Ulfotto

His decision to leave is one of the weirdest I can remember. He would have definitely been part of the first team here and would have got opportunities to play and I’m sure if he performed well he would have stayed in the team.

George Long that is all

I think we are in the same page but there are some exaggerated statements here. So far on this thread Fisher has been said to be A combination of Drury and Huckerby Better than Jack Stacey As good as Ian Culverhouse in his prime Better than Adam Drury Better Than Aaron’s, Lewis and Mumba(?) A better left back than Doyle. Its 3 games.

Lots of hyperbole in this thread it’s a handful of games. Yes he’s looked good. And like he’s improved from last year but at times last year he looked incredible lightweight. Still think if I were an opposition manager I would definitely target our right back and right centre back as the area to attack. Most of Leeds attacks particularly in the first half came down the left. I appreciate everyone wants to get behind the Thorup regime but to me apart from Doyle the main stays of the team are still the players left over from last year I.e Gunn, Duffy, Sargent, Sainz, Nunez and Kenny. Can I also make another point that last summer transfer window where we secured Sainz, Fisher, Duffy, Barnes and Stacey is looking better and better each day.

Webber basically made Farke a saint by sacking him when he did and when things got no better destroyed his own reputation.

Agreed it’s the reason I was disappointed about the Barnes injury update as I think he would genuinely improve our play.

Just thought maybe we gave Leeds too much respect. Looking at there lineup some credit must go to Farke lots of average players in that Leeds team Firpo, Joseph, Rothwell. Only really Gnonto looked a step ahead quality wise. They looked a shadow of the team of last year with Rutter, Summerville, Gray, Ampadu, James and Gruev missing. As for us i thought Crnac stepped up a bit but we are still 100% reliant on Sargent and Sainz I would worry if we lost either to a long term injury. Although I understand it if that match was last season it would be deemed a lucky performance whereas this season with Thorup it will be framed as anything but.

Good result. If anything I think we are closer to them in terms of quality than we were last season.

Agreed I mean it’s hardly the Leeds of last season Gnonto apart they are big standard championship level.

If you ask me Leeds are missing a trick attacking mainly down our left there right. I would definitely be probing the Duffy Fisher axis.

Hot take is that this won’t stay 1-0 nil.

How Sainz did’nt get booked early in the half I’ll never know.

Can I also make the point if Sargent gets injured who on earth is playing up front.

I actually think this a big blow. Was thinking that Barnes return would have really bolstered us for the following reasons. No one so far has really nailed down the no 10 role. How often do we successfully pass out from the back but then lose possession in attacking midfield. Barnes is a master with his back to goal and would be a great pivot to play in Sargent and Sainz. At the moment we have no one doing this successfully. He would also definitely improve our attacking and defending of set pieces.

What’s more depressing it’s not like last year when no offence it was Luton who were essentially happy to be tourists. Sheffield United who were broke and a Burnley. This year you have Leicester and Southampton who are traditional mid table premier league teams and Ipswich who are riding a wave. All three have spent decent money.
