Excellent players "on paper". Too bad the game isn't being played on paper.
As for Heckingbottom, well, what do you think, is he better?
I posted this in another thread, but I think going forward we're not far off. If we can keep Saiz and Hernandez, Roberts turns out to be decent, Ekuban and Alioski keep improving (as I think they might), and Dallas is used in a more attacking role, then I think we've already got a competitive Championship attack. But behind that I'd say we need a lot of investment. Forshaw is obviously a decent midfielder, (defensively but also going forward), and Vieira could be given some decent coaching, (ditto, possibly, for Phillips, but there's a lot of work to do there), and behind them we've got Jansson and Ayling (although Ayling has his 'moments'). BPF obviously has potential but it would be a mistake to rely on him as our 1st choice keeper. Other than that I wouldn't class a single one of our current midfielders, defenders and GKs as good enough. So that's a GK, at least two CBs, at least two FBs and two DM/CMs if we are going to be a really strong competitive squad in the Championship next season. Quite a shopping list.

we have the bare bones of a squad , if it was a human being it would be laid on a mortuary slab .
relying on radrizaani and orta to give it the kiss of life , would be like trying to get a bacon sandwich at a jewish barmitzvah .
We are in March now and he still isn't getting a game, it is not like he has been given 2 months off to rest, he has still been sat on their bench and training. There is a world cup coming up and if he had anything about him he'd be playing week in week out to get in top shape for Japans world cup journey. If he was going to not play he may as well have come to us and got used to his team mates/played with the u21s and a few bench appearances in our squad as his work permit was approved they just decided to send him to CL anyway.
Think people on here need to take stock and just look back to pre-season, Yes we made a good start but me personally it was more by luck, This bunch of players have done really well, Why?, Because just look how many changes were made from at the start of the season, Up**** cant say exactly how many but we virtually changed the whole team people are not giving the team time, We are Leeds and want a quick fix, Aint gona happen, Look back on this season and see how many changes have been made to the team each game to try get the right if you like formula, I for one with a few additions are already looking forward to next season with most of this squad staying together.Noone is more frustrated than me trust me but look at the bigger picture, Wolves have played the same starting 11 in most of their games but also have quality off the bench . Keep the faith instead of slagging off, I think Hecky IS the man to take us forward.
