Happy with the point pre game not so much post game.
Today was a day where the strategy of not buying a striker was laid bare.
On another day we were home with 3 points after 40 mins.
Also I think Danny got subs wrong today.
Brighton couldn't have made it any clearer; they were growing back into the game 2nd half, yet we held off too much making changes this week.
Win some.
Draw some.
Lose some.
But I felt we should have won that.

Clearly, I disagree, Chris, as my post below was submitted before yours. But I do love your posts and respect your opinion.
What subs would you have done then? I thought Okafor was done and had to come off. I thought Stach looked knackered too. I would have gone Wilson for Stach, and either Bagoya, James, or Nmecha for Okafor.
I like that he was at least proactive. He made changes well before they equalised. They might not have worked, but he saw what was happening and tried to react. Brighton are a good team, and sometimes you can't counteract the momentum?

100% agree, Chris.
Give me a quality £45 million striker over a £45 million keeper.
Also, not sure how much we will see our new signing, left winger Bahoya, on the pitch.
But, still, a point at Brighton is solid.

I'm beginning to form an impression, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Baz has a problem with James Trafford and his fee.
Villa bought Jackson and Abraham for silly money, and they are both very poor.
Who should we have signed, Baz, and were you happy with Perri in sticks?

I'm with you, Staffs. I think Trafford is the best £40m we have ever and will ever spend. A quality goalie far transcends anything a cf could do. I reckon Trafford has already gained us massive points. Could have lost all three of those games with a numpty like Darlow (MU reserve keeper) in goal.

Perri? .lol nah, of course not.
But Darlow was fine, never let Leeds down. Leeds should have done more to keep him.
And, there are plenty of other reasonable priced, dependable gks out there.
I would much rather we spent £45 million to £50 million on an exciting striker.
I miss an exciting Leeds team. It needs a Yebaoh, Viduka, Charles, Clarke type, etc. More excitement, more goals scored please!

I probably didn't articulate my point well enough, Matt. I just felt the timing was a little longer than I would have preferred, as Brighton started to come into it towards the end of the 1st half.
Also, I may have tried Sean, due to the hold they had in midfield in the 2nd half. I wouldn't have played Baracus, as we know there's nothing really happening there other than aimless running.
I would have tried Bahoya, he's playing in the Bundesliga, he's fit, he's looking to make an impression from the off.
But I do concede Danny has changed for the better in respect of his substitution timings.
Still happy with our start, we are a tough nut to crack nowadays, it seems.

Matt,
So, of the matches Darlow played last season.. Feel free to itemise the matches of goals he should not have conceded!

Baz you are a proper nugget.
Trying to pretend Darlow is fit to lace Traffords boots. Pointless trying to rationalise with you mate.
Go back to you your happy haze with Claudia Shiffer, Cameron Diaz and a box of tissues.

I love the cereal Golden Nuggets, Matt. Remember them? Maybe you are too young to know them.
Come on, Matt, you can do better.
Of course JT is better than KD. He blooming well should be costing £45 million pounds more.
The point is, I would prefer KD and a Mark Viduka type up front in preference to just blooming James Trafford.

Baz, mate, he made too many silly mistakes, and you will see that when he plays for the other club; he was just as bad for his country. He did make some good stops, but our keeper is top class, and you need that when you are building from the back. I do agree we also need a striker.

Whitey, the thing is, no one, including Matt, can list any goals that Darlow should not have conceded last season.
Anyways, it is what it is.

Which £45m striker do you want? Woltermarde - whoops that didn't work out so well - pardo Fernandez - really? Delap £50m. You know what. I would rather wait for our utterly useless pathetic out of his depth underwood turn up what he can.
Check back in your posts you will find out that these are two of the worst windows in our history and Underwood is the worst dof in history. You might want to say sorry to him by the way, because he is well on the way to becoming an unseen Leeds legend.

Matty.. nope, I rated this window a pretty good 8/10. Not sure about Underwood being a legend. Steady fella. ?
