This team should not be playing as bad as it is. This is a confidence thing and the fact Colin is not playing players in a way that maximises team stability. We need a strong spine right through the middle Kenny GK Peltier CB Pearce CB Brown DM Austin CM Becchio CF Then we need to build the other players around that. Lees RB (he's not strong enough at CB, but RB he has been fine, and Peltier would cover him like he did with Byram v Wolves) White LB (he is fast, strong enough and has stamina to be able to get up the wing and support) Byram LM - strong, quick, creative and keen but can go missing seciond half so look for subs at 60 min Diouf RM - creative, composed Poleon CF - fast, direct, would complement Becchio This 442 formation with a strong spine is what this squad is crying out for. I really don't know why Warnock is fumbling around
According to MattyP on ja606, this is what Bates said on YR 20 minutes ago Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has confirmed that negotiations surrounding potential investment in the club are at an "advanced stage." Speaking publicly about the ongoing investment talks surrounding the club the Leeds chairman confirmed that both parties are working towards concluding the deal "as soon as possible." "We're well advanced with discussions," said the United chairman, speaking exclusively to LUTV ahead of Saturday's Elland Road meeting with Nottingham Forest. "There's a number of finer points to be resolved, but we're making good progress. "We had four of the top people over here for a big meeting on Friday and they are at our game on Saturday. "The potential investors are looking to conclude things as soon as possible. Both parties regret missing the August transfer deadline, but we are planning for the January transfer window." In the absence of any firm statements regarding updates on the situation speculation has abounded, but the United chairman said: "The confidentiality agreements that were put in place are very important to the investors. "They are a banking institution and a Public Company and not only can speculation affect their share price, they are also governed by heavy banking regulations. They also have interests across the Gulf, Asia, and Africa. "They are using London lawyers and there has been some logistical issues, but we have discussed things at length and agreed that we can make certain things public. "Since we signed the agreement in June - and told people what we had done - there has been a lot of speculation and agitation, especially by the Leeds United Supporters Trust, and I have to tell people that a lot of the statements that have come out are inaccurate."
Yep, that's what's been posted on the OS now too: http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20120922/ken-bates-investment-update_2247585_2926464
Yep, I saw that too. Doesn't say a lot, apart from four of em being at the game today (they make up our subs bench)

Sounding like an interesting game, opportunities for both, desire and passion from both, two goals so far with one cancelled out fortuitously and a smashing volley from Becchio
