Fortress Elland Road

Piroe was invisable.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy he scored and hope he continues to, but you can see why he wasn't on premiership radars when we got him.

Premiership defenders would easily stop him. He has goals in him but not much else and world class defenders will easily see to him.

But, that said, he is what we need now so I don't care about premiership defenders, he just needs to keep doing against championship ones

You may well be right, Matty, and it is strange that none of the PL clubs came after him...

BUT...

he may become an entirely different and maybe even better sort of player at Leeds. He's still young, only just coming into his prime. He's got plenty of self-confidence, built on solid foundations at Swansea. And he's playing under a manager who knows what he's doing. He's also playing alongside the likes of Georginio and Summerville, all of them hungry for goals.

Don't think they've totally clicked as a team yet but they're getting there, and somebody is going to take a pasting when they do.

I think we are in for a good season, which I doubted when we were losing players in the transfer window.
We have brought in some good players, we are not missing the ones that left, and we have one of the best managers in the division.
So I agree we are in a good place at the moment and Ithink it will get better.

didn't we sign ampadu, kamara, and gruev for less than we paid for adams?

Correct kammy, the club did some good business in the window, both outgoings and incomings.

I think our recruitment in the summer has been phenomenal.

To lose tye amount of players we did yet still be as strong as we are in terms of depth is a real achievement

Rodon still hasn’t been beaten as a Leeds player, he’s definitely our best CB and also brings Struijk’s game up…they are forming a good partnership. Hadn’t rated Kamara, but that was a good performance.

Been out all day, anyone watch MOTD last night/this morning, Tyler Adams likely to need another operation.
I, of course wish him a speedy recovery.

The only thing Piroe does well is score goals. Well, isn't that a novelty we can get used to, seeing as our previous strikers were all allergic to onion bags?
DF's comments about him were spot on last week. I have no doubt we will see a monster of a striker once he beds in to this team and this way of playing.

Talking to a Spurs supporter yesterday who has a ST. He said we got a really good player and many were gutted to see him leave.
