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.

Definitely. can't believe they have managed to nab 4 points off us with two outrageous deflections. hey ho, it happened, we move on. Southampton on tuesday and a chance to bounce back quickly. its hard to get too pumped really for the games right now as we aint getting europe and we aint going down so its no more than seeing where we finish around the middle. i want to see how we look and compete with Koch, Llorente, Phillips and Rodrigo all back and in the same team as we haven't had that all season, then we will truly know where we are at.

thought Struijk played excellent again at centre back and is going to take some keeping out of the team, looks nailed on to take over from Cooper.

Said it all along about Sruijk even though some people were questioning his inclusion.
Might have saved us a few quid on Llorente had we stuck with him.
Next season i would look to move on Alioski, Roberts, Kiko, Hernandez although I would put him in the team now, Costa and for me Harrison which won`t go down well with some.
Llorente hopefully will come good but this might be another costly mistake like Costa was.
I would also take 20 million for Bamford which might be too bold a move I know so would probably keep him and try out some of the U23`s once relegation is off the cards.
