We will soon see. Clarke is 24 in November and I’m not sure where the improvement will suddenly come in his game at that age to elevate him to Premier League level. It’s one thing having a good night against an 18 year old stand in right back but a different gig altogether playing against elite and international full backs. Good luck to the lad.

Beware the highlights reel ! There’s one doing the rounds of Joel Piroe where he looks like a potential Man City signing

. I’ll judge the lad when he’s in a white shirt. Hard to tell from the vid if he’s got out and out pace, he looks to have a similar style of ball movement to Doku at City. That may not be a bad thing, he will be getting the ball into feet at Leeds rather than over the top or slid in behind.

I'm not so sure now. I think they look the best bet to stay up out of the 3 promoted teams

so naive defending wise. they will concede 80 odd goals this season

max Aaron's resurfaced. ....

Any news on the Hungarian lad Trebor told us about earlier this week?
He could be a good signing.
Still think we lack experience when you consider we have Meslier as a vice captain.

Can't see it. not after the way he dumped us at the last min last year

Is it right that there`s no Bamford in the squad for tonight?

you'll be shocked to know he's injured. hamstring tear

If that bench doesn’t say to the owners pull your finger out in the transfer market nothing will….

some good signs in attack. cutting them to bits. meslier especially, and bogle worry me though

dominated from first to last. the leeds of last year. solid in defence, flair going forward. add 3/4 and we'll be right up there

Really solid performance. Rodon, Struijk, Ampadu and Joseph - top drawer. Aaronson lost the ball more times than he'd like, but was superb off the ball.

Spurs media also reporting we're close to signing Manor Solomon from Spurs on loan. If he can stay fit, that's a top signing, prem quality player.

Yeah very classy performance that. Gnonto was brilliant drifting in at 10. Aaronson very good too as were Joseph and the midfield. DJ finish and flick for the first goal were sublime.

Solomon very good player and can play right across the line. Has fitness issues though but gives us depth. We had 4 wingers last year so this is same again. Wonder if Gnonto will go to 10 or we will still look to bring an out n out 10

That’s a really good result in the context of what’s been happening. Only one change, but as soon as you get Poirot out of the way we look a more balanced team. Aaronson is a bit lightweight on the ball but his work ethic and running in behind defences make it a no brainer when it’s a straight choice between him and Piroe for a starting spot. Dan James once again showed there’s no substitute for pace in a team. Defenders can’t mark space, and as soon as Joseph played that lovely ball into space there was only one outcome with someone as fast as James. Credit to Joseph, despite not scoring I think he still works unselfishly and the goals will come. All round good effort from the lads last night.

I said a bit back gnonto could play 10. he was supurb last night

Me too Tad.
He`s more a 10 than an out and out winger for me.
Agree about Aaronssen and was thinking how powderpuff he is getting bullied every .time and then he goes and grabs a goal.
If I were Farke I`d stop picking Bamford and hope he asks to leave.
Trouble is nobody would buy him.
For me he can go for free to save on his salary.

He's passed his medical, apparently, but the clubs are still negotiating over the finances of the deal. The transfer is uncertain

This Solomon signing taking a bit of time… thought he’d be announced by now

I thought he must have failed his medical but reports are it's announced today

A few financials to sort by looks of it. Need to get a move on, 5 days left, 3 more needed imo

Max Aarons is being heavily linked with Leeds again

Yes confirmed by Graham Smyth. Interesting. I’ve seen Billing linked heavily too

Think he gets linked as many times as Ryan Kent.

apparently we bid £13m for hamer at sheff utd but it was turned down
