Not having someone up top who can hold the ball and bring the rest of our attack into play is where we've fell to bits. Not having that outlet pushed us deep and we concentrated on keeping possession of the ball rather than doing anything meaningful with it.

An able striker with Clarke, Jobe, and Roberts should cause problems for most defenses in the league, but losing Clarke would be a huge blow now that it looks like the club have a striker that can do the things that expected of him.

If we are to sell Clarke, I'd like to see a push for Millar and Stansfield. I'd see those kinds of signings as real proof that the club are looking towards promotion.

It certainly contributed to an extent, but it wasn't the be all and end all of our problems. We coped very well the season prior.
 
Another winger? Defs not short in that area so Clarke could be going or Jewi out on loan again. If Clarke does go would much rather have someone proven like Twine.
 
A Leeds supporting colleague says of him
“He’s very good. Very tricky, Works really hard. Just incredibly small”.
 
i think this is a good signing. I watched him play for Blackpool against us and he was a constant thorn in our side. He seems to have a good pedigree from a number of top tier academies. Hopefully he’s past the injury that seems to have derailed him - but we seem to get lucky with injuries so what could go wrong. 😜

this guy plays on the opposite side to clarke...
..Poveda has played exactly the same number of championship games as Twine but is younger....
 
Hmmmm….there seems to be a bit of an undercurrent of negativity showing on here.
It already seems that Poveda is on a hiding to nothing because he appears to be a replacement for Clarke (or Roberts).
We need to back him.
