This should have been an exciting season of progression

but it clearly will NOT be now due to VO, AR, MB inexplicably neglecting to strengthen the Leeds United Midfield ( which has therefore been over run in most games this season)

throughout the summer window we had the Athletic and YEP stating that Leeds were looking to strengthen the midfield in the summer window.

this made perfect sense after the Michael Cuisance CM signing falling through at the medical the summer before plus the very regrettable moving on of CAM Leeds United legend Pablo Hernandez after the appalling mishandling of him by Bielsa.

however the club inexplicably made no midfield signings instead arguably unnecessarily buying Daniel James ( for £25 million) who so far has not contributed more or been that much better than Helder Costa

Roberts and Rodrigo in midfield : good grief : if Leeds were not going to recruit a CAM, Bielsa woud have been far better off playing ( and therefore keeping ) Pablo ( 60 minutes starting or coming on from the bench)

anyway ( regretfully) its happened it is what it is

hopefully the next 4 winnable games can bring some vital victories to get some momentum and restore some confidence and energy.

I was tempted to question Orta about our reluctance to sign a CM in the summer when I walked past him in the carpark yesterday but as I'd had a couple of pints I thought best not to.

Peacock Alf? I parked at The White Hart went in for one, and some old pals sat at a table. So stayed there going over the old times.

Best not is right Alf, because you just know he would have denigrated it as simple beer talk, and your very relevant point would have been lost on him.

Exactly Chris plus he was with guests, possibly sponsors so I didn't want to give them a bad impression.

Yes I was in the Peacock :)
