Top performers per position, has Robert Sanchez as the highest ranking keeper in League One season to date.
Loanee roundup.
Clarke - Played all 90 against Cardiff yesterday
Kayal - 15 mins as a substitute vs Birmingham
Knockaert - Played 90 mins and scored vs WBA
Mlakar - Half an hour as a substitute vs Luton
Molumby - Played all 90 vs Blackburn
Walton - Played 90 and clean sheet vs Millwall
Sanders - 20 mins as a substitute vs Shrewsbury
Sanchez - Played 90 but let in 6(!) in a hammering vs Peterborough, including it seems, a couple of howlers
Tilley - Started and played 60 mins vs Fylde
Starting to get a little worried about Sanchez. Clearly he is a very talented young GK ...... but - he started like a house on fire at Forest Green last season, but within a few weeks the fans, who'd been delighted with him at first, were calling for him to be dropped. I wonder if the same thing is happening again, or was this a one-off (he has, I believe, done pretty well up until yesterday).
The impression I got from the reactions at Forest Green was that he sometimes thought he could get to something he really couldn't - possibly over-confident? No idea if his is actually the case - it would seem to fit the pattern though (again, assuming that yesterday wasn't a one-off lapse).I wonder if it’s the case that he has a lot of talent but is prone to catastrophic lapses in concentration that result in him giving up penalties and howlers.
Sounds like Ben White had another great game for Leeds yesterday! A bit worried reading one particular tweet though, some bloke said "If it's true we can get him for £10m we should bite their hand off!" or something like that. I really there isn't a price on his head, I want to see him play for us as he appears to be the real deal.
Do a search on twitter for "Ben White #lufc" and have a read of fans views and various articles about him.
One of the reasons that the deal took so long to complete was Leeds wanted an option to buy which we refused. If we decided to sell it will be entirely on our terms.
Molumbey gets a start for 'Wall (against QPR, for whom Mlaker is on the bench). Hemed and Knocky both getting starts in The Championship, as is Walton.
The Brighton derby at Elland Road finished White 1 Clarke 1.
I was there and Molumbey had a very solid game today, he didn't really put a foot wrong. Strong on the ball and looks like he could be a leader in the making. I was quite impressed.
