    So what I saw yesterday was embarrassing and from what Others have said and the YEP individual performance reviews, it looks like we are well short. Yes a few out through suspension but problems all over the park. New manager will have to dump some regular stars at this rate unless they can take on board the new tactics and routines from PH. Radz has said they are all being looked at to see if they deserve to be here next season.

    These players are wanting to be here and did well yesterday, the rest stank the place out:

    Felix
    Pontus
    Pennington
    Pablo
    Forshaw
    Lassoga
    Ekuban

    7 from 14 used is just not good enough

    Hope he is also looking at Orta to establish if he should be here next season. He also needs to decide if he really wants to be involved with Leeds, if so has he got the money required.
    Today is 11th February and counting, seem to remember he was going to inform us (in February ) what the transfer policy is.
    I'm tempted to say he has not got the money, if he has then he is just scared of investing.

    2p if we have to offload players like Alioski, Anita, Cibicki, Grot, Roofe, Sacko, Nessy, Dallas, O’Kane thats a big statement saying you dont know what your doing, so yes Orta must go as all got big long contracts

    Has Orta actually made any bad signings? If so who? Sacko was here before Orta arrived so can't count him, forced to play Grot before he's ready so can't count him, Alioski I personally think is ok, can't think of any truly bad signings made on the recommendation of Orta

    Even if he has made one or two, managers/coaches who don't have a DOF, who sign players of their choice also make one or two poor signings, even the ones who have the pick of the world's best

    Orta getting unfair criticism in my opinion

    There are 3 players to come back who have all got heart. Saiz and Berardi will stiffen the team and in Saiz give them some flair. Cooper also has it in spades but for me is on the bench behind Pontus and Pennington

    Wasn't Dallas, O'Kane & Roofe also signed before he arrived and isn't Nessy through the academy?

    Forza lets hope you’re right at the end of the season because if the performances dont pick up the only other person to blame will be the manager. I ‘m of the opinion that we have some powder puff players who need to man up. We also have Tommy to blame for that and for not using his tools properly. Lets hope PH can get that sorted out and the players show what they are capable of then nobody gets the sack, but right now its shocking

    Doc what I'm saying those calling for a traditional type manager who signs his own players seem to think said manager wouldn't make any poor signings

    Even old bacon face made poor signings and he had the bottomless pit of borrowed Yankee Dollar to spend

    They got long contracts because TC was playing them. Of course you could argue about the quality of the Orta signings that they haven't been good enough to replace them. On Alioski, I still think there might be a decent player there if Heck can get him to stop throwing himself to the ground all the time.

    Tyler Roberts and hoping to see him in tandem with Lassoga for the next game. PH is also a big fan of Roberts as he was trying to get him on loan at Barnsley.

    As I started this thread by saying 7 players let themsleves down yesterday and let the club and fans down. My opinion is that if PH cannot get these players sorted out they are not good enough and will be binned before next season starts. Alioski was a player who exited me when he came but feel he is played out of position. He is alos a powder puff player for me as never seen him go for and win a 50/50. I hope PH can bring the best out of him as he and Saiz are the flair players we need but we need more from Alioski. What happened to the Viera who had everyone raving last season? What happened to the Phillips we saw at the start of the season because he and O’Kane have been shocking
