    Thinking Bamford for one. he has been subbed last two games and has looked all in; not a criticism of him as he runs himself in to the ground

    Enjoying every minute of being in the Premier. Like Rodrigo and Raph playing from the off and feel that partnership will just get better. Great to see Pablo back he is pure class and great to have on the bench. Poveda getting better and better. Jack Harrison frustrates me with his inconsistency’s but well capable. Don’t see Roberts in this squad, just not quite good enough and he’s had his chances to prove himself. Phillips us Phillips and a future captain I hope. I’m worried by set pieces and being without Koch and Lorente is a bigger worry. Surely we need to try and get a CB in this January?
    Bamfotd is surprisingly ok but I still have doubts he can do it at this level. A real worker but somewhat clumsy, yet baffles opponents with this clumsiness.
    I think we will be safe and be able to push on next season. Hoping we get more investment in and missing the Elland Road atmosphere immensely. Very very happy though. MOT

    Bamford has put away some lovely goals so far this season...and his work rate is top class as usual. But he is going to struggle to win me over totally until his percentage of easy missed chances drops down a bit. All good strikers miss them...but not quite to the extent that he does. He is doing enough to get us over the line in games though. Just need to tighten up at the other end somewhat!

    Forgot the most obvious comment.

    Hard to believe we are a newly promoted team. every one is talking about us in the prem. Certainly not going to win it but we are sure causing some commotion and in a very good way. I'd rather play the way we do and develop for the future than park the bus and hope to stay in the prem.

    I really don't think we'll be in a relegation battle but we'll have some nervy spells.

    It has been good but I still feel totally detached from it seen as nobody can go watch it and it all feels a bit pointless.

    Gets me a bit that too J ... not pointless but I feel for our younger fans who cannot get to see us, next game for example!!
    Everyone though is doing there bit (at LUFC) to make this a experience the best way they can although LEEDS sure can test my faith! All in all I think most of us on here are enjoying the ride so far despite the fan thingy.

    Spare a thought for the little Englanders who said at the start of the season that Rodrigo, Rafa and Koch would be shighte
    I'm guessing (just a wild guess of course) that I'd be included in that group of "Little Englanders"? Strange then, that when you look at those I have "called out" they include the likes of Casilla, and JKA, both of which you were happy to describe as "good bits of business", and yet after they have proved to be the abject failures I (and others) predicted, not a word of recanting do we get from you (although I see you're happy to join in the criticism of both (and others)).

    Thing is, we have both been right and wrong about the clubs "investments", difference between us being I'm prepared to admit it (as I have about Rodrigo for example).

    PS, how you can conclude anything regarding Raphina and Koch is a mystery, given the number of games both have played (and bearing in mind that Koch is now out until Spring 2021 and may not play 1st team football again this season) On that matter I seem to remember that everyone was very pleased that we had recruited Forshaw, and look how well that has turned out for both player and club.

    I suspect that if we were so inclined we could double our money on Koch and Raphina and could sell Rodrigo for a small profit.

    that's doing OK given the prem transfer market. there are some big money flops out there.

    Meslier, Bamford, Phillips and Klich look like brilliant business. Sure hope we have option to buy Harrison.

    the only real question mark (other than kiko) would be Costa. we take a loss on that one.

    Easy mate, most of the names you have there have a few miles under there belt with LUFC. We are still finding our way in this league and imo doing a pretty damn good job so far. Everything is
