This team will not finish in the top 2 unless significant signings are made.

What else can be said that hasnt already?

Squad is paper thin.
Players way off it - Not good enough.

Bamford & Piroe looked terrible last night, last night should be the trigger to move Bamford on and Piroe simply disappeared.
Wober & Aaronssen - were Wober & Aaronssen - way off the pace, not good enough for Leeds.

Brings x5 players on while keeper is down on the deck and bleeding - that couldve been fun.
Completely overrun in midfield and the same horrid defensifive lapses and zero pace at the back yet again cost us dearly.
Never a dull moment as a Leeds fan.

To be fair to Bamford he has been out for months. Aronson was ok imo. You can’t play Piroe at 10 and Rothwell in midfield.. they will get out run. Where’s the Ampadu from last season also? Same for Rodon.

Regarding the transfer business, they’re now on the back foot and other clubs will know we have loads of money.. so we are no longer in control.. Summerville replacement should have been in by now. I just don’t get the strategy. Why isn’t Kamara replacement sorted yet… crazy..

Bamford is nearly 31, with a horrendous injury record. He has a young family and is on 35k a week. There's no way he leaves, he wouldn't get a better deal anywhere else

I wonder if last night's team selection was a nod to the hierarchy regarding incomings

We only have 16/17 outfield players. No nod should be needed

16/17 outfield players and 4 or 5 of them are nowhere near good enough and a couple more are still very young to play 20+ games a season yet which says it all about how the board have handled this.
And how Kinnear keeps his place on the Board as I`m pretty certain he would have been involved in the contract negotiations that took place whilst Orta was there.
Seems Brighton were aware that they had until Wednesday to activate the clause in Rutters contract.
Does that mean his agent has been touting his services?
Makes the sale of Archie Gray even more bizarre imo.

and activated it at 11.59 pm.....

I agree no nod SHOULD be needed but it obviously has to

It says on Leeds Live that Rutter knew of the offer before he took the field last night but asked to be played.

That's what agents do.

I'm really down and frustrated by this sale, in particular, and all the optimism I had has all but gone. But I'm not as angry about the release clauses as most. They're a normal and very common part of football, and I doubt any player would agree to sign a contract with a team in a relegation battle, or a team outside the PL without one.

I just wish they'd get a move on and sign some players.

I'm with you. it's not the goings it's the lack of incomings, let alone quality ones

Same here mate. Im feeling very deflated about it all. I was looking forward to this season and looking forward to the games and now it’s gone. Good grief the board have some serious work to do now to bring back the feel good factor. A lot of the fan base are now utterly bemused.

The whole squad knew of the transfer apparently. I wonder if that was a factor you know. It will have damaged confidence and spirit

rutter had some magic moments but was also a liability at times. imo if, and it's a big if, the right player is signed then he is replaceable

Szmodics off to Ipswich by looks of it. Sky reporting they’re trying to finalise a deal

Not easy to do in 2 weeks. They can’t even replace Summerville in good time
