Solid performance though forwards were a bit out of sorts. Wober and Rodon put in a great shift, maybe we should move to TC's favoured Back 3.

The Left Back situation can wait until the summer, there's no urgency to find replacement at present. The January window will all be about a number 10, and whether it's McAtee or Carvalho etc, don't see it being Buendia though, he's a £30m player.

I don't think anybody thinks we are the finished article. We all expect a McAtee/No 10 to be added to the squad in the New Year. That said, there will always be disappoiniting performances and this was one of the weakest this season, but I'd caveat that despiite all the negatives, we could still have easily equalised.

Struijk is the best defender in the championship, and every stat supports that, in fact he's arguably the best performing player in the championship. He has the best passing rate in the whole league at 1528 passes. Rodon is third btw. He can more than do a job. Rodon was in the SkyBet team of the week this week. If you check Football Transfer Markets valuations, Leeds have six of the highest valued 11 players in the championship. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/marktwerte/wettbewerb/GB2 Some times we beat our players up unnecesarily. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/marktwerte/wettbewerb/GB2

What he said!!! Our four wide players are all premiership class. Tanaka and Ampadu would definitely tick the box. Struijk already has been a premiership player, and along with Rodan & Wober are good enough. We've already invested a lot in Meslier, he's still only 24 and has his best years ahead of him - I would add a better reserve keeper thought. The Full Backs, mmm, Firpo is good enough but he's clearly not going to sign a new contract, so will need replaced. Bogle has played well but I think I'd like somebody challenging him for a starting spot. Up front, Aaronson has done well, but again I'd like somebody challenging him for a starting spot. Piroe in my opinion isn't premiership quality, he can score but can't do a lot else. But I'm also conscious that Harry Gray will be 17 next year - the same age that Archie broke into the first team.

Great performance, great teamwork, gret win, outstanding. We showed TC's Luton tractor boys a lesson tonight. Top of the table lads, top of the table.

And he's arguably been the best midfielder in all four leagues this November. 24/25 Championship           Ao Tanaka Appearances: 13           Pass accuracy: 91%           Tackles + interceptions per game: 3.5           Ground duel success rate: 58%           Aerial duel success rate: 80%           Stats via Sofascore

Potty change.

Gnonto would play if he was fit. Must have a bug or a knock or a bugknock

Winter is coming.

I would start him in every game, he's much better all round game than Piroe who is good at converting, but better suited to the last half hour.

I'd consider playing Gray as the Number 10, but I'm not a big fan of taking ex players back on loan to help their development at their new club. There's more forward looking options out there #JamesMcAtee

Though we did get John Giles, Dan James, Lee Sharpe, Brian Greenhoff, Gordon Strachan, Lee Sharpe coming the other way.

it seems to me our best hope for a number 10 is to go back in for James McAtee. He's not getting any game time at Man City, has proven credentials playing in the championship with Sheffield United. And I think City would consider loaning him out in January, with a possible option to buy next summer. That's if we don't sign Ryan Kent. 🤣

Chambers debuted for Scotland u 19s and has received rave reviews. Hope to see more of him in our first team soon.

Some more OPTA stats, I think they will please us all. https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/opta-predicts-new-final-championship-table-and-points-with-very-tight-leeds-united-sheffield-united-sunderland-and-burnley-calls-4870001?page=4 86 points it is.

And Big Sur in 2012. Nobody ever mentions that.

i survived an earthquake in Turkey in 2019.

It’s a fair point. I could t recall exactly what position he played.

Some potential number 10 options and their average OPTA scores Jack Clarke - 20.80 Alec Doughty - 18.90 Szmodics - 18.6 Hamer - 17.6 Bellingham 16.5 Aaron Ramsey - 15.8 I should really stress that an average of 20 is excellent. Hamer is averaging slightly less than Aaronson. Having not watched much Sheffield United, I can't say whether that's a correct call or not, but both are still decent scores.
