    We're already stretching a tight skin over the corners Breezy and now Bartleys down its even tighter. Don't see Clucas in the back 4 at all, DM his deepest position imo. Will be very happy if we sign Arias

    That's a very poor midfield/attacking line up. Christ we need some quality asap.

    Clem is talking out of his arse if he thinks we will be alright at the back.....He will be sacked within the first quarter i can see it coming, Every punter you listen to in the media think we are in big trouble because we keep selling our best players and recruiting players not good enough....The funniest comment i heard about Clucus was that his best time was when he was forced to work for Debenhams <laugh>.....A bit harsh i know... 1-0 home win..

    People can yammer on about VDH all they want it will mean some where between little and nothing to Clement . His statement of not worrying about Bartley being out for a lengthy time is a clear indicator at his confidence in , rusty and hardly used VDH ... his time will come .

    Scored a goal against MAN U and was MOTM against Watford last season when he finally got a chance to play 3 games in a row ...like I say , his chance will come .

    I know I'm completely out of synch on this but I see Mawson as out weak link in our CB options.

    His recklessness is my biggest worry , both him and Bartley . But I do recognize that I might be a bit harsh on Bartley , thousands of Leeds fans can't be wrong about what they seen last season . It's just that I can't get past how horrible he was for Monk's last 3 games in charge when Monk was ordered to make changes . He was horrific .

    TBF he'd only played 91 minutes of league football in 18 months. Injury and Monk kept him out.

    I must have missed it but who told Monk he had to pick Bartly?

    Just a gut feeling bob , but if you look at who Monk played the last 3 games he was in charge , compared to " Ground Hog Day " 11 he kept playing game after game without success , something had to have been said to him

    Clement said Clucas and Naughton can both cover left back.
    We know Naughton can't
    Hull fans say Clucas can't

    Maybe one of the youngsters?
    Aaron Lewis has, apparently, been playing well and if Ben could do it maybe this lad can do the same.

    Daft decision to be left with just one left back.

    Theres your answer to your first statement, seems Clement doesn't share your concerns about Mawson, picked every week. I wonder why VDH hasn't even been making the squad, if Mason is such an issue. Strange that isnt it. you say how bad Bartley was who had less game time that season than VDH did last season, yet bartley is rash and bad and VDH is rusty. you cant have it both ways.

    Exactly! Naughton is poor at RB but all I'm reading is that Naughton can cover LB.

    Where's Taylor when you need him <laugh>
