In terms of League games it this. Marseille away as well.

My post wasn’t to do with managerial succession planning. I agree with what you say there. It was referring to what it says about our ambition in terms of player targets this summer. The squad is at a crossroads.

I meant from an ambition point of view but accept I could be being negative. If we want to compete for Europe again, we need at least 3 players ready to walk into our first XI, as well as a couple more to bolster the squad. I’m guessing this is what RDZ has asked for but TB can’t guarantee...

I’m in the ‘worried about what this means for the summer transfer plans’ camp.

I think the waning in popularity is probably more related to these meet him events rather than his general status as Albion legend isn’t it? Anyone who is Sussex-based and grew up with Ward as a hero has probably already met him given the amount of appearances he’s made at REMF nights and other...

I really hope this is the club’s plan in the summer. If we can make 5 good quality signings in the positions you’ve mentioned, we could have a good crack at Europe again.

Baleba’s one-footedness is something I hoped he would’ve improved on by now. His physical profile is very good, but he is poor on his right side - the biggest issue is his body shape and the angles he creates when he’s receiving the ball. To be a top player in that position you need to be able...

If you look at the respective XIs, there’s probably a couple of players from Norwich’s side who’d get into the Leeds team. Then Wagner has given them no chance with the way he set the team up.

Is it the occasion or are Leeds just better in every department, including tactically?

For all the Caicedo didn’t play well talk I’ve heard, I have to say there was a huge Caicedo shaped hole in our midfield, as there has been nearly all season. Last night, like many other games this year, we seriously lacked pace, power and proper defensive cover in transition. I thought the job...

Norwich have been nothing short of woeful tactically. Leeds have played through their non-existent press with ease.

I agree he is probably exhausted. He’s had to play far too many minutes for the stage of his development; that’s a combination of recruitment failure and terrible injury luck. Fair enough going into the season with him as back-up winger to Solly and Mitoma, but in January we really needed...

Like Cucarella (prick that he is) did very well tonight. The whole build-up structure changes with that dynamic. Barco will need to be very good positionally to make it work.

Some excellent passes tonight and good general play but I’m really not sure what position we should play him in. He’s not quite quick enough to be a winger and he’s still a little bit suspect defensively as a full back. From tonight, it seems like he needs to be in a position where he’s on the...

Adingra should not be in a starting XI if we have any intention of pushing for Europe again. Probably unpopular on here but I am not convinced by him. Needs a year as an impact player from the bench.

I’ve only ever met arrogant wankers with them. The only side where I’ve not met a single arrogant/dick head fan is Man City. Hope they win the league because you don’t notice it down here. If Arsenal win, however, it’ll bring all the plastic rats out the woodwork.

Yep. For this alone, absolute legend. No one neutered Zaha like him. Proper Brighton is Joel, seen him out and about in the city loads of times with his partner. Top bloke.

But why put him on the bench if you clearly have no intention of playing him?! It’s just bizarre!

Yes but my point still stands. If he’s our starting CB then that is not good news. Back up for both positions is what he should be.

If Igor is in our first XI next year, something will have gone seriously wrong. Does a job here and there but that should be it for him.
