What gets me in recent times when we have brought a player from down under they really like to show us a video montage of their highlights. I have never seen that on the pitch when they got here, you think we learn something from that.

Leeds have had many years of getting it right with squad balance and mix of great players with journeymen grafters.

After today I’m convinced I’d put Oliver Holmes in there too.

And currie.

Agreed.

We need a couple of 2nd rowers with some go forward.

It's not just prop forwards, where we need to recruit.

Karetaker why would you get rid of Walker?

Olly Holmes and Bullock are on £5k per week..
They are returning with £5 worth of effort.

£260k a year? I don't think so.

You’d be surprised then.

You can always rely on the Wires



“ Can’t beat a good clear out”

So, you're telling me that they take up £520k of the salary cap? The two marquees take up another £300k. So that leaves £1.3m between 21 other players. And those players include Ratchford, King, Currie, Clark x 2, Hughes, Charnley, Cooper. No way.

Yep

Absolute nonsense Duckie and I think you know it

I can’t tell you I didn’t make it up. That’s all I can say.
Wether you want to believe it is up you’s.
About £1m of out cap is spent on 6 players.

In hindsight, a woeful season was probably needed to prompt a major overhaul of the squad instead of just tinkering round the edges. The reality is we have combined very poor recruitment policy with a number of our senior players being past their best. Cooper, Ratchford, D Clark, Charnley and Currie are in the latter group who have served us well but are no longer able to compete at the top level and to have that many at one time suggests inadequate long term planning.
It is unlikely that any coach could turn that around in one season which Lee Briers alluded to when he left to join Wigan.
On a more positive note, we have some really talented youngsters we can build a team round in Thewlis, Wrench, Longstaff, Dean , Ashton and Walker and I like the look of Leon Hayes and Lucas Green in the Academy.
So new recruitment will determine the success or otherwise of DP so let’s give him the chance instead of knee jerk criticism.

New 2 year deal for Jason Clark would be standard at the moment. #Kisskamout

And we have the winner of duckie's most ridiculous ever post competition. And it's beaten off some serious contenders!!

Is it though, I would of thought most posters are EFL compared to Premier League Duckie

Some massive competition for that award, but I tend to agree, this is next level bafoonery of the highest order.

Exactly. These problems have been developing for a good few years.

Classic Duck throwing in a double negative to give some wriggle room (or am I being too kind)

Pretty sure he’s not that bright!

Don't think Duckie even knows what the ball is blown up with
Another one who has so obviously never even played the game

I can't honestly see a massive turn around and i suspect the season will peter out.
It's strange though isn't it. When we played Cas only a few games into the season we looked pretty decent, if not spectacular and Cas were bloody awful. I was quietly hopeful then that we may turn out ok this season even if not challenging for silverware. I also thought that Cas being dreadful were likely to be in a relegation fight come the end of the season. How things have changed since then. We're on a downward spiral and Cas are playing some decent stuff sitting in a good position to be in the top 6. It's teams like Cas that have a much lower Cap than us and i think that's what is the most annoying thing. And i'm not the biggest fan of Lee Radford either. But i'd have never thought he would be going ok and Powell would be struggling at this point in the season..

Yeah, i didn't think we'd win anything this year to be honest, but i didn't think we'd be this bad and Disjointed.
Connor wrench should stay in the team i think, he gives it his all every game and plays really well. The kids are showing more heart,effort and determination then most of the squad.
We'll finish about 9th and that will be our season in a nutshell. Powell will change the team in the long run for the better, and the squad will be VERY different next year.
I'll just take each game as they come and enjoy the wins when we get them. Not worth getting stressed about to be honest. Disappointed and frustrating but that's it. I'm just focussing on who will sign for next year and who we will release, that's all i'm excited about now.
