When I saw him on Saturday I thought exactly the same, he reminded me of bats, strach, speed & mcal rolled into one.
Yeah can't argue with ya their. Top championship player. Needs a good midfield to help him though

Being optimistic and having a different view on things
A couple of seasons we complained about old loan signings, now we have bought/loaned but they are younger and need time to develop and gel as a team. If this was pre-season it would be a good time but due to signings, managers etc I feel we still need time as a team as understand each other.
I agree we need an experienced midfield player, at least one winger and hopefully the service will result in more goals and control of the game
A mid table finish is what I am expecting.

Think it's time to drop bianchi this weekend, just don't see what he offers! Not a great range of passing, no goal threat, often let's his man drift past him and is hardly strong in the tackle. What exactly does he bring to the team?
Agree with that Maestro I don't really see what he does and seen him in all bar 1 home games and you can easy make a case for dropping a few more (Pearce, Doukara for sure and maybe time to rest Cook or Adryan, I would use Adryan as an impact sub as we are away).
We have got to stop people coming at us so easy away from home. It has been a bad couple of weeks for us on/off the pitch and it is pissing me off.
Away from home you have to stay in the game, play ugly sometimes, dig in and at some point if you do that the home team will give you the odd chance, could be time to pay 1 up front away from home, we need points/confidence and I just don't understand our 2 performances after the Derby win when we looked pretty solid- weird.
These next few games will be a test of the manager to see whether he can identify the shortcomings people os system. I would certainlynot be averse to a few changes along the lines you have suggested with a tighter/conservative approach away from home, fresh legs and a protection of the kids.
Give Bianchi some midfielders that can dominate every week and he'd do just fine, atm he's being made to work overtime due to the kids that can't dictate nothing.
Stats show Bianchi is by far our best midfielder. I'll share one with you. Last weekends games saw Bianchi top the leader board for most attacks broken down (14) more than any other midfielder (source = news now)

Only stats I'm interested in are goals scored/conceded, like to think I can form my own opinion after watching a match. If you think bianchi has been our best midfielder by far then I can't agree. Better than mowett, seriously!
Well the article I viewed suggest otherwise. More tackles, more touches, more passes and equal amounts of assists as Mowatt. i'm not a Yorkshire man so I have no local bias

Bianchi is sound would be better with Sloth alongside in away games. Said all along we can't play Cook every game without his form suffering for it. Mowatt good going forward but no midfield general and needs two solid players behind him if we are playing Adryan as well
Maybe we haven't looked as solid since Derby game becos Pearce came in? Coincidence? I think not.

Lets get some wingers in January now that we are allowed to sign players on certain wages. Then the defenders we have been using in those positions can defend. An alternative is to play Byrom on the wing and play another defender in his place. We need to change it up as the present system is well 'carp'.

We should of gone and got Eddie Howe a while back after Mcdermott. I did mention this in one of my posts ages ago. He has done wonders with Bournemouth. Imagine what he could've done with a club the size of Leeds. I know it may not have worked out quite the way it has done with Bournemouth as this is Leeds we are talking about and we don't do things the easy way, but I'm wondering if we missed a trick there.
He was crap at Burnley. Sometimes a manager is a good fit at a club. Bournemouth is his good fit
