From what i've seen of Solomon so far is that he struggles to move the ball quickly too, he tends to slow it down too much. Some of that is just the way he's been coached before and he should get better. BUT, he needs to improve fast otherwise i'd send him back in Jan and get an upgrade in there

I think a lot of that was down to how teams defended against Summerville in particular.
Rutter on the other hand tried to do too much and frequently took the wrong option.
When it worked it looked good but that was rare.
I agree on Solomon who has the ability but doesn`t have the pace.
I would be giving him an ultimatum that he needs to shift up a gear or he goes back to Spurs and as long as we have a better replacement.

I can see Sheff United pulling away from Sunderland with us moving into second after the next 3 games.
Sheffield getting 9 points, Sunderland 3 and us 7.
Sunderland
Millwall (A) - November 23
West Brom (H) - November 26 (8pm)
Sheffield United (A) - November 29 (8:00pm)

Sheffield United
Coventry City (A) - November 23 (12:30pm)
Oxford United (H) - November 26 (7:45pm)
Sunderland (H) - November 29 (8:00pm)

Leeds United
Swansea City (A) - November 24
Luton Town (H) - November 27

Thought i would try the positive vibes to see if it helped
I totally agree we need to get the ball in the box earlier than what we do instead of playing the tippy tappy stuff outside the box.
A fair bit of that is down to our wingers cutting in field and going it alone instead of staying out wide and feeding the centre forward who imo should then be supported in the box by the number 10 or one of our midfielders otherwise the CF is outnumbered by the 2 centre halves.
Interesting to read Orta admit that he didn`t want to pay 12 million for Gyokeres when we had a chance to sign him but instead spent almost 3 times more on Rutter.

It certainly is a journey and if there`s a hard way to do it you can bet that`s the one we will choose.
I`ve had the pleasure of knowing and socialising with some of the Leeds greats in Paul Reaney, Eddie Gray, Bobby Collins, John Charles, Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen and Terry Yorath.
I`ve also seen some right dross including the names you mentioned mate.
I`m hoping we really can kick on up to Christmas bring in a ten or centre forward plus one other and push for promotion.
Knowing us we will end up in the play offs just to stretch the nerves even further.

I'm comfortable where we are. seasons been totally disrupted by too many international breaks, and injuries.
we haven't got going but all being well as players return we'll get stronger and more consistent.

The UEFA Nations League fixtures are an absolute joke and a perfect example of the greed that is killing football for many people. It is also another kick in the teeth for loyal fans that can end up travelling 400-500 miles for a midweek game to accommodate this crap. Drives me mad.

Best choose my words carefully. Sounds like you’re a “senior’” fan Chapy

but did you get a banning order?
