Although we haven't let many in. There was a time last season when we defended superbly and I cared not when a team came at us. Just trusted the defence. This season everytime a team passes the half way line I get the collywobbles. Obvious diff is amps. Def gray rod amps and firpo better than what we got now. Rodon just seems better with amps. Nothing really against struik just amps and Rodon better. Bogle although great going forward is like firpo. Vacating his defensive duties and being out of position too much. I Spose both giving freedom to attack does put the pressure on the defense. Just got to put up with it because unless we have an injury amps goes back into midfield. Although I do feel Roth and Gruev will feel aggrieved.

Aus sit back have a fosters and a few shrimps, this time last year we had conceded 14 at this point. We are in good hands, have some positivity. The team are far more balanced and cohesive this year, although I would love a playmaker, but we will win this league, I feel very happy so far, as I'm sure others do to.

I know we will win but I want a stormer and psychological damage to the other top 6.
Also, I was referring to later in the season before our ridiculous collapse that the defence gave me confidence.

I definitely agree with you that the team / squad is far more balanced and cohesive.
However. there still remains a serious Achiles Heel in gk Meslier that you and many others have voiced serious concerns over this season and previous season etc.
. we all HOPE Leeds win league, many of us DEMAND Leeds win league. however are you sure :
' Leeds will. ' Dougie.

Baz, me old mucker, yes I am sure, and yes I have concerns over Mes, but still feel this possession based football will mitigate Mes somewhat. I don't agree that to reduce the Mes interaction with the team is right, any goalkeeper should be ready at any time to make a save. The jury on Mez is definitely still out.
