Bit of a disappointment with the performance today but happy we got at least a point. Really tough run of games through December to now and we have done superbly. Hope we get a bit of a rest and some quality additions now.

100%. Very sad.

04 Jan 2026 22:57:17
That's so ****ed
A lad who left his home and family today with a smile on his boat race, and sadly will now never come home

Total devastation to his family
, RIP pal.

{Ed025's Note - yeah its tragic Chris, my heart goes out to his family and friends..

As always, things like this puts everything into perspective. Very sad news. RIP.

Although Piroe only came on for a short period I thought he looked good. Onecreally good attempt, and his ball control was brilliant, like fuzzy felt. I hope we don't sell him and give him a go.

I hope we do sell him as his value would be looking good now. He isn't prem material but he's a cracking champo striker. Sell him, get an upgrade on DCL so we have two corking strikers up front.

04 Jan 2026 16:36:38
Piroe did look sharp although as I said at time, last season he'd have scored that chance for sure. Lack of game time meant he was a bit off unfortunately.

04 Jan 2026 15:18:22
Very happy wiv that peeps, great performance again. When you think since the beginning of December we have played Citeh, Chelsea, Liverpool twice, Man U and been away to Brentford and Sunderland who have top home records and come away with 11 points, it's fantastic.

We ain't challenging for the title or Europe, we are building a foundation and it's coming along nicely. Add to that we were without Rodon, Boges and Amps who are so important, I think all in all we are in a pretty good place UTWDTP.

Couldn't agree more Vid.

And whilst we have been playing against the better teams in the league (and taking points from them) , West Ham are losing to the Wolves! Bodes well for the next few months.

04 Jan 2026 17:13:04
We might not be challenging for Europe, but we are the same points off 6th place, as we are ahead of relegation! 😬😃.

04 Jan 2026 17:40:28
Mathematically correct Brighty, but there are nine teams between us and Chelski in 6th place, but only one between us and Wet Sham in 18th place.

04 Jan 2026 15:10:13
Now that we're in January, the positions I think we need to try and strengthen if we can are Striker, Full/ Wing Back and 10.

But with PSR it would be hard (allegedly) , and I'm in no mood to give footballing authorities the chance to punish leeds for something.

Full/ Wing back - the new formation with five at the back is clearly so effective for us but stretches the defense. Struijk starts most games so if something hits Gabi we're stretched on the left side particularly given Justin is already covering Bogle fairly often. Byram a great servant but I wouldn't trust him to start anything but dead rubbers or cup games against lower oppposition. A left-sided natural full back (not a centre back who can play there) would be real nice.

A 10 seems to be something we wanted for ages Buendia, Buonanotte, Ross Barkley (inj at the moment) . I do want one if nothing else to have more options

A centre forward as a more reliable backup for DCL and Nmecha is a 'nice to have rather than needed'. If we stay up, either a revitalised Gelhardt, the funds from selling him, or a growing Harry Gray will likely feature.

Basically, its a case of we don't need to add unless its right but there are players we could defintely be rid of. We can't seemingly spend heavily this window and tbh we don't seem to need to. The right player or right loan will help but we're not desperate like some clubs and that needs to be the message.

Just want to say how bad are the Refs in the Prem?
Again today I thought he had a stinker, they sure do love the ā€œtop 6 ā€œ don’t they.

Agree5 Disagree0

04 Jan 2026 15:18:14
I've always thought Gillett is one of the worst (didn't think this was his worst game) in the league was only there because he was an Aussie to promote the game or something.

04 Jan 2026 14:31:26
Why does that one feel more like a defeat than a point earned?

Definitely feel that if Ampadu had of played we would have won that 1.
Bornauw looks like he needs a rest! He’s done well but isn’t Rodon.
Justin again done well in the last 2 games but we lose so much down the right without Bogle there.

We lacked a spark today that Ampadu gives us, maybe his leadership as much as anything else.

We definitely need additions this month.
2 loans + 2 signings would be good.
Let’s hope Forest beat Wet Spam mid week.

04 Jan 2026 14:53:36
What about their injured. Our b teams drew. Fair result.

04 Jan 2026 15:20:03
Bornauw looks very good tbh, stamina is likely to be an issue in a guy who's played 10 mins all season before 2 games in under 3 days.

04 Jan 2026 16:24:03
We didn't lose to Man U at ER. That's worth anything else.

It's a bonus that their fans, like the scousers, chelski and palace fans, are absolutely seething.

04 Jan 2026 13:56:05
Can we have mez2 replaced pronto please.

Agree6 Disagree0

04 Jan 2026 14:34:03
Perri has to stay closer to his goal, also feel like if that’s Rodon not Bornauw covering round then it’s Rodon ball all day long, Bornauw has done well last 2 games but he lacks that bit of pace Joe has.

It feels more like 2 points dropped rather than 1 gained today.

04 Jan 2026 14:57:21
Even club legend said. I don’t know what he is doing. As well as other comments including ā€˜ embarrassing’ ā€˜ he has cost Leeds’ ā€˜ why did he come for that? ’ When he is usually too scared to leave his line. Here we go. Strap in. My knew get rid of. going to keep banging this drum chaps.

04 Jan 2026 15:00:44
JJ and Barnowl were knackered and didn't have the pace to get back.
Perri should have stayed on his line to reduce the angle of open net.

50/ 50 decision for Perri to come out and he got it wrong. It happens.

Good point. Take it and let's keep the unbeaten run going.

04 Jan 2026 17:20:39
You don't need to repeat the drum banging tho Aus, as we know that's your stance and are intelligent enough to remember.
There was only one poster sufficiently ignorant not to recognise that, and I don't have you down as that low level!

04 Jan 2026 13:21:24
Haven’t really got going at all yet today.
Also today shows just how vital Ampadu is to the set up, Gruev can’t be in as a replacement for him, too slow both in terms of pace but also moving the ball.
I’d be tempted to bring on Tanaka and Nmecha at HT for Okafor and Gruev.
It’s definitely a game that’s there to be won though.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Jan 2026 13:46:20
Gruev was fantastic vs Liverpool, but he just isn't the same kind of player as Amps. He does tho give a greater physicality and defensive cover than Tanaka. I'd reckon Ao to come on when Man U MF tires, given their own lack of experience on their bench.

04 Jan 2026 14:32:29
I think a draw was a 'fair' result today.

Lads gave everything epitomised by BA's goal. Just sheer pressing, never giving up.

A better forward would have stuck at least one of the chances that Sesko had away.

I was very annoyed that the commentators could only focus on Man U's absences. Bogle, Rodon, and Ampadu huge losses for a newly promoted team, but no its all the hardship faced by Man U. I get they had absences, but apart from the briefest of acknowledgements around Amapadu all they could focus on was them.

Piroe so nearly won it for us, but wouldn't mind if he was moved on for net even. See if Ipswich or Middlesbrough will cough off 10m and +5m if they win promotion.

04 Jan 2026 11:37:30
Anyone have any idea why Bogle’s not working even on the bench?

I might add that the bench line up is exactly why the club must strengthen this month.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jan 2026 11:50:37
And chambers but not gray. Weird. Is Bogle off somewhere?

04 Jan 2026 12:00:12
Aus, it would be madness to sell Bogle now, unless it’s like Ā£30m+. We would need to replace him, still need cover at LWB, CB, ATM and St.
Think Harry G is off out on loan.

We need to off load Harrison and Piroe

Troy Parrott would be an awful signing at the reported £26m.

Surely we can’t be thinking of selling Jayden. Maybe in the summer for PSR but I guess if the price is right but got to be Ā£30+ as I say.

04 Jan 2026 12:07:11
Minor calf injury.

04 Jan 2026 13:19:33
Ok with calf injury cj. Justin having a good game. Bijol and gabby huge. They shading it in my opinion and we got not much other than Willy to have an impact. Anyway. See how we go.

04 Jan 2026 15:00:56
Ausman agree we need to give Gray a go before we lose him to .
