    To say Garry Monk has a lot of work to do is an understatement.

    There are so many area's that need improvement, but where is it most important? (on the pitch)


    Goalkeeper

    Silvestri has done okay, but will BPF still be at the club come August? I note he wanted to wait until things unfolded a little more before putting pen to paper and signing a two year contract?

    Is he strong enough competition for Silvestri?


    Central Defenders

    Shocking. The mistakes they make are cringe worthy. We need a new Captain...


    Wing backs

    Don't have a problem with Berardi or Taylor. Seems Berardi is a little injury prone, but Coyle will be more than adequate.


    Midfield

    We need a defensive midfielder, somebody experienced, and someone vocal who can marshall the defence, and can link the defensive to the midfield and play keep ball. Too many times the midfield do not track back or give support in advanced positions when attacking. Is this down to fitness?

    There is a big hole between midfield and forwards.


    Wingers

    I personally feel that other positions are more important at the moment.


    Forwards

    I'm happy with Wood. He needs another strike partner to play with, preferably someone who can head the ball. Shame we can't recycle Lee Chapman


    Free kick taker / corner taking

    Perhaps when you think about it, this could have been our poorest discipline all season.

    Say we had 5 corner per game, and (including our cup games) we played 50 games last season. That's 250 corners. From memory I think we only scored three times from corners


    Captain

    Competent, experienced, respected, can give guidance and not afraid to let you know what is on his mind. Any idea's

    Is there any reason I should?
    Or is the main problem still involved?

    Nope... Because he will snort a long line over coming weeks and monk will be history.
    You know it, I know it, even Chesh knows it.

    He shouldn't be rambling around over there on his own. It'll end in misery and that lot will eat up our poor Elland, you mark my words

    Not bait, I don't fish but you must be seriously pissed off. Despite your season long predictions of doom and gloom for us and the formality of the wally express thundering back to the championship, it really all went horribly wrong for you didn't it <doh> you're lucky were far too classy a bunch to continue to mention it <laugh>

    It's got a large number of nutters as well as some decent posters. Some of the toma threads ran for 1000's of pages

    Threads that focused on each takeover. Tons of sightings of various Arabs and Russian billionaires around Leeds at takeover times. About 95% gibberish
