yeah gtf in! nice bullet header equaliser from Sarr from a perfect Sorba free kick, he can be so dangerous at both ends of the pitch! Terrible game so far but football is back baby!

3 points for Wimbledon and a goal for the wonderful Assal, plus a late Bolton equaliser against the scum, a good day

you never mentioned that your 21 year old left-back is no less the grandson of Alec Guinness

Leeds have spent so much time doing penny-pinching haggling over the price of O'Brien that apparently Burnley and Palace are coming in with better offers now. When you know a player is good always refuse derisory first offers and wait for the bidding war to start. Although allegedly he doesn't want to go to Burnley for some reason.

oh man I'm so buzzing O'Brien might be going to Palace rather than Leeds. Apparently Bielsa is fucking fuming that they offered a derisory first bid, because he's been watching him a long time and has an agreement with the club that his targets must be sorted in a timely fashion with no fucking about, like before the season starts.

So we couldn't muster a full bench on Saturday and our supposed first choice striker had an absolute mare, including missing a penalty, so he's decided a contract he signed 2 weeks ago isn't going to work for him after all because of family commitments and he's left.

I wish some of our players would do the same

Your keeper's effort on Saturday was in a different class for their first goal.

Schofield is only starting because his amazing replacement (a freebie who got released by MK dons) has got the Rona. Some say he's the worst Town keeper they've ever seen. I say he's about the 2nd or 3rd worst.

the lino missing the ball crossing the line before the wonder-blunder minutes after we had a perfectly good goal ruled out was how I saw it at the time on the stream. Haven't looked at any replays because it doesn't make any difference on how shit Scofield is and how much we deserved to lose.

Yeah to be fair his standing foot looks nearly a yard over the line so how it never got spotted was dreadful. The hoof back to him was appalling though as they said on the EFL show about the second goal 'now we see why he was trying so hard to prevent the corner'.
