Of course!

Any other spares, let me know. Cheers.

Well, we did win. Going to a back five with no obvious out ball was not necessarily what I would've done either but given the problems we've had seeing games out this season it seems extremely churlish to complain about us beating one of the league's better sides 1-0.

Jambo

Potentially silly question - will they be for sale at the ticket office ahead of the game tonight, or just online? I assume I could also buy online and collect at the pickup point tonight?

Jambo

Mount has started 5/6 PL games and 2/2 UCL games this season? Maguire was a key cog in the team that reached the WC semi and Euros final. Anyone thinking he was gonna be dropped - for, who, Ben White? lol - is living in cloud cuckoo land. With so little prep time for the WC it's largely going to be ...

Jambo

I doubt we're going to get 90 minutes out of Tella regularly. Good news is we have a surfeit of players for the wide roles, plus the chance to use up to five subs every game, so if he's gassed/broken at 60-70 mins each week it's really not a big deal.

Jambo

Where are the people wanting Zaroury to start playing Tella? I'd be tempted to start Zaroury on the right, but results with Gudmundsson there have been better than anyone else so it's JBG's shirt for me. Zaroury/Benson both look like impact players who suit coming on against tired defenders. Beyer l...

When you say ‘backed’ I presume you mean ‘made a huge profit on transfer dealings’. I’m not having a go at Pace in any way but let’s get it straight. Garlick used to get slaughtered for spending less than we’d made. I don't think this can be emphasised enough. Yes, making a profit on players this s...

Jambo

Depends on fitness levels but would be tempted to go as close to same again as possible. Presume BPF will come in for Muric, but I'd leave Maatsen on the bench for now. Vitinho has been just as good, if not better, and I don't agree with IM coming straight back in after letting his team-mates down. ...

This thread is even better than the video

I do wonder how we're going to play all these lads, but it's a long season and rotation will be needed I guess. We certainly have strength in depth and this lad will presumably push Barnes down the pecking order, which can only be a good thing.

Jambo

tbf, Brownhill had been an outstanding Championship midfielder before, which is why we bought him. He should be a better player now than then, too, so not really a surprise he looks a standout player at this level.

Jambo

Can't find any £1 tickets getting to football from Leeds, but got tickets to Manchester for Sep 20 for a quid each way. Cheers for flagging.

Jambo

Probably should have thought about that before we signed 81 new players, tbf...!

Jambo

Best player the Championship has ever seen. Probably.

Jambo

Muric 8 - One hairy moment from the cross, otherwise excellent. Loved the support from players and fans he got for the stunning long ball to Tella. Roberts 7 - Sloppy a couple of times but otherwise very solid and linked better in attack than he has in the other home games. THB 7 - Found Afobe a han...

Jambo

I'm enjoying the Championship but it's always going to be more fun dominating games and winning more than losing. I'd expect us to continue building momentum now but the reality is this league is a real slog if you aren't doing well. As for no VAR, I'll be interested to see the reaction if some big ...

Jambo

There are a lot of eggs in the Kompany basket, to be fair. Maybe these Belgian buys will pay off, but if they don't and we want to replace VK at some point, that strategy will rightly be questioned. Not many clubs give their manager so much control over transfers these days, purely because the manag...

Jambo

Wood would score 20+ goals in the Championship easily, but perhaps isn't the greatest fit for our system. I think we want someone super mobile, rapid, who can also link the play. It's a lot to ask, which probably helps explain why we haven't found him yet. That said, if we did have a big striker wit...

Jambo

Assuming Vitinho is playing LB tomorrow - would be weird to try him there in the cup if he isn't - then seems a toss-up between Benson and Churlinov to start wide right. Might as well have a look at Churlinov as Benson hasn't done a lot yet. Rest same as Blackpool, but defend properly please.

Jambo

Lancs chased 370 to win at Blackpool last week so certainly doable, but Jennings out early is a blow.

Jambo

"not a troll at all" - yeah, exactly what a troll would say m8

Jambo

I can't see either Everton or Villa going for him. Forest, maybe, if they have a bad run and pot Cooper.

Jambo

Anyone who thinks Cotterill was an under-rated manager for us should be forced to watch matches from the 19-game run without a win on a loop. Yes, he came in and built a decent squad from nothing, but the football was frequently absolutely awful. It's hilarious that Cotterill is touted as a good Bur...

Jambo

Twine could play the wide right role which has been a problem position for us so far. A few lads have had a go at it without particularly impressing. I was expecting some teething problems and we were probably spoiled by the first half on the opening night. At least Saturday showed we have goals in ...

Jambo

Silly question - have you checked your spam folder? When I've bought online they don't always come through immediately but normally within an hour.

Jambo

Good read - thanks for sharing. Interested to see where he rocks up next as he seems to have done a pretty good job at most of his clubs and perhaps been harshly moved on a couple of times.

Jambo

Quite. Someone on here accused JBG of stealing a wage the other day, which is a remarkable thing to say about anyone, let alone someone who has had the injury issues he's had in the last couple of years. Nothing against Long, done an OK job when needed (no better than that, mind) but never been good...

Jambo

All teams can point to missed chances in games but there's no doubt we should have beaten Hull, and probably Luton too. I don't think a new striker fixes everything but even if Jay takes one of the two other sitters he had on Tuesday I don't think we're questioning the approach quite as much. The on...

Jambo

I'm excited to see fans now embracing xG after rightly laughing at the Brightons of this world for doing the exact same for many years.

Jambo

Probably two changes max for me, I don't agree with dropping Roberts or moving Maatsen. Right wing has been a problem and I'm not sure Bastien is justifying his place, but neither have Benson or Vitinho. Tella probably worth a look from the start and take your pick from Benson/Vitinho wide right. Sc...

Jambo

Bumping this since it seems unlikely the strike will be off. Looks like while some areas will have trains, there is nothing between Leeds-Burnley.

Anyone going that way on Saturday with room in the car?

Jambo

Taylor is shortish for a CB and THB isn't quite as dominant aerially as the defenders we've been used to - Tarks, Mee, Keane, etc etc - so it's certainly something teams will look to exploit, especially when us having so much possession means teams will probably use direct counters against us. I don...

Jambo

Personally I don't think the system has anything to do with conceding a goal from a long ball and a flick on, but people can keep telling themselves whatever they want about the new tactics. We have a soft underbelly.

Jambo

Ah yes, apart from the soft goals we keep conceding despite having 95% possession, our defence looks great! Proper head in the sand stuff.

Jambo

Muric 6 - One dodgy pass, but Taylor put him under pressure a few times and he handled it well. Considering how well he sweeps up I was surprised he stayed at home for the goal, but you expect a player to score if they run through unchallenged one on one Roberts 6 - Slow at times on the ball but mop...

Jambo

Maybe, but Jay is pretty good in the air isn't he? I'd back him to score a few headers if we got decent deliveries into the box. JBG is also a threat with shooting from distance, which nobody in the team bar Maatsen seems to even try.

Jambo

Too early to write him off but bar a couple of good moments against Luton he's looked below par. Could say the same about anyone we've played right wing though really - Costelloe probably got more leeway being so young. Not sure if he's trying too hard but he has got into space well a few times and ...

Jambo

Long is injured (and not very good). What I don't really follow is the calls for a big new defender to come in - presumably to take Taylor's spot - when we spent £2m on McNally, who is 6'3 according to Google. Like, I get some of the lads we signed are with an eye on the future but we're playing a l...

Jambo

I mean, if he is fit then he really ought to be playing given the lack of impact our wide players have made collectively so far. We know JBG has issues getting/staying fit but if - yeah, big if, I know - if he's fit he will be a proper asset for us this season, either wide or in attacking midfield.

Jambo

He is outrageously good on the ball, some of the passes he played were ridiculous. I'd like to see him carry the ball out more, which he is doing more each game, as that will help us get through teams that sit in. He needs to be more dominant defensively but he looks a massive talent. I think he's b...

Jambo

Suspect it is the reliance on Maatsen coupled with our general plan but nobody who has played wide right has done particularly well. We've seen with both Benson and Vitinho now that it is totally different coming into a game as an impact sub to starting and being expected to be a main creator. Vitin...

Jambo

Where would you draw the line at that? There's a train strike on Saturday, should fans who can't get to the game get a free stream too?

Jambo

Hope he can take a corner... without a doubt will add something else to our attack but missing parts of pre-season and now this early injury means he probably won't hit the ground running.

Jambo

Difficult to make out anything on the screens anyway as a) they are not big enough and b) the font choice/colour is extremely hard to read. Honestly the one in the BL corner must be the smallest big screen in football. Seen bigger in folk's front rooms.

Jambo

Worth noting that for all the chat about McNeil's end product, he has a better goals/assists per game ratio in the Premier League than Gordon so far.

I cannot see how Gordon is worth over twice what they paid for McNeil, even if he is younger and quicker.

Jambo

I think Jay will be a big improvement on Barnes but still not really the right profile for how this team wants to attack.

Jambo

Some great takes on this thread. 'if we were in the Premier League' yeah well wake up, we ain't.

I swear some fans just want us to hack aimless balls in the general direction of Barnes all game.

Jambo

Cullen is clearly a classy player but realistically he's had one excellent game on debut and two pretty average ones since. Teams are already working out that if they stick a man on Cullen to cut off the supply line, it stops us building the attacks we want.

Jambo

He's made an impact off the bench playing as a winger very high up the pitch, so people want him to replace Roberts, who is playing as a defensive full-back, often tucking in as a third centre-back? Completely different ask. I'd like to see more of Vitinho and would be tempted to start him but I ass...
