Got to keep Seb Bornauw, he's definitely good enough for the EPL and has a great pre season.

Agreed.
Interesting, he was the only Leeds player who played the whole match.

Well, his value has increased that for sure. Midfield.

He's been pretty good in all the games he played pre-season, and he's got a habit of getting on to those Amps long throws (which also look more threatening so far) .

I thought Gnonto was pretty good tonight, and Okafor pretty decent given it's his first run out (and that he never quite looks fit to me) .



Wilson and Stach definitely not hit their straps yet, though once they do (and they will) , they're going to be formidable imo.

Another good injury-free workout, but it would still have been nice to get the win, especially against them. The player who really impressed me tonight was Willy.

Some player ratings from Leeds Live.

Jimmy Trafford 9 (a bit generous imo) .
Gnonto 8.
DJ 8.
Okafor 8.
BA 7.
All of our defenders 6 or less, except Rodon.

Wilson 5.
DCL 4.
And Nmecha 2 (a bit harsh, but still) .

So, perhaps we could do with signing an additional striker please.

Disagree with your "all defenders 6 or less, except Rodon" statement, Baz. I thought Mahremovic was at least a 7 too, with some great saving tackles and good positional awareness.

Also, you rate Gnonto as 8, and I agree. He was playing as a stand-in RWB, and was surprisingly good. Okafor and BA, I also agree, I think both have come back from WC26 with a point to prove.

Yep, Tarek a 7, JR.. Fair enough.
