The Power of Positive Thinking has already been written Aus. ?.

Funny ?.

So we now know the squad until at least January barring a few free agents coming on board. Comparing it with last year's squad it is undoubtedly a major improvement all over the pitch from GK to FB to CB to midfield to strikers and on the wings. So credit where credit is due the squad has been dramatically improved and some who needed to move on have moved on. However we're in a much tougher league now and we lack depth up front and midfield creativity. Our first choice 11 look like a decent team who have enough to survive and we have some depth at FB, CB and midfield but any injuries up front and we're in big trouble. We have a reasonable run of 6 games to end Oct and if we could get 9 or 10 points from those I'd start to believe we can survive. Does a creative midfielder emerge from our well stocked squad of midfielders in that run? It's going to be a long tough season but we have a chance.

Improvement on the wings? Not too sure about that.

Fair point Corkey after losing Ramazani and Solomon.

Would agree with a lot of that OAS, the defence and midfield look solid and we have a bit of depth and they will improve the more they play. It's the glaring elephant in the room I am afraid. Nmecha Looks a Workhorse, DCL could be useful and Piroe, well can be very ineffective at times. If we get any injuries on that front it's going to have to be Harry getting a baptism of fire. Who knows, this situation could pull the lads even tighter together and they may thrive under a seige mentality. If anyone can do it DF is the guy and I do believe we will be ok, but it's going to be a tough ask.

Just back from Emirates. That was tough to watch. We did ok for first 30 mins and then collapsed. Very hard to judge players in a game when you've been completely outclassed. Only 3 new players in our starting 11 so it's the top Championship team against the 2nd EPL team and that showed.
The positives are that Gudmundsson is a good lb, Bogle did OK at rb, Rodin can hack it at this level and Okafor made it onto the pitch and has real pace. Longstaff was an upgrade both in performance and leadership. The negatives are obvious. Our keeper and defence couldn't figure out how to distribute the ball so we went long ball often to Gnonto who was swallowed. Our keeper didn't look like an upgrade on Meslier, Struick got skinned, Tanaka was bullied, Piroe can't hold the ball up and James was less effective than Gnonto. We need to get all of our new players on the pitch pdq and we need more incoming. Unless we can retain the ball our defence will be overrun. As I said at the start I don't want to slam anybody on just one performance against one of the best teams but we need to learn from today's drubbing and adjust accordingly.

Agree with that
Worried bout Perri but as you say top of championship against a 2 premier league team for 2 years huuuuuge gap.

2.) 23 Aug 2025 23:16:22
How many of our new players are good enough? That’s the big problem/ question?
There’s been zero promoted teams in recent memory that has only THREE new starters going in to a new EPL season.
Any who actually believes this has been an excellent or even good transfer window needs to think again.
Look at our bench tonight. Darlow Byram Harrison Nmecha Aaronson Longstaff Bornauw. All at best squad players. And is the first eleven much better than last season?
Apart from Stach we really haven’t improved the first eleven by much imo.

3.) 24 Aug 2025 06:01:24
Agree all above. And that’s the thing. All these so called class players on a shoestring. Are they prem quality. It pains me to say but not sure. Think manager needs shifting for cluelessly picking same team. What an idiot. Goalie looks useless. So much wrong with this. So much to fix.
Mum dad round for dinner later. Dad a gunner. Always going to be a defeat but thanks to farkehead it was a hammering. Not going to enjoy 3 hrs with my smirking dad. Thanks to brain dead Farke. Annoyed by the way.

{Ed025's Note - i would never have guessed Aus.. :)

Nor have Sunderland or Burnley, it’s always down to what a newly promoted Championship side can attract and pay for.
We were completely outclassed by Arsenal but the question that remains, can we play better than what we did and my answer is, we most definitely can.

That will be the driving force to make sure that we will survive this season. Forget any dreams that we will finish in the top half, this will be a scrap till the last game to survive in the Premiership.
Fortunately for us I believe there are at least three teams that will suffer more than us.

5.) 24 Aug 2025 07:28:10
Optimistic and pure conjecture opti. No way of knowing that. We 100% need to sack that moron to stand any chance of surviving. We need someone less stubborn and more smart.
Or.
Maybe owners need to say. Pick your battles.
Not fing rocket science.

6.) 24 Aug 2025 09:06:42
Thing is about your good self is Aus is that your emotions spill out on a moment and it’s usually a Farke out moment.
No Leeds fan was to lose mate least of all to have our noses rubbed in it, you are definitely not taking anything into context. This was only the second game of the season, you can not define our season after two games.
Thats just being reasonable.

Wow! I'm amazed at the lack of enthusiasm on the site. I also just fail to understand negativity towards players who make the right decisions for their careers and families. If they're good players I want them playing for Leeds. We're fortunate to finally have the owners, coaching team and players who can build us back towards former glories. I've been a fan for over 60 years and have lived all the highs and lows. I think we're in as good a position as we've been for decades. Please let's enjoy it and trust our club. Not blindly but positively. I'm at Emirates on Sat with my Arsenal supporting bro and hope to get a point but after tonight I can be a bit more relaxed.

Indeed 6d…Baz came onto the live chat just before half time and his first utterance was “…. with this squad, this team will finish 19th…”

He might have said more afterwards, but I left the chat, because I can’t deal with pessimism after a half of football in the first game of the season.

We know it’s going to be hard, we’ll lose more than we win. We’ll probably have huge disappointments so we have to embrace where we are and enjoy it…. we wanted to get the EPL so badly.

2.) 19 Aug 2025 07:51:41
Ditto. Went to the live chat, saw Baz was somehow there and left.

3.) 19 Aug 2025 07:53:30
My question is, how did he get on live chat!?
I can only speak for myself, but I don't want that level of negativity back on here!

4.) 19 Aug 2025 09:29:30
Think ed said previously they can’t edit live chat. I’m a technical nit wit so not sure.

{Ed007's Note - I'll keep an eye on it in future and kick out any undesirables.}

5.) 19 Aug 2025 09:54:11
How the hell did he get on the live chat Ani? You did right leaving it as he’s all you need to listen to as we start our journey in The Premier. Why he’s like that god only knows ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️.

{Ed033's Note - Baz was allready on the allowed list from before, i forgot to remove Baz from live chat when Baz was banned from posting. Baz now remooved from Live chat list.

What a great season for our team. Everyone deserves credit. Yes, risks were taken but they worked out and it's a risk business. As we approach next season we obviously need to invest in squad improvement. The word "spine", has been used by others on this site and I think it's appropriate in both senses. I'd add power, pace and height to that and a set piece expert.

So that would lead to a new GK ( at least one) , new CB ( tall and fast) , new LB who can defend as well as attack, new 10 and a proven EPL striker. We could do worse than look at Leicester players in some of these positions, Hermanson is a decent GK, Luke Thomas a good LB.

Mavididi might be a good wing option if we don't retain our current 4 wingers. Ditto Ricardo as RB. Separately, on set pieces is Ward- Prowse worth a look? We won't be able to afford top talent but survival and mid table comfort in the EPL, which has to be our realistic ambition in our first season back, doesn't need top talent.

My other hope is that this banter site has a better season. Despite the best efforts of the Eds and many posters it's been a dreadful site this season. It's would be great if we could all reduce the repetitive, intolerant, ego-driven posts ( and responses to same) that have dominated the site recently. Sadly it's cost us some really top posters. ALAW.

Yes Six, a bit of bargain basement buying and, without losing our style, mid table, no worry finish must be the first goal.

2.) 23 Apr 2025 21:43:40
Six, i have said the same, going to possibly pick up some from relagated clubs and i think Mavididi, we sell gnoto, tomas decent LB, vestergaurd CB. Then ramsdale or palmer for Gk, dibbling from saints decent. Still think sammy smodicks good but had injury and delap but he’ll go to a top 6 club
What happened to Dill and his fantastic summary of potential players?

3.) 24 Apr 2025 09:14:36
Great post sixpence. I actually agree with your views on the club and on the site!
