CONFIRMED Ehije Ukaki signs from Botev Plovdiv - 3 year contract

I think John White won? Or was that the Saint and Greavsie one?

The Swansea player won, I think. I can’t remember his name but in my head it was Williams, or something.

Edit: bit late

Colin Franks was once described as the fastest man in football

We had JRS last season who beat men 1v1 regularly and created lots of chances. Most people called him lazy and said he didn't defend well enough

I threw up his stats from Fbref at some point last season that showed that JRS was in the top 10% of wingers in the league defensively.

He had a bit of a languid manner about him, but it was massively overstated that he "didn't track back" etc.

Heckingbottom would've got way more out of JRS, I don't think Wilder used him well at all.

It is odd that Wilder committed so much to signing JRS

... and many argue he didn't use Andre Brooks enough and he certainly didn't get the most out of BBD or Cannon.

The more I reflect on last season, the more I arrive to the conclusion that we've made the right decision in taking a different course of direction.
Whether Selles is the right guy, I don't know. But I'm very willing to be open-minded to it.

The reason people say he didn't track back, is because, er......, he didn't track back. You could see him on the halfway line, looking bewildered and waiting for someone to win the ball back and give it him.

This rewriting of last season, where all the good things were down to individual players, but all the shit happenings were Wilder's fault, is getting a bit tedious.

United had a better attacking, and defensive record with him on the pitch. He created chances 1v1 which only Hamer could do. But fans appear to want a run up and downer who'll take no risks in possession. United were mediocre in attack last year, partly because they regularly took off their best ball carrying player after 60 minutes to shut up shop.

Looking back, we seemed unnecessarily functional last season even to the point of shunting our best player out of the way to a less defensively vulnerable area.

I genuinely feel we’ll hand out a few hammerings this season. I must confess I never felt that way last season.

Last season, we lost as many games by three goals as we won: one. By contrast, Leeds and Burnley didn't lose a game by more than a single goal and between them won 15 games by three or more goals (Leeds 9, Burnley 6)

We were the epitome of efficient; arguably at the expense of entertaining and, when it came to it, competitive against our peers.

 

[Slim Man]

Really really like him.

I'm not sure what those who went to York are on about saying he's miles away?

He's got every chance of playing a part this season

Looks like he's played football before
