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.

You said Dovin had already claimed the ball which was wrong. At the point he was about to claim the ball Lati ran in front of him. If you think otherwise I'd recommend glasses.

No it wasn't. Watch the highlights back. Literally at the moment Dovin was about to collect the ball Lati rushed in front of him. It was completely bizarre.

It was as much as Lati's blunder as Dovin. With respect that's clear to anyone with a brain. There was no need to block Bogle, he wasn't getting to the ball on the trajectory it was moving at. The lack of communication between the backline is something I've been repeatedly banging the drum on...

That was hardly out of good will. We were paying £1m per year and they were desperate for income.

Utter rubbish. Stats-wise he's been pretty much one of the best in his position in this league over the past couple of years.

Not sure it's as binary as this with Sheaf. I think there's multiple factors which have affected his performances this season. He's still an incredible talent at this level and I'd be keen to retain him but I doubt he'll be here beyond this summer.

The fact the bloke behind JH has been going for over 12 years is frankly impressive at this point.

I've just looked back at his comments and I wouldn't go as far to say he was 'very negative'. However, interestingly and as I suspected, Brighton clearly gave the club a bollocking over how it handled Ayari during his time here. I suspect for this reason there is certainly an element of...

The issue with loans is that clubs are entrusting you with their young talent to develop and play games so there's a relatively high level of expectation there. The club bringing Ayari in and then not playing him would've almost certainly annoyed Brighton given how highly they rate him. They...
