I was with you until the Bamford bit. I'm now adamant that we go back to basics. Put a goalkeeper in who can save stuff. Put right footed players on the right and left footed players on the left. Play midfielders in midfield not wingers. Shackleton is more than capable. Get rid of that striker who can't hit the target from 6 yards. Put someone, anyone else there. Strikers are not defenders! Shoot on sight! Just like Forest did!
Worst performance of the season Positives Ayling even though he was playing CB, led us more than our current captain Klich Augustin's debut Shackleton back Kalvin back for the Brentford game Positional changes required on Tuesday night. Negatives One on target, Samba makes one save 13 shots off target 70% possession......for what? Gifting goals like Santa Claus. We are so predictable. Every championship coach knows our next pass/move & weaknesses, we've been sussed out! White is not a DM, looked out of his comfort zone. Casilla beaten at his near post once again. Alioski lucky not to be sent off the silly little tw*t, he is not a defender FFS. Cooper's header, heads the ball as if he has a head like a 50p piece. Was Bamford playing? Costa a waste of space & money. Another dross signing from Orta. Losing possession in dangerous areas, Pablo for the first, Jack for the 2nd goal. Bielsa is polishing turds. Our corners/crosses as bad as ever. Casilla, Alioski, Costa, Bamford & Captain Chaos should be dropped. Will Bielsa be ruthless enough? I doubt it Appalling atmosphere, our fans have been numbed by our woeful displays. Never heard Forest fans so loud!

Conor says somethings I've been saying for ages. Disagree with Conors comments about Pablo at this moment in time. We have players who, after playing with Pablo for so long still don't know what kind of passes to expect, same thing with Klich as well. Conor mentions Berardi, I think I mentioned it a while back. Conor mentions it looks like the other players don't want Bamford in team, I believe it, he's echoing what I said on Saturday. Oscars comments on game. I disagree about being bullied in midfield, it wasn't case at all.
Sounds like Oscar has put a few stats together and suggests we're not falling apart again. This was before the Forest game though. The fact he's gone to great lengths to put the stats together does suggest that we are actually falling apart, and he's trying to make it look like we're not as he compares this season to last season, where we did start falling apart after Christmas. However, and hopefully, we've gone through our bad patch and we're due to come out of it, that of course depends on Bielsa's stubbornness and lack of ability to take risks and make changes.
Asked about whether he thought about changing his team to counter Stoke's aerial threat, Bielsa said: "The aerial game depends on the quality of the skills that the players who head the ball have from one team and the other team.
Thanks Ristac. Well I would have hoped she'd have been a Leeds Utd supporter. Actually she'd have hadn't a choice. Not only did we lose a daughter we had to rebury her organs years later because of the organ retention that the hospitals did without the consent of the parents. Sorry for being morbid, but I just find this time of year difficult.
I didn't mean to put a downer on this site. But sometimes it feels better talking about it Elland. I bottled it up for years and probably is one of the reasons I drink so much. I love Leeds Utd too though..
I know you have pal. You know you can always talk to me if you want to. PM me if you haven't got my number
Definitely not putting a downer on anything mate, more a breathe and like 2pennth said, take note of what we have
