Good start to the season! I like how we set out push are wide men onto both fullbacks prevents fullbacks pushing on, we need cover at centre back, let's move Pugh and Norris on . We need a striker I fear if rossco gets injured we have no cover polean raw but great pace, smith raw needs time at this level! MOT flight 609 google it!

Are you forgetting diouf he can play upfront and think he would be perfect in the number 10 role the same as McCormack and can pass the ball as good as McCormack maybe better and he has quite a shot on him the problem is he's a bit of a d**k head.
Del Boy

Obviously you haven't seen any pre-season. Ross being playing in the hole behind 2 strikers (Varney, Hunt, Poleon, Smith). White has also being playing in the number 10 role. Diouf can play there too. We need a centre half.

There's only 1 Michael Brown
There's only 2 Michael Brown's
There's only 3 Michael Brown's
There's only 4-98 Michael Brown's
There's only 99 Michael Brown's

I'm not sure if this is some new chant but I thought the song was
Number 1 is Michael brown
Number 2 is Michael brown and so on
Then we start singing we all dream if a team of Michael brown a team of Michael brown.
Del Boy

Michael Brown was MOM against
Chesterfield!
Steve H. {Ed013's Note - As it stands he is also the Clubs leading scorer, well 1 of 4 ;-)

No it is there was one michael brown
there were 2 michael brown's and so on. {Ed013's Note - There may be many versions, the one I hear in the Kop is number 1 is Michael Brown, number 2 is Michael Brown, number 3 is Michael Brown number 4 is .................... to the theme of the Beatles Yellow Submarine and it has got to 99! We all dream of a team of Michael Browns etc}

We shouldn't sell Ross, we should get a good striker to add to him and a speedy winger.
But in reality if gfh can't afford anything else I'd take selling him if it ment getting le fondre or someone as good as him,
We won't score many with Varney and hunt.
One way or another we need a goalscorer. Grant holt would have been good. He will be prolific.
What about keeping what we have a getting billy sharp on loan.
We need a poacher. shrew leeds

Yes I'd get Billy Sharp on loan. Good call. JD.

If Morrison would of stayed we wouldn't need a goalscorer or sell ross he will score atleast 15 goals for millwall

Billy sharp hates Leeds.there's another Billy that plays for Valky thistle. Knocks em in for fun. Irish kid. BNF knows of him

Lee chapman hated leeds but that didn't stop him from joining us did it and look how good he did

Varney and Hunt are real grafters. We've got a great team spirit at the moment. Why is there so much negativity? Those 2 and Ross, Smith & Poleon will all chip in with goals. We'll get them from midfield too with Murphy. We need a centre back. Get the defence sorted first.

I agree tickets are selling slowly for Saturday, any televised game should be a cat b.times are hard and travel is expensive

12 Aug 2013 22:17:14
Ticket sales so slow rathet than new board going down to meet fans the fans will be allowed up to directors box to meet the new board!

12 Aug 2013 18:10:53
Great game yesterday, fans was fantastic and a well deserved point. Smith looks a bit hopeless to be honest gave a lot away( off sides and fouls) but room for improvement. Thought pearse has stood up to the mark and done a good job. Peltier lacks that attack down the wing that young Sam gives. Also poleon looks dangerous when he is on and would like to see him start.see ya sat buddy's Neil Hearsum

Pearce and Peltier a liability. hopefully Sam can cure one problem, and Peltier shows he is a better Cg than RB

12 Aug 2013 21:44:39
How can u say Pearce was a liability when he help hold 1 of the leagues best attacking teams to a 0-0 draw he did a good job at the back. Don't no what some people watch at the game seriously.

How can you come to that conclusion after Smith being on for around 10 minutes. He won the ball in the air, nearly laid on a goal for Green and caused some concern to their centre backs. The lad's young and needs more experience. He's not the only one who has strayed offside playing for us, and he won't be the last. He's also not the only one who can't control the ball (past and present) Chapman was the same, yet look at the amount of goals he scored. Give the lad a chance, he's young and inexperienced, but wanting to play for our club.

13 Aug 2013 13:13:10
That's why I said room for improvement

12 Aug 2013 13:05:41
I suppose gordon greer was the player bmd was talking last week. Since he's signed a new deal at brighton turning down bids from us

12 Aug 2013 18:04:41
I suppose that shows how far we have fallen! We've spent all summer chasing Gordon Greer and just to top it off we've not got him.

12 Aug 2013 10:24:17
Yesterday's game emphasised the desperate need for a winger, quality of crosses was poor. Good point nevertheless. MOT

Everyone doubting my inside information and calling me Johnfitsy blah blah blah. showed my class by telling you ALL about ruddy being captain well before the Leicster game. (ED post this on rumours so all them calling me a rubbishter can see, thanks).

You showed your class?. then you lost it again by posting on here like a baby. A well educated guess would have led most of us to Austin being captain. Now, if you really do have inside info tell us the identity of the 4th mystery signing. no?

I'm sorry but ruddi ain't going to be captin next week it'll be another person like McCormack or warnock because the last game green was captin the peltier so ruddi probably won't be the captin for the rest of the season.
Del Boy {Ed013's Note - Austin is the new Club Captain}

Looks like it was brighton skipper Greer

Okay ill show my class again. The mystery 4th signing was Gordon Greer from Brighton, but they wouldn't let him leave. BOOM. I have inside info, and proved everyone wrong here FACT!

12 Aug 2013 14:05:05
At various times over the last couple of months youve said your "contacts" had said we'd be signing, Roger Johnson, Kevin Doyle, Titus Bramble, Stephen Hunt, Chris Humphrey (who signed for Preston) ALF, Nathan Delfounso, Albert Adomah (who signed for Boro) Matt Mills, Fran fielding (who signed for Bristol City) Gary Mackay-Stevens, Johnny Russell (who signed for Derby) Matt Kilgallon (who signed for Blackburn) Ryan Hall was off to Everyon, Sunderland or Hull, Brown was leaving on a free to take up a coaching role which so far have all proved rubbish. Only correct thing you've said so far is about Matt Smith signing for us. let's be honest, half of twitter & FB had suggested Austin would be the new captain back when Peltier said last month in the YEP he might not keep the armband so think you can stop patting yerself on the back until a few of the targets you've named sign on the dotted line.

Thanks for the update on Greer Adamstani07. After speaking with MY contact at Leeds I can confirm we won't be signing Suarez either. Boom - factamundo - you heard it here first! Keep checkin my updates for more top secret info on players we won't be signing shortly after they've gone public to announce signing newc contract at their current club!

Brighton have posted that they have turned down bids for Greer, you only have to be able to read to know that. Your predictions are guesses, mainly way off the mark. BOOM to you

12 Aug 2013 15:50:54
hey gary kelly left foot, not my fault the lack of investment or better offers elsewhere made us lose targets. And unlike twitter I wasnt guessing about Austin. I knew he was going to be announced club captain this season and that's why I posted it on here well before Leicster game.

We'll off the mark del boy, you plonker! couldn't resist! ;-)

Can you tell us what are the 39 steps

Proved your class! lol
Chapel a, shrew, irish white, Ausman, the fallen giant are all names on here with some respectability but you. YOU'RE JUST A JOKE!
In fact why don't you change your sign-off name to one more appropriate like amastandupcomediani
BOOM!
Now you carry on obtaining valuable intel from your inside sources (the voices in your head) and leave the serious stuff to us grown ups.
The Fat Man

Showed my class with Matt Smith and Ruddy Austin. Still have doubters, I reckon its jealousy of my inside knowledge within the club.

I mentioned about austin possibly been a outside bet for the captaincy a couple of weeks ago and got shot down one post said why would he get it when he can't speak english like that makes a difference

12 Aug 2013 07:03:27
What's people think about letting poleon start against Sheffield Wednesday? I think it's worth a go with his pace and attacking threat!

For Wednesday my midfield trio would be Austin, Murphy & Tonge and my attackers would be McCormack, Varney & Poleon. So far Hunt hasn't really looked the threat that Poleon has and I think Smith requires wingers to unlock his full potential. Tonge instead of Green would add that bit of creativity to the midfield.

Leeds utd have been playing 4-2-1-2-1 and McCormack has been playing as an attacking midfielder or the number 10 role if you like and we haven't been playing winger and it should we should be playing very narrow. And I think vs Sheffield wed we should have smith and varney up front because they have a big centre back Gardner so smith would be perfect and leave poleon on the bench as an impact player. Del Boy

Agree stanners. Poleon and smith and a new winger too.

Disagree again del boy, I understand what u say with Smith but what will varney bring that poleon won't? Yes he is a grafter but poleon will run all day aswell, and as a striker u don't always want him dropping to deep so to catch them on counter! McCormack will do the dropping deep, perfect time to help bring poleon along! Just my opinion mate

Excellent point today, matched Leicester man for man even though they have paid a fortune for their team, BMc bringing the best out of our only average team. We would probably have not scored even if we were still playing but defensively we were strong well done to them. Three or four new first team players and the others dropping to the bench would mean we have a real good chance of play offs and a strong squad, I would hate to see a couple of injuries and suspensions we would be struggling. Come on and let's make this a season to remember. A few more signings please
