I don’t rate Kiffin as a coach at all. But he was handcuffed to an awful QB situation with the Raiders.

I am no Kiffin fan - don’t understand why teams keep throwing money at him. But I stopped reading Al’s letter after I read this.

“I do realize that you did not want us to draft JaMarcus Russell. He is a great player. Get over it and coach this team on the field”

I don’t think it will be enough. West Ham and Forest are waking up. Think we need 40+.

Hoping Bournemouth get dragged down.

His work rate is first class but he’s just gets run over and past. He’s a Championship player at best.

Yeah wanting to offload him does rather require someone to want him …

But that’s been his role and I think we can agree he has no role in a 3-5-2.

Really speaks to the lack of a sound tactical plan and the failure to build the squad around that plan in the offseason.

3-5-2 is working. Adjust the squad in Jan.

We need to offload Harrison if we can in Jan whatever!

Aaronson has been playing wide right. All those 5 are predominantly wide attacking players in this squad.

If 3-5-2 is going to be a regular thing we need to offload a couple in Jan and bring in another CB, LWB and central midfielder.
December 3, 2025 at 10:32 PM
Aaronson, Harrison, Okafor, James, Gnonto.
December 3, 2025 at 10:27 PM
Not sure having a squad with 5 wingers in it screams of the plan being 3-5-2!
December 3, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Cmon Leeds. Can’t give this away!

Damn.

My Dad once recorded England v Italy in the Euros. 1980 ish. On VHS. He was watching me play a game somewhere.

We got home and sat down to watch and my mum walked in. “I won’t tell you the score, but there are no goals …”

She died recently - she was lucky it wasn’t on that evening in 1980.
