We definitely need our defence back up to strength, 6 goals conceded in the last three games - cannot continue like that if we want to stay fighting at the top of the table. And I agree, we have looked tired and a bit short of ideas for the whole of the last two matches, so one or two quality additions going forward would definitely help us - even if just to freshen things up a bit. And I have to say, I'm starting to think we can't rely on Bamford and/or Brown because I just get the feeling they're never going to be fully fit and firing on all cylinders for us, or at least not until it's all done and dusted one way or another this season.
21 points out of 24 if that is the stat in the next 24 points that will be great you cannot win every game THAT IS A FACT
Just watched the highlights. two goals that should never have happened, we were didn't clear well at all; Norwich and Derby didn't look much better
Errmm, second best defence in league for conceding goals and thats with a makeshift back four for months now, And stale you say, Look at the possession stats ffs we battered them in that respect, Yes we need to kill teams off but 6 wins and 1 loss and the fkin moaning on here is ridiculas, EVERY team we play will have chances because the way we play is risky, and for me long may it continue as i fking love it. We do need a few additions to make our squad better not so much the first 11 when all fit.
imo the first 11 of
GK BPF
DR Ayling
DL Douglas
DC Berardi
DC Jansson
DMC Phillips
MC Forshaw
AMC Klich
RW Alioski
LW Hernandez
ST Roofe
is a bloody good 11 at this level, the bench aint too shabby either
Huffer
Cooper
Dallas
Shackleton
Clarke
Roberts
Bamford
a good mix of youth and experience on that bench, I've discounted our loanees as I'm thinking longish term future here
with the other youth backups who keep coming along and doing really well, I'm happy with the current squad, and I believe we will be promoted this season
Pete do you think any of the seniors weve loaned out could improve the squad under Marcelo? hes done so well with others who we thought were average to crap, theres 6 in total, DeBock Anita OKane Cibicki Sacko and Ekuban
from what i know, i think OKane is out for the season with a broken leg while on loan at luton, obviously wish him a speedy recovery, horrible injury to get. but I think the other 5 are still fit and playing.
heres my thoughts on them, DeBock aint at Douglas level, hes not a bad player, he had 1 or 2 bad games and got destroyed for it, i think theres a decent player there, but not of BDs ability
Anita was never played in his best position, but his best position is DMC, currently held by Kalvin, Anita aint gonna dislodge Phillips from that role at any point in time, spo for me, anita is a no
cibicki, we didnt see a vast amount from him, was signed as a striker but played more on the wing, not a bad crosser of the ball, but again, i just feel hes fairly average, theres no attribute that sticks out as being particularly good, a bit like the others mentioned so far
Sacko, 1 player out of this group who does have a quality of his play, that being electric pace, it was always his end product that let him down though, that killer pass, the accurate cross, the shot on target etc, IF that could be coached on him, then theres a player there, I would not say no to him having 1 last chance in a leeds shirt, if all that can be coached into him, I have a feeling though, and i wont lose sleep over it, that his time, along with all these mentioned, with leeds, is over
Ekuban, hes basically sacko mark 2, and both really good lads too, apparently both were great in the dressing room with the other lads, having a good attitude never goes a miss imo. pace and strength in abundance with Caleb but again, just couldnt find the net enough, and for a striker, if you aint scoring, assisting, or creating space for others coz youre bringing the opposition out of position, its gonna let you down, but hes the other who i think could benefit from Marcelos training, but again, i dont think he will get another chance
those 6 were loaned out because we couldnt sell them and they wouldnt be guarenteed gametime, and with all being over 23, theyd demand gametime
Could sacko and ekuban provide decent backup, or would they just be taking up space
Theres are reasons those 6 were shipped out.
Its Sunday and its Christmas and it would be inappropriate to use the words to describe those reasons.
