We didn't replace him though, that's the problem. He was the leader and literally led the press and helped to get us on the front foot.

We did, just not an exact replica.

Who does Brownhill replace out of Ugochukwu, Cullen and Florentino?

ollieclarets8

Possibly/probably- who knows but in that case if you are not going to use him then why include him in the 25 when others could have? It just feels like it’s unnecessary drama.We all want the best for him and for him to be a massive success for us, but if he is not fit or unwell or whatever then jus...

He's basically the polar opposite of Brownhill. Great on the ball but ambles round the pitch and doesn't make any of the off the ball runs Brownhill made to get into scoring positions It's not about whether he's the same type of player, it's whether he can replace him, which I agree I think he can....

Our best wide player (God knows who that might be).

Well I certainly wouldn't be dropping our leading goalscorer.

If the figures are to be believed, Rooney is trousering £800k from the BBC. When you consider its taxpayers money, makes you wonder if it’s decent value. Would a company like Sky be paying it, or would they have given him a probation period to hope he grows into his role. It just highlights my poin...

It’s obvious we need that midfield 3 and I was surprised Parker didn’t opt for it today. Leeds will look to dominate the ball though so it’ll be a game of counter attacking for us I feel, so Foster should start. Hopefully Ekdal is okay as I’d start him. Leeds can look all they want. I'm expecting u...

we will miss him massively next season if we drop

It depends who we keep. If the 3 of of Les, Cullen and Florentino were to stay, we'd boss the Championship.

Humphrey’s or Worral need to be next to Steve

100% not Worrall.

ollieclarets8

If Brownhill is the answer, I'm not sure what the question is.

ollieclarets8

Pretty much the same thoughts.

Has to be the game when Edwards makes an appearance.

Let's look on the bright side. Oh hang on...

100 points next season?

ollieclarets8

It gets to a point where we need to screw the 5 at the back.

If you have 2 defensive midfielders infront of a back 4, that really should be enough and it means we have the obvious 3 in central midfield.

We will draw 1-1 or 0-0 against Leeds and it’ll be considered a “good result”.

I think that's a game we need to win.

Awful game. Roll on next year’s championship season

Get another goal. That would be my instructions.

Game over.

ollieclarets8

What we are seeing is exactly what Fulham and Bournemouth fans warned us of. Good Championship manager, devoid of attacking solutions in the Premier ultimately leading to relegation. It should come as no surprise.... I very much doubt anybody on here will be surprised. It's likely we go down, but w...

Not much to lose by bringing Broja on. I'd also bring Big Les on.

0.81 xG for Villa. Haha.

They'd also do well to score 4 goals with only 2 chances on target.

Quite a funny read and on the link posted on there.

"Airport guy confirmed"
"Joe Worrall 15 pointer incoming"

No matter how shite Burnley get, I'll be grateful I'm not an Arsenal fan. They must have the highest prick ratio of any club in the country.

Not a chance they topple Leeds for that accolade.

Telling that Worrall still doesn’t get in. Not that I want to denigrate him or anything, but he seems low down the pecking order.

A Championship defender imo and at best, someone to bring on when defending a lead/point in the last few minutes.

Swap Laurent for Les in the midfield with a back 4 and that's close to our best side I'd say.

I was thinking the same thing.

Rooney probably won't have had much formal media training to date, I imagine, and Neville definitely started from a stronger position. But (whilst I'm not currently a fan) I'd like to see if he improves. Surely if that's the case, you slowly bring him in. You don't create The Wayne Rooney Show with...

ollieclarets8

I'm not sure why they got him on, but also created a programme 'The Wayne Rooney Show'

They would have done better getting Coleen Rooney to do the same thing.

You can only wonder at the comment at the bottom of that post.

Yep. I mean, we all have them. All clubs have them. But Leeds most definitely have a higher % than other clubs. Their fans overall are terrible.

I have some good friends who are Leeds fans, and to be honest even they turn into right spankers at the football.

Same, one of my best pals is a Leeds fan and I think the best Leeds fans acknowledge how bad the rest (99.99%) of them are. They have to be the worst fans in the country.

They really are v poor. A point at home, and losing away means they’re bottom 3 probably.

Look at their upcoming fixtures which I've posted somewhere.

They are either playing 6 pointers or against the best sides in the division.

Certainly some games to watch on TV over winter.
