well weve still got lewis, stone, derry,walton,einersson, richardson, griffiths, but i see where you're coming from, we need some more central midfielders, creative ones.

Stones geting too old now, walton,einersson + richardson aren't good enough, and griffiths hasn't been given a chance! We really do need a midfield sort out! Koumas would be a good signing, but it looks like Cardiff are going to keep him.

Koumas would be a good signing, but it looks like Cardiff are going to keep him. Walton and Richardson aren't midfielders...... and neither of them have played bad in midfield and have even done well considering they are defenders........ We can't really comment on Einarsson as IMO he hasn't had enough of a chance in the first team, doesn't mean hes crap, look at what happened with Spring...... Stone will be more than capable in this league next season and i think Richardson is still more than adequate cover..... We'll have to wait and see what goes on in the transfer market but the initial signs aren't sounding promising...

God knows why Walton's never played a first team match in defence! I still think our midfield is one of our weakes areas and I reckon we need a new CB too.

Blackwell has said up to 9 players will leave Leeds in the summer but god knows who he's looking to sign. Is Miller definitely going back then?

Ah but they got crap service....come on you saw the way we played....Hulse would bag 20 goals easy playing for Reading last season with the service they gave their strikers....same goes for us. The midfield is the key and ours was not good enough in each department.

The midfield is the key and ours was not good enough in each department. So you think that they are all good enough to stay next season then? I agree about the service being gopping but we weren't exactly devastating from set pieces or in front of goal were we? Not trying to start a row here but we were very lucky in a lot of games last season and lacked flair up front. Yes some great goals and results but too many poor performances, mainly draws for my liking.

We should have kept Pugh at LB instead of crainey. Hopefully we can get rid of Harding, what a waste of money! Bakke looked great playing with Derry towards the end of the season, if can hang on to him, it could be a good partnership. Could still do with cover at CM though. Another CB and a Lm for cover. Perhaps a young keeper, do you know what that wilberforce is like?

I think it was the fact we had no service for the strikers with them having to create their own chance along with KB not having a clue who his first choice pairing were and had to keep chopping and changing so they couldn't quite get a partnership going. Also our tactics were based on counter attack....we looked very scared to play attacking football because of the lack of pace in defence which hindered us so playing negative will not get you goals either. The strikers we have.....Hulse, Healy, Blake and Cresswell are 4 top quality strikers in this divison.....they will score bundles providing we correct the problems mentioned earlier

Stone looked like he was playing with caution....he's getting on and has lost the pace needed for a winger...we got to look at someone else cos Griffiths was just a stop gap really. Bakke and Derry were good together yes but sometimes you got to question his attitude and maybe its best to offload him just for the fact of his wage packet alone....does he justify it? Not really. Centre mid is key really...id like to see us go for Matty Holland or someone like him. Sorry mate i dont know much about Wilberforce but i do know we have one of the best youth set ups in this country and all the other teams know it hense why they sniff around trying to poach our young guys. Im sure he's good just like Rothery.

Was that the right team to put out in the play off final? was it hell. Do you think he (KB)should stay?

No we definatly played the wrong side in the final Tel....going with one up front...KB had a screw loose. He worried more about what Watford could do to us than what we could do against them and from that point on the battle was lost. I am up for KB getting another crack at it but if it doesnt work then he's got to go.....of course if Batesy sacked him and brang in someone then i wouldnt be gutted either....
