The weaknesses?

Before I start this isnt kneejerk from today. Felt it a while...


Keeper - He is good and actually played well today. However he is young has made a few errors and to me looks like he doesnt instill confidence. Maybe harsh but an experienced keeper would make a difference

Alioski -A big issue for me. Without Pablo we have put too much pressure on Saiz. Alioski is not a winger for me. He runs hard and covers ground and does actually create based on the stats. However, he is our weak link and it shows. A decebt squad player but we need a Jota type player - Lad at Birmigham.

Defensive cover - We are lost without our two quality centre halves.

Not all doom and gloom. But feels a bit short at the moment.

Anyone else noticed the keeper never takes anything cleanly ???

Yeah. Thats part of my point bud. He is a good shot stopper to be fair. But sounds like Kasper, Ankergren etc. I want a Sullivan -- An experienced pro who owns his box end of.

I don’t mind him and not to worried about him being in side.

Just don’t thinks he’s that great a prospect

He's got good distribution and a good shot stopper. But he hesitates at times and I don't trust his judgement. Blackman should be sent back. I heard we were looking to sign Tom Heaton in Jan, not sure how true that is.

Another weakness is physical strength. A commentator said the other day that Blackburn struggled against Millwall physically, yet Blackburn were too strong for us in areas. We lack height, leadership, pace and a plan b.

Gotta tonk Ipswich on Wednesday now

Best we've got but, hand on heart, how many of you see him as the answer? League 1 level keeper at best.
Incidentally, neither of the Leeds commentators, Eddie or that Michael bloke could remember his name today, Michael kept calling him Bradley Peacock-Farrell and I swear Eddie called him Bradley Cooper at one point.

Are you sure that he wasn't commentating on Bailey passing the ball to Cooper and you misheard. Maybe your ears are shot.

Genuinely think there has been an overreaction to this result. When I compare to our off days, and I'd class today as an off day, off seasons past we at least still looked a threat. With current injury issued I'd play alioski at left back. Far less square peg to round hole than Dallas or beradi. It is also obvious that hernandez is a step above and makes others look so much better. The system dictates intricacy round the box and he is the best exponent of this. For all his critics ayling is a gem of a player. Offers height defensively and go forward mentality. We always look worse without him. 2 very winnable games next. I'll only start to panic if we don't right it then.

Wakefield, no need to panic. But the worries are not just this game. Been a while since we have created loads of chances. With the exception of probably Sheffield Wednesday. Brentford were the better team. Struggled against Blackburn. Was poor against Birmingham.

Personally I think we will up our level when players like Hernandez return. He is arguably the best player in the league. I do think we will be right up there at the end of the season but the next few games will either reinforce that opinion or change it. We need to put the wins together soon. I think we need at least 3 wins out of 5. Maybe more

While I like him and think he is doing a good job I still think it’s an area we need to look into.

I think if we can manage to be in or around the autos come January then for a lot of players, particularly some keepers, we look like a solid career move.

Look at Southampton and Burnley.

Southampton have Gunn and Forster not starting and Southampton have Heaton and Pope.

Gunn has just signed so would definitely not be for sale you would think, but the other three, they need to be playing first team football

Watched the gam from the glorious setting of the Black Prince.....

BPF has improved considerably but never installs confidence at set pieces. I previously thought he'd benefit from a loan away. He's done enough to suggest otherwise but is he a good number One? Not convinced he's good enough. Yet.

I'm not overly concerned about Saturday's result, we will lose games. How we deal with Ipswich Town is more important for me.
