Agree with most, tho for me AO would also be player of the season, as he has been much more consistent. DJ will probably win due to his goal and assist stats, but in reality, he should have much more of both. Bogle should be up there too, as barring a tricky intro, he has been a bargain and revelation, silencing his early season pointless critics.
I'd also like Bellingham, but Kelleher from Liverpool would be first.

It always amazes me how we all watch the same games but see players so much differently. It’s interesting that the first player most would sign is a goalkeeper.
Signing- Bogle. Started off a bit shaky, but gives 100% every game and has 6 goals, not bad for a right back in his first season. some very crucial goals, also apparently a big character in the dressing room and still only 24 years old.
Player of the season- DJ. His goals and assists have been crucial. Not up for debate really.
Underatted- Darlow. Has settled down the nerves of the defence and fans.
Youth- can’t comment really as none of them have had a chance.
Can’t pick Joseph as he has had plenty of chances, albeit cameos, but 4 goals in 58 appearances isn’t going to cut it.
Signing- Kelleher or pope if available
Player/ person to have a beer with- it would have to be with our set piece coach
Just to pick his or her brains on the goals return we’ve had from the hundreds of corners and free kicks we’ve had this season.

Great point C and J re "set piece coach" . pretty sure that must be only Farkey himself .
as if there somehow really is a specialist set piece coach currently at LUFC, then going by our truly woeful set pieces . we need a replacement pronto!
17 Apr 2025 15:02:42
Leeds don't have a specialist set piece coach - it is one of the assistant coaches that does it. I believe we have the lowest returns from SP in the league so I personally would bring someone in for next season. Saying that, we don't have a squad well suited to set pieces with a fair number of smaller players. With the best will in the world, Gnonto, Solomon, DJ etc are never going to be nodding in goals from corners.

100% Baz. As much as I like Joe Rodon, and I think he’s had a good season, but one goal return is extremely poor, given how many corners we get every game, which he goes into opposing box for every one. I wish he had as much conviction attacking the corners as he does defensively. He would be double figures this season. I know it’s his job defending, but I bet he knows he should be chipping in with more goals than he has. I made the same point with Robin Koch a couple of seasons ago, never scored once in 70 plus games. Came up for every corner as well. Both lads taller than both “big” Jackie Charlton and Gordon McQueen I may add! Could be that DF is in charge of set pieces, I’m not sure. I remember hearing that when arsene wenger was in charge at arsenal, he never really was over the moon at getting corners, as he was always afraid getting caught out in a counter attack. Whether that was gen I don’t really know.

You shouldn’t really need a set piece coach. Get a good delivery, ala Rothwell against Sunderland, and a decent header of the ball attacking it like pascal did with conviction, and that causes problems for the opposition. Nobody expects DJ, sol, or big Willy to be powering in headers from corners. Not sure why you think I’m expecting that from any of those lads. Strachan was very good at coming up with innovative set pieces in Howard’s team. Anyone remember the Strachan/ Mcallister corner against villa? Also big Chris white at the front post, flicking the ball on, and Chris fairclough steaming in to head home. Preston actually had a half decent set piece against us, thankfully we managed to block it. Every team and every set of supporters at every level gets a lift when they get a corner, I just think it’s a bit of a wasted opportunity not to capitalise on the amount of corners we get every game.

Super follow up post Cand J . I was thinking the exact sane thing of that superb clever intricate corner routine by Strach and McAllister which set up Chappy for a tap in vs Villa in our league winning season
The ball remained on ground throughout. one of my fave ever Leeds goals from a corner.
