You're making sweeping assumptions on those players we've lost and those players we bought in. If we spent £6m bringing in Watkins, Maupay and Benrahma, think what their replacements bought for £15m could be like. We constantly look to upgrade, and just because we've lost goals it doesn't mean...

He's ok - sometimes looks decent, other times you can forget he's playing. Weirdly he's good at things you wouldn't expect, like scoring a few vitals headers for us last season, but he's lost all his pace since his injuries. Good technique, with a solid range of passing and a good shot, but...

Nice - where is this mentioned?

Where did you find the "rising to £18m" bit from? Can't seem to find that anywhere, but great news if that's the case :brill:

You're right. We're wildly uninteresting... no one takes any notice of what we do.

That's not what I'm saying in slightest, I struggle to understand how you've come to that conclusion, but that was a good attempt by you anyway - well done, gold star :2thumb: Only someone being willfully obtuse... (or a moron) refuses to realise that there is a large difference between diving...

:pmsl: Who said it's right? It's what is and isn't part of the game. Leeds fans have, through hours of ponderous self-study, managed to convince themselves it's not poor form. Yet again the club's fans have shown a completely irregular moral compass to virtually all other fans when it comes to...

Yeah, it really wasn't. How many times during any given match does a player go down easily to buy a foul. 10? 15? It happens all the time during a game. How many times on any given match does a player purposefully handle the ball? Once? If that... How many goals per season are scored through...

Keep telling yourself anything to ignore the shame of the situation... Watkins went down easily, no question, but he was about to be cleared out the next step by the keeper so would likely have been a penalty anyway, it's hardly a Maradonna Hand of God situation... like the Roofe handball. It's...

Leeds fans going to set up a petition to get their goal overturned?

We were awful last night. It's a game of fine margins, and one or two lucky breaks going against us really sees us drop our head. First goal was a bit fortune - albeit a very clever finish - in that the ricochet fell kindly for PNE, despite us having an encouraging opening few minutes. We...

Pack had, what, three or four kicks at Kamo whilst he was on the floor? It was one of those "I was trying to get the ball, honest" moments. Not a lot in it, but the ref either has to blow immediately for obstruction and a free kick to you, or a foul on Kamo and a free kick to us. Either way, he...

Annoying game of football. Thought it was a thoroughly poor game throughout the first half, with both teams timid and ineffectual. Maupay should have scored (or at least actually connected with his shooting foot) when the ball was played across to him on the edge of the six yard box, and Watkins...

I think a couple of things will happen or need to happen. Smith was simply a cog in a larger backroom staff at Brentford. An important cog, for sure, but a cog nonetheless. He'll either get found out at Villa - as in, Villa and the fans perhaps didn't realise quite how narrow his role at...

Most likely is that we've been planning for this event a while. We hired Thomas Frank as a second assistant last year, and I'd have thought he'd step up to the plate whilst we brought in new staff to support him. Ex-Brondby manager, and coached a number of the Danish youth sides. A very tactical...

There he goes... Enjoyed his management of us immensely at times, and hated it at others. We played some blinding football with him at the helm, but he'll lack the immense support and trust that he got with us (and at Walsall by all accounts too) from the backroom staff and owner. No one in...

Competition. We only really have 1 senior proper striker in the whole squad. We definitely need/needed to replace Vibe with someone who'd push Maupay for the starting spot up front.

They'd have £5m to spend if they raised as much as we do in player sales. £7m for Woods, £4m for Egan, £3m Vibe, £1m Kirschbaumer, £6m for Jota, £3m Colin, £3m for Jozefzoon, £2m Dean, since the final day of the '17 summer window. Of the side that started today's game, only two of the eleven...

The last four seasons. No idea about this season, but it's £5m (possibly a bit more) only financed through player sales. We're probably paying Benrahma the same as Jozefzoon was on, and Konsa probably half what Bjelland was on. Plus we sold Vibe - who was a high earner - and didn't replace him...

When we've had a bottom four budget for the last four seasons, we can only compete at a certain level. I think this fact gets overlooked frequently and that we compete in the top half each season, most opposition fans seem to forget quite how small our budget is in comparison. Bottom four...
