QPR have also conceded 37 (27 more than Leeds) We have the best GD in the division +18 (F 28 A 10) can't ask for more than that. Or would you prefer +2 (F 44 A 42) and be halfway down the league?

If Nketiah and Clarke go back, what happens to the money we spent on them, do we get a refund? i hope so. Players are not bigger than the club, in the past we have seen players leave and it was going to be end of the world at LS11.....WRONG!! Howson, Byram, BFP, Delph and maybe Roofe & Wood are just a few to mention who would love to be back at Leeds right now, Orta will have a list from Bielsa who he wants, a list of carefully selected players we shall not be aware of until they arrive, very similar to Casilla, Ben White, Nketiah etc. nobody knew and not heard of them until they were through the door, and what a jewel young White has proven. Lets not panic like we always seem to do, Bielsa along with Radz has brought belief back to Leeds, lets enjoy the ride even though its like being on the Pepsi Max at times.
I’ll reply more succinctly than others have. Bielsa’s great. Now, eff off you Southern shirt lifter, go and watch Chelsea if you don’t like it. No offence.
Are you having a nice time..... Seriously Eddie was miss hitting his passes whereas bamford is more tidy. Bielsa must have reason and i suspect that is why. Eddie will need to improve before he gets a start.
Eddie played 45minutes last week for the U23s and you could tell he had been out as he was ring rusty and missed at least 3 chances you would have backed him for earlier. He then played a few minutes for the first team and again rusty. Hes 20yo and learning so lets wait and see
Short sighted if Arsenal recall Eddie. His development after a season with Bielsa will be streets ahead of him spending second half of the season elsewhere. But he is just 20, so might just. E too impatient for his own good. Let’s see what happens.
Does anyone know which of Revies team were present at the reunion? I never saw any photos of bigJack.
Leeds United will visit Arsenal in the FA Cup on Monday, January 6. Kick-off is 7.56pm! It will be live on BBC One.
Real interesting read this thread For me it would be a shame if Eddie is recalled, Bielsa has quite rightly forced him to earn his place and he was apparently about to start before his injury because Bamford was firing blanks. So Bielsa must think he is up to speed for the way he wants us to play. He is now coming back and Bamford has started scoring so win win. If we get another forward in, he won't go straight in to the first team because we know Bielsa likes to school them for weeks into the squad and the way we play, so potentially we don't get any benefit from the signing till February / March dependent upon how early or late we sign them in the window. The only thing I would say is it's been difficult to give players like Eddie minutes because it's rare we have the game 'won' early enough to rotate the players, they are invariably coming on to chase the game.
We need to remember he had only been back in training 2 days, will have been worried about his injury fairing up again, don't think he would have played normally, but panic about game time might be setting in.
