Wonder what the visitors thought of us on Sunday, opinions changed on Jack and Ollie ? I agree. I wasn't saying he shouldn't. To be fair to @Rino8he doesn't seem like the sort of Leeds fan that makes me dislike them. And I know all fans have them, we have our fair share of idiots as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with a hat trick from Watkins as far as results go but he was always a bit hit and miss at Brentford. He scored a lot that's true but Brentford had a terrible early and late part of the season, both of which Watkins played his part in. I think hes plenty good enough for the league but not to the level of Jack. Jack's the best player I have seen at the Villa, I have watched them since the late 80's. Ollie, his attitude is as important as his ability, 1st class. After the L'pool game he was pissed he missed the one on one. Like watching Leeds, your ruffling feathers and asking questions of the established tier in the Premier league. Looks like we are both going to have good seasons, reckon we will be very close in the league.... But not 1st and 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also lucky it's a weak league this season making things more comfortable for them in their first season back. They've got Fulham and Albion that are definitely going down. There's only one place to play for! West Ham in disarray, Bruce at Newcastle, Burnley looking as bad as they have in five years. The pressure is non-existant.

Popular Post GingerCollins29 Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Bielsa has done a superb job. No-one can deny that. He's taken a small club from the depths of the EFL, which they have been in for most of their history, to the premier league in 2 seasons. With a group of bang average players. Now, in the prem, they are giving it 'a good go' and we should respect them for that. I hope they stay up because for a small club like leeds to stay up in their first season would be a miracle. Plus they've spent barely anything this year, putting faith in the team that got them promoted 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Seeing many Leeds fans change their tune about Grealish. Weird! Got to say as well, Philips for them is potentially world class - even if I don't think Southgate uses him properly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 RB Leipzig have sent a complaint to FIFA over Augustin who has since joined Nantes on a free transfer.

I think it’s out of order for a club to weasel out of an obligated transfer just because the planned end date of the season changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford were pretty entertaining in their first few years up. Generally boring promotions to me are likes of Reading and Hull coming up, bland teams who add little to the league and go back down straight away. Ask a few fans of other teams and they all have Smethwick in that category aswell. Fulham going up ahead of Brentford was also disappointing although perhaps we wouldn't have signed Watkins in the end so worked out o.k for us.

I think Watford have generally been a quite entertaining club to have there. I can't really think of boring clubs tbh. In fact of all the clubs in the league or those that come and go, I probably find Arsenal and spurs the most boring in the sense they never achieve anything and always hang around. A bit like we did post 96 to 2016. But at least Arsenal have played some nice football now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Graham Taylor is enough reason to put Watford in the good guys category. Always like their kit aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 They allow more shots against them than anyone else and their ridiculous shots to goals ratio was never going to last.

They've played some tough teams and looked decent - will be mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Sheffield United and Fulham are the only teams they've managed to beat, and even those games were close. I think it's too early to rule them out of being in a relegation battle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
