Is it just me or is anybody else sick to the back teeth of TC and his post match “there are a lot of positives to take from this defeat” TC I’m sorry but there are no positives anymore from a defeat, there are no shining moments and until that time stop saying it! At least stop patronising us Leeds fans, I for one want some honesty, if he says yes we were bad and we need signings then let’s get on with it but please ffs stop saying everything is rosy when it obviously isn’t! Fed up with this dross in and off the field!

13 Jan 2018 23:06:51
Well be honest yourself them Mike there was positives to take from today's game. Like the fact that even with 10 men we were unlucky not to come away with at least a point

14 Jan 2018 00:09:12
2 shots on target Wex! Less possession! Only 1 corner! In fact there were not many of the stats that went in our favour! We played a team that are weak and in a bad losing run, but as usual we don’t turn up! Wex, while I respect you and your posts, you really can’t take positives from 2 shots on target, one corner and a sending off, we should be winning and we are not!

No positives from losing mate, non at all! I am not going to become one of those, “oh yea we lost but there were loads of positives to take from it”! “Oh yea we were poor today but lots of positives to take away with me”! We will have to change our song eh Wex “Marching on Together with lots of positives to take”!

Or maybe change our “Leeds, Leeds, Leeds” to “Positives, Positives, Positives, we going to see you win”! It’s about it was said as it is! I’m sick of onwards and upwards, it’s time it was forward only!

Mike, everyone can see exactly what you are saying and agree with you, the only thing is, he is already looking at the next fixture and trying to get the mentality right . He has got to think of team moral, if he came out and said what he really thought would he get the players to play for him in the next match ? The day of reckoning for the players after these performances comes when they are no longer wanted by the club and have to find another club.

14 Jan 2018 08:03:35
Mike games are not all about stats and of course they were going to have more possession when playing 10 men

14 Jan 2018 13:57:41
I'm with you Wex, lots of criticism on here about TC whatever he does. Yesterday was always going to be tough without Saiz, Ayling and viera and very tough after Okane and we lost by one goal! Let's get behind the manager and the players and hold off on criticising what we have done in the window until it has closed and we really know how it has gone. I'm enjoying the season, I'm seeing positive changes at the club and I think we are better run than under bates or cellino. Still mistakes, still things to improve on, but going in the right direction. Remember winning and losing together!

14 Jan 2018 15:41:05
So we’re a one team player now that’s good says it all

14 Jan 2018 16:18:15
Good logical post Spanish. By my reckoning, Saiz, Ayling, and Viera are 3 players? And three very important players to our team! A couple of well selected players this window, if the right price, will see us staying in the mix right up until the fat lady bursts into singing MOT!

13 Jan 2018 20:02:30
Didn't get to see the game. What did O'Kane do?

13 Jan 2018 20:09:37
O'Kane gave Ipswich 3 points!

13 Jan 2018 20:23:09
Head butted their lad right in front of the referee! I hope someone belted him in the changing rooms absolute cucking funt

13 Jan 2018 20:59:21
Watched the incident wasn't much in it I thought

13 Jan 2018 21:04:43
Hardly touched him, and the lad went down like a sack of turds. but again, like Samu, he simply shouldn't have done it!

13 Jan 2018 21:19:57
Doesn't matter if there wasn't much in it or if he hardly touched him the fact I am he knows he can't move his head towards another player like that! Especially with are already existing issues with suspensions and injuries and lack of action in those areas (midfield, attack) in the transfer market a set yet. He's a brainless fool for what he did away from home in a game we could and needed to win before the run of games we have coming after milwall

13 Jan 2018 18:47:32
What was O'Kane thinking of, if he was thinking at all. Is he Samus best mate? Do they have a holiday in Spain booked for this week? If so can Cibicki carry their bags?

13 Jan 2018 19:12:38
O Kane incident didn't seem like much but in saying that he made no appeal when card shown

13 Jan 2018 19:33:50
Don't think Cibicki has the strength to carry more than one (very light) bag :)

13 Jan 2018 18:29:36
I agree that possibly signings are required, now, but I do not want panic buying. I do not want a knee jerk reaction. I would rather we struggle on with what we have than buy the wrong player or pay over the odds. If the right man cannot be found (at the right price) then let's just accept mid table and just try our best with what we have for the rest of the season. I do not think for one minute that we have a bad team. At times we have an ordinary team that can play top 2 football. The main thing they lack is consistency, to which you may add discipline. We (famous last words) will not implode and slide into the relegation zone so let's bite the bullet and just consolidate this year.

13 Jan 2018 18:33:20
AGAIN

13 Jan 2018 18:04:16
As predicted - a loss. If it isn't lack of creativity or quality in front of goal it's lack of discipline. We have too many shortcomings. I think we were shading it in the first half then lost O'Kane. We were again shading it in the second but missed the chances we they came. You know that with this team they will concede in situations like this. We did at Newport and we have done it again. Ipswich were not good and were come off the back of three straight defeats. Playing like this we are in for a torrid couple of months. Mid table at best unless we bring in some quality. Losogga, Sacko need to go. Grot out on loan. So no Saiz, no Aling, no O'Kane. Vierrra just recovering as is Dallas. Chisbikki (can't spell it) out I think for a bit. We have just about eleven starters - no back up. Substitutions will not provide any game changers although I think some of TC's ideas in this respect are bizarre anyway.

13 Jan 2018 18:33:57
Good post Hess. Can't really disagree. May even add a couple of names to your "out" list

13 Jan 2018 17:38:04
What a brainless so and so O'Kane must be! We are injury depleted already, minus one player for six weeks due to indiscipline and he does that! I think we are cursed! I am dreading the rest of the season unless we recruit a proven goal keeper, centre back, centre forward and holding midfielder. I am usually a glass half full person but I'm finding it hard to be positive. We can't score and we concede too many. Desperate! Here's hoping the mess can be sorted and soon.

13 Jan 2018 17:23:45
Most predictable score line of the day would have happened with 11 men never mind 10, TC as to take some blame where so negative and predictable both home and away we've once again got poor players lumbered on long contracts Orta should be sacked, Radrizzani as a big decision to make in the summer sit down with TC and spend big or new man and spend big without Orta's interference, we need a big new spine and its going to cost money so is a striker and a keeper. Radrizzani as been good and it's a learning curve for him but he'll after learn fast cheap Europeans aren't the answer in this league any signing is a gamble but leaving it to Orta is the biggest gamble and risk of all.

13 Jan 2018 17:43:14
Many have said that this is a five year plan, this season lost with this team Rad should stop spending now, take a long hard look open his close eyes then sack Orta, Put TC in charge of the under 21 as a manager for the future, them to bring in someone who has the knowledge, send all loan players back and keep the money that would have been paid, start again next season, I know what some will say that we are one point of the play offs even if we get in the top six can’t see us winning. with this team.

13 Jan 2018 17:45:39
As a longtime Leeds fan, the writing is on the wall. I said last week that the manager is not what is needed and the team has the wrong players. The Championship is a tough, physical league for experienced Premiership and Championship stalwarts set for a gruelling season with obviously more than 7 matches. when Leeds were top of the league! Unfortunately the owner is out of his depth as is the manager. You buy second-rate that's what you get! Game's up chaps. mid table is the best we can do. I take no pleasure in saying I've a start of the season bet on this with hard earned wages once I researched Christiansens' background.

13 Jan 2018 17:11:01
Groundhog day once again, oh look Fulham moving up the table for a push at the play offs. Wish They Would Change the film, how about back to the future.

13 Jan 2018 19:01:02
Very funny Mezzer! 😂🤣😂🤣

13 Jan 2018 16:36:05
Bloody rubbish
There are no other words

13 Jan 2018 16:40:09
In fact I give up
Team and board just don’t get it
Roll on next season and the next and the next
Oh hang on. I’ll be 75 in 25 year and prob won’t know what football even is. So I guess all is going to be ok.

13 Jan 2018 17:04:07
Don't be negative we are building for the future. Going to be some future.

13 Jan 2018 17:05:02
That game was there for the taking. If I were Pontus I'd go straight into the dressing room and chin O'Kane

13 Jan 2018 17:15:18
TC and the board fiddles while Leeds burn the policy of signing for the future is fine as long as we have the talent for here and now our bench today is poor the likes of Lassoga, Grot, Cibicki need gone and players for now brought in very disappointing at how its going

13 Jan 2018 15:50:18
O’Kane off; why oh why do we make it difficult for ourselves

13 Jan 2018 16:07:22
We have some 🥜 in this team

13 Jan 2018 16:11:12
Sent off for an off the ball slap or elbow, c h I l d I s h

13 Jan 2018 16:18:59
I can't believe how naive some of our 'professional' footballers are. rule no.1 keep 11 players on the pitch. doh!

13 Jan 2018 16:20:40
Is David O'Leary still around Elland Road?

13 Jan 2018 19:03:34
He works in the Hot Dog van opposite!

13 Jan 2018 15:45:17
Okane! Another one we are losing for 3 matches, what is up with our players. Going to be a tough second half now.

13 Jan 2018 14:42:44
Not expecting much from this game. If we get a draw that would be good but I am expecting worse. Much worse. I hope I'm wrong.

13 Jan 2018 16:43:28
Hessian, well your right it’s poor bloody poor

13 Jan 2018 13:42:28
Why do we need to recall a loan player when we have a right back already (playing out of position) . Just play Dallas at LB. He can tackle and no problem with him getting forward.

13 Jan 2018 12:40:15
Apparently my predictions are prophetic, or at least I think that's what they said. I am going for 2-0 to us, which probably means were fluked.

13 Jan 2018 07:19:29
So TC has grown a pair and said we now need a striker (very unlike him) I get the feeling one must be in the pipeline for him to publicly speak about it. thoughts on today's game people, hope I am wrong but with the players out injured/suspended I can see it being a long 90 mins for us. a point would be a good result. 🤞🤞
