I can't really believe how many happy reports are on here. Yesterday was awful- from both sides. We never managed a shot on target until the 2nd half. And those happy about possession - well it's just great watching your side knock balls around 60 yards from the oppositions goal! We need WINGERS. We need PACE. Without that we are going nowhere! This conintental style will not work in the championship. Our wingers were Warnock & Berardi which meant we were playing 2-6-2 for much of the time leaving our c halves 2 on 2 on many occasions. And the opposition haven't won at home for over a year! Let's face it if we are honest we should have lost to Bolton had it not been for Silvestre and had Thomas not missed a sitter of a header in the last minute we would have lost yesterday. It's going to be a long season. The lad Gray that came on for the Brum is a prime example of width and pace. He was the best player on the park for 20mins. Finally we need a MANAGER. I believe in Cellino & what he has done for Leeds already but please bring in an experienced manager and let him get on with it. Judge him by what he does then & let Redders carry on doing his fantastic job with the youngsters. Sorry guys this is just reality and my opinion. By the way the Leeds fans still the best in the world - especially when they were trying to fix the net! MOT. Ps we need to get rid of that kit too and get back to all yellow!

Brum beat Brighton at home earlier on in the season.
It's a new team, give it time before throwing your toys out the pram.

Phil - the reason most of us are positive and happy with yesterday`s performance is straight forward; we have not seen a Leeds team play FOOTBALL for a very very long time and tbh they were pretty good at it.

Things are on the up!

The happy one, MOT

Before we all jump on philin's back I think we have to take stock. philin makes some good valid points and everyone is intitled to an opinion and to vent feelings (if not for the fans there would be no football let alone leeds Utd) didn't see the game sadly but I think what makes us generally happy is while things may not be perfect at the moment everything seems to be going in the right direction the team is younger and looks like it might have a few bits of quality in it. something lacking since grayson left. Think MC still has a lot to do but is going the right way and so hopefully is the club. not great ATM but will be sooner or later (i think we will challegne for play offs this year!) and I am super grumpy but know my football (so I say) so fingers crossed at the moment we have hope something we have not had for a while and something I didn't have a few weeks back

Valley I am not throwing the toys out of the pram. I did that when Bates took over! Lol
And DualA1 - I agree it's great to watch football being played on the deck which it was. However there has to be an end result. But please just imagine you were Billy Sharp for a moment. As a striker would you be happy watching your team play footy 50yds from goal? He never got any service & was totally hacked off. You can't score from there. I just believe we have brought in some nice players but if a manager had done it then he would have added more balance. We need a couple of pacey wide men rather than the glut of central midfielders. And I must say our own boys of Cook &'Mowett were the best on show. I hope it pays off but sadly I don't think it will until we get width & a manager, not with that starting XI anyway. I really hope I am wrong. I must add though that the likes of Montenegro &!Adrayan may improve it somewhat and I agree with posts saying they all do need time which I accept too.
Bermond - thanks for the support. Love reading your posts mate. Keep em coming! Still & always MOT
