I wouldn’t be surprised if they did bring 4-5k. And no, that wouldn’t be positive for the city. I’ve sat in the West Terrace many a time as Leeds fans basically ran into it. Not the most relaxing occurrence.

You can forget the form book at this point. Teams scrapping to stay up are as hard to beat as those at the top at this point. For me, whatever happens from here on in it’s been a superb season. FA cup semi at Wembley - great. But moreover this is the first season on the rung of progress. That’s...

I agree Palmer can be frustrating. His decision making is hit and miss and end product not consistent enough. But O’Hare isn’t light years ahead. If he’s better at all. He’s a very similar sort of player for me in terms of “hit rate”. Both are top level championship.

Palmer is playing ahead of O’Hare because he’s been better the last 10 games or so. Nothing came off for Palmer today. Maybe chance to give O’Hare a game or two. That’s just football. It’s not likely to be some sort of “downed tools, already signed for xyz” conspiracy piece. I’d be surprised if...

Sixes and sevens for me. Thought Eccles was our best player. Probably a game too far for the internationals. Thomas is adding consistency and let’s not forget Van Ewijk is doing a job out of position

One of those days. Preston and Norwich lost. As you were.

Stay calm! Long way to go

Good point. I don’t think you can underestimate Palmers influence in their upturn in fortune. He’s been brilliant since the Sheff Weds incident.

When you look at what we were left with at the end of last season the rebuilding of the defence in its entirety has to be applauded. Kitching for me looks like a steal. He and Thomas could be the next Peake and Kilcline or Babb and Atherton. He’ll be a premier league regular in time - hopefully...

I mean, let’s not get carried away. Simms has started hitting the back of the net - fantastic. But his first touch is still poor. You’re putting him and Wright ahead of, just as a few examples, Dublin and Huckerby, Keane and Rousell.

Exactly. He has a role but it’s just as squad depth.

Looking at L1 it looks like we’ve got another good one in EMC

I’m not trying to defend anything. Those were just the facts at the time.

I’d extend the year. Dasilva was an odd signing - always think it’s weird to sign defenders based on how they attack.

The facts are early season Simms was dreadful and Wright was slightly better. They’re both playing really well now. That doesn’t mean pointing out they were playing poorly early on was wrong.

We haven’t. But you do have to bear in mind that we’re fishing in a different pool. You’ve still got to get it right but when you can pay a few million it does make things easier.

Time to start serious contract talks with Bidwell.

We’re scoring lots of goals. Means always have a chance

Some others to throw in that have been extremely enjoyable. Regis v Spurs on Boxing Day Whoever got the winner in the 5-4 Rumbelows cup win v Forest Mick Quinn v Villa on Boxing Day Boateng v Villa Paul Williams away at Spurs (the great escape) Robbie Keane v spurs Hamer v Luton There are loads...

We exist in a different world than the last few years. A selection of things we now have or do that were pipedreams in the L1 and 2 days - 1) Pay transfer fees 2) Retain good players. 3) Have become the big club in a lot of transfer dealings. 4) Have an expectation of winning. 5) Play really...
