    So I saw a comment in a British national newspaper that Leeds United had a "strong squad"

    IMO, whilst the 1st XI is strong the squad is not strong.

    Additions?

    OK, well there's the seemingly imminent prospect of the 3rd choice goalkeeper coming in...and that's great.


    But we need more


    We need some more firepower ...an attacking midfielder.


    A 4-1-4-1 is great for possession...but unless we get an early goal (Derby) then we struggle (Hull)


    Bielsa doesn't seem to want to go to a 4-4-2, so we need more goals from the midfield.


    Guys this isn't rocket science...winning with a goal or two in injury time is a bad sign.


    We need to convert possession into goal, especially in the first half.


    We were underestimated in August and September....e have to work harder now.

    Poly if you have 10 players missing against Derby and steam roller them I like to think we have a half decent squad.

    If we get Brown and Bamford back and fully fir you get goals up front and midfield.

    We have Phillips back in 2 games around the same time we get Berardi back and Douglas.

    We have some kids like Shackelton and Clarke, Pearce and Davies who can all do the biz.

    I will also admit to wanting another couple of offensive players, lets just see what happens as we know Bielsa wants another couple too

    Doc there are more subtle ways of making a point, once, possibly even twice, is usually enough but five times!! now that's just not cool

    Spot on Chesh,

    Plus Phillips has only one more match before he's back as Doc forgot the FA Cup tie against QPR.

    I'm not sure we need anyone,were doing great.
    The team has had injuries,we got over that.
    Anyone that comes in must be pure class and totaly match fit.
    January is not a good time to buy.
    A back up keeper would be good,and if pablo got injured we would be a bit hampered.
    Let the bucket man decide,he's done OK so far.
