WalthamOwl Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Would take 4th from bottom if offered it now. These playing are a disgrace. Before this break it didn’t look like we knew how to win a game. I doubt that will have changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I don’t expect things to continue along the lines that they were? Leeds have typically collapsed due to the high intensity they play at and end of season burn out. Unfortunately I think the enforced break will have played in to their hands will come back fresh and go up. Be more than happy to have this thrown back at me if they do collapse though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LittleG Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Bit of a glass half full guy so I just cannot see us coming back with any marked improvement. Hope I'm wrong but don't trust the players and management to get things right on the pitch. Will be touch and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 If we win every game and we realise the solution to our problems. It's the fans fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Personally I hope Monk has already decided what players need to go and he doesn’t change his mind and decide to keep quite a few of them. Over their contracts they have been nowhere near good enough, what happens in the remaining months should not change that fact. Keep Fletcher and the 3 young lads, kick the rest out of the door ASAP.

Here’s how I call it 0-5 should stay up 6-9 touch and go, squeaky bum time 10 and over -“ we’re doomed, aye, doomed, d’ya hear” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think Fessi will end up playing up front if both Harris and Reach are fit instead of out on the left. Our big area of concern is defense we were leaking goals, Dawson form was shot and personal after the Man City game Wildsmith should have been given a chance, Westwood would be the preferred option but Monk seems to have an issue with him and the other 4 not allowed to play players. With the case dragging on with the EFL we need to get ourselves about 15 points clear of the bottom 3, as I think if it is 9 or less we could be in serious problems. With everyone fit we have some decent options, as you say a fit and confident Wickham could be a huge impact. We could go with something like this, though Forestieri & Harris might push for starting places.

Form could turn on its head for a few clubs. We have an opportunity to bring Reach & Luongo back with some conditioning. Have time to bed Wickham & Windass in as well. Let's see what effect that has. This. After more than 8 weeks break it will be like a new season, players will be rusty and form has yet to be gained. Hope we can benefit from this.
