How many games have we won and with Zaliukas in the team, two young players who reportedly cost around £2m in total, money wisely spent? How many games does it take to get match fit, Stewart has played 18 times already this season for Charlton, his two displays so far leave me with absolutely nothing to get excited about and Kebe looks lost and uninterested What I don't understand is last week we lost 6-0 and many were saying Wednesday were fortunate, a few said that we gifted them their goals by poor defending... Take away the mistakes Leicester made with sloppy balls in defence and we created little. Leeds United lose at home to Leicester and go no wins in 7 games and people are still positive, worse still they say perform like today every week and we will be in the play offs?.... We haven't beaten any team in the top 6, it is complete madness.
The managers signings, the only two to play today were the two poor quality wingers, the rest were the team Warnock built. I pose the question - Has the manager spent wisely this year, if he hadn't brought Murphy and Wootton who supposedly cost £2m between them and he had invested that money in two quality wingers instead would we be in a better position. I felt we were playing with ten men Kebe was that poor.
wont be long m8 2 points from 6 games will see you crash, mind you dont get hit by the Ollie express on your way down
Kebe ... outstanding today, did a superb job shadowing Byram and snuffing out Leicester's star man Dyer to such an extent Pearson pulled him off ... Stewart showed some promising glimpses, quick feet and a nice drop of the shoulder, he will improve, problem for him was our centre mids weren't the creative types, and Warnock didn't bring Stewart into the game, but this will improve ... if you want to point a finger after a superb team effort where players grafted hard, then point at McCormack who was dreadful in front of goal, and Kenny for being slow off his line and going in feet first against Nugent for their goal ... now, I say again to those who keep digging at McD and Haigh, name the manager you feel can take this club forward, and name the chairman you think will be right for Leeds Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I have just wasted my time reading this whole thread. Anyway, for what its worth here is my analysis of the game. Very disappointed with the result, Kenny was at total fault for the goal, admittedly Lees (I think) could've done better but Kenny needs to be quicker than that off his line. I think I say that every game though, just reinforces the fact we need a new keeper in the summer. Thought we played quite well, especially in the first half, their mistakes were caused by us pressing much much harder than I have seen us. Kebe was very good in the first half, and he was the one who was doing all the pressing really and forcing those mistakes, also thought his movement off the ball was very good and he brought Byram and Austin into the game going forward a lot. To say he played poorly is just trying to make an excuse to complain at McD, McD may deserve some stick but not for the performance today and the reaction or even team selection. Kebe to me though is clearly not match fit and should've been withdrawn around 60 mins because he got knackered and started making silly mistakes. Stewart looked a little distant in the first half, couldn't get into the action and when he did either got pushed off the ball easily or his pass was misplaced, in the last 30 mins or so though he was probably our best outlet, was much more involved and players were more willing to give him the ball to run at the defence. I think Ross was unfortunate, if he had been scoring the last few games he would've converted at least a couple of those chances, he worked hard as ever though and was still probably our best player. His control at times was frighteningly good, just a shame he may have lost a bit of his confidence in front of goal. I think Brown and Austin did ok but we need a ball playing CM in there for me, the right choice today but we need to get either Murphy or Mowatt in there to pull the strings, thats what we lacked. Warnock and Byram are a lot better choices than Pugh and Peltier imo. and in general the defence looked a lot stronger and not jumping into challenges and holding their ground. They only had 1 shot on target which should never have existed if Kenny dealt with it properly, their other shot should've been covered by Kenny (although I doubt it was). Also we need to buy a striker to replace Varney in that team, he did ok as he has always put the effort in but he lacks the quality required.

After last week's debarcle, we wanted to see an improvement. What we got was 90 minutes of us playing on the floor, creating chances, and with a bit of luck, we would have been home and hosed by half time. We're now playing in a formation that suits us. Tonge and others will be looking at our pensioner and thinking how does he start and we don't? Brown put in a fine performance today against a side that recently hammered Deby, and in all honesty are likely to win the league. Our two new wingers are settling in to their roles. If we continue next week against Ipswich, I think our winless run will come to an end. On our new captain, did anyone else see him encouraging the midfield to push up and support? His first game as captain only bodes well for the future.
Bollocks, after 40+ yrs following the whites and spending bucket loads of money and million of hours travelling I think I've paid my dues and IMO am a true fan. But in truth I couldn't give a **** what people think.......
