Just out of interest what did you think of Stewart and Kebe after 2 games, I could see they were never going to make it, that with reports from everyone else. What did you think of Wootton and Zakliukas when we signed them? What about Murphy, did you think he was good, going to get better and what about Austin and Pearce?? Before the season started I looked at Hockadays CV and read what Forest Green fans thought of him, 3 league games in I don't need to give him 10 games in charge, he is worse than McDermott and that is saying something. This isn't a dig but too many fans get excited when a new player arrives, everyone starts to believe we are going to climb the table, challenge for a top 6 and we are always looking to blame results on everything apart from the fact we are playing crap football and haven't the quality in the team to change it. Two seasons ago it was Bates fault and unrest in the dressing room Last season it was GFH and how could McD manage a team with all the backroom stuff going on. This season we need to allow the new players time to adjust. I agree but it is no use signing players like Ajose and Bianchi who are no better than what we have, or Sharp who is a poacher and we create few chances. One minute you are saying it is the old guards fault the next it is a group of new players having to gel. The truth is the initial signs are that the new signings have not enough quality to make a difference, they might be better than the ones we have let go but that still isn't enough of a jump. Tom Lees and Sheff Wednesday would also disagree that ALL the new players are better than who we allowed to go
1 injured,1 suspended,1 not yet fit and 2 just signed and need to get to know the team,training etc,If they are not playing by end of sep.come back..See your Halifax guy is still awful do you think he will ever score ?.Some on here would have sent him back Halifax a week ago.But give him another month ay.
You're funny Chesh But deep down you know Ristac is right!! You are a Championship team full of League 1 players, playing League 2 tactics, overseen by a failed non league manager
Ajose was bought for the future but has been thrown in.Bianchi is better than all the other midfielders but can't do 4 players jobs.Lees was crap and worse than all we have now IMO,and yes our main problem is our last seasons midfield.The 1 thing that stands out the most you seem unable to see.And just saying give the new lads more than 1 half before judging them.Been watching football for 40 years and never seen 1 player yet who played at his best straight away,they all take time.Derby took half of last season for their team to gel,you would have got rid of them all as crap I take it.
Time will tell,and unless you are back in Germany come Feb you will see for yourself.Every season you say the same as do I and every season since 1989 I have been right you have been wrong and this season will be no different we are a better team and will finish better in the league than millwallBut our young team is building for next season.
Ristac I read recently the championship is rated the 3rd toughest league in Europe behind the Premiership and La Liga, excluding possibly the top 8 Serie A sides it tells me that for many Serie A players this would be considered a step up I dread to think how far behind and how big a step it is for Serie B players even the best, because if they were any good they WOULD be in Serie A, because even that has a lack of real quality in the lower sides up until recently the championship was broadcast live every week here on italian TV such is how they see the quality. These players Cellino is bringing in see it as a massive step up in their careers.
Serie B is no better than bottom League 1 standard - the league has just lost it's sponsorship deal with bwin because of its poor standard - the average attendance in Serie B last season was just over 5,500 - really awful.
When you've played everyone twice they won't,by the way why is a Italian 3rd team players more than holding there own at Watford ? Do they not know they are league 2 standard.
I think some Leeds fans are going to learn and discover this the hard way, I need to go out and buy myself some rose tinted glasses I think
Look Mighty, You know it.... I know it... Leeds are going up as Champions , and will be Champions of Europe within 5 years. Now, you'd better to nice to us please log in to view this image
