Edwards, Fletcher and Berahino aside, that's got to be pretty much the starting XI for Leeds: still need 2, ideally 3 players in before the window shuts if we're going to challenge for promotion.

well ropey at the back so far
Etebo played 2 great balls forward but our forwards not alert
Berahinho our only chance so far- decent save

Think we’ve looked decent so far, settled in defensively after almost getting caught a few times early on.
Etebo is an absolute Rolls-Royce of a player based on what I’ve seen of him so far for Nigeria and Stoke.

Fletcher looks like someone who should have retired at the end of last season: not seen a player look so old and off the pace since Tony Dorigo and his zimmer frame doddered around the Brit.

Sounds like we've been a total disaster?
I've not seen any of it but from what others are saying it's been poor.
Significant money needs to be spent in the next 5-6 days for us to compete for the league.

Diouf was atrocious and that miss up there with Keith Scott v Notts County. How he missed that is beyond words. McClean MOM

Played well in short spells but not an insparational performance. Defence were asleep for St. Pauli's second goal from a short corner and Diouf missed a sitter in the second half. McClean was our best attacking player. The players look fitter than last season, even Charlie Adam didn't look like too much of a fat bastard and was a vast improvement on Darren Fletcher. A good workout for the players but that performance doesn't give me a great deal of confidence for the start of the season.

Stand by what I said for the first half, but absolutely no positives from the second half; very, very poor.
Just under 2 weeks to sign (at least) 3 players or we can write any promotion push off this season.

We need a holding midfielder...so much space there today and a CB but we have been chasing one so expect that to be resolved.
Don't agree with the promotion push comment as don't think is a very good league at all
