'I have a thing for angry blondes' and 'Asking for a friend' needs to be revised.....either your 'friend' needs to take the bull by the horn or your libido needs to follow it's own impulse.

Is he sat next to Nigel Clough?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

When was the last time we brought 3 players in at the same time?

 

[loyalblade95]

When was the last time we brought 3 players in at the same time?

Don't think it was announced as a triple signing (in one announcement), but I think we brought John Fleck, Jake Wright and Jack O'Connell on the same day in 2016, just announced them at different times.

 

[Drachblade]

Bogle, Lowe and Ampadu I think?

And all on the pitch today at Bellend Road.

Yep and all 3 we've upgraded/upgrading, Harrison Burrows from Max Lowe is just the best Upgrade I can think of currently then again the upgrade from dogshit to JOC wasn't half bad either

Bogle comfortably gets in our side.
Right now, Ampadu too. But not when Souza's back.
Burrows easily an upgrade on Lowe.

Remember when we tried Ampadu in our side a few years back?

Ampadu would have fitted right in last season

 

[Stretch]

I wouldn't take Ampadu over Souza or Peck.

Where Leeds do put us to shame slightly is in their attacking midfield options. Solomon, James, Gnonto and Ramazani.

That's 4 quality players to rotate at this level and I would take any of them. At the same time, I imagine Leeds would crawl over broken glass to get Hamer from us.

We're a left winger and a striker away from being a complete match for their attacking 4. Once BBD and Cannon come in (added with O'Hare, Hamer, Brooks and JRS) I'd say there's very little between both sides.
Then it comes down to defensively, and for that I'd say we completely put them to shame.

I think that their attacking mids are a bit more consistent than ours, at the moment. But I agree that once we strengthen it will be a close run thing.

And yes defensively, we are superior overall.

Didn’t work did it, although he liked to point a lot. Mentored by Olly N.

You might be able to make an argument player-for-player, but you only have to watch Leeds to see their attack is night & day from ours.
We have our strengths, but the relentless nature in which they attack and some of the one touch football to open up a packed defence is on a different level.
They attack in numbers. We're far more conservative and tend to jab away at teams.

A combined XI:

...................Cooper
Bogle....Strujik...Anel...Burrows
...........Tanaka....Souza
...James.....Hamer....Gnotto
.....................Piroe

I'd take both Gilchrist and Seriki over Bogle every day of the week. I'm not a huge Bogle fan

Whatever the strengths and weaknesses of each side
I look at them and don't see one premier league quality player in their squad

Dont know what that says about us

That’s why young players go out on loan. They’re not ready just need breaking in and learning how to cope with playing footy in a stadium full of baying fans. Remember starting your first job, knowsnowt, doesnowt without being told/shown but eventually you got it right and became competent.

 

[b1ade4life]

Do they do family law??

I think Gnotto is probably Premier League. Ampadu is taking his time but developing into a quality holding midfielder. James has enough pace to skill on the bench somewhere.

Yeah I don't see it. I know prem clubs looked at gnoto but he's very one dimensional and needs to be indulged
Hasn't really set the championship alight since teams sussed him out
Ampadu no chance, James must have improved a lot

I think there's quite a few that could comfortably play PL football surrounded by better players.

Cooper, Strujik, Anel, Souza, Hamer, Gnotto...
It's when they're next to players that are really struggling that it pulls their performances down.

I think you could stick any of the above into Fulham, Brentford, Bournemouth etc. and they wouldn't stand out for the wrong reasons.
