Leeds United - v - Sheffield Wednesday ***Matchday Thread***

[spaldy]

I've defended Bamford...

However, the big slow lumbering oaf that SW has came on with 15 minutes to go and assists a goal and scores another. Probably ran less than a hundred yards the whole game and shreds us.

we should be able to find someone to do the same thing. we have plenty of speed and skill to get someone like that the ball.

eddie was just too small and easy to push off the ball to win the ball in championship.

Even when we play bad we can't grind out a draw They had two shots on target all game - the first in the 87th minute and then 94th minute = two goals FFS!

Bamford has the ball put onto a plate six yards out five minutes into the second half and puts it into row fecking Z

Have to say he just isn't good enough - and Costa.....Since throwing the points away against Cardiff apart from the Brum game we have scored 3 goals in 6 games.... plain as the nose on Rev's face whats needed...but are the money men actually listening?

That "Big slow lumbering Oaf" makes a habit of "Shredding" us unfortunately, and its a fact that Monk has the sign on us, Ah well, just need to do something we haven't done all season - next week - win in London!

Christ on a bike, Wednesday are an ale house team. Just kick and rush and hope forr the best - and they've done you on your own patch. The Kosovar lamp post even scored.

With Brentford and Fulham breathing down your necks you girls should be worried, you girls are worried. just 6 points now.

Isn't that the problem though? We had similar issues last season, and the comments here and elsewhere from fans were much the same, and "the money men" did what? Not much is the answer.

We got Casilla, who is simply incapable of dealing with pressure. His good saves are usually in circumstances where he has had little to do. Today he was flapping from start to finish and completely failed when Wendies attempted shots on goal,simply not good enough. And what else? Ben White, who is probably the best loanee we have ever had, but isnt likely to be scoring goals any time soon, Costa, who flatters to deceive, and Nketiah, who many (including me) thought would be able to use blistering pace to compensate for being relatively lightweight, and we all know how that turned out. Investment? I think not.

If we can see it, the "money men" surely must, and yet they kept their hands firmly stuck in what look like empty pockets.

Said in an earlier post, what we saw today MUST convince them they need to invest, or we are destined for a melt-down that will make the end of 2019 season look like a cake-walk

lol well thanks for that. You obviously don't realise that being worried is a perpetual part of being a Leeds fan, so your little taunts are a bit lost on all of us. I can confirm for you though, we are worried.

I guess the one difference for the 'money men' this year is that we're supposed to have a lot of investment lined up for if we get promoted, which would mean a massive pay-day for them. So on the level of speculating to accumulate, today and the last few weeks must surely have an effect on what they decide to do in the transfer window - even if only to see their nest-egg grow.

Would someone mind briefly explaining the FFP issue please? To what extent do the rules restrict buying a striker or taking one on loan with a view to buying?

We are choosing the FFS route instead of the FFP route.
