[quote="chapylad":33hpeedm] I would worry that if he gets injured we do not have a back up hence why we should look to bring in someone on loan imo.[/quote:33hpeedm] As long as it’s not Phil Foden. He’s been crap this season

[quote="chapylad" But we always seem to struggle against physical teams. Not sure if anyone heard Merson saying he feels for Leeds as they struggle to break down teams who sit back. I sort of get his point but we keep snagging the points.

some good points. as good as james has been his crossing was abysmal yesterday. we got into some great positions wide but apart from 1 supurb cross each by solomon and james. from which we could have scored twice, we created nothing. a tired display against a big, solid side who housed all the game. should have won, got a point, move on. as I said before sheff utds 1 point in 9 puts our christmas into perspective

Agree with a lot of the above. didn't see the game as was laid up badly but from what i have read and the extended highlights, we were well below par against a team who are a bit of a bogey side for us. I heard an interesting stat about Bamford that he hasn't scored a goal when coming on as a sub for a very long time.. he's very rarely an effective sub. The loss of Bogle and Byram i think probably cost us the win in the end, i suspect we would have defended better when we went 1 up. Strujik defending was poor for the goal also, he should have blocked the shot. Still results went for us and Sheff U have had a horrendous Christmas which is great. Nice 3 point gap now (plus excellent goal diff) will do. Hull on Saturday is an important one. We need to go hell for leather at them then rest everyone for the Cup. Use the Cup to get mins in Bamford and Joseph along with Ramazanni - then play the young lads. Debayo, Crew etc.

Agreed I have thought for a long time that they are practically running Aaronsen into the ground (even if it means burning him out) with the intention of bringing in a 10 in the January window. It will all sort itself out.

Be interesting to see what they do... i really think they should go for the jugular and beef up our attack.. lets make ourselves too good for the rest
