    No doubt recruitment would have been slightly different with a different manager.

    But yes we would be mid table if we had a better manager/coach...whether that be Dysche or someone else who knows what he's doing.

    All irrelevant now and as we're all in with Jesse we may as well all get fully behind him <ok>

    That’s some statement, considering how Donald ducked we were last February.

    Interesting the wording says “Option” to buy, apparently that was the hold up, we wanted option Juve wanted commitment

    Great news. Be interesting to see what conditions are attached to the option. Presumably we’ve learnt our lesson after jka.

    So McKennie loan this season, we sign him hopefully ready for next season due to FFP so we’re either going to have a huge chunk of the summer transfer pot spent or we’re going to have to recoup some money

    We we’re definitely poor before the WC break too, in my opinion performances have only just recently started to improve

    Don't think it would have been that difficult for a different coach to have us 6 points better off and sitting comfortably in 12th.

    The fact is Jesse would have achieved that himself if he didn't gift our opposition goals with his U9's tactics.

    I agree we’ve played well enough to be midtable. But for every goal we’ve gifted with tactics we’ve gifted 2 with individual incompetence. Usually from the same players who helped put us in a relegation battle last year… where they conceded even more goals under super coach.

    The u9 tactics is playing midtable football, u9 defenders is creating relegation form.

    For all I’m excited that we’ve got rutter - and fingers crossed mckennie - I think not sorting out the defence is a mistake (marsch’s biggest mistake) and will continue to cost us.

    You think so? I thought we were very good at Liverpool, average v Bournemouth and very good at spurs in our 3 PL games before the break. Patchy before that but still some good performances

    Wober? Hes been great so far, and probably the most important signing this window no matter who we get across the line

    A proper Centre Half who can also play out and pick a pass. Just shows, it doesn’t necessarily have to be one or the other.

    He’s helped fella. Didn’t think he was as good today, but hope he makes the difference. Still desperate for a left back in my view but happy for firpo today.

    Leeds Live has Wober as a 9 and man of the match. Never got to watch today as family shyt to attend, so reading match reports apparently Greenwood was pants marked as 5

    He's a big help

    Couple more deffensive additions slowly blended in January if we stay up and we are flying

    And if we ain't the marsch needs to get the **** out <ok>

    I thought our centre halves got man handled a bit today, led to a few scrambles in the box. Wober had a couple of cooper moments but got away with them. His passing was good. I like him but think he may get found out for pace which be less of an issue if the rest of them had some.

    In general I thought we were pretty poor defensively today… and gave up too many opportunities to a pretty functional league 1 attack.

    Re scores… I saw meslier given an 8… which surprised me… thought he was poor today as well. Dropped a couple of crosses, which could have cost us… and should have dealt better with the initial shot for the goal.
