The u23 are playing against the best academies in England now so it was always going to be a big step up and with a lot of them having to make up the first team squad due to injuries we have played a lot of younger players - Cresswell and Joffy haven’t had as much game time as last year for example.

If one in three/four of Orta’s signings are good then that is probably in line with a lot of other clubs - are problem was we came from such a shocking place that we needed all of them to be good.

WTF just seems to dig out Orta anyone with a different view to his own regardless of the facts. Hence the errant Bamford dig.

If peeps don’t like Orta fine but that doesn’t mean others have to step in line, that’s all.
That's good Hope and like you me and anyone else I'm sure everyone else has Leeds at heart and people like WTF may be hard to read f me I don't know how anyone can read me but we all mean well.
I fear though the tide is turning and now with the big-name injuries people are going to start voicing their opinions all over and the Orta situation on the weekend is just the start. I fear for the club I really do.
