    Harrison had zero assists last year I think. Rama has the x factor when chasing games, Harrison just seems solid and dependable. Too hot and cold for me, I know who I would rather chuck on when trailing in a game.

    That being said, this is the prem and a massive step up

    Id be happy with Rama going out on loan for some game time but wouldnt be too quick in selling him just yet <ok>

    If we can get our money back then sell Ramazani.

    I dont know why so many of the fan base think he is the second coming. He has his moments, I'll give him that and he is entertaining to watch. I just think we've reached a level which is too much for him.

    Brentford win but we’re terrible and played off the park 70%/30% and 16 shots V 5. Brentford are going down. Wolves are going down too. Burnley beating Sunderland only highlights how poor Sunderland are even with all their new fire power. Hardly any shots from both teams is relegation form. Loving this as I know I’m right and will WHU sack Potter soon, hope not because they are also favs for the drop, so a big win for Leeds tonight puts us top of the league :emoticon-0115-inlov

    Sunderland fans will be crashing back down to earth after that one. Wolves two defeats, it’s going to be a slog for a few teams

    Southampton and Ipswich both lost today, they’re a long way off the pace at the moment.

    Don’t think it really applies to keepers… maybe a bit with respect to pressure when playing out from the back… it’s more between the ears. A shot is a shot, a cross is a cross.

    … scores a few goals in a game that’s already won and everyone loves him.

    he definitely has something, so I do get it and I like the idea of impact sub when chasing the game… but he never had the legs for more than a half when he started and got blasted more than once by the manager for being unprofessional.

    I’m supporting the guy who deals with him every day in training over the fan majority on this one.

    Harrison unspectacular but solid experienced pro

    As I said in the OP we are a million miles away in quality levels to most teams in the premier league and then Arsenal go and spend almost another £200m on new players to move them even further away.

    However we ended up playing against their U21s with Lewis-Skelley, Dowman and Nwaneri and even these made us look crap. My worry now is that if Bakwa, Demirovic or anyone else was on the verge of coming they get cold feet and don’t want a relegation fight. DOWN TO EARTH BIG BUMP

    Oh and it’s alright thinking we need more forward players but Piroe never touched the ball, James was pants, Bogle swamped and slow to get rid, Gnonto absent, passing in the middle went sideways and backwards, couldn’t play out from the back so even if we had Messi he wouldnt see the ball. Huge rethink, regroup, bollockingtons for most

    Dortmund need to pay Toulouse £18m for Charlie Cresswell which gives Leeds another £2.7m as their 15% sell on. However if this clause is based upon clear profit only it will be £2.1m to Leeds

    Feels crap this morning when reality smacks you in the face in regards to gulf in class.

    I hoped we’d be harder to beat than that 2 games played -4 goal difference already

    Look at that -4 and relish it <whistle>. It's going to be considerably wider if that performance is repeated in the coming weeks <ok>....I fervently hope that our new shot stopper hasn't been blown out of proportion with the fee paid because after yesterday's display he's a kiko/mes hybrid <yikes>

    Haven't watched the highlights. Might do that much later after a drink today.

    I hear you and it was chastening… but it was arsenal away… and for how bad we were in possession we weren’t getting cut to ribbons when they had the ball… it was mainly set pieces we struggled with… against set piece specialists - still disappointing considering we bought big lumps to help strengthen this

    It will be repeated by city Chelsea Liverpool spurs and twice. But we might get lucky and get to repeat it next season

    Yesterday saw that we had no control in the middle and Farke didn’t help matter by saying that he thought Gruev was very good. Obviously not watching the same game Dan? We now need to get that missing piece in the middle, someone who can control a game, put his foot on the ball and actually create something. Dilane Bakwa or Christansus Uche are both prominent subjects of stories concerning Leeds. This is the final week and something needs to happen.

    Why wasn’t Stach used as the DM yesterday and Longstaffe selected for his experience? Okafor will start the next game and we may even see Aaronson alongside him as happened when they played for Saltzburg. Aaronson looked pretty good again yesterday

    Striker situation still sees us favs to sign Emerdin Dimerovic who was on the bench yesterday and came on in the 70th for Stuttgart when the game was already lost. He’s fuming. Also Dovbyk not wanted and came off the bench even later
