Good Morning Everyone, Leeds beat a weakened Shamrock Rovers team at the weekend courtesy of a Antonsson double and a Wood penalty. Is it just me, when when I see Wood take a spot kick it does not fulfill me with confidence? Sure, he tucked it away alright, but for me, he's no Lorimer.... Thoughts? After the game, Monk said “It was definitely an improvement on Wednesday. I had a good meeting with the players after Wednesday’s game and there were a lot of things that we needed to work on but I saw a definite improvement today and that’s always good. “Again, there are things that we need to improve on still but that’s quite natural and it was good to end two really good weeks away with two wins. Even though I’m not so focused on the results, wins give confidence to the players and it was important they saw improvement from Wednesday. “There was more team ethic out there than I saw on Wednesday - a little bit more cohesive.” Leeds are very keen on Conor McLaughlin, the defender and Northern Ireland international at Fleetwood. He plays right back!!! Thoughts? Leeds target Anthony Limbombe has walked out at NEC. He has been been ordered to report in by 9am Monday at the latest.
Morning all... We were looking at LBs and Cellino moaned the other day how much some UK players fees were. Now we are looking at a RB when we have Berardi and Coyle, a concern for me is does this spell the end for Taylor and will we see Berardi playing the opposite side? Regarding penalties, I was never confident when Ross stepped up neither, can't remember our last good penalty taker. I'm not happy we have just three more preseason games, I am certain we are going to be under prepared and we haven't faced even a mildly testing opposition. Surely we are 2/3 preseason games away from match fitness not alone then playing as a team best 11, Monk only has three left, in those three players need to get a full 90 under their belts as well as putting into practice what they do on the training ground and he needs to decide on best starting 11
Morning I'm guessing Coyle is gong out on loan. I can't see the point of Berardi going to LB and having one of our best defender on the bench. If I was Celino I would be moaning at the valuation of British players it's stupid money in the British leagues.
Morning ristac, I can remember our loast great penalty taker.... Ian Harte I have a lot more confidence in Monk than any of our other Maagers since Grayson. To me Grayson deserves a bigger opportuniy than Preston. Hope he gets one.
Morning Wolves, If Berardi is good at left back I don't have a problem, but if its just he can 'do a job there' he should stay at rb.
If he comes to us then nobody can ever suggest that Cellino is not dictating transfer targets again.... #groundhogday
Why has Monk told you he doesn't want him or you just talking rubbish ? 2 managers have never wanted the same player before have they ?.
Four head coaches! (read watermelons). Yes or no. You think Cellino has learnt from the previous 20 years of interfering and has stopped?
Afternoon Glory, you and your hashtags... Yes, fair to say Limborne could be Cellino's love child (though they certainly don't look alike)
I have a bad feeling berardi could be on his way. He didn't play in the 2 friendlies did he? Anyone know if he's injured?
Monk says taylor going nowhere, so that'll do for me. yes if we can improve at the back I'm all for it, but we need a centre half and still need someone who can put his foot on the ball in the middle. Howson would be ideal. very upbeat about Roofe, Antonnson and Wood and still expect plenty of goals. The NI right back will be known to Beattie from when he was manager there. 3 more signings coming soon and expect 2 of them this week. Hiya Chipster how you feeling mate? still depressed and sharpies locked away
You are easily pleased! Taylor will run down his contract and be sold in December and the money will disappear. It's not how many signings its the quality.... Having seen how Cellino is stacking the deck I am certain we will finish lower than last season. Monk wont be here by November!!! Bookmark this and tell me when I am wrong!
