bang on. a centre mid that is capable of covering klich and phillips roles. a left back, a goalkeeper to aid Meslier and personally i would try get shot of Costa and bring in a winger to provide cover on both sides.

shouldn't have to break the bank to do it, 40/50 million tops and the squad would be looking solid top half for me minimum with those additions.

40 or 50? I think that's a bit optimistic. De Paul will cost 25 mil alone. I think we need to invest another 100 mil to getthe players of the required quality.

i can't see us having more than around 50 to invest this year after spending 100 last but in an ideal world we have more i agree.

Pretty much the same as every other team does.
Think we had 7 missing from the first team squad but when you go for a small squad that`s what you get on the bench.
Wrt Messlier I can guess what the reaction would have been had Kiko conceded those goals.
He`s young yes and pulls off some good saves but we need a better keeper imo.
LB for sure, midfield and an attacker.
So did you cheer when Bailey or Walker scored a try or played well after they brought shame to the City?

Should have the funds following 9ers investment. DePaul needs to be one major target. Well respected South American football expert last week reckoning it’ll happen

Honestly it’s not worth talking to Marty about Chapylad. Just ignore and we’ll keep things nice and sensible on here.

I would go with the following tonight:
Messlier
Ayling, Struijk, Cooper, Alioski
Dallas
Raphina, Klich/Gelhardt, Hernandez, Harrison
Bamford

Only 6 of the first team squad missing this time.

2-1 Leeds

Don't like Roberts in for alioski but I'll be happy to be proved wrong would like a win tonight but wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw

We weren't at our best, but we deserved something from that game.

Very unlucky tonight should have had a draw

Bamford and Harrison gave their England chances a boost tonight!!!
Roberts not good enough again and likes to showboat too much for me.
Similar to the first game against Wolves we deserved at least a draw.
Saying that Cooper and Costa should have scored and 2-1 Leeds would not have been a surprise.
Still need another 8 points and target achieved this year.
