Can't blame luck on everything that's a losers attitude tbh. If we had made quicker moves and not farted around over a few hundred 100k we would have signed him, yes finances may have not allowed for it but finances won't allow for much if we are in league 1 next season and we had just lost Martin. That's not bad luck that's just poor planning from us to be going right to the transfer deadline even accounting for the embargo we had a long time to do deals yet couldn't do them for whatever reason. 

Darmstadt refused to sell as they did not have a replacement nothing to do with DCFC “farting about “

Phil Jones will be my barometer for this window.

I have a feeling that Rooney wants Jones and he may have spoken to him.  You could see Jones wanting to come and just play football.

As each day ticks by, if Jones signs for someone else, to me that would be a sign all is not well.

I appreciate why that may seem far fetched, but it has been reported in more than one news outlet, he had been favourite to sign for us with bookies for a while also.

The other clue to this window is the fact Rooney publicly says he wants his deals done quickly, just like Cocu did last year. As each day ticks by without any valid links, suggests all is not well.

 

Don’t think Jones is fit. Not played since Feb I’m sure I’ve read. Could be wrong

I can’t see this happening - would Rooney want him? - would he get in the team ahead of Richards currently? 
we would be the only team in the championship paying money for a transfer in the championship wouldn’t we?

We need back up for CKR. He is 34 and if he gets injured we only have Waggy who isn’t the same beast. Don’t think the fee if any would be high as Dursan is in the last knockings of his contract .

Bielsa may be an analytics nerd but he's also tactically extremely rigid and not massively sophisticated. Unlocking Bielsa ball is simply breaking their press at which point their wingbacks are too far up the pitch meaning oceans of space exists both behind and in front of them and matching their work rate i.e. following their runners. In the championship teams found this harder to do because of concentration levels dropping off in lesser players, less technically able players being able to break out of their aggressive press and fatigue setting in more quickly due to playing more games. Even in our division though  their form fell off the edge of the cliff around February as they started to tire making it much easier to match their intensity and break through their press.  In the premiership good quality teams such as Leicester etc. are already taking them to the cleaners on an increasingly regular basis. 

His inability to cope with a basic formation change in our second leg should have been the moment everyone realised this is a guy who just cannot adapt which is one of the reasons why he's never won anything. It is also why this guy is at Leeds United and not Barcelona. He's not a fraud as his approach to analytics and implementation of footballing philosophy is pretty unique from what I can gather but he's not god and not one of the best managers in the world despite what others claim.  

He won't relegate Leeds as they'll pick up enough points against good teams having an 'off day' and are just as good as 7/8 other teams in the division. But finishing 14th/15th (where they'll likely end up) isn't taking the premier league by storm like they all imagined they would. My guess would be he'll leave early next season after a string of poor results due to burnout in the core of the squad starts to hit. 

The Covid break helped them enormously last season. Gave them a big rest which avoided the fatigue of the previous season 

Think this issue was that CKR like Bielik wasn't properly match fit at the start of the season and now both are up to speed. Hopefully followed shortly by Jordon Ibe.

Google it mate. There's photos of us wearing this shirt. Short and long sleeve. Probably the erased bit ? or the beer? Haha

Probably both beer and my oldtimers . Yes seen the pics before but just doesn’t resonate with me . 
Always been a fan of long sleeved shirts , preferred to play in them ( could keep hands warm lol ) never keen on short sleeves

Local artist Steven McLoughlin has given us three of his brilliant prints that he did of the Baseball Ground two of them are the well trodden routes to the ground and one is a view from the pop side, to make them truly unique he is also getting each one signed by Kevin Hector, a great gesture. You can bid on them here 

 

How do us non tweeters bid Phil ?

Does make you wonder how a loan of £30 million (reportedly), £11 million in sales (Was Delap this off season or season before?), maybe 10-15 thousand season tickets (circa 4 million), 10 million in TV revenue, 3 million in sponsorship including the Rooney boost, so on top of all this another loan is needed?

The 30 m( 15 reported elsewhere I believe ) loan was repaid in full according to our friend at the Athletic 

Won 3-1 Ibe and Bielik came through unscathed. 65 mins for Bielik. Good performance by the youngsters. 2 sent off late on for Southampton
