Agreed, we’ve got fringe players in the books who when we let some of them go in the summer, probably won’t be going to a championship team.

No one likes to lose games but it’s been clear since that the season has just taken its toll on the squad. We’ve got players playing who are out of position and not 100% fit. If we had the depth, they wouldn’t be playing. Man U was the last big effort of this season and you can see they are...

Ipswich are 2nd for a reason and whilst they’re a promoted team, they’ve spent a lot of money getting out of L1 and to get out the Championship. When people say players like Palmer, Allen and Kelly are ‘fine’ as backups for where we want to be (promotion) are talking nonsense. The depth of...

We’re just intent on giving away easy goals and 3 points in April. Ready to end the season Saturday now! Let down a good performance and all.

As much as I like an underdog to get promoted, the only reason I’d want to Leeds to stay down is an away at Elland Road. Next season, I’d rather be competing against Ipswich than Leeds. So for that reason I hope we spoil the promotion party!

Agreed on the point about his form dipping and it’s worth considering that he had played a lot of minutes with no rotation so he was probably fatigued as well as rough up. Next season you’d hope that we multiple players to give the oppositions something to think about.

I’ve just added the away one for that year to my collection! I logged onto to eBay before extra time during the semi final and bagged 2 bargains! Picked up a mint condition 2001/02 home shirt for £26!

They’ve ruined striped jerseys with that rubbish rule that the backs need to be plain. Otherwise, that’s a great shout - my favourite retro jersey that I want to collect at some point.

Not necessarily. I rate Sakamoto highly and the sceptic in me sees this historic goal scoring record and his xG for this season and it paints a picture that perhaps he had an excellent run of form. On a more positive note, like Wright, Sakamoto will have a full preseason, be more settled in the...

We probably would’ve said the same thing about Gyokeres 2 years ago yet he’s probably joining an elite team in the summer. You never know how players can take off.

This is surely a joke?! I imagine Wednesday is one of the last clubs he’d sign for after his experiences with them.

The club has believed they had a deal to bring EMC this January with no loan back. This obviously changed at the last minute which shorted our ability to pursue other targets. This is important because we got our main target and whilst we took a short term hit, his form has been strong and...

Without going too into it, at the surface level, Sakamoto should have less goals because he’s scored high difficulty (3.2 xG) chances and the opposite is true of Wright (xG 17.9). It’s an indicator more than anything but to give an idea, Sakamoto has the same xG per game as Kasey Palmer. He’s...

Yes, he offered so much and really was the lynchpin in making 4-2-3-1 work for us. His tricky dribbling and back tracking have been huge. Since his injury, it’s been square legs in round holes. MVE isn’t a winger and Tavares hasn’t been trusted to start much either and I doubt he has the...

Numbers are arbitrary. Looking at the team right now, there’s fatigue all over. Our starting 11 has had to play almost every minute and it’s no surprise they’re spent physically and emotionally. We’d have probably needed 4 loanees in Jan to get us over the line (minimum) and that was never an...

We were always desperate for money, seem to recall he also forced the move too. I could be wrong because it was so long ago.

The grass isn’t always greener as they say. In my view, he’s a player that could’ve been a star for us in L1 and developed into a decent Championship player under the right coaching. The club thought so too as we’d put future sell-on clauses in his deal iirc.

The parsnips are buttered from June onwards 😂

This was my thinking too, if we’d focused on getting a loan rather than EMC, would we have missed out on him altogether? He looks an absolute steal. Something that a lot of people are missing is that on deadline day, we didn’t need to sign a loanee winger because we’d agreed to sign EMC...

From your contacts, we’re also looking extensively at RW, CM and AM, correct? So it’s not immediately obvious where Burroughs fits in as an immediate 2nd choice option. Despite being talented by all accounts. Me neither and to add to your point, Lati has rarely been used as a CB in a 4-2-3-1...
