Lathe Lath would be a good acquisition. Can`t we pension Bamford off as he`s not fulfilling his contract?

Taking my son's their first Leeds game on Saturday and driving over. When I go to ER, I'm usually on the bus so wondering where's a good place to park coming from Methley direction. Any recommendations?

[quote="leedsbarmyarmy":k51lgyu5]Stourton park and ride if youre happy to get the bus from there[/quote:k51lgyu5] Do they have buses going to Elland Rd and back on matchday from there ? If so that's handy to know

It’s a nice bit of exercise going back up as well !

[quote="chapylad":191ddrap]That`s the striker that`s scored 1 goal in 16 games I think! Hoffenheim want rid.[/quote:191ddrap] I can’t believe there’s any truth in that rumour at all. I’d rather get on the phone to Mick Jones and ask him if he can give us half a season.

sadly micks knackered nowadays

[quote="tad rhino":1wyhnfgz]sadly micks knackered nowadays[/quote:1wyhnfgz] Yeah real shame. He was knackered when he was playing unfortunately, he had early onset arthritis but they kept pumping his knee full of cortisone injections. The medical people didn’t have the info therefore the knowledge back in his day. Proper centre forward, good in the air, great striker of the ball, worked his socks off and a great team player.

the ultimate team player

not much to report apart from it was bloody freezing. guilivogi was a disaster at CH. schmitt did ok joseph isn't the answer. yet anyway. firpo looked ready. darlow starts Sunday. we missed aaranson at ten.

What a horrible game. How we struggled so much against a team battling to stay in the football league was a little unsettling. Some of the so called better players were really poor at times. Ampadu gave the ball away and lost possession in dangerous areas far too much, Ramazani, despite his goal, performed badly and his execution of shots and passes was terrible. Gnonto showed why he isn’t in the starting line up and Rothwell lacked creative spark and a killer pass. Joseph was unlucky when he hit the post but generally flattered to deceive again. All in all a really tepid display.

He's better in midfiled though imo. Schmidt looked like he could be decent given more game time, Darlow was good, produced a great save and collected the ball well - he was tested quite a bit with crosses and long throws, so was a nice work out for him. He's been playing really well for Wales apparently. Joseph, just looks rusty and shot of confidence.. and he's not developed that killer instinct in and around the box. I think we need a striker in Jan. If Piroe gets injured we could be in bother.

Yes I agree with what you guys have said and personally didn`t think Guilivogi was a disaster especially playing out of position. Having said that we were playing a team almost Non league. Reading some of the posts on other social media sites it`s interesting how Ampadu isn`t getting slated as I thought he was really poor. And Gnonto again doesn`t appear to be the answer up front or as the 10 despite what Farke is saying.

I thought guilivogi was bloody awful at CH. should have given a penalty away and looked uncomfortable all the way through. I'd hate to see him there in the championship

You might be right Tad and I might have been over generous considering who we were playing. I`m hoping Farke has the balls and gives Darlow the starting jersey on Sunday. Although I`m not convinced he`s the long term answer. We`ve now distanced ourselves from signing the Hoffenheim striker. Buendia and McAtee my preferred choice for 10 or an out and out 9.

they would be magnificent signings but I can't, sadly, see either coming. I hope darlow starts, better still a new keeper. but I think meslier starts. one big error next Sunday and he's done though. finished

Our squad isn`t that big so a couple of signings needed. Again I know we only played Harrogate but the defenders looked more comfortable with Darlow behind them then they do with Meslier.

[quote="chapylad":2ckssgxe] And Gnonto again doesn`t appear to be the answer up front or as the 10 despite what Farke is saying.[/quote:2ckssgxe] I think the realisation may even be hitting home to Willy that rather than being the Premier League quality player he thought he was at the start of the 23/24:season he is in fact just a back up player to a decent Championship team. His lack of aerial presence and pace mean he falls well short as our starting striker and his lack of awareness and poor decision making rule him out as a number 10. He’s a decent sub or stand in when we have injuries within our current squad.

Agree about Ampadu, he’s very rusty still, his distribution was poor. Thought he dropped deep far to often also.. he was almost a centre back at times Gnonto isn’t very good at 10, he’s not got the vision. I think we’d be very very foolish not to bring in a forward this month. We’ve clearly got the money.. let’s get some insurance and make ourselves too good for the rest

Just because he isnt in form doesnt mean he isnt good enough. Hes never been a striker tho.

[quote="leedsbarmyarmy":2ebong2i]Gnonto showed last year he has the quality, he was unplayable at times. Just because he isnt in form doesnt mean he isnt good enough. Hes never been a striker tho.[/quote:2ebong2i] Hmm, not a striker. What do you think he is ? He’s certainly not a winger, and if as most people agree he’s not a “number 10”, then what exactly is his position ? James and Solomon are a cut above him as wingers, Aaronson is undeniably Farke’s starting number 10, so that leaves centre forward as his best chance of starting regularly. Piroe and Joseph, in that order, are seemingly juggled by Farke at number 9, so I stand by what I said in that he’s not good enough to start in our strongest eleven never mind dreaming about playing for a Premier League team. What I do like about Gnonto is that he gives 100% whenever he plays and he seems a real team player. A world of difference to the disrespectful player that lacked any commitment to the club at the start of last season.
