This does feel like a defining moment. Not just yesterday's match but our achilles heal crystallised by two moments - Costa controls the ball, takes it forward and cuts it back for Bamford who skies it. Reach does the same for Nuhiu who scores. Identical moves apart from right and left hand side (and the outcome obviously! ) . And sadly I think Klich or Harrison (and Costa if someone else was the provider) would probably have skied it too. Then we have Phillips feeling the need post match to respond defensively to tweets from fans. Klich may have gone off the boil recently but he's a good player - but also remember his scoring ratio when Saiz was feeding him. Saiz type players don't grow on trees (especially at the price we got him for - £3m? ) and neither do prolific, physically able centre forwards but I cannot believe they haven't been scouring the UK and beyond for at least a year looking for both. Fairness and belief in MB (and complete awe at what he has turned the players available to him into) tells me we have to wait till 1 February before we judge - but quality additions are needed, IMHO, up front this month and if that means spending a bit more than they wanted then so be it (if nothing else then from a financial/ business sense point of view) . Industry and belief may keep a team up but I fear they don't take teams up. Quality does. What happens at the end of the season Andrea if we don't go up?

Radz will bring in Lee Bowyer at end of season if Leeds don't go up.

. and Leeds will go back to being a mid table team. and then Radz will want out . but will he find a buyer then?

Sadly it's hard to believe that we won't stuff up promotion again like last season. Not getting promotion this season will see also see some of our best talent also leave. Is bielsa really a master tactician who spends hours analysing stats?, Someone send him and Radz a copy of last season's highlights.

I agree with the original post and well said but one win in seven is not a moment it is a run.

Thing that bothers me Manston is that obviously Bubs knew Eddie was going back early December at latest, Radz knew it +Victor knew it .
In that time there should have been a concrete list made say choice of 3 strikers in ascendency .
Then come January 2 bosh, concrete offer on table of club in question.
Money talks, not. column inches on newspapers off who we might be interested in. Just say we had Adams or Vyds yesterday chances are we would be in the next round of the cup and another 3 points from win against Wednesday yesterday, another step nearer the big time .
But. oh no not our board let's go to Albania and see what the talent is like there,

Chris agreed mate no plan made they all knew who would be available on loan or to buy that’s football your in the know, your taking, all this rubbish about they didn’t know crap, they should have had someone in days ago, we have all known that bam bam is not going to give us goals but MB seems not to care and continue to be blind, drop a midfield player if you want to play in but we need a striker plain to see that and now are lead is beginning to dwindle away again could be playoff I do hope not.

I hear what you are saying Chris and fully agree. I have no problem with Albanian (or any other far corner country) just want a natural poacher/ goalscorer on the books.
