    You better tell that to all those here that keep saying the only decent team in this league is Wolves then?
    We have lost how many, yet still sit sixth? Most years we would be tenth or lower having lost so many and you know it.

    We sit 6th because we've won 13 games and not drawn many,our points tally is probably about average for 6th place at this time of the season.last season was well above average points,shows how strong the league is this year.

    All irrelevant because if we keep buying kids and don't invest in the here and now we wont be 6th for very long.
    I expect to be collecting my winning come May.

    Disagree again. This lad coming has nothing to do with the current first team, he’s part of a project to build our team for the future. Relating the two things is inappropriate.

    As I’ve just been looking at old films of the 64-65 season, it occurs to me you’d have been saying when Eddie Gray was signed that year, aged 16, what a disgrace it was we were not strengthening the first team and no wonder we havnt won the first division with such a lack of ambition.

    Morning all to lighten the tone could I say that my three Elland Road favourites for 2017 were Emmas knockers and Sam Saize

    Huge difference now is that players get poached by riches. In the old days of no money loyalty was given.
    If any of the kids are decent we won’t see it.

    Don't forget we have a god who we are holding back for the run in.<whistle>

    That's a load of bollix & you know it. Loyalty may well have been given, but only if it suited the clubs. Right up until the Bosman ruling.

    So it’s not a load of bollix then. Bosman does exist.

    One club men were common now they hardly exist.
    As a second tier club we won’t ever get time to nurture kids to their maximum potential if they are premiership qua;it’s.

    Hold on matey! Think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm only a God of love. I'll take care of the WaGs to save the players legs, but if you think I'm going to play, think again. Haven't played for about eight thousand years, give or take a century or two. :D

    Phew! Only running I do these days is after a dodgy curry. Just realised I broke a confidence. Wasn't supposed to mention I had to take care of the WaGs. Oops! FFS, don't tell the players! The things a God will do for his club, eh? :D

    Being that the term GOD came from some Poles that I know due to having Polish relatives. I would imagine they know more about what football fans think back home than you do mate. Your problem is you know fook all about Klich except what you read on wiki.

    Afternoon all and good to see you boys playing nicely.

    So looking at our fixtures it seems we have a very light January ahead with only 3 League fixture scheduled. One if which (Hull) will be rearranged should we progress to Round 4 of the FA Cup.

    In theory then it's the perfect time for any new signings to be able to integrate into the squad before the crucial months of Feb/March/April are upon us.

    More important is not to repeat the mistakes of last season. Namely signing 2 players on loan in January who disrupted the team and crashing out of the FA Cup to Non-League opposition which did nothing for our confidence and ultimately proved to be the start of a quite dreadful second half of the season.

    Someone needs to get a hold of TC and explain how it's imperative we now start to get some momentum and the FA Cup presents the ideal opportunity for morale boosting wins and is a happy distraction for the players from the pressures of the League. That's why given it will have been 6 days since our last match and that we then have games scheduled every 7 days for the rest of the month that the strongest side possible is selected against Newport.

    I think we all know that is unlikely to happen and if so it's a disgrace and we as fans should do something about it. Radz, Victor and TC should be bombarded with tweets etc stating how it is totally unacceptable to treat the FA Cup as a reserve team game for squad players. I'll just about accept it for the League Cup as it's played immediately after pre season and players are still getting up to full speed but not now as we approach the business end of the season.

    I'm just off to open a twitter account to get the ball rolling.

    So why is this player coming back? maybe because he only played twice as he was never there. He was constantly doing a runner and couldnt be found. Is he good enough for our squad or will he be with the kids? Another DM or CB, Dutch
