    Good Morning Everyone

    Steve Morison has been speaking to the press following Millwall's victory at Elland Road

    “I thought I played well and it’s a shame the Leeds fans never got to see me play like that,” Morison said. “That’s what I can do but I never did it for them so I can understand their frustration towards me.

    “It was pantomime stuff and I got a couple of good assists. I was getting plenty of stick and they never like it when it’s turned on its head, do they?

    “That might be an amazing game for the fans but that’s not an amazing game to play in. You don’t want to play football like that. You shouldn’t have to score four goals just to win a game, especially when you’re 2-0 up against ten men.”

    Asked why Leeds had failed to see the best of him, Morison said bluntly: “Because I was crap when I played here.”




    This is very interesting...







    Are Leeds about to sign Adam Clayton from Boro?

    Why would they when they have just signed Adam Forshaw!

    Overnight the odds on Leeds resigning the former White have dropped from 12/1 to 4/1.

    Are our midfielders that bad?

    Pep has been sacked by Oxford ... here's a thought, why don't we get the losers Monk & Pep back but this time have Monk as assssssistant? I used to find all the rhetoric about Pep being the quiet genius behind Monk hilarious, and couldn't fathom the calls for him to be Leeds manager ... well, there you have it, a good number two very seldom makes the step up, very very seldom

    Positives from game against National Front ... courage to fight back like that, incredible and a turning point ... Lasogga shows his quality a la Viduka ... DeBock looks like a really good signing, calm and assured with pace as well ... Phillips out for two games so should see Vieira and Forshaw in tandem, exciting


    Leeds don't like the colour red!! Understand?

    Good Morning to Matt and everyone from a sunny Bardsey
    The positives to take out of Sat was we have got us a ,left back I thought he did very well
    and Lassonga having missed 3 first half chances needs to improve his heading but he certainly can shoot accurately
    Cooper has become what Cooper always threatened to be a liability.He has been sent off too many times for the same offence
    So with just over a week to go do we go for Madison and Marriot as I thought Viera was non-existent along with Phillips interesting 10 days ahead
    Once again thank you to everyone who made me so welcome on Saturday and at least they know now that I am not decrepit pensioner and Walt was marvellous for his age

    Mike the Peterboro kid is expected to go to West Ham for £7m, Villa are also keen.

    Regarding Clayton I know it will upset some but we are too inexperienced in the DM department & Foreshaw and Clayton would be good, even allowing Foreshaw to play further forward as he can play central midfield too. We were too lightweight in the middle, we need bite and experience.

    Morison always gives 110% for us a real grafter his goals have dried up but he is always knocking for the MotM award every week <ok>

    maybe the Leeds shirt was too heavy <whistle>

    Morning all I could provide the bite and experience. I've just got some new teeth and I've been around a bit.

    Morning all. A big positive from Saturday was proving for a half hour that this bunch have ability if they can combine with 100% effort.The downside is they have failed to show it far too often this season. Its a hard one to explain. The playing side is finished for January so only squad strengthening remains.

    It’s the type of polyester we use mighty.

    Moro was out of favour and sulked at Leeds, he seems a complicated character. When given another chance he did well, just doesn’t trouble the scorer. Holds the ball up brings others into play. Frankly we could do with someone like him.

    But as you said the shirt was too heavy... better suited to being the big fish for the pub team!

    Morning all the bookies will take your money if you let them.Clayton I do not think will sign for us.
    Lassoga may be out for some time and apart from his shooting is hopeless.very slow and a poor header of the ball.
    Pennington though looks a real player and cooper will not be missed.bock looks tidy and I want to see more of him.
    Wiedwald may as well punch every ball cos he can't catch and the sooner we sign a goalie the better.
    No one had a good word to say about Phillips Mr inconsistent..
    We are still light in the middle so the door is open forshaw to slot in due to Kalvin's auto ban kicking in.
    Morrison got wound up by the crowd and then lost it.a guy in our north east lower section mounted the new fancy advertising sign and he wanted to get on the pitch and belt him.player went too far to the delight of the north stand.
    Sign a goalie striker and a other mid and I'm all happy clappy because top six is still on.

    Going on Saturdays second half performance I'm hopeful that when we get a full squad to choose from Leeds will have a team as good as any in the championship. Lassogas two strikes were top class.

    Some players like to be a big fish in a small pond

    And you can’t get smaller than Millwall

    Pity Doc because I know he is not very tall but he is a natural goalscorer and you don't get many of them
