After the Jansson departure and the rumours about Phillips and Roofe, I was beginning to feel a bit down about the upcoming season, but last night's game was a very good pickup. Of course the opposition were from the 6th tier, but we showed the qualities of us at our best from last season again, which was encouraging. This team is still the best Leeds United team I've ever seen, and is streets ahead of the teams from Warnock to Heckingbottom. We will still be around the top this season. As good? I don't know yet. The opposition were weaker and we made that clear from our domination, something I can't say has always been the case when previous Leeds sides came up against weaker opponents.
I also don't think that the criticism of Bamford was fair. He got two assists, I believe. He linked up well with those around him and showed some good movement.

Apparently Bamford was within hearing distance when it was happening and he acknowledged them with some disdain.
Why are some of our fans persistent in getting on players backs (if true), this is a pre season friendly and the players shouldn't have to have this done.
They probably feel if he'd put away some of the chances he had in the last three or four matches of the season then we wouldn't have missed out on promotion.
In this black and white age of entitlement, where a scapegoat is hanged from every streetlight every night, it's their right to demand he be the next.
Didn't you see the memo in The Sun ? Or was it the Daily Mail ??
Sad, but true ..
Back to football though. We have fans just like all clubs that are pretty clueless and just moan about everyone because their mates do the same. The reasonably fair thing to do, is to give Baford a chance and keep yer trap shut until he proves himself one way or the other.
My take, for what its worth, is that he looked sharper last night and his running style idn't look as awkward as last year when it seemed laboured.
Give the bloke a chance.

Re: York and Guiseley games
Those that moan are not helping their team, encouragement will always get more from a player than criticism.
Getting on a players back only increases pressure.

Re: York and Guiseley games
Obviously a team that hasn't played together before and has new starters and younger players. I think this game will probably be a real test for them but if it all clicks then it will be brilliant to watch. Here' hoping.
