Roofe is poor. I thought one of his assets was pace. He hasn't anything like what is needed in the championship. Always regarded Vierra as a very good prospect. He can't pass yet but it is hoped that will improve. Unfortunately the rest of his game has slumped recently - it should recover. Alioski has been good but lightweight and very poor. Maybe he misses Saiz.

Phillips has an all round game that is average at best in the championship. He is reckless and can be hindrance on occasions. Hernandez has class but is inconsistent. I like Forshaw in the midfield. O'Kane is OK but he makes too many mistakes in and around our penalty area. Dallas is not great but is a decent all rounder. Good squad player. Jansson is good. De Bok? I hope he is still settling in. Was found wanting a few times in his first few games.

Ayling and Beradi are fine when they manage to play. Cooper is average at best Goal Keepers? We could do better. Lasogga is a class finisher but needs service. Taylor hasn't played but he's a stiker who couldn't get into an Albion side that can't score goals and was at Walsall. Hope he can step up better than Roofe, Bottom line. We need a keeper, at least one decent winger, centre half and a strong creative midfielder and maybe a striker for starters. Hope Orta can sort it!

Steve McLaren rumoured to be looking to buy a football club with Leeds one of the possibilities. Hence why he was seen at the Cardiff game at ER. I personally hope not but if the money was right would AR sell?

Has he got that. much

He was there as a guest of Paul Butler, while he was still a coach. He can only be a front man for a syndicate tho I'd have thought?

He is reportedly fronting a consortium, but does anyone know who is part of the money men ?

AR won't sell until at least 2020.

And he told ya that did he George ?

No Corky but it's fairly obvious to work out. Having bought back the ground he will want to show 2 to 3 years' gate receipts without deductions or rental payments in order to maximize on superprofits or goodwill. That's where he'll drive up the valuation. He won't lose money on us when he sells.

Fair enough George that makes sense.

Thats an accurate assumption unless he is offered big money now.

He will get more money selling a premiership team.

Whitey but of course. When a Leslie Silver buys us it is partly even significantly for love because he was local. Same might go for a Caddick, a Sykes, Healey or Meeson but when a billionaire Italian does it, it's not because they see the errors of their ways of eating olive oil drenched pasta and want to swap it for Yorkshire pud and steak n kidney pie and say "aye up" instead of bongiorno in morning. It's to make more denaros off an undervalued previously poorly managed giant. Proof of Radz culture gap and miscalculation is crestgate.

Like to see ekuban and Lassoga play as two strikers but I've looked at team and I've looked at every formation known to man and I just don't think we can play 4-4-2. We have to in my opinion have saiz and hernandez in the team and we can't do that with 4-4-2. Think today we got caught cold. And silly individual error by okane (again) cost us.

Tell that to George will ya Mighty. He seems to think we can leave out Saiz and Hernandez. There is no way we can play two strikers with them in the team, or even one of them for that matter. Imagine two strikers with Saiz and Hernandez behind them, the midfield would be totally over run.

Way I would do it and I know it ain't perfect but Alioski irritates me as does Okane so they are both out. Wied in goal, Bera rb, DeB lb, Pontus and Penny complete back 4. RV and Forshaw middle, Dallas and Hernandez wings with instructions and license given to Hern to come inside and bit of freedom, Lassy and Ekuban.

Eku good hold up play, Lassy can finish. Main player off bench Saiz. I know this controversial because Saiz our best player but I believe you must be loyal to formation and structure first. Fact is Wood no longer plays for us (excellent lone forward at this level whereas Lassy need help and we ought to be playing to his strengths because he can finish) and we need a goal threat while retaining balance and shape and transition between attack and defence.

Saiz can come on last half hour and replace potentially 6 players without causing imbalance. I'm not saying Saiz is carp. I know he our best player but team more important. That's how I'd do it. George out.

Well put again George and I can see where you’re coming from. Not sure on leaving Saiz out.

Saiz is a striker. he plays in the gap

Agree but would play Saiz and Ekuban up front and use Lass as sub

Thanks Corky. You can go like for like and swap out Hern for Saiz. Roberts will come into things too. You right though. Hern or Saiz not both. Siamese twins luxury ill afforded. I just feel at this level players aren't good enough to execute a 4-2-3-1. Promotes too many cooks and gaps for opponents to capitalize on and in key areas. 4-4-2 simpler and we can get on scoresheet a lot easier. A basic tenet of the game is when you concede heads of the opposition go down and depression sets in. Lassy can cause that depression if only given the service.
