McCormack - 4 goals In 10 games on different positions if he was to keep this average he's looking at 18-19 goals in 46 games play him up front every game 20+ goal man in a season :) jobs a good un. Dodgy prediction but why not! MOT

Agree! And mayby more if he brushes up on his pens! ;-)

Thats what I like to see. Glass half full posts!
What do people think mcd best starting 11 is?

Definitely there's no reason why he can't get us that amount of goals, and I can't say ausman not seen enough games unfortunately but I would still without a doubt have diouf in there him McCormack and varney

Have said it before, if played in the right position he is out 20 goal striker. The others just need to contribute with 10+ each (Varney and Poleon)

We have been asking for another striker, I just think we need the right players to provide. 2 wingers needed, no striker. Maybe and AMC to fit the space he vacates, but we have Mowatt and Diouf in that position.

Bring on Derby

Ausman, if we are still using the diamond formation my team would be: G - Kenny, LB - Warnock, RB - Byram, CBs - Wooton & Lees/Pearce, DM - Green, RM - Austin, LM - Mowatt, CAM - Diouf, Str - McCormack & Varney/Poleon

Yeah agree and if smith can et a couple end of game goals to throw in aswell there shouldn't be a problem because we aren't conceding many at all, now mccormackd made that comment promising goals if he is up front I think we will definitely see him given a chance there. Like you say couple of wingers is all we need.

Kenny (GK), Byram (RB), Wooton (CB), Pearce (CB), Warnock (LB), Austin (DM), Mowatt (CM), Tonge (CM), Diouf (AMC), Mccormack (CF), Poleon (ST).

Notts. don't see many games but, don't think austin good enough and not sure diouf fit or hungry enough anymore

Agree with ausman, Austin can ave games where a passing ratio seem to be 0% a it usually mean he's giving it away on the half way line to stop any sort of attack and puts us on the backfoot.

Ausman, if you don't see too many games then why say you think Austin isn't good enough?

He's been brilliant all season. He covers more ground than anyone else and makes a lot of vital interceptions and tackles. I just wish he'd stop shooting from 30yds for no reason.

He's our captain and our only bit of bite in midfield. unless you count Brown.and I'd rather not count Brown.

Ausman, based on the current squad I would select Austin in the RM because I think he is better than Green, Tonge or Norris in this position. Ideally Rudy is better in the DM role however I think Green is not as affective as Rudy in RM and therefore should play DM. Diouf is slow however BMcD played Tonge in this role against Bournemouth and I would rate them as being similar pace wise. Ideally if BMcD continues with this formation then we should be looking for better quality in CAM and RM as well as a partner for Ross. Not asking for too much eh?

Leeds chairman just been on tv, don't expect promotion this season OR next season. He says there is a long term plan in place but not in the next two years. No players coming to push for promotion then!

Why does this guy come out and say things like this (evidently it is true though) but its a stupid thing to say good way to keep players and fans away

what a load of rubbish the moaning is getting boring now

To be fair as we know this leage can see anyone beat anyone, a plan is probably irrelevant as anything can happen. Come on boys stay faithful we have every chance despite our last few games.

Let's just support the mighty Leeds on Saturday at Derby. There won't be any signings coming in before hand so let's get behind who we have.

The board and McD have said there is money to spend to bring someone in. McD has said he's looking to get the right type of player rather than just bring someone who is available just for the sake of it.

The international break is coming up so no new players will come in until after that. Why waste 2 weeks of a loan period by not being able to use them and waste money paying for them? Common sense says wait a fortnight. The loan window doesn't close until the end of November. Let's be patient.

Too many people talking s*** on here and making up nonsense or spouting off rubbish that doesn't make any sense. Talking about getting rid of McD because we are on a bad run! What better manager is available to take his place? I can't think of any except Gus Poyet and I'd rather have McD. We would have to spend good money to buy someone out of a contract which wouldn't be viable at the minute.

CRMD

100 percent agree
look at next 6 games at least 12 points maybe more

Tony pulis

Tony Pulis? Are you serious? Got Stoke out of the championship fair enough but it's like bringing Warnock back

By pass the midfield with more high balls over their head.

Top post, applying sense and logic, which as you point out, is all too often lobbed out of the window in some posts.

McD is the man, and will prove it. What can't be forgotten additionally is that virtually the same squad is trying to play a different brand of football which takes time to come together. Pre season doesn't really make everything click when drastic changes in style of play are implemented. I'm confident all will be good under Brian!

No need to look anywhere else for a manager. I believe Brian will get this club where it wants to be. it just might not happen this season.

There is no one better than Brian for this club. I liked him very much at Reading, and I think we've been extremely lucky to get him. He's a proper, serious and honest football man. I think once he's got going with Leeds we'll be fighting other clubs off. And, such will be his success here, he'll want to stay. Could be the beginning of a fine era for both club and manager. Patience. PK

Save a couple of weeks wages here and there haha I bet abramovich had the same vision :p

Pulis might of made stoke play like that but it worked and they was a tough team to beat

Abramovic never had to use the loan market! If we got somebody in then he can't play over a busy period because his loan has expired then you will be complaining! #neverhappy

so bmd did not fancy matt fryatt went to watch him at hull matt went on loan to sheff weds and guess what last night he scored for wednesday are you sure you used to be a scout brian maybe you are a little rusty belly the white

One goal makes a season dose it? His injury record it v bad as well

And prior to his solitary goal last night, Fryatt hasn't scored for 17 months. A fully fit Matty Fryatt from three years ago, minus his debilitating injuries would have been a good choice, but not in his current condition.

Belly the white not fully fit and still scored in the championship I rest my case

Only a short term loan which is what BMD was avoiding

More spin out of ER . Investment close to coming in . Is this the same investment that David Haigh told us very close to happening back in May?

I for one will feel happy when we have a quality winger and striker . Common Brian, let's spend the money they tell us is available to you . This will give everybody a real lift

Investment confirmed! I bought two hats, a scarf and a putter cover from the shop. Get in!

On the positives. we won, we scored more than one goal, the team did not panic when Bournemouth equalised, the substitution of Poleon made an impact, Green and Mowatt played well. The negatives. Bournemouth were a poor side, we were playing the majority of the game against 10 men, we failed to react tactically when Bournemouth changed their shape, Tom Lees keeps switching off in games, McCormack spent the first half sulking, Tonge was running on empty for the last 30 mins and was not replaced and finally, apart from winning the penalty, Noel Hunt stank the place out. We clearly need additions to the squad and Mr Noodles said there was finances available however on the radio after the game BMcD got quite annoyed about the notion that we needed additional players. Is there money available or is BMcD reluctant to spend it? I hope it is not the latter because on this performance we are hardly ripping up trees

Good post mate, and what you forgot to add was that BMD's million pound man didn't even get on the pitch!
