Good Morning Everyone, Leeds re-wrote the record books on Saturday...... For the wrong reasons. 11 home games without a win! It also broke a few Brighton Hoodoo's. Up until Saturday Brighton had not won a game in October since 2010, and Zamora had not scored in more or less 5000 minutes of game time. I'm not saying that Rosler shouldn't shoulder some of the blame BUT who in their right mind (that knows what they are doing) would want the hot seat at Elland Road. I say leave any decision on a managerial change until January. I can understand to a degree why Rosler made a statement to the press before the Brighton game writing off Leeds' chances of promotion. He wanted to take the pressure off the players. I remember a Birmingham player coming out a few weeks ago saying they relished coming to Elland Road, and could feel the tension in the air. Rosler thought that if there was no expectation on the players, they could play without fear, would not feel the pressure, and could play with confidence. What he didn't take into consideration were the thousands of fans that flock to ER week in, week out; sometimes forking out hundreds of pounds. Someone on here game a very good analogy the other day saying Would you fork out £25 on a cinema ticket if you knew the reviews were awful? If not, how can you expect average hard working Leeds fans to splash out £35 a ticket when you know there is no hope of promotion? Unfortunately Taylor had a virus, and could not play on Saturday. He was replaced with Wootton (much to the moan and groans of us). Why he didn't pick Byram, I'll never know? To make matters worse Cooper had to be helped off the pitch in the final 10 minutes, which inadvertently led to Brighton's winner . Rosler expects Taylor (virus) to be out for 'an extended amount of time'. Cooper on the other hand will undergo tests today. Surely both will miss Wednesday's trip to Fulham. This will mean that Byram will surely start on Wednesday, though so will Wootton with Beradi making do at left back (where he did not look comfortable).

After the game Rosler was quoted as saying : “That’s what you get when you’re in the lower part of the league,” “Things tend to go more against you than when you’re on the top. “When you’re on the top you think ‘we got a win today. Where did that come from?’ I felt that was the case with Brighton, with all due respect and with all due respect to Chris (Hughton, Brighton’s manager). They didn’t create a lot but with every little thing they had they punished us.” Hughton agreed.
Morning all. Same old same old. Desperately clutching at straws how we might have won. Watched Newcastle highlights from yesterday. They're a crap pl side but still light years ahead of us in quality. Fans of My age will never see a top Leeds team in our lifetime. That's clear. Maybe relegation and start from scratch again might be the best thing. One things for sure, our last season in league 1 is the last one I enjoyed
Depressing is the only way to say it. The football is tepid, timid, no creativity, pressure or skill. Nothing to scare the opposition and that's at home ffs. Some will blame Cellino, some will blame the players for not being good enough, some will blame the fans and some the coach/manager. My view and always will be is that the players are half decent and better than last season, and that's because Cellino has spent money on what the coach wanted and backed up by Pearson. The coach isn't good enough and is now worse officially than Hockaday. We took the piss out of Milwall when Kenny Jacket was manager but he has done a great job at Wolves with no money having to move on a full squad of overpaid players on prem wages. He got them promoted back to the championship and makes our guy look silly. There are quality coaches out there out of work and a some like Big Mick who would jump at the chance. We need a manager/coach who has done it at the top table and can work with nothing to get best results/
Morning all "PhilHayYEP Spoke to Rosler a moment ago who would not go into details but confirmed that he and the club have parted company. #luf" Popey reporting this too.
Wow, long time no speak! Hope your well TOM. I wanted Rosler in even before he was linked. Sadly I have also wanted him out for about a month and whilst I dont agree with all the changing I think he had to go. Now, whose next to drink out of the poisoned Challis?
Morning Matt. Never mind all that old pony, we won and the mighty Kim bagged yet another correct result. See you next season. FFS though don't give the lunatic Italian my number..........................
Another managerial casualty notch on his owner's CV and yet another pay-off but the question is, who's next to go though it!
Hearing a horrible rumour that Steve Evans is taking over. Anyone know the number for the samaritans?
Says in the YEP that he is taking training today - is there something you can take to stop you loving Leeds United - life would be so much easier!
Ha, heya Bucks! Yeah, I'm good thanks. How is everything with you? I've been lurking on here just in case I miss anything but I don't really post any more... too much squabbling for my liking. 'Aint nobody got time for that'. I'm quite glad he's gone to be honest, I wasn't overwhelmed when we got him but others seemed fairly happy. It hasn't worked out, simple as that. Manager eater or not, I think MC has done the right thing in letting him go. Problem is we will be back here in this predicament before we know it... things just aren't right at the club and even if we get a strong proven manager in I don't see how it will work at this present moment in time.
Leeds hating Evans would love to relegate you, even the lunatic Italian wouldn't be so stupid...........................would he?!!!!
This could be it, this really could be the thing that breaks me. I am normally one of the more optimistic of Leeds supporters trying to see the positives even when they are few and far between. I have gritted my teeth through the hard years and taken it all on the chin while still defending my club to other supporters but this could be my limit. I really really do not want this fat c**t anywhere near my club. The guys at work, a West Ham and Cambridge ( Cambridge for fooks sake) are laughing at me at the moment and I for once have no come back. This has never happened to me before.
