Watched Luton vs Burnley highlights and have to say Burnley looked very impressive. They can easily walk this division like they did the last time. We really need defensive reinforcements pronto if we have any playoff aspirations.

Burnley at least showed a way to negate Lutons press,; albeit they had some decent players to pull it off.

It's almost like people forget that early season often yields extremely strange results that don't reflect the season overall. Let's see what everyone is looking like after 10 games or so.

Norwich lost their first game at home to Colchester 7-1 and walked the league that year. It’s just started. Luton may well walk the league, Burnley looked very good as did Wednesday and United.

The last time I thought we'd do well in this league was the first season after relegation. We beat Stockport 2-0 and thought it would be easy. It wasn't then and it means little now. I genuinely believed we would get off to a good start this time, but let's not panic just yet.

I'm impressed that some people can tell all this after 90 minutes.
Is anyone predicting Luton and Norwich will be in relegation trouble?
And what about Leeds, conceded 3 goals and couldn't beat a promoted team at home.

I thought by some of the reactions on here that we were already eleventy billion points adrift after all the other 23 teams won at the weekend

I was taken back by how poor we looked , not so much how good other teams looked .
It was a worrying performance imo but too soon to dismiss our chances .
We must improve and fast

I will start to be a bit concerned if we don't beat Oxford but you can guarantee the first and last games of the season throw up some strange performances and results.

Leeds set to sell Georginio Rutter to Brighton - Big loss for them
Even more baffling is they signed him for £36m and slapped a £40m release clause into his deal

£36m included addons so they probably haven't got near that.

Average in the Championship but is worth £40m to a Premier League team.
I think Brighton have dropped a bollock.

Crazy that Doug had to fight to sell Vik for £20m but clubs like Leeds continuously sell average players for ridiculous sums of money like that.

Hardly average
He got 7 goals and 16 assists in his last 47 championship games , that's pretty good for a 22 year old
compared to other forwards

It's fine if they're going to play him as a no.10, but Leeds brought him as a striker and he doesn’t score goals.
Evo1883
Well-Known Member
He played more as a second striker I believe , basically a 10 , could have played some as striker

Wasn't the right fit for us but was good for Blackburn

Gray and Summerville were far from average to be fair
Summerville comfortably the best player in the division last season imo

Sammie Szmodics: Ipswich agree fee for Blackburn striker before Premier League return
Blackburn accept an offer from Ipswich for forward Sammie Szmodics that could rise to about £11m.
Simms top scorer here we go!

Probably a request from his agent, seeing Leeds as a stepping stone. Wouldn’t be surprised if the clause requirement was due to the team not getting promoted back at first time of asking as well.

Read from a Leeds fan that Victor Orta (old DoF) was that confident of retaining Prem status that in the summer of 2022 all new signings had a clause inserted into their deals which enabled them to leave on loan with no wage contribution from their new clubs should they be relegated
