Post transfer window league prediction update. Add Brentford also to the group below.

I still think Leeds finishes 16th... just had to think about it longer than before. I think we will start scoring once new players bed in. Need Gnonto to shine too.

I'm going to post my pre-transfer window league prediction so I can see how accurate I was at the end of the season (I was spot on last season!):

Leeds will finish 16th

I think Wolves, Burnley, Sunderland, West Ham and Palace will all struggle.

(I'll may modify this based on the transfer window)

Had a chat with Jermaine Beckford about Lukas Nmecha, who has found himself below Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the pecking order at Leeds United.

He thinks there is more to come from the Germany-capped forward. #lufc

For this week's Inside Elland Road newsletter I spoke to three-time national sprint champion Rolf Fongué about his transformation of Noah Okafor and what he believes is possible.

Yes! It won't load past 75%

Josey Back up North 🦚🥂 @joseybackupnorth.bsky.social · 11h

I agree. I think 8th.

Yeah I don't think it has been great. Shilen has to trust them I guess because he isn't a football guy so won't know.

Yeah it is a gamble isn't it. We've bought mostly players with injury records because they are way cheaper than others! But you need a really good medical team to be able to manage them.

Josey Back up North 🦚🥂 @joseybackupnorth.bsky.social · 12h

Also need a bit more speed and dynamism. I get frustrated watching the team not passing forwards or having the right speed of thought. I think maybe it is a creator you are missing, for strikers to link with? Maja used to be superb, but yeah his inability to stay fit is massive.

Oh right! Wow. I think West Brom need to decide what style of football they want to play, because the constant flip flopping will get you nowhere tbh. Watching you at the moment, combined with the players they brought in, I'm still not clear.

Really hope Mason can crack it.

How come you've been looking into Skoobs?

Josey Back up North 🦚🥂 @joseybackupnorth.bsky.social · 12h

Yes definitely. Ambitious guy. He managed us for 2 or 3 games after Jessie Marsch and was a stabilising force. Seems like a decent guy too.

Massive into futsal, so suspect his style is fairly attack minded.

International break is crap. No proper football and far less Squareball podcasts 😥

Josey Back up North 🦚🥂 @joseybackupnorth.bsky.social · 1d

I think you nailed it

Totally get you both. Their hot takes are bollocks most of the time and they definitely don't give Farke the respect he deserves, although they were very nice about his press conferences in this pod.

I know we all think #lufc should be winning at Burnley on Saturday but even last season we didn’t score a single goal against them (I know Joseph missed a sitter). So I’m just saying it won’t be easy. Although on balance our attack has improved and their defence is weaker imho.

🟡🔵 His first-team pathway might be blocked right now, but Leeds know Joel Piroe will be needed over the season, with a January sale looking unlikely at the current time.

Dutchman's situation could be reviewed in the summer, however ⏬
