Morning all <ok>

Erwin is not the answer if he isnt making an impact at Bury. Plus he looks more of a left winger and we have that spot pretty much covered IMO>

Silvestri is a shadow of what we saw last season and even then he had his moments. We need a safe pair of hands to instil confidence in an already shaky back four.

Morning ristac, Wood is not half as good as I assumed he would be. Not even worth 1m

Totally agree, although at the time we needed a new striker and there wasn't much about, we rightly took the gamble but sadly it hasn't paid off.

Bury fans were far from impressed with Erwin, he isn't going to be the answer, wonder how much better Smith and Sharp would have been right now.

Morning Bucks, shame really. Was expecting great things from Erwin. Just shows how crap the Scottish teams are.
 
Even Erwin seemed to accept he wasn't good enough when he was here, so he's in the rough diamond or not good enough category.

As for Silvestri, well he'd make the Bournemouth team. On form he's a good shot stopper let down by some basic fundamentals, that they're working on but not seemingly improving. Out of form? Well without the fundamentals to fall back on it doesn't look good.

It's a confidence position, where your mistakes gets highlighted like no other. With Turnbull injured we only have kids to turn to, so the fans should get behind him. He did do pretty well for the most part last season.

In fairness I would point out that whilst a dominant keeper helps organise a defence and an indecisive one can unbalance it... The reverse is true. If a keeper has centre halves dropping changers in front of him, it doesn't help his cause.

I dont think he would be dropped either way personally <ok>
 
Rumours on social media about us trying to bring Becchio back. We shouldn't go back and if Becchio was as good as he thinks he is he would still be playing in Argentina but he got binned from a 3rd division side. We need a proper assessment and not by us based upon what we've seen so far. The assessment needs to made by putting players into what they think is their best position and looking at it over a couple of practice games. Be surprised if a few turned out to be good options and a few turned out to be needing shipping out of the club. As for Wood maybe ne needs a partner to play off, maybe Dallas likes to come inside from time to time, maybe Cook prefers bombing forward and maybe the Sylvestri has been asked to do something he isn't comfortable doing and is affecting his confidence or just maybe the squad are shocking
 
Morning Doc <ok>

We wouldnt be able to sign him until January either way I believe?

Evans did have him at Rotherham which adds fuel to the fire, but I believe he was sighted in Leeds due to him visiting friends.

I cant see him coming back, and I wouldnt want him back either. He did a job a the time though <ok>
 
I don't think the Argentinian club binned him. Think he wanted to leave and they agreed to it.

Saying that though I don't think he did much at Rotherham under Evans so can't imagine him going after him.

Shame really cos Becchio was a decent championship striker but ruined it by going to Norwich. Not playing for that amount of time is just gona kill your career.
 
Infact I've decided I want him back. Just for nostalgia and to see him in a leeds shirt again. Not like were going to have much to be happy about this season .

Morning all, just read an article in the YEP by Whelan stating a new keeper should be high on our priority list.

If Wood or Antenucci got injured it wouldn't be a massive problem, take away spot kicks and how many goals between them?

We can easily complain when the keeper makes an error but the easy chances I keep hearing we miss when having a chance to score is surely just as bad.

Wood for me is amongst the worst strikers we have had now, if we hadn't been cursed with Paynter and Morrison he might actually be top of the list. I would prefer Billy Sharp in the team to Wood.

Silvestri has made a few mistakes recently, but he's also saved us. In short, a 2nd GK would be useful. But given our struggle to score goals, new or additional strikers have to be the priority
 
Reserves are playing

Rachubka in 'goalkeeping error' shock.
Bolton Wanderers FC @OfficialBWFC
Goal. Leeds are level. Souleymane Doukara takes advantage of a goalkeeping error to tap home from close-range. (78) [HASHTAG]#LUFC[/HASHTAG] 3-3 [HASHTAG]#BWFC[/HASHTAG]
 
Evening everyone.

Do you see a better goal than this, especially with his wrong peg
