Wing backs are notoriously difficult to recruit. There's not really many about, especially at this level. 200+ Championship apps, Wales international, fairly decent age. There's some plus points which would attract clubs. We'd probably struggle to get a fee, but a club could take over his...

Yeah agreed. I did find an article saying he was back in training around Christmas time though.

Wilson has been injured for the majority of the season though. I'm sure he only came back in the New Year. It's possibly a case that's he's just not match sharp enough to warrant a spot on the bench rather than FL definitively preferring Collins.

Wilson's contract will probably be extended. He's a good presence to have around the squad plus he won't be on massive wages I wouldn't have thought. More expensive to bring another replacement in and it's not a priority.

In an ideal world. Probably won't happen: Incoming x2 RB (MVE replacement) + a loan. Possible one that can play RCB if needed. X2 CB (Replacement for Binks and Lati) LB (to compete with Bidwell) CDM (Sheaf replacement) CM (Eccles replacement) ST (We need better than Simms / BTA) RW (Someone to...

Not really other than if you honestly believe Sheaf if a 5th choice CM then you're a bigger imbecile than I originally thought.

You do have to wonder whether last season was a bit of an anomaly. It would've helped that we were much much more clinical in front of goal being able to put games to bed, plus having Sheaf on form. I'm sure you go to games and must see the players struggle with the basics and individually are...

I really don't think it's coaching that's the issue. The defence quite clearly isn't good enough.

They are cottoning onto it... Go back and watch the highlights of the past 4/5 games. The big chances we concede are on the whole fairly similar. Attacker makes a run in behind either on either flank or through the middle and is easily able to get a chance / cross away. I've been banging on...

Hopefully we won't have to wait on players moving for funds to be readily available. It's entirely possible that many of these transfers might not materialise in the final weeks in the season. Grimes coming in this window suggests hopefully not but there's a fairly sizeable rebuild in the...

Another late night drinking on your own?

He was on the table next to me with his entire family (all box holders were moved upstairs due to the hotel taking precedent). Suspect there will be an announcement next week.

It's hardly silly. Anyone with half a brain can see it was a ridiculous move hurtling in like that to attempt at blocking a player who didn't need blocking. It clearly threw Dovin off so Lati is equally as culpable.

It looks as if Dovin thinks Lati was going to clear it. Fundamentally someone needs to call for it. Lati running in like that was honestly mindless though. Bogle wasn't even going to get to the ball.

Yet not surprising. The defence has improved since FL has come in but there are still obvious frailties which need addressing in the summer. Even over the last 4/5 games I don't think our backline has performed that great and has conceded chances which a better side 100% would've penalised us...

Thomas has the reaction speed of a sloth there. Don't even get me started on Lati. Not sure why our defensive line has adopted an L shape.

He didn't really. A couple of times he held the ball up as any striker of his build probably should. The rest of the time the ball bounced off him like it was made of rubber and he was scrambling to not lose it. Which either led to him losing it, making a pointless pass, or in the case of the...

I think they're working on an offside trap but none of the backline particularly have the footballing IQ or ability to pull it off. Several times in the second half we played them onside from long balls when we categorically didn't need to.

He's an appalling footballer to be honest. Last night he looked totally out of his depth.

Exactly. Leeds having the quality they have doesn't excuse poor performances and our failure to execute the basics. They were good, but certainly in the first half we made them look considerably better than they were.
