    He's had 12 games in charge now - can't imagines that he's got more points than Christiansen's last 12 games in charge?

    Sadly Jammy it's a case of who would want it, we have been through so many and I mean from left field gambles (Hockaday / Darko / TC) to those histories of promotion from various divisions be that championship or league 1 (Warnock / McDermott / Grayson) to those supposedly that worked well on a 'shoestring' budget (PH / Evans and nothing has changed). Closest we got was under Monk and we decided to rear that up and start again. So, tbh, I don't know where / who to turn to next. All i think is whoever it is, including PH, they need to be able to spot players that handle this division whether they are expensively bought or not or communicate to the fans that we are building from below and the players we've recruited to the U23s will be able to step up soon.

    Think the difference between Adkins and PH is that Adkins has taken 28 points in the same period, if PH had done that we would be top 6. Adkins has dragged Hull up the league from relegation form and PH has taken us from 8th to 14th

    It’s been a common theme this season - we’ve got a glass chin, after that soft penalty we were beaten - heads gone, full of self pity and angst and absolutely knocked off balance and the usual suspects are the worst affected. We have zero useful “game craft” whereas every team we lose to have it in spades, whether it be feigning injury, influencing the ref, winding up the crowd, winning a penalty or a free kick - other teams can do it a we can’t, other teams know it and crank it up when playing us - a good manager would be working on this now. It’s the major difference from our first six games and what's gone on since, we were sussed by McCarthy in the Ipswich game, O’Kane fell straight into the trap, Warnock twice ate u up twice the spat us out - Millwall gave us a master class in it at ER. Neil & his players did the same with similar tactics last night, at times clearly cheating but it was enough to totally unsettle us !
    This is what you get when you have average soft-bellied no bottle players & managers who are clueless to stop the rot !

    Positives

    Peacock-Farrell, O'Connor
    Leading at half-time
    'Orta out' sung for the first time this season

    Negatives

    Caving in as soon as Preston equalised
    Our experienced players with the exception of Pablo
    Jansson playing the dying swan
    Precious little movement especially in attacking areas
    No pace
    No pressing
    No anticipation
    Poor crosses
    Powder-puff tackling, rarely win 50/50 challenges
    Apart from our goal, not much hit the target
    Team selection
    Another defeat
    Four players giving their shirts to fans at the end of the game, hopefully none of them will wear a Leeds shirt again, unfortunately won't be the case.
    Diversions on the way home as the M62/M60 was shut. Witnessed every kebab/Indian/laundrette/ pawn/charity shop premises in the streets of Bury. Fog from Leeds to East Yorks. God does not smile on us Leeds fans :x

    8 Peacock-Farrell,
    2 Anita
    2 Jansson
    7 O’Connor
    2 Dallas
    3 Vieira
    3 Phillips
    7 Hernandez
    5 Roofe
    2 Ekuban
    4 Grot
    Subs
    4 Saiz
    3 Alioski
    6 Diaz

    And to cap it all we have to play again before the week is out! How cruel is that?
