I dont think we've been this strong in centre mid for a long time with Derry, Bakke and Nicholls all three of those are good. On the other hand centre back we have Kilgallon and two ageing players in Butler and Gregan if we had maybe one more decent centre back a left back!! and a big centre forward we would certainly be challenging!!

Yes maybe we would but we got to get those 3 players yet and that may not happen as soon as we want it.....dont expect us to top the table because with what we have at the mo, we won't imo. |

oh no i totally agree...on the other hand i think even the squad at the moment can finish in the play offs i just think that extra bit of quality in defence and up front would get us into the top 2 with the right tactics aswell.....

Oh yeah too right i mean the squad isnt that much weaker than last season so we should be in the playoffs no problem. But of course we really want to avoid that.......so we need these players in pronto or at least have them in place by the time the transfer window shuts! |

The squad hasn't improved much this season, but the opposition in the league has, so I won't be surprised if we struggle this season. WBA and Brum have pretty much premiership standard squads as they've sold only 2 players between them. Don't expect to walk the league, just because we're Leeds.

I think I'm the only one who feels optimistic for the season ahead!! I reckon that Nicholls is a major signing at this level and agree that the MF looks strong. If Healy is played through the middle he'll get goals (still don't like the lazy shit though!). Cresswell playing off him and Blake in behind. Jury is still out on Beckford but could be an impact player from the bench.
As for CD, I think Butler is solid enough alongside Killa but agree that LB needs sorting.

I don't think left back is a problem at all, Crainey is solid and Harding is improving and just needs more experience.... central defence is my main concern, we definately need to improve here, we've been shipping in goals all pre season and I think its mainly due to this, perhaps a loan move for Davenport could be the solution..... Up front is also an issue we don't have a player like Hulse anymore, hes different to Cresswell..... I'd also like to hear mroe about Darren Ward who we have on trial as a goalkeeper, hopefully he can prove to be good....
