Agree completely.
Cracking article.
I too fear that we are now stuck with many players that aren't good enough.
So far there has only been 2 maybe 3 players out of the 15 signed that have actually shown they are good enough to get us promoted. that leaves us with possibly 13 new signings that need replacing.
Lets hope I too am wrong!
I actually look forward to going to ER again knowing I will see some good football, first half yesterday was thoroughly enjoyable, second half was poor due to negative tactics same as Rotherham and coach has paid with his job, we were unlucky not to beat Sheff Wed and should have beaten Rotherham and Wolves so players are plenty good enough just need the right manager/coach, three of yesterday's midfield that outplayed wolves in the first half were under 20, problem may be that until Cellino stops sticking his nose into team affairs and gets on with running the club things may not improve
Don, do you think he'll ever back off from team affairs ?, there's hands on & hands off !.....at least he's admitted to making a mistake with this appointment, but wasn't hockaday the same mistake ?...I doubt he'll keep his hands off...
The bottom line is, if we have the ball then the opposition doesnt. I'm fine as long as we keep the ball.
I think all of the new signings have done well. Berardi has been the only one who's looked average but I've been impressed with them. We've not seen Montenegro or Del Fabro yet either.
Silvestri and Antenucci have been the regular class acts. Doukara and Bianchi have shown glimpses, hot and cold, brilliant at times but not often enough. We're just like Liverpool atm, they signed 12 players in summer AND sold their star striker. Give it time lads
Bianchi is a class act, he's just not n a position people get recognised in
Bianchi is the championship equivalent of Matic. You don't remember him doing a lot but he does fill gaps and is good on the ball.
So if the players are all so good why do the stats state we are by far the worst side in the division comparing shots for and against us?

Speechless to be honest on this one.
I'm not saying the system is perfect, I have said throughout the season that we need more incision
We can't keep possession! We are constantly the side with less than 50% possession and we are supposedly playing possession football!
Shaun, you say you are impressed with all the signings apart from Berardi. Then only say two have looked consistently impressive.
We also haven't seen two of the signings at all. So how can you be impressed by them?!
Like I said only 2 maybe 3 look good enough to really stand out as promotion contenders
Kebab legs, once again I disagree with you and this k u are missing the point.
Players are good apart from Berardi.
Tactics are what has hampered us.
That's it,
People keep saying the signings are impressive yet they've failed to perform under 3 different coaches now.
We have 1 or 2 decent signings out of 15, would have much rather had quality over quantity.
Good article Kebab, 5 stars from me.

Three different managers have picked largely the same players so clearly you think we are picking the right ones.
So you are sure that it is purely down to tactics that the side is lucky to have 16 points and sit in 18th place. Statistics can lie but surely you are worried about the ones I posted? Clearly in one game shots are often incidental and it's the quality of chances you need rarer than a load of pot shots from distance but over 14 games we are absolutely massively the worst side out there for shots for and against. No other side comes close.
There are plenty of players who admit to not listening to team talks or managers n the sidelines so are tactics that important? Put 11 great players on a pitch with no manager against 11 not so great ones with a great a manager and it's obvious who will win.
Once again I hope I am so wrong. I hope redfearn can get the wins needed and I hope in time some of these players take the club forwards but right now I can't see how any leeds fan is not worried about who the players putting on the white shirt are.
Great article
For me the problem is the same as it's been since Gradel left. We have no pace or width.
I don't think its that we have bad players, but without an outlet, they suffer. They try to play the ball forward, lose position due to not having a proper outlet and then the defence comes under pressure again.
Silvestre has been good. I think Antenucci and Doukara have shown they have talent and will improve. The rest haven't shown much for me.
Shots on goal is largely dependent on tactics not players.
Bellusci
Bianchi
Antenucci
Doukara
Silvestri
Cook (he's like a new signing)
Cooper (looked good when played)
First thing I'd do if I was Redders is appoint another Captain, cos Pearce ain't Captain material.
Then I'd go back to putting Antennucci and Duke back together as strikers up front.
Then I'd have a beer and contemplate my navel while wondering why we aren't putting more shots on goal.
After about 10 seconds of thought, I'd come up with the obvious solution that others should'ave obviously thought of as it was obvious what was obviously missing in an obvious stat.
I'd give permission for the midfield to take more pot shots from edge of area, it'd be the obvious solution.

Simply not good enough?
