Gentlemen, I think its time for some on here to take a chill pill. It was the first game of the season and the Hock couldn't even play the team he wanted. Yes, it wasn't a great performance. But we did have some chances, and we're at least playing proper footy. Too early to call for the Hock to be sacked I think. We have Accrington Stanley on Tuesday. Beradi will almost certainly start in midfield. I think Smith and maybe Poleon, Morison or Doukara will play up front. I also hope we get a couple more in. Give Hock a chance and lets look at this again after 10 games
Boggers I could tell after one game that Kebe and Stewart were ****e. I have a gut feeling that we are going to have another **** season, the players aren't good enough, the coach is out of his depth, Cellino should not have an input into buying players.
Boggers see your point,but he started hunt,I've yet to meet a leeds fan who likes him. Shako,see your point re foreign imports,but I think cellino and salermo are using their knowledge of italien football, Maybe as they get to know our league we will see more british/irish players,I for one hope so. Also the pound is strong against the euro,making these players cheaper.
Boggers, I think you mean Bianchi in midfield. Berardi is our R/L back. There are 2 main issues with Hock the Cock that have made people explode after the Nilwall match - the fact that he played Hunt the cnut when no-one on this earth would do, and then claiming after the match that he got his tactics right. Right for defeat, surely? These are the actions of an imbecile, not a mistake or action that we can understand & forgive.
Apparently Cellino might make the final decision, but the Hock does have an input. So not quite as one-sided as we might all think. One Stewart, I wonder how he would have done playing in our new stile. We'll never know, but his successor didn't seem too bad yesterday - plenty of pace and two good feet.
evening Shako Cellino trusts Nickola and nobody else until Cellino get in a coach he trusts and will listen to nothing will change. He and his side kick think the championship is like Seire B and they are worlds apart
Points well made Jock, and yes I think Bianchi will start in midfield. He may go for either a diamond with Rudy at the base, Bianchi at the tip, our new winger one side and Murphy the other. Whatever team and formation Hock puts out, nothing less than a good win will suffice.
Evening mighty We knew were in for a rocky ride,as you say serie b is not the championship, Blokes not been here long,I will give him a bit of time,cellino that is,hockaway less.
You know what lads, you can moan and bitch all you like. Cellino is here for the long haul, will listen to no one and do it entirely his way. Just have to hope it works out
OLOF is probably on his all day sunday,maybe he will be on later. Glory let the wallies have their fun,not like they will ever get promoted tho.
Shaks it wasn't the foreign players who lost us the game yesterday, it was English players Pearce and Wooton ball watching for the first goal, Irish twat Hunt not taking his chance when it came to him, and the young English lad Cook giving away the penalty. Oh and English **** clueless coach Hockaday. Think we need more continentals and less British/Irish tbh. One of our better performers was our Italian keeper Silvestri
Dear everybody ... Hock starting Hunt ahead of Smith and then claiming it was right (because selection is part of tactics) says everything there is to know about this fool ... he talked up Hunt in pre-season when it would have been better to say fcuk all until he saw Hunt in a few League games ... so now he has to back up his mouth so what does the fool do? He leaves our ONLY goalscorer on the bench and plays Hunt because he is, exactly as the FGR blokes said, a thick, stubborn idiot who won't budge from his stance, especially when he's wrong!! I bet that if Smith starts against Accrington and scores five, he will still start Hunt next Saturday (unless Cellino tells him otherwise) ... no, for me this fella is simply not a Leeds United manager (coach, kit man, bib washer, whatever) ... WTF are we doing with a clown like this walking in The Don's footsteps?
