Still feel we are a creative midfielder light and a centre back. Telfer is the wrong road to go down for my money. Huntingdon is my preferred choice with Rui Marqes. The problem is a lack of height so he will possibly prefer Lubomir Mickalik even though he makes me bloody nervous !! All in all, a few signings i am not familiar with that may just surprise us i hope. The lad Becchio was impressive in Ireland according to my mates who made the trip. Just needs match fitness. Snodgrass? Well, lets hope he is as promising as they claim, heard it all before and they flop. We have a squad good enough to get us out of this league. I am praying this year is the start of the long march back to the premier league. Come on Leeds. Marching On Together !!!! |

Returned from the game today [4-1].
Not too confident on that showing. Denden FC were very average and although we created lots of chances, we also looked dodgy at the back again. They had chances that other teams would have taken. Richardson had a mare of a game. The 2 centre backs, although both on the scoresheet looked disjointed on a couple of occasions. Beckford scored again, but still has that disinterested look to his body shape at times. Unfortunately, Becchio was injured so did not get the chance to see how he and Beckford would team up together. The lad Snodgrass looks promising but needs to be involved for more of the game. Robinson is a real threat. Looks like a great signing to me. Too many changes in the second half so hard to comment on performaces as the whole team performance dropped considerably. Another pre-season win but not confident some of the problems of last season have sorted themselves out. I live in hope though, ever the optimist about promotion. Ask me at christmas if that is still the case ! Marching On Together !!! |

You don't need much of a defence in League 1 (nor attack frankly). 91 points last year from a team playing shite football going forward and back?.
Offensively we should be better this time around. Becchio's twice the player Kandol is. Out wide Robinson, Snodgrass and Johnson piss all over Carole, Prutton and Sweeney. Howson just keeps on improving and I know Delph is only 17 but I hope he starts more games than Douglas because he's on another level. They now know to play it on the floor and they should get us promoted. That's not optimistic, it's realistic. |

Is Andy Robinson on the bench? Or is he injured/not match fit?
By the way, good luck against Scunny today.

, and we won the League, and Newcastle stayed down As for winning pre season games it means Nothing i mean we lost Every one last year, and then look what happened |

Cracking start to the season. A good win away to a team who've just come from the Championship and they look good. We've make some brilliant signings; Snodgrass and Robinson are giving us the width we've been crying out for and Becchio is showing glimpses of promise!
The highly disputed acquisition also known as Big Enoch was my MOTM. Sterling performance. It's good to be back! MOT. |

Enoch's arrival and pre-season performances had me seriously doubting Gmac and I didn't like it. Settled my nerves by convincing myself Kenneth had brought him here but the last two games have restored my faith. Hes not just another big donkey who's second touch is a tackle! good at linking up, strong and decent in the air he could prove a very shrewd buy indeed; the perfect foil for Beckford?. |

Sorry to strike a pessimistic note but wasn't our defence hopeless against Chester? I hope it gets sorted before we play a decent side.

For sure. Sheehan and Ankergren are as good as they come at this level. Richardson is really quite bad but could be carried. Marques' regression since the relegation season from t'championship has been marked. Huntington is very young and none too wise; although potentially good enough for football at a higher level. I'm hoping our center backs will slowly forge an understanding the more they play together and luckily our offence will afford us the luxury of being patient.
Gmac won't rush out and buy. He's far too sensible for that and I trust he'll sort things. If the decisions were mine though, Frazer would be shown the door. His one redeeming feature is enthusiasm for bombing forward but we clearly don't need it with the front six we have ATM. A combination of Telfer/Gardner/Hughes would be played at right back and I'd be looking to bring in a center back who's proven at Championship or League 1 level. Over 27yrs, captain material, consistent, preferrably British (for language). |

Every team has a bogy Team and ours is defintaly Oldham
in the 89s when we beat most teams at ER, we always lost to Oldham, we did beat them 6/0 one year, but when we won the last 1st division title they took 3 points off us, and we beat them wityh a very lucky Goal at ER, at that, apart from a victory over them in the 87 play off semi final, cant remember any other victory against them. Not particually worried about today tho., but would li8ke to see Lubo, back with Huntingdon at cb, btw what do people think of this true or cxrap ??? http://www.waccoe.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135302v |

http://www.waccoe.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135302v Everton as been muted as a more likely new home for Smithy ? He always said he would return one day , I just don't think the time is right for him just yet maybe he as one more move in him before he comes home . |

This Cant be true can it
From wikapedia Snodgrass rejected a new contract with Livingston at the end of the 2007–08 season and signed for Leeds United on 24 July 2008 for an undisclosed fee based on compensation due to his age. Snodgrass so far has had a positive impact since joining Leeds, in his first pre season match, he claimed 2 assists whilst in his competitive debut against Scunthorpe, Snodgrass's freekick set up Enoch Showunmi. Snodgrass scored his first Leeds United goal againstChester City in the first round of the league cup, Snodgrass charged 60+ yards to cooly slot home a cross from the left. Later that game Snodgrass set up Andy Robinson for goal number 4 and Jermaine Beckford for goal number 5.[2] On the 17th of August 2008 Robert Snodgrass signed for Fulham for an undisclosed fee. |
