We need more players, of course.

Pointless how? If he improves a squad that's challenging for promotion then that's a good thing, yes? Travis - good, but injured (soon back) Tronstad - good, but injured (6+ weeks?) Bucko - ok, has had a few injuries in the past Forshaw - not good, legs have gone JRC - varies a lot, not a sitting midfielder

I hope Eustace is letting Waggott and Gestede know what he wants, and telling them to make things happen. We need bodies in yesterday.

They're live now, but you're probably right. I think the EFL did us one on that one with the relegation clause having to be inserted, and I'm sure O'Brien sees that as well. McGuire on the other hand has more of a right to be pissed off. Unfortunate that O'Brien wasn't registered by Forest...

Could really need him right now, but that one will either not happen or drag out because of his wages. I'm sure we've made a number of enquiries that we haven't followed up on.

Have you heard something?

Aasgard is not what we need at this point in time. He's similar to what we have, we need pace/physicality and a striker that can score goals. Oh, and a LB and a CM.

ACD poor once again when he starts. Perhaps keep him as an impact sub? Squad is wearing thinnnn. Nobody was lined up once the window opened - it's borderline criminal. Staff guilty of negligence. Anyone still wonder why John Park left? Forshaw's legs have gone, he can hardly move out there..

He'll give us another outlet on the counter. Asante is the sort of player we face once in a while and I wonder why his goal-scoring record isn't better. His top level is very very good, but obviously there's some issues with consistency there. Left forward/striker - I think he'd be a useful addition to the squad. Are people realistically expecting better? Perhaps a talented PL youngster but I can't see us signing anyone with a better pedigree on a permanent transfer.

Hedges looks short on confidence, that pass to Beck in the first was atrocious. Both him and Dolan are in the team because they work hard but we can find better.

Think it was on

Thank you Callum! And well done to Batth for some great defending and to Eustace for making adjustments. Get in!

Sub 'em all off

Get Bucko and Cantwell on the ball. Settle down and dominate, shouldn't be too difficult.

Paid £10 for this 😄

Is it on RoversTV?

Who's broadcasting it?

They'll offer more wages than us as well. No chance. We need a bit of luck in our recruitment when we're shopping in the bargain basement.

Dolan will be on pennies so we won't replaced by anything other than a loan player.

Lacks range of passing and can't finish either, but is a decent backup and does well when he has time on the ball. Doesn't fit too well in our current system imho.

Would think Stoke will want to test him at L1, like we're doing with Markanday.

The problem with Bucko and JRC are they are more prone to making mistakes and do not cover/protect our defenders in the same way that Travis and Tronstad do. Our squad might be marginally stronger on Feb 3, but I'm disappointed so far as we have only replaced like for like so far, not added anything - and certainly not improved.

https://motleedsnews.com/comment/leeds-united-look-set-to-make-patrick-bamford-mistake-as-exit-stance-shared/ Anyone think Bamford is worth £30k/w?

Yeah. But we also know there are snowball effects and one deal can trigger a series of consecutive deals. Things change quickly. But worrying that we haven't announced a new chief scout yet, and that this is only the second transfer window to the men in charge at the moment - a vital transfer window too.

Eustace wouldn't accept Forshaw unless he's promised funds for an attacking player. The big question is if we're able to attract a goalscorer within our budget. It's not easy and I have my doubts...
