Yes but nothing to do with any burnout or lack of numbers. Leeds were 2 points clear in 2nd with 3 games to go, and then 2-0 up in the play off semi with 45mins to go. The reasons for Leeds failure was down to an absolute kamikaze maniac in goals , bad luck and a total implosion in the last 45mins of the season.

Leeds had a stupidly high amount of injuries but this was managed well with use of the U23 squad plus first teamers being able to fill into multiple positions. A good manager who recruits well and has the youth teams all playing the same system does not need a huge squad. Unfortunately Ray has no reserve or youth teams to pull from.     

 

Injuries because  burn out and high tempo press, dead on their feet versus an average at best Derby team, weren't Leeds top of the league a large part of the season.

One win in the last 6 games doesn't sound like burn out tho !!

Yeah, defence still lightest are of the squad but not every position has cover and in some case multiple options. It doesnt look bad now so no more excuses.

I'm happy enough with this, might mean Dixon moves in to cover Durnan and Moore starts as an attacking LB.
Much less concerned about the squad size after these two signings.

Is Moore not a left midfielder ?

He can operate anywhere on the left side, and whilst he is predominantly an attacking player, he can also play left back which is very important as we are a little short of options in that area.”

Thats from the website. Just a side-note: I really like how the player announcement looks on the "new" website, haven't been on in ages. Not so much the text but the pictures are formatted really well, looks professional.
