Five ex Leeds players on the pitch last night, in the Blunts vs Boro game,
Blunts; Paddy, good goal, missed an easy one, Rothwell, sub but sent off for horrendous tackle, KP sub involved in Paddy’s goal looked rusty, and Hjelde late sub.
Boro; Luke played CB and was best of the bunch I thought but none of them looked epl standard.
Malanda at CB for Boro looked an amazing find, but you do have to remind yourself of the chasm of difference between championship and the epl.
Same applies to young Boro skipper Hackney who looks a class above everyone at championship level.

Was thinking this morning. Think Bor and Ipswich automatic but not sure who else.
It will be interesting to see ( if we survive ) how much better we are to the promoted sides.
Has a change in tactics ( more direct ) opened it up a bit? Does it negate the skill factor of the players the top 5 or 6 buy?
Good luck to all our old boys.

I was a tad disappointed with Whitaker. Last season I thought he was ready for the PL, and a player we should have considered buying, but he was good but not exceptional.

It was a good game and should have been 3-2 to sheff utd if not for two Bamford misses.
Great goal from KP to Harmer to Bamford.
I still think we should have picked up KP.

Surely not mot. Bamford misses. No way.

I know Aus, it's hard to believe Bamford missed an open net. It's a first!
Joking aside, I was hoping he would be scoring goals for fun in the champo.
Hopefully wilder continues to build a Leeds squad and buys Piroe and meslier from us!

Nobody will buy Meslier mot.
Window is shut and he can be signed for free in the summer.
