I think there’s a few players of ours in this category to be honest, especially Haji, MVE, Simms and Rudoni too if he carries on playing like tonight.
None of them would look out of place playing for Prem teams regularly.
a win by any means necessary was the most important thing tonight, defense does look shaky at times and both goals we conceded were awful, basically gifting goals away, but I’m gonna put that down to early season jitters.
If Sheaf is still here at the end of the window, he’ll bring a much...
Probably a request from his agent, seeing Leeds as a stepping stone. Wouldn’t be surprised if the clause requirement was due to the team not getting promoted back at first time of asking as well.
Simms’ goal was exactly what you want from a potential 25+ goal a season striker.
Perfect set up, great off the ball movement to peel away from the marker, and a calm collected finish. Keep supplying him with those chances and he’ll score an absolute tonne this season.
Hopefully Burnley are due a few of these players moving on in the window, very strong side with more first team arrivals than departures from their prem side
I’m not reading anything in to opening day results. I remember the season Norwich lost 7-1 to Colchester on opening day and ended up pissing league one that season.
Rooney will be the first (and most predictable) sacking of the championship season though.
