    Good Morning Everyone

    A hattrick from Roofe was enough to keep Leeds in the chasing pack, but it's fair to say when the Hoops gabbed a goal back, Leeds were all over the shop for 5 minutes, and only a fantastic save from Wiedwald kept us ahead.
    For me his save makes amends for his clanger a couple of minutes earlier where the big German misjudged the bounce and the ball ended up in the back of the net.

    Somebody else on here made the point that a month or two ahead Wiedwald would not have saved it.




    What is the top priority in the January transfer window?

    Keeper

    Defender

    Midfielder

    Forward




    If you could pick three players to replace from the current team, who would they be?




    If Lasogga were to be released back to his parent club in January, who would support this?

    I have a poll that is underway on twitter asking if Lasogga should get back into the starting line up after his injury.

    Currently only 11% think that Lasogga should go straight back into the starting XI when fit.

    A massive 43% say no, as he is too immobile.

    Thoughts?




    Did Cibicki show his worth on Saturday?

    Did he look like a pariah cast away to the wilderness?

    Shouldn't TC be giving some of the fringe players an opportunity?

    Morning all, for me Felix is better than Loners he has far superior distribution, long throw out more accurate kicks.

    I’d be happy for Lasogga to return as long as we get a replacement, I’d even prefer Antonsson back over him.

    Priorities in January for me are a top keeper who distributes the ball like Felix but has better saving skills and a Striker. Then it would be a defender we certainly don’t need any more midfielders

    Morning all I have seen Shilton, Clements, Martin, De Gea, all get done by a freak bounce, so its no biggy for me. Guess there are many fans that now have a preconception about Felix, but for me he played well if you forget the freak. If we get the chance to bring in a better keeper then I would do it but I suspect we will be lucky to find one in our price range.

    said all Im going to say on Lassoga and suspect he'll be available for the next game.

    If we can get a very good striker in January we should do it, we should also bring in a top midfielder and defender.

    Morning all. I think Wiedwalds mistake is being unfairly critisised. It was a very difficult ball to deal with and would have been a problem for any goalkeeper. If Lassoga had played instead of Roofe I doubt he would have got three goals from the same chances.

    Priority signings,

    Take charge midfielder, we definitely need a better midfielder.

    Cibicki played a good game, should play behind Alioski as I think Pablo will be back. TC should buckle and give Klitch a chance in the run up to Xmas.

    Keeper, seen some slight improvements in Weidwald, but not enough, two worst nightmares for a keeper, ball through legs, and ball bouncing over the head.
    Hopefully he doesn't let it get to him and he gets on with job against Norwich, another howler and we're stuffed for keepers.

    Striker, we need a good 20 goal a season striker, because we have other goal scorers in Alioski, Saiz, Pablo chips in, even the defense chip in occasionally, and Vieira in midfield can chip in from time to time.

    If we want promotion, we have to seriously think about what we need to achieve it.....:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I have said for weeks noiw we need a GK LB AND A STRIKER
    I WOULD buy Alex Macarthy Joe Bryan and Lee Gregory or Olly Watkins

    We should buy anybody that would improve the 1st team squad that is available and we can afford.
    To fund this we should sell Felix, Beradi, Hernandes, Aliosi, Cibiki, Klitch, Lasogga and Dallas.

    We urgently require a keeper, a left back, a couple of forwards one a striker one a number 10 and a winger that can hit a cross.
    Sadly all we will get is more of the same and I cant be arsed trawling through wiki for foreigners neither of us have ever heard of.

    I got bored last night when I couldn’t sleep and was watching MOTD in the early hours.

    Do t usually bother. It really hit me how much better the Prem is, teams like Leicester and Burnley never mind the usual top 6

    I’m not sure we’ve got anyone good enough. Vieira potentially? Not sure if Sais would be though he’s a class act in this league. Jannsen not really. No one else worth even considering imho

    I saw a winger infact 2 send in some great crosses one was Alioski who improves every game and Cibriki Dallas will come in useful over the season and Beradi gives 110% so really I don't think you have a clue
