Ah, thank fuck. New football season at last. I hope everybody is excited as I am.
Leeds had a decent preseason, despite a fairly pointless trek to Slovakia and being buried at Bury (ahem) we bounced back to thrash Hartlepool and Wolves (including this
strike by the ever mercurial Max Gradel). I know preseason doesn't count for much but we've also made some decent, if inexpensive, acquisitions and the new team has both width and pace, something we were usually lacking in League One. The defence is still a little bit shaky despite having been replaced entirely but that's sort of becoming a Leeds tradition. I don't think we'll go down and realistically I can see us finishing around the top of the bottom half of the table, which would be a decent outcome for any newly promoted side.
Out - Beckford, Ankergren, Kandol, Marques.
In - Paynter, Sam, Collins, Bruce, Connolly, Schmeichal, Bessone, Watt (season long loan from Arsenal), Clayton (month long loan from Man City).
First game of the season is today at 5.15pm against Derby County. Lots of links to watch the game online will appear
here later in the day. Should be entertaining!
