Good Morning Everyone,

Chris Wood is back in training, and has been since Tuesday, but after three weeks on the sidelines, will he be match fit to play 90 mins?

Would you start with him, or bring him on for the last half hour.



Is it time to blood Coyle in?

Should he be starting games?

Knowing that Byram was leaving, should he have been playing more before Christmas?



Now that Wood is back in training, are Doukara's days numbered?

What about Antenucci? The Duke is further up the pecking order than he is!



Our midfield lacks bite!

Agree?

Who now thinks that it would have been an idea to sign Barton at the beginning of the season?



Should Leeds be spending the kind of money that the Wendies are?

Apart from Rotherham and Bradford, Leeds are not competing on an even keel, compared to their neighbours.

​

 

Rotherham re signed Bechio, I wouldn't want him back but he is better than anything we have.....
They are showing more ambition than us.

saturday is a mustn't lose, if we do we are back in relegation trouble and Evans may well be gone IMO.
Considering that Charlton are already gone and Boltons cash crisis is going to see them go down with a points deduction it's a disgrace that we could even be contemplating relegation ....

Hope they closed and bolted the door as soon as he got through it!
Bye.

 

Morning

 

Morning troops. No issue with Byram. He's approaching his best years. So he has to think of himself & his family. It's going to be a bit of a push to see us in the PL next season, & if I were him, I wouldn't wait to see if we got to the PL at the end of the 16/17 season. So good luck to him I say.

 

Morning all.. I lost interest a few weeks ago, it was brought back to life with a mini purple patch but 3 points from a possible 15 since Christmas or no league wins in 5 has killed it off again.

Looking forward, we can't go into next season relying on the strikers we have, we need someone in the middle who can score more goals too.

All we ever seem to be doing is "believing" top six is possible because it is mathematically but in reality not a hope and "believing" with a couple of new signings things will be better next season.

We better get used to it because nothing is changing anytime soon.

 

Moving on, so who plays Saturday? I'd start Wood and Doukara with Antenucci on the bench to come on after an hour of Wood. Bridcutt is a good investment. So I'd play him and Cook. No more departures please, other than Sloth who clearly won't make it

 

Morning Ristac. Agree that top priority in the main transfer window is a striker. But will be interesting to see if we can bring anyone in during the current TW. Apparently, we have two offers in place. So who knows where we will be by this time next week

 

Investment needed before any chance of going forward, and all we've done is paddle to keep ourselves mid to lower table. Wendies showed intent with their front 2 who are a country mile ahead of anything we have. Glad Byram did the tweet but we lose every prospect and it will always be the case when theres no money expect Cook to go next.

We are all frustrated as hell but the damage was done by Bates who lost a whole generation of future fans and these kids dont want to know us because they want scum shirts, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arse shirts and watch them on Sky. We closed our academy to talent and made it a day thing with no schlarships and lost all our academy coaches to big prem clubs. Yes we have PH back now but when the club charge parents we get the 2nd string talent whilst the good prospects head into Lancashire.

So we should avoid promotion again and will finish mid table again, and will fall even further behind small village teams like Stoke, Hull etc because of new Sky money and parachute payments for failure. Every season its gets harder and next season will be the hardest, so unless we get major investment we may struggle to stay in this league next term

 

Morning all. Approaching the end of about our twentieth useless transfer window. See the West Ham manager said Byram would be unlikely to get much game time with them this season, hes one for the future. Just shows how much we over rate our young players. Consequently Im not bothered who we buy or sell. Theyre all varying levels of mediocre and few if any would cut it in the PL and wont ever have to worry about it anyway. Still no signs of the Arabs on the white horses I presume?

 

Morning Glory, you think Becchio is better than Wood or Antenucci?

 

Morning Kissa

 

Morning Boggers, with teams around us throwing money around like confetti, its going to be a while pal

 

Morning ristac, I reckon if we had a good centre back and a good striker, we'd be play off material at the least.

 

Possibly right. Approximate cost 12 to15m. Whats chances of that happening Matt?

 

Morning Doc, but if it doesn't work out for the Wendies, they'll be in the mire, surely?

 

I'd say 4/1

 

Morning Eire, I'd still say that Cellino is the best Chairman we have had in the past 10 years. It doesn't say much, but surely thats a fact.

 

I agree and possibly if wed got him ten years sooner, he may have worked out. Theres so much money needed now for a shot at promotion and he just doesnt seem to have whats required
