Exactly the reason why we need more competition/bodies in the door to compete with Hirst and Burgess.
Hopefully we get them next week. |  |

Indeed! Hopefully they both pull through. I'm not so confident without Hirst especially. | |

And why we need someone similar in style/quality to rotate with Hirst during games. He looked visibly done last week with half hour left. We don't want him overworked and getting a lengthy injury. |  | | |

He chased down a ball in the second half last weekend on the left wing which QPR knocked out for a throw in and I thought he was going to collapse afterwards. Ran himself in to the ground, quite literally. | |

Especially after the start we've made, we don't need to take unnecessary risks. Rest both, bring in Edmundson and Ladapo.
Last thing we need is them playing and picking up a longer term injury for doing so.
ETA - Removed the phrase 'free hit'; didn't mean it to come across as it did. [Post edited 25 Aug 2023 15:11]

Described them as 'little niggles'
I think they'll probably both make it or else why notify Leeds ahead of the kick off?
Also interesting he said Williams can cover at centre half, and is more like 6ft that 5' 7 | | | |

A nice little reminder from Kieran to Mark Ashton and the board as to why they need to get the deals done next week. |  | | |

I don't think for a second KM would be playing that game.
EDIT: he's merely reiterating the message Ashton game a week or so ago. [Post edited 25 Aug 2023 15:00]

Indeed! HUGE drop off in quality from Hirst and Edmundson hasn't played that much football the last 6 months so that's also a big ask.
Need to get these deals done next week as we start to look a little bit short with 2 or 3 injured |  |

Leeds is not a free hit, we are a club who want to compete in this division. There’s no such thing as a “free-hit”. What a weird attitude to have, we aren’t minnows for christ sake. |  |

Wiki has him as 5' 6", and Transfermarkt as 5' 9" so someone needs to get a tape measure out and sort that  |  |

You have to say Ahadme would do the best job of providing a physical replacement for Hirst. Freddie is not a direct replacement for Hirst imo | |

In what relm is this a free hit?! Ridiculous thing to even suggest.
This is the level we need to be competing at to get out of this league. | |

I hope Edmundson can step back up into the team if Burgess is out, although he's been in and out of the side with injuries himself.
Baggott could be an interesting choice. I remember thinking Burley was mad picking Titus Bramble in 2001, when we had Mowbray, Venus, McGreal, Brown and even John Scales on the books, Bramble, who at that point had only been a bit player and he went on to have an amazing season! |  | | |

I agree. Maybe free hit is the wrong phrase. But better for them to miss this game, if there is any risk at all, than play and cause more issues. If it's minor, as it sounds, they should both be back for Cardiff anyway. [Post edited 25 Aug 2023 15:09]

I think that’s exactly what he’s doing.
Very rarely if ever has he explicitly mentioned players by name when discussing availability in a pre match press conference. Have to assume there’s a reason why now and the players in the two positions we quite obviously need to strengthen.
I think both probably end up playing but a little reminder to MA that an injury in either of those positions leaves us looking much weaker. | | | |

I couldn't disagree more.
Nothing to suggest that KM needs to do this given Ashton went public a week or so ago about us wanting more and KM has said the same.
People reading far far too much into stuff. | |

Just a coincidence then with a week left in the transfer market?
This sort of thing happens with every manager/CEO/Chairman up and down the country. | |

Odd take, given they have literally both said the same thing as each other. | |

This goes on all the time.
Nothing to see here. Let’s not forget KM worked for Poch and Jose, sure he picked up a few “hints and tips” along the way.
Poch threw on a 17 year old up front last weekend to make the exact same point I’m sure to his owners. | | | |

It's not a bad thing, but it happens. | |
