Predictions for the coming season.

So we are just a few days away from Brian McDermott's first full season in charge of Leeds United and I think we are all pretty excited about getting the season started and about seeing what McDermott can do for us.

I think all Leeds fans had hoped that GFH Capital would back McDermott big time so we could have signed six or seven quality players, but we have again been disappointed with regards to transfers, in other areas they have done very good things for the club, getting rid of Bates and his buddies and closing Yorkshire Radio, a station that constantly lost money.

But back to the transfers, McDermott managed to get highly rated Crewe midfielder Luke Murphy to join Leeds despite loads of interest from other good teams, Luke was our first £1M signing since we picked up Richard Cresswell in 2005, and he also got Matt Smith to join, his name might ring a bell for Liverpool and Everton fans after he scored goals against both in last seasons FA Cup. His last signing was his former Reading player Noel Hunt, a guy who always gives 100% and then some. He also got rid of Warnock's biggest mistake, Steve Morison - the worst signing in recent Leeds history. So he's has done well in the market with the limitations that were set up for him I think.

Pre-season was hard to judge much from but I feel confident that we will have a better season then last year (not saying much to be honest), and with a good signing or two my prediction might even change to us going into the playoffs. 

Predictions:

Finish: 9th

Topscorer: Noel Hunt

Player of the year: Tom Lees

Young player of the year: Dominic Poleon

I hope to get over to Leeds during the season and I hope to meet some of you over there for a pint or two.

Marching on together!

I think with the squad as it is we'll finish just outside the play offs , this isn't because the squad is good enough to get there but rather the manager is good enough to put us in that position , but given a couple more players I believe we'll go up , so come on GFH , pull out the stops

As I mentioned in a earlier post, the crowd has a important part to play.
Its looking like 33000 at E R on sat & if that can be sustained, fingers crossed and with the magic of B M and the Jan transfer window!!!!! My prediction is

FIN 5th or 6th place
Young player of the year: Dominic Poleon
Player of the year Sam Byram
Top scorer Noel Hunt

Then who gave us a chance in 91

I Have The Faith LOL

My Predictions.

Finish: 12th
I personally don't think we are strong enough to push for promotion unless we are still going to delve in the transfer market but it does not look likely at the moment.
Any injury at CenHalf and we are in big trouble we have no cover.
We still need wide men and i still dont think we have a out and out goalscorer. Smith,Poleon untested.Varney,Hunt have only chipped in goals all their career's.
Ross is in and out and will score but he's not a out and out goalscorer.

TopScorer: Smith
I think Smithy will score most because of his height and if we play from wide area's he will be the one finishing off.

Player Of Year: Rudy Austin
Rudy looks like a diff player in pre-season.
He was playing pinpoint balls like Beckham in Shelbourne.If we can keep him away from those long distance Jamaican friendlies i feel we are going to see a big season from him.

Young Player Of Year: Cant really say but i think we have a few pushing for the first team this season but all depends who gets the chance.
Byram,Poleon are going to be the popular ones.
But Simon Lenighan,Ross Killock,Chris Dawson could all be pushing for a chance this season maybe another Sam Byram will come along.
This season may not be his time but i'm sure next season Alex Mowatt will become a Leeds star.

Hi guys
Thanks for your feedback and your own predictions! I hope we're all wrong and we take the crown, but promotion would suit me ok to ;)
