Pearce, Shackleton, Baker, Roberts, Harrison, Bamford, just not sure how you fill the Phillips and Klich positions?

Agree0 Disagree0

I’m amazed that Poch guard etc hold him in such high esteem. Rating him as their biggest influence. That sorta talk is not to be sniffed at.
From what I’ve seen he is soo focused on every minute of the game, as soon as something unexpected happens he addresses.
Don’t want to tempt fate but it really looks like we have the right guy and every chance of going up!

Early days but we now have a manager who is not scared of experimenting and who obviously has more than a plan A in his locker. Thinking play offs at least.
