    Not blaming Kisnorbo for any of the goals tonight, just his presence and lack of ability and pace would not have given me a lot of confidence as a goalkeeper.

    We'll see on sunday.

    Does Kasper play really well when against his old clubs?

    Like he does when he plays well on tele, at home games, at night games, in cup games, at away games and against rivals.

    I don't think Kaspers a bad keeper and if I'm honest he would have done better blindfolded than ****ing rachubka! I can't see it possible for him to play for Leeds ever again after tonight he got slaughtered!

    I'm not sure it's fair to boo the poor bloke off but no way can he play for Leeds again. And what about the bloke that hired him? And what about all the Leeds players who missed a hatful of chances. To be honest, we should have seen this coming - when the lads have a couple of bad results they crumble, confidence falls faster than a pack of cards and it can take a dozen games to find their feet again. It's happened at some point every season for the last four years. I ask the team: Where's the pride? Where's the passion? Where's the fight? And to Simon Grayson, I ask: Where's the leadership? Where's the judgement? Where's the door?

    And to Ken Bates, I ask: where's the money to buy on-field leadership?

    Cairn's looked promising, composed and like he was thinking about what he was doing. Most importantly he can catch a ball. How did Rachubka become a professional goalkeeper without being able to catch?

    Yes. First 3 goals all Rachubka's fault. Rachubka catches the ball on the second one, the ball doesn't spill out, we don't give away a penalty and lees isn't sent off. It's ****ing pathetic how he got to where he is without the ability to catch a ball. 8 goals conceded since Lonners got injured, 6 have been directly Rachubka's fault, and the Cardiff one could have been dealt with by him too.

    I'm ****ing sick of this ****. This is what happens when you pay **** all for players.

    Nobody's fault directly I don't think, we were being run ragged while down to 10 men and the players were all knackered by that point. There was nothing Cairns could have done to stop either but he did the simple stuff well, Rachubka seemed incapable of the simple stuff spilling every single ball into the box where any other keeper would have caught it. Why is this man still pulling a wage big enough to live more comfortably than the majority of people in the UK?

    Get him loaned out till we can offload him permanently. Simple. And get Bates assassinated, that's the only way we're going to be able to pay for players. Lonergan was an absolute bargain at 250k, doesn't mean we can get a solid back up for free. Pay 100k. Pay 50k. Doesn't matter pay whatever it takes to seperate a player from a club who don't want to let that player go because they are worth having!

    Bates doesn't get it. It doesn't matter how small or large the transfer fee is, the transfer represents the clubs unwillingness to let the player go. If a player is out of contract its usually for a reason, and that reason is rarely anything other than "no club, including their current club, wanted them". If you pay a fee of any size then it is to persuade a club to let go of a player who is an asset to them.

    I'm writing a strongly worded letter to him tomorrow expressing my dissatisfaction with the clubs direction at the moment and I'm planning to throw his own words back on him. Quotes like "you want premiership football you pay premiership prices" are going to get burnt with stuff like "if we have to pay premiership prices why on earth don't you? we're paying premiership prices for league one players", "spending money doesn't guarantee success" will be shot down with "not spending money, however, guarantees failure".

    I'm gunna rip him a new one.
