We are top of the league

lots of people blamed bielsa's hard training but i thought it was more our small squad.
another 4 or five players in and we wont have to ruin our youth team this year.
i still maintain its just bad luck.

We have a lot of injury prone players and should have the injury league won by February.

Bielsa fault innit

Like many on this forum, I thought that the high, exacting standards of Bielsa's training methods were to blame for our injury problems.

Now I'm more inclined to think that injuries are just an everyday hazard in the world of professional football, but our problems were exacerbated by Bielsa's insistence on a thin, lean squad of experienced players. Consequently, we were cruelly exposed when the injuries started to mount up.

8 issues

James is only a 1 game ban
Drameh was seen as minor

So it’s only 6 ☹️

Elland, that's what I said only much better put.

Take away Forshaw, Cooper, Bamford and Firpo and injuries wouldn't seem that bad. Llorente and Koch seemed to have turned the corner thankfully.

Aw Jeez you didn't just say that did you ........

A lot of blame somehow found its way to Bielsa, very propagandish.

Bielsa, class act, has never once said anything bad about the club.

A class act who would have had us relegated, Jonty.
