I Was Just Looking At The Leeds Squad

Mon Sep 10, 2012 3:53 pm

I was just looking at the Leeds squad, thinking "blimey, is that it?"

See for yourself:

I know I'm at risk of eating my words by 5 o'clock on Saturday, but that squad doesn't look like it can cope with ours - providing we don't have many injuries after the internationals.

it shouldnt but they will be up for this with warnock in charge and in our face a lot more than wolves but our quality is far superior to theyres if we play like we did against wolves we wont have a problem

In terms of numbers, they're similar to us. Plenty in midfield and up front, but low in terms of defenders.

Then again, we have a lot more quality.

It'll be nice to see Diouf again. :twisted:

Predicting a 3-1 win myself.

Aye and he's quality on his day, but I don't think he'll make that much of a difference and it's their defence that I think seriously needs improving. I know our defence has taken some criticism, including from me, but our midfield and attack are far too strong for Leeds, I reckon.

Like I mentioned earlier Nedd, I hope your prediction is better than your Bristol one. ;) :D

They have some quality players in Kenny, Peltier, Varney, Norris, Nunez, Becchio and Rossco, while the Sewer Rat can still cause problems.
But we have more quality than them in Marshall, Turner, Whitts, Gunnar, Kimbo, Mutch, Noone, Smith, Maynard and maybe Bellamy. Plus we have the likes of Mason, Kiss Cowie, Conway etc who can change the game from the bench.


I just hope they don't sign Jenas, fantastic player and just shows how the Championship is improving :ayatollah:

Trust me, neighbour, we are going to batter them. The only way things are going to go Pete Tong, is if we are disrupted by lots of injuries after the internationals.

I'm rarely this confident and I got it wrong against Brizzle, but we are a vastly different side from then, both in terms of players and team spirit.

Off to Canton on Saturday for a change of scenery and hoping the weather cheers up.

Don't worry about the weather though, it never rains in the pubs! :D

It does in The Cornwall's smoking section, but that's a clue that they should give up.

Tick tock, Leeds.

Saturday's coming.

Will be a tough game on Saturday and it will be a good test of character for this side.

Leeds will be up for this and want to get one over on us.

In terms of players? You aren't very clear with your question.

Look at my original post with the squad details.

Re: I Was Just Looking At The Leeds Squad

Tue Sep 11, 2012 11:00 am

Not a great level of depth, but on a par with the depth we had last year & we did rather well.

Plus, Warnock has stated that he intends to loan a few players.

Underestimate them at your peril.
