If we do not end up getting promoted and lose Gnonto, Summerville, Rutter, Firpo as may be the case it would be difficult, but not devastating IMO. So we may end up having to sign 9 or 10 players to replace those being sold or not re-signing. That’s no more than many clubs will have to do anyway,

Whilst accepting this season has been lightyears ahead of the last 2 seasons, in terms of football played, our squad, manager etc, it’d be very unambitious to wish for another season or two like it in the Championship, just because it’d be an easier watch. Yes, there’s trepidation about what

Yeah; there's been some discussion on the WhatsApp about this, and my position is that I want Leeds United Football Club to win every match, and that means being in the Premier League next season. And I don't think we'll be Sheffield United, because we're better-resourced and better-experienced;

As usual, a great assessment Dave, agree with everything. On the way home, the radio Leeds team saw it differently and seemed to think we were always in control! Didn't look like that to me in the 2nd half from NE Upper! 3 points is all that matters at this stage tho, all we can do is win and

The pattern of that match was v similar to the Plymouth home cuptie. In the 2nd half they started to press and with a 1-0 lead Farke evidently instructed Meslier not to pass out from the back, but the succession of long balls just kept giving them the ball back. Thankfully the difference was that
