Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off Saturday 12.30pm. Live on Sky Sports & Talksport
Welcome to matchday 2 and another early kick off on Sky and Talksport
Team News
Leeds
What can I say. It's easier to get a seat on the Leeds bench than it is to get a seat in the stands at Elland Road.
Will be interesting to see if there are any cry offs leading to transfer speculation
West Brom
Major players Diangana and Wallace join the squad which is at full strength with exception of long term injured Daryl Dike.
Been a long time since I felt so pessimistic and downbeat but just cannot find any positiives, so apologies.
Going 3.0 West Brom.
Over to the best supporters on 606 with your score predictions and line ups
Can we go Live once again please Admin

A big negative for me was if we are going to play James and Gnonto we have to use them correctly. They need balls to run onto so they can attack the full backs.

Rodon had another shocker.
What is it about players we loan are good, we sign them on a permanent and they turn to carp??

Undefeated in the Championship this season !

I know you're having a laugh. But, so true.
Manage the next 13 days and see what the
squad is after that. And if we have a new
manager or not. Farke's future in his hands.

Pascal deservingly MOTM and looks and sounds happy so I'll be surprised if he leaves but then this is Leeds and one positive result isn't going to fix all our problems but it's a start.

A shocker in what way? He’s a defender and we didn’t concede! Yes he gave the ball away at times but just about every player did. Joseph, James and Piroe were much worse on that score.

I thought Rodon was fine. Not Struijk level today.

Rodons passing in every match so far has been abysmal to the extent that he's destroying potential attacks/breakaways or putting the midfield/defence in dangerous situations others have to clear up, or rely on opponents to mess up. I'd give him 2 more games to sort himself out or risk being replaced.

It's not enough o simply head away crosses

At this point not losing is huge. Reinforcements need to come in right away.
Five or six players at the least.
You just can't sell all your best players and expect to win. These deadbeat owners have to move and move fast or were back to pre Bielsa expectations.

He was no worse than anyone else today at giving the ball away. In fact he was better than quite a few.
He’s a defender and a clean sheet is what he’s paid to keep.
