Good Morning all, Another game, another loss. We must have one of the worst home records in the league!!! Why can't we score for toffee? Over the 30 games we have played this season, we have scored 29, and conceded 34. When was the last time we scored from a free kick or a corner? I know what I am saying is nothing new, but what what we are seeing is die hard Leeds fans giving up on their team in their droves. This has not happened before! Surely we are in a better position than when Bates or GFH were in charge, or are we?
Morning all. We can all offer an opinion about finances, how much is being put into the team or how much is being taken out, the truth is none of us really know. I don't get depressed any longer, I'm just used to it all being a shambles, every now and again a candle is lit offering a glimmer of hope but it soon gets blown out.
Morning all. I see Evans saying our budget is that of a top six team but the problem is that we have too many players pulling a wage and contributing nothing. That's been a problem for us for the last decade or more. How many squad players have we had on circa 5 to 10k a week, playing maybe a half dozen games over a couple of seasons for us. Surely every club has their share of these wasters/hangers on? They do because they are constantly trying to sell them to us and failing that we borrow them. Flights were too expensive for the Charlton game so must check out prices later for FA cup final weekend
If we could be sure that we had a manager/coach who was going to be given time to build something I would say that now is the time of season where we should be blooding the youngsters and seeing who can cut it at this level. We are not going up and are difficult enough to beat now that we should be safe from relegation. Use the remaining games to see who is good enough and who isnt. See where we need to spend money and see where we already have players who can do the job. I could accept experimentation now if we were to see the benefits next year. Like I say though this is all dependent on having a manager who will be here long term, a rarity at Leeds.
Morning Eire, not as bad as in previous years. The dead wood we have are actually fringe players. We do have far too many midfielders. Gutted that Sloth has not been given an opportunity
Agree, chuck the kids in, start with Coyle. Apart from that, we only have the new duo we have signed from Donny in our first team. http://www.leedsunited.com/players
Morning all Do we have a big squad? I dont think so. An overload of Centre mids, I agree. But the squad on the whole isnt big. Is it?
Morning shaks Actually its probably worth considering how many ex managers are still on the pay roll!
Ex players as well Shaks. Ramon Nunez, remember that useless ginnet, only came off our payroll at the end of October. Seems to be the way we handle the mutual ending of contracts. Well continue to pay part of wages for remainder of contract. A joke
We have too many crap players end of.... We have a manager who is too negative..... We have an owner who will kill the club..... Apart from that it's all fine and dandy. (Fecking hell those scarves someone is trying to flog looks a right piece of tat) Morning BTW
Blood what youngsters? our under 21s are hardly setting their league alight. Barring Coyle none of them are ready or they would be added to the squad. But hey lets play them anyway and suffer plenty of defeats to knock the confidence ahead of next season.
