I didn't see the game last night, was working, so I admit I only have what I have read on here to base this on.

Was Smith really that bad again?

I was at the QPR match and he was bloody awful! I posted on here afterwards that was the case and got berated about it. Even told I wasn't a real fan!
I still can't believe that people are defending him and as for 'hoofing it for him to winner headers when defenders get worn out' as one poster put it. He can't jump or head, well against QPR he couldn't. Besides isn't that what everyone came on here and said about Warnock?!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I was there last night and yes he did look poor. It looks like he has put on a bit of weight since the first game of the season and is struggling to carry it . Hopefully he will work it off. He should be playing in the development squad to get fit

Agree0 Disagree0

O.p here.i hope he does get it shifted and if that means dev. Squad for a bit then fine.im sure Brian saw enough in him t make him worth the signing, as he appears to be an excellent judge of talent.MOT

At the game last night and although I`m still in shock from the 7 minutes of extra time, its so obvious we need some sort of winger. For all the good work Luke does, when we get the ball on halfway no one has the ability or confidence to even try and take on the full back. Its another long season I`m afraid.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Still in shock too. The board said four minutes and they scored after seven. The referees watch must have stopped

I no Brian has stated that he wants a winger, But I feel we would have won the game last night if we had a clinical finisher at the club, Alf Billy Sharpe Guddeti any 1 off these players would take us to the play offs. Some people may say we don't make enough chances, but Last night Varney got away and pulled it back across the box no player there it happend on a few acassions. We also could sign a attacking midfielder and play Ross up top. The thing is I don't think we are far off giving it a real go this year. 1 more good player and we would have a very real chance IMO

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree totally, a finisher is what we need Guidetti would be a good shout

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont need to sign an attacking midfielder we have the best one in the league on the bench.

I trust McDermotts judgement but I personally would play Diouf there with Varney and McCormack up top.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pleased with B McD overall. Long term project and someone we have to support. However, I was baffled from the beginning of the Morison out- Hunt in saga. Yes Hunt works hard but I have literally no idea why we shipped out a potential goalscorer to bring in Hunt who has an awful goal record. He's just not good enough. Still no goals and doesn't look like getting any. SURELY it's time for Diouf for a bit of guile or Poleon just to make something happen, even if he is a bit of a roadrunner!

im just hoping after losing in the last minute we don't go on a run of last min losses

Believable0 Unbelievable0

2 defeats out of three
We are hard to beat.
We and mcd know what we need
Remains to be seen if we get it, though
Gotta juggle front line or even formation to include diouf and couple of youngsters.
Gonna be a tight league and a bit of pace and prolific will get us out0

Anyone else at the game last night and who wondered what Warnock was doing walking off with a minute to go!? quietest sending off ever.

Best player on the pitch last night was the often criticised Luke Varney. He jumped higher than Smith [who can't jump] and won virtually every ball. Him and Ross both put in good shifts as did the rest really.

Pearce missed by a fraction a minute before they scored. Such is the difference between misery and mirth

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I was there last night and agree 100%. Smith looks out of his depth to me. Varney ran and ran, heads the ball well. thought we`d scored then a sickening blow at the other end. Gutted.

Agree0 Disagree0

We needs to bring Morison back and send millwall Noel hunt on loan because he will be lucky to score 5 goals this season if he is lucky where as Morison has abit more quality at finishing or if we don't do that then I think we need someone like billy sharp on loan .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Sep 2013 10:03:27
i don't think we have the option to bring morison back .we could play diouf where mccormack is playing and push mccormack in attack or even play diouf in the attack rather than hunt . I think hunt is a good sub at best

Agree0 Disagree0

I for one am pleased with the start to the season bmb seems to have got the players working for each other andwe may have lost 2games but only by the odd goal so it shows theyare fighting in games which was not the case last season under nw.whats tour views on this.

Agree0 Disagree0

How many more times do fans on this site need telling that steve morison never wanted to be at leeds and when he did play all he ever did was miss sitters every game let him stay at millwall

Agree0 Disagree0

Yet again, Leeds' impotence in front of goal shown up for all to see. If you don't score goals, you can't win games. Brian, we need a goalscorer and we need one quickly. The loan market is open, you need to act now. Unless a goalscorer is brought in on loan, it's going to be a very long season fighting downwards for us.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

While I agree and it's very plain to see we need a goalscorer, we don't know that BM has the funds to bring another player in loan or not.

I'm sure if it was that easy he would have done so by now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Youre talking the obvious, and you're just again nit-picking around the good start we've had, stop being so fickle

Agree0 Disagree0

every1 jumping off the bandwagon already tut tut oh my god we dropped points away and are now a massive 1 point off the play off we lost an away game to promotion contender but listen are we after forgetting how strange this league is we lost one nil albeit could of got a point pick up 3 v burnley and we're laughing again relax people one or two loan signings till jan and we'll be ok our broke ass arabs will surely have something sorted by then for a couple of signings! PLEASE GOD!
look at millwall for instance who would of thought they would hammer blackpool? bet that blew a few dockets! stand by the lads because they are trying their heart out every team can have a bad game and i'm not jumping off the wagon just yet bring on burnley! and yes we need a winger or 2 and a stiker byram back soon be like a new signing need diouf in for saturday don't care what people think he's our most creative player!

I don't think losing to a goal 6 minutes into injury time as reading is a disaster - they'll likely be up there at the end of the season. Everybody knows we're missing a couple of players to finish off the squad & BMcD has been open enough to admit this. We can't go out & simply sign the players we want at what ever cost anymore, he's doing it slowly & I personally don't have an issue with that because I can see an improvement from last year. Maybe we won't score enough goals & make the play offs this year but I trust the club to resolve this issue in jan or next summer. I'd be more worried if they hadn't identified the problem. Some will agree, some will disagree - all have our opinions, mine is don't stress too much about this season, enjoy it & be patient, more likely that next season will be the season we kick on once we've had another 12 months to pick up the players we need.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Cant speak for anyone else but I won't be enjoying watching us hanging on for 1-0 wins, or hoping the opposition don't score at 0-0, were talking a quality striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

I do agree, we need a good striker but not sure where we will find one at the moment. I'd happily give Morrison another go if he's fit & we can recall him but I know others wouldn't touch him with a long pole. I think we need someone who can create things too as we aren't creating much for the strikers we do have. Again though we will have to work within the restraints.

Agree0 Disagree0

Played 7 league games and only scoring 6 goals speaks for itself.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

QPR top of the league, played 7 league games and only scored 7 goals. Your point is? We could only score another 39 goals this season, but who cares if we only win 1-0.

Yes we have just lost 2 games against teams come back down from the prem (only just lost both of these games)
Also played Brighton, Bolton Away, Ipswich Away (not won for x amount of years), Leicester away and sheff wed. not done too bad if I am being honest. If someone had said we would have eleven points from the opening 7 games I don't think I would be able to pick that many points from these games.

Keep the faith and stop moaning after every defeat/draw. We wasnt going to win all 46 games after all was we?

Who do you think he will play left back saturday White or Drury

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Sep 2013 06:16:38
Drury I would of thought as he is a solid player and can get some good crosses in which white can't do {Ed013's Note - He is injured at the minute}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hunt or smith hopefuly

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Sep 2013 00:14:11
Im sorry but until we get a proven goalscorer we ain't going anywhere, I've said it before and I'll say it again

McCormack - Overrated and not good enough, should have sold him when we had the chance
Poleon - Not good enough
Smith - Certainly not good enough
Hunt - Never scored more than 10 a season - not good enough.

Morison - good enough, but playing for a rival team - work that one out?

Becchio - good enough but sold him - work that one out?

But BMcD is doing a good job. err. the jury is still out for me.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Sep 2013 06:24:39
McCormack is a good player but can't score all the time he's more of a creative player . We do need a main striker I don't feel poleon is a cf but a rw in a 3 man attack . Our problem is we still haven't replaced beckford or gradel which is a disgrace as they have been gone for so long . I see wells as a good replacement for beckford but probably left things too long and he will be sold for a big fee.

Agree0 Disagree0

We know all this. We will get a striker in January, have patience. Rome was not built in a day.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mccormack is good enough, poleon good squad player and morison is the worst there

Agree0 Disagree0

I stopped reading as soon as I saw "McCormack overrated and not good enough".

TeejLUFC

Agree0 Disagree0

Mccormack has scored more goals I think 3 times more goals than Morison despite playing in midfield and Morison upfront.

So yes I suppose Morison is good enough and McCormack isnt, that is definitely the conclusion any intelligent football fan would come to based on the evidence. Well done my friend nice to know other clever fans exist.

Agree0 Disagree0

2009-2011 Championship Stats
Steve Morsion
Games - 83
35 Goals -
Average 17.5 per season, 0.42 PER GAME

2008-2010 Championship stats
Ross McCormack
Games 74
25 Goals
Average 12.5 per season, 0.33 per game.

Steve Morsion wins

At this level and given Morison played for an inferior team in Millwall not Cardiff, I'd take Morsion above McCormack anytime. Oh, and for those 'football experts' on here, do the same comparison on assists and Morison wipes the floor with McCormack.

Agree0 Disagree0

Great comparison that, McCormack has scored 3 times more goals than Morison, that's it, that's your comparison? What an person, over how long in what leagues? And your slating the intelligence of others. And he thinks he plays in midfield as well! How to make yourself look a fool in one easy post.

Agree0 Disagree0

And Morison has played in the Premier League. McCormack hasn't.

Not looking good for your beloved Ross is it?

Overrated is the only word.

Agree0 Disagree0

Who cares how good Morison is or isn't? fact of the matter is he never wanted to play for Leeds. end of.

Agree0 Disagree0

You clearly never watched Morison play for Leeds then. he is woeful.

I bet if Rosco was scoring more this stupid statistic wouldn't be posted
