Yesterday's game was totally embarrassing for all Leeds fans. Comparisons will be drawn to last year's result at Sutton however this for me was worse as the team TC put onto the pitch were players from the first team squad, not a load of kids as of last year. The effort and endeavour from most of the players was appalling (except Berardi) as they were out worked and out played by a side that were near the bottom of league 2 last season. Special mention for Borthwick-Jackson and Lassoga who took being not bothered to an entirely new level, both of these players should be shipped back to their clubs post haste. It seemed that the player's had in their minds that they just needed to turn up against a side that we had comfortably beat in the League Cup not 6 months ago. This attitude stems from a naïve Head Coach who obviously had not studied the opposition or the environment in which the game was being played. If he had done his homework he would not have matched a physical Frank Nouble against the snowflake that is Vernon Anita, he would have thought about how to supply two Centre forwards with creativity in midfield, he would have considered being a tad more direct as the pitch represented a farmer's field. "Blame me" says TC. "I made a number of changes and it worked against Burnley" says TC. It worked because Burnley also changed most of their team and neither side had any continuity in their play. To make matters worse, out idiot of a Head Coach decides to rest the majority of our starting eleven (why they need 2 weeks rest is beyond me) but decides to bring on our Jewel in a game that did not suit his abilities, the result being he gets sent off and banned for 6 weeks. Try telling us now TC that you think the squad is good enough and no recruitments are required in January without you best player until the back end of February.

Good post Notts. Like you say, TC's major error was bringing on Saiz. He double downed on his mistakes. Worryingly, there is a lack of passion and a lack of steel in this team. CBJ was a terrible addition to the squad and as for PML his laziness is infecting the rest of the first team when they play. Makes you think what is going on during training? This is the most crucial transfer window probably in our history because playoffs or 2nd still achievable.

Well said Notts, but sadly nothing looks like changing. Another few weeks and our season could well be over at this rate

Good posts above, but you can not blame TC for Saiz’s sending off. You don’t expect any footballer to spit at an opponent never mind a professional. That habit is disgusting and he deserves his six week ban, Saiz can be very petulant when he wants. If he had set up a goal or two instead of letting himself, the club, fans and the sport down would TC have come in for the stick he is getting for that decision? I think not. However, i do blame TC for making too many changes and making our club a laughing stock again.

Speedo there were a lot of changes but I don't remember an outcry prior to kick off. That team, on paper, were still good enough to beat a mid table league two outfit. The pitch/ploughed field was not conducive to a passing game so we had to swap skill for guts and determination. That blatantly did not happen.
