Yeah they save everything. They are great. Clean sheets every game. Jeez.

You'd think our best 11 should include Simms, Wright, Saka, Rudoni and MVE. Simms and Wright remain an enigma. I personally think they both care but just haven't got the fitness or athleticism to do what Robins wants. He takes that as not doing what he asks. Why they can't seem to gain real...

Fundamentally we sold our quality players and have bought in quantity on a hope and prayer. That isn't working out. The likes of MVE and Wright probably want out, those dropped are carrying bitterness. Confidence in the coaching team is no doubt low. Not sure how things radically improve at...

He really has to choose and repeatedly play his best 11. Just use the squad to cover injuries. We aren't good enough to chop and change.

That would cost him a fortune. So he will come to an agreement to move on amicably.

Tbh the way this is likely going to play out is Robins leaving amicably next summer after a very hard year. But Doug has a touch of the psycho so who knows.

Robins messed with the team (again) and formation to defend as much as in this game hoping to scrape a draw. All it's done is to confuse and drain confidence even more. FFS decide what your best 11 is and play them every week until they get an ounce of confidence and the basics back.

Can't see us doing anything going forward with that team. Gonna be a long afternoon defending. Quote me....

That's pretty silly TBF.

Leeds finished 3rd last year and we finished 9th. After a year of 'gelling' and quite a few additions we should have some confidence of competing. I hope we don't go silly defensive.

The fantasy was we buy a shed load of strikers and go and attack every game and crush a good few. Then you wake up and realise it's Cov...

I'd be extremely surprised if Sheaf starts. He'll be a 60 min sub I suspect. Lati will go midfield...

I was thinking Bud Abbott.

So who do we think this Para1140 account is?

If you were Leeds players who would you be a bit worried about in match ups? I suspect it would only be Saka, Wright and maybe Simms. Against our midfield and defence you must really fancy your chances. Probably tells you who we should play.

The Netherlands isn't 'Nordic'. So you've got 1 Dane.

You would think that is Simms. He needs to get in the box far more often

Can't see anything but a hammering here, 3:0. I think Robins will play a very defensive side.

We also seem to have fitness, athleticism issues. Wright and Torp are always knackered after 30 mins. Simms is not athletic enough to hassle defenders. Torp, Eccles, Sheaf, (and EMC) are slow. Saka, Torp, Allen aren't strong enough and get easily knocked off the ball.

What's concerning is we are weak all over the pitch defensively. We have too many central strikers, too few wide players who know how to support full backs, weak and slow central midfielders, full backs who continually give wide players space to cross, central defenders prone to blunders, and...
