    I respect your opinion, however, my view is that it isn't Cellino's right but should be down to the people he employed to make those footballing decisions.

    Of course it's Cellinos right. He owns the whole show. He paid for it and can do
    Whatever he wants with it

    Exactly. If the fans are so pissed with the owners, it's simple, empty the piggy banks and buy the club. Bet Twitter would go quiet st that suggestion

    How best to describe the match.............shamefull.

    Best description, Leeds lost 2-1, Brighton didn't play like unbeaten league leaders and Rosler, well, what can you say about Rosler, rubbish, useless and clueless comes to mind.

    First 30 minutes or so I thought Rosler had told the players to play touch football. The passing was choppy at best with most passes made with a "hope for the best" attitude. There didn't seem to be any control, tactics or plan and looked like we didn't have a set formation but a free for all school yard football match.

    Brighton didn't play like they were unbeaten league leaders, but they took their chances when given, we didn't, which seems to be the norm at moment; I think Brighton may have given the fat lady a few under the table backhanders to keep her onside.

    Brighton's first goal, imo shouldn't and wouldn't have happened if Berardi had been in his best position, it seemed a half hearted sluggish tackle attempt by Bamba, and Wootton couldn't catch their goal scorer, you could see in his body language and facial expression he was struggling, and doesn't seem fit enough to play RB. Brighton scored 2 goals, both down Woottons side.

    What Rosler was thinking bringing in Wootton is anyones guess, an half eaten Bratty would've had more sense.

    Took Brighton only 14 minutes to score but we did seem to pick up a bit afterwards, only a bit mind, nothing to put on the Andy Pandy highlights show though.

    We clawed our way back to level the match around 10 minutes later with what seemed a good header by Cooper, let's hope Wood was watching as I think he's a Rosler favourite and may well be playing regularly as our single Morison / Sharp play alike striker.

    They say Antenucci is not a lone striker, and I agree, but neither is Wood it seems, he gets lost, marked heavily and has a pointed head, he doesn't seem to know how to make space for himself or lose his marker. After Wood had scored 3 goals, I said he was a Billy Sharp type striker, and he seems to be turning out that way.

    After the match I switched over to listen to Eddie Gray, and he made some very good points but, there was a lady guest commentator in box with him, she said we're not a single striker team and should revert to having 2 strikers up front, and I heavily agreed with her; maybe we should sign her up as our soon to be next coach.

    Second half saw us pick up the pace and we began to play with a bit more intensity than Brighton (a red hot poker up the arse will do that) but we didn't have the finished product any where, not one player was providing the finished product, which is another of our problems along with our midfield.

    How did Wood miss a sitter only a couple of yards out from their goal, pointy head, that's how.

    Towards the end of the second half Brighton did pick up their own pace, but nothing special and only after Cooper limped off injured, and while the game looked to be heading for a draw with 5 minutes + injury time left to play it seemed both teams would be happy with a draw, untill Zamora popped up (Woottons side) with all time in world to chip Silvestri and put Brighton 2-1 up to virtually seal the match; Brighton took advantage while our players don't even know how to spell it.

    Silvestri, not to blame for the goals and pulled off a couple of good saves.

    Defence, shabby is best way to describe it with Wootton in side and Bamba once again playing below par. Berardi did a good job at LB and Cooper played a good game, best he's played in a while. They need to take the Captains arm band off Bamba.

    Midfield, Brighton weren't at their best, but they still managed to run through our midfield, their first goal came through midfield, as did a lot of their build up play; I'd say opposing coaches have worked that out and know it's one of our weak spots.

    Botaka started on left and didn't seem to be doing too well untill he switched back to the right side and played a lot better. Botaka seems to be slowly improving with every match, which poses the question, why the hell did Rosler bring him off when he was worrying Brightons defenders. What we missed down right side was the Berardi / Botaka sync play, it seems to be there and will improve. Rosler, shut door on way out.

    Mowatt, just made up numbers imo, brought next to nothing to game.

    Adeyemi, didn't have a brilliant game but didn't seem to have a bad game either, needs to find that higher gear more regularly though.

    Dallas, was doing some good work untill subbed, I'm hoping the previous international game may have caught up with him a bit as I don't think he deserved to be subbed, but someone had to be, Wootton jumps to mind.

    Cook, did a lot of running but more often than not hit brick walls, there was no umph or finishing, he had no finished product.

    Wood, not our best striker imo, seems to be the type of striker who has to have the ball put on his boot, his pointy head doesn't help either.

    Antenucci on as sub, couldn't seem to get into the game, not surprising as our finishing seemed to end up with Brighton getting the ball back, or gifted.

    Byram, doesn't seem to have any interest, or has lost it.

    Buckley, didn't really have much of an impact when he came on.

    Rosler, useless and clueless.

    I'm starting to sense disheartenment in some players, not rebellion but disheartenment, it's like they're not clicking with Rosler and his coaching staff.

    I can hear the fans singing "Rosler out, Rosler out" over the horizon, and the wind is blowing our way.

    All up, not an exciting game to watch, and our home performance was in Cellar.

    Unless he actually went it is the work of a fantasist. 90% plus of it could not possibly be determined accurately without being there. Even then it would be subjective opinion....No wonder he gets trolled off JA. Whack job! :emoticon-0181-fubar

    Byram - no idea if he deserves to be played at RB ahead of Wootton as Byram has also been awful this season but...

    Maybe Cellino has said "don't play him" as he doesn't want his value dropping any further so doesn't want him in the window, maybe he has an agreement with Sunderland and doesn't want him injured, just two possibilities.

    Me personally, I just wish we had a back-up LB rather than play two players out of favoured positions each time we have an injury.

    Don't think Cellino has said don't play him because if he had don't think he would be in squad,,just think he's gone that far down hill that Rosler thinks Woottons better,don't agree but not much in it,get rid of both as soon as possible.

    Wootton must be the worst right back in this division so a poor Byram would be much better plus if you watch highlights he saunters back from an attacking position,
    I noticed he did this at MKD get rid!

    Ok. So you're happy for the owner to treat the club like his personal train set, I happen to think it's more important to too many people for it to be treated like that.
    Unless I'm mistaken there is a fan group trying to raise funds to buy the club. I'm sure many others would like too but can't afford to.
