I was over the moon at the lasogga signing. I was then over the moon (once I’d seen him play) when he left.

Bit harsh

Got to say if we could have found a new Rod Wallace or a new Alan Smith I always thought Lasagna could have been the next Lee Chapman or the next Mark Viduka.

He wasn't going to bust a gut for you in the channels or come short, but in the box he always seemed to find space and he seemed to always hit the target.
Unfortunately at the time he joined us we just didn't have the players to bring the best out of him

However, back to the present day. I am seeing a lot of Michael Bridges in Bamford theses days. I always remember how O'Leary used M. B. as a lone striker in away games at the likes of Russia, in the UEFA Cup. The lad worked his socks off. that's what I am now seeing in P. B. theses days, all be it from a TV screen sized shot of the games. And that selfless pass for Harrison's tap-in shows the progress he has made this season. that's the actions of a striker that knows he has the confidence of his manager. His all round game gets him selected not just a goal tally. Of course he is not going to be dominant in every game he plays this year, some defenders will dominate him, but his intelligence means he has a good chance of working them out for next season and doing even better

Thats my hope anyway.

I will always remember lasogga and Alioski RIP wall apart despite being a man down. That day he was class but think as you say we didn’t have the best team or manager to get most from him

I also agree about Bamford and bridges, I loved bridges as well unlucky with injuries but in his day pure class

I always rated bam bam and think he has done as well this year as any Orem striker all things considered he does miss the odd chance but then so did beckford in leauge one and so does Salah so it happens.

Bermo, on Bamford you have always maintained that he was a good player so I doff my cap to you on that one.

I started by thinking he was a bit lightweight to be a No 9, let alone a lone striker No 9. However, on watching him more and more I can see that he doesn't dominate centre backs with his physicality but they are exhausted by his work rate. Such a slight bloke yet he can run for 90 minutes.
His team mates aren't lumping the ball up to him, rather they are passing in to spaces knowing the lad will chase every pass (a principle that Lasogga never got) . Once Harrison/ Raphina/ Costa/ Poveda get up to speed on this selflessness I can see there being a lot more goals in our attack.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2021 12:08:02
He does work and run his b*****cks off. I know he is a very smart guy off the pitch and that shows on and off the ball. I know he can miss a sitter but I think he is a very good finisher. I think he struggled in champ due to how we play teams often sit back so he had two or three men on him and no space that’s why I made my bet as I thought in prem he’d have more space and get the goals. hoping it continues as I could do with the money from the bet.

What was your bet Bermo? PL top scorer?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2021 18:35:40
He should be leading goal scorer by a country mile his doing well bam bam big MOT for tomorrow boys n girls.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2021 20:57:37
I had a bet with a fellow Leeds fan that Bamford would score more goals this year than last year he offered me 5-1 so it’s worth 250 if I win.

Yet another good win for the U23s this afternoon Leeds 2 Sunderland 0

Leeds U23s top of the league by some distance 10 points or so.

Right back Cody Drameh (who is my big tip to make it sooner or later into the first team / squad ) and Joe Geldhert again impressive.

01 Feb 2021 17:49:01
Baz I believe Huggins is closer.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 18:17:57
Huggins is a talent for sure
Georgie,

just feel that Cody Drameh has even more going for him: very good technically on the ball and also very importantly he has that impressive physique, quick, very strong in the tackle, very good in the air.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 18:43:41
trouble for Cody is ailing is in front of him and also class.

Our very own Classof92? Well done mate didn't even know you were in the reckoning.

Alfie I am first to agree that

Classof92 and Spanish are on a much higher level of knowledge re all things U23.

Strict rotation Alf can only play when Mrs Class allows 👍.

Bamford pass for first goal astonishing skill
Raph for second just amazing.
Klich for 3rd perfection.
Honest.
3 perfect but diff goals.

Aus The Raph assist about as good as an assist you'll see all season. AOTS. Assist of the season.

He hardly touched the ball but the delivery was perfection.

Yes with touches like that you can see why Bielsa thinks he can play the 'Hernandez' role.

We have outrun every opponent we've played this season. Only reason we haven't outrun Southampton is because we haven't played them yet. Quiz. Name the team we outran the most this season. Then name the side whom we outran by the least distance.

01 Feb 2021 13:37:19
I heard that in the Chelski game, Chelski actually outrun Leeds United

As for your quiz
Guesses : Leeds outran West Brom the most
And Leeds outrun Chelski the least or indeed Chelski actually did even outrun Leeds.

01 Feb 2021 15:47:21
Baz From the information I have, the Blades gave us our closest run and it was your favourite Vile whom we outran by almost 9 miles.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 16:03:43
Interesting Georgie ; no surprise about Vile being the laziest 😃😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 22:54:37
Id like to see those stats I’ve tried looking them up on the web but couldn’t find them, 9 miles is a huge distance, the guys commenting on the Chelsea game definitely said they covered more ground than u guys,

01 Feb 2021 23:52:32
So I was right then Wacky Backy about Chelski.

I remember them talking about it during or after the game, wouldn’t put my house on it mind, they all seemed surprised at the time.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Feb 2021 14:15:49
It was on a news story so I think it was accurate. That is we outrank every team so far (and in 100 percent of games)

But good to see us away in white. Was dreading that awful red strip again. I think this may be the first time this season we have played away in white? Anyone know why we don't play away in white when there is no colour clash issues, but use red instead?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Feb 2021 10:26:35
Money money money is the commercial reason for 3rd strips

It's not actually red, is it? It's a maroon colour: I quite like it.


Played in white against Liverpool away I seem to recall.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 11:47:57
I like the maroon strip also. Makes us look a bit like Villa.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 12:44:56
Makes you look like a good team then😂😂 good result yesterday boys, Leicester didn’t have an answer for ye in the second half, nice to play them without vardy I can see them dropping off again this year.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 13:04:50
We used to play in red.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 13:25:52
Maybe when the opposition see us they think its Villa and relax for an easy game? Then we pounce.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Feb 2021 16:32:08
Did we not used to play in blue and yellow like the Rhinos?
