23 and under players.

Finally how many times do I need to say it but I have never said we will get relegated to the contrary I keep stating we will stay.
I do worry about our form especially after the friendlies which weren't addressed and the form has carried through. Also said if we get injuries to our best players we are stuffed and what do we know Bamf Kotch Raph missed games Phillips missed games.
I do have faith in staying up as too many teams around us are worse than us but I do not have faith In MB methods or selection and I do not have faith in the people in charge of our recruitment.
I have faith the lads that got us there and will come good and save us this time.

This is from the current list leaving out injured form so on. This would also look like a decent team going forward.
I struggled in the mid department and if Foreshaw hadn't come back I would have really struggled lol
MB team of fisfits
Melsier Lucky Kiko did what he did otherwise he would still be the first choice.
Ayling Laurente Cooper Firpo
Phillips Foreshaw Dallas
Raph James Harrison

At season 2021/22 start - was your preferred starting 11 the one with kids in ?

I bet neither of your stated 'starting elevens' would have been the first choice of MB.
He works with what the club can get & never moans.

Just have to live with PL schedules & Internationals disrupting our mojo form wise.

For me one reason we're been lacking recently is the lack of real leaders on the pitch.
Raph has it & so does Adam Forshaw but in a less visual but tidy way.
You can't do it all yourself particularly when your out there on the pitch so you need to develop a small leadership-team amongst a squad. When times are tough like now those types are missed on the front lines - literally dragging the team to victory.

For me, we've been missing that crucial element of what natural leaders within the team can bring.

I remember league 1 well. Some of the teams we played had football stadiums worse than the local throw ball HIgh Schools teams play in.

Bad mojo feel to this season. Not sure relegation is off the table. The January transfer window could be a nightmare and MB might flame out before season over .

I had us picked top 6

You asked me who would I play now did you say best off? I picked what is the now as I stated. I picked on the future as well as the now. But deep down I know Mr MB lineup is even if he had a full squad expect to see the likes of Roberts.
Perhaps he really thinks his god and told the club he doesn't want any players who know.
Better get something out of our next 2 games otherwise I might get on the relegation bandwagon.

No you were not - quite a few of us expressed concerns about the lack of (depth in) midfield and no more experienced back up for Bamford but seemed more hopeful it wouldn’t come to pass.

Oz - I'm not a moron. XD
I've always consistently stated how good our 23,s are & how they've been developed correctly in all aspects required to be a successful professional footballer.

I've also consistently used clear tactical examples of how Bielsa sets teams up & his use of 3 at the back & why.

I've also criticised players technically & explained exactly why & always only after I've watched them play several times being sat in the various stadia atmospheres watching them.

Regarding Mum posting ?
Not easy for her to post her views as her professional roles can create 'conflict of interest' that may have an effect on personal or financial interests in the outcome of her football casework.
So to stop any considered real risk of an actual or perceived 'conflict of interests' arising [which would undermine impartiality] she's happy for me to voice my opinion. O:)
Like everyone, she as I are happy to see the Rev well again & contributing.

Great to see that you & me can still post despite our differing ongoing health issues, mate.
Good days & bad days just like Leeds Utd.

Think the "Moron" comment was reffering to things said to him following his previous negative views pre-season..
Our Ausie friend sometimes writes in a way that is quite difficult to follow IMO

Made me laugh anyway

Aye, hoz sometimes speaks upside down………hey! wait a minute :)
