Poor performance today. We need to take 3 points from games like these while the others in the top half are playing one another. Wrong time to lose against team at the bottom. Think we will be lucky to be in top six come May if we carry on like this. Def need striker and left wing/back. Alioski not cutting it on right either, he's been in and out all season. I say it every year but we will not get anywhere playing people out of position.

New Year’s Eve 6 points off automatic promotion with additions to make us better next year, I’ll take that thank you.

Like everyone on here I think Leeds Utd are the greatest football club in the world but at the moment we are not even the best team in Yorkshire. Off the field AR is putting right the wrongs of the last decade and for that he should be applauded as we have our club back and we are gaining the respect we lost under Bates and Cellino. On the field we are flattering to decieve I'm afraid, we are a top ten side on our day. Our best 11 has in my opinion only 6 players who would get into a title chasing side Ayling, Berardi, Pontus, RV, Pablo and Saiz. I would add O'Kane, Phillips, Alioski and Roofe as good squad players. We are desperate for a keeper, centre back, striker and a natural left back that seems to be the consensus of the majority of us. TC also has our backing and I for one hope he gets the support that gives him the players he wants along with the time. True we are in 5 th but our record against the top ten is not good and I want us to go up into the prem with a side that can compete and we are some way off that. This is not a rant because we have lost at Birmingham, I could have written it after last Saturday's poor showing against Hull, the truth is we are not as good as we think we are but a couple of quality additions along with some patience and AR continuing to do what he is doing and we will be back where we belong soon enough.

Willthewhite, this is a great post mate and says it all, we are no way near good enough at this time we need to invest in new players and I don’t mean spend millions, I have seen many teams this year who have spend less then we have and they are fighting which is more the our team Is doing at the moment, good luck to rads and Tc in the recruitment if they do go for a push but please look closer to home.

Not showing enough fight is not a problem the team have but a distinct lack of pace and power up front Leeds have also been one of the lower spending teams in Championship this season so here’s hoping that Rad can pull a big effing rabbit out of the hat in January!

New owner new manager new players. A manager from nowhere players nobody has heard of. We own our stadium again. This unknown manager and unheard of players have us competing in the toughest league there is. We are in a position in the league most fans would sell their first born to be in. Show some respect for this owner manager and players and be thankful for what we are doing. Many villa fans and Sunderland fans would love to be in our position. And remember not long ago were in league one without a bob to our name before calling on our club to break the bank for players

I totally agree with an earlier post saying we are in a false position! The fact being is we are and in truth we are no better than mid table or lower, it’s all down t experienced our recruiting and not addre our weak areas, goalkeeper, striker and a left side attacker/defender. The good thing is we are still in the top six, more through luck than good management. We need to address this NOW and no more buying for 3/4 years down the line, we need hit the ground running solid, experienced players. MOT

all you can do for a season is; win the next game. If we periodically drop points then maybe this year is not our year but what it does do is create a tight squad with the potential of a City, Wolves type season next year. The only Caveat being 2 or 3 quality signings January/summer. Having said all that I believe we already have the basics in the squad to go up, the main item we lack is - consistency.

Who’s Whitney Wex? Are you the Bodyguard? Wex, we are all entitled to say what we feel, it doesn’t mean we are right or wrong, it’s called having an opinion! Whiteman has been consistent with his posts all along and in truth he’s not the delusional one nor is he stupid! I am in awe of Radz, and what he has done for our club is immense, but the business that we are in is to win games, if not a win then at least to show our loyal fans that we are trying! It was rubbish today Wex and it’s been like that for the last few games, it’s not acceptable and things need changing! Whiteman is the least delusional and stupid person who posts, it’s delusional to think that all is well on the pitch, because it isn’t! MOT

Wex, yes I am delusional mate I am a Leeds fan, spent the best part of 50 years going to home and some away matches, spending thousands, is it delusional to expect to watch a team fight not just pull on a shirt and not be bothered that’s what I witnessed at Hull and unfortunately Brims yesterday, I am happy to have our home ground back and like Rads as much as the next person, It the game of football win and losing, and if we loss ok but let's lose having had a fight.

Nobody likes losing but sometimes you need a reminder that you cannot give an inch in this league. I bet all of the top/mid table teams playing the bottom half teams thought they were walking away with 3pts. Our lack lustre performance wasn’t helped by the naive team selection, although, I kind of get what TC was trying to achieve. Too many underachieving today - tired? Let’s hope we can sort it out as we can’t afford to lose on Monday.

Well. sat on the coach on the way back from what I can honestly say is the worst performance of the season, that's been coming for 3-4 games now, we have scraped a few wins that we haven't really deserved, we set up very defensively today, couldn't string 3 passes together, shaunnessey and cibliki were awful, we created 1 chance all game (for Pablo) . i do feel this transfer window is massive for us if we want to move fwd, desperate for a left back, a winger that can actually go past a man, a goal scoring centre mid and ideally a striker, appreciate we probably won't get all but we need to address these areas imo.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

30 Dec 2017 18:48:37
Agree it's been coming for a few games. Let's hope we don't go on a losing streak again. My signing preferences in order of priority are striker, lb and gk.

Feel your pain mate, was in with blues fans today and getting stick of the blue nose family members. Only good thing is it didn't take long getting home for me. I've watched some poor matches this season and thought the home game against Reading was bad enough, today was a new low.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Dec 2017 19:45:51
It was mezzer, let's not kid ourselves-we are in a false position at the moment. but we may as well try take advantage in the Jan window. how many chances is Alioski going to get? . he can't go past a player and gives us virtually nothing yet starts every game? .

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2017 20:10:56
Agree we are in a false position, we flatter to deceive at times but most of us could see this result coming today. Think TC under estimated the opposition today, even taking in to count the amount of games we have had recently, we should have been strong enough to get a result. We just didn't turn up.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2017 18:11:23
didn't see either game but think today was another millwall performance, turn up away from home against a poor team. We don't turn up and they bully us off the pitch. not good enough not knee jerk but anything other than play offs is not good enough, i would make sure TC knew that

Believable1 Unbelievable0

30 Dec 2017 19:47:14
We weren't bullied today, they weren't aggressive, we couldn't string 3 passes together, at no point over 90 mins did our midfield take control of that game, and that's why we got what we deserved. nothing

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2017 17:12:57

Not just beaten, but beaten up by the bottom team. Less possession. Less shots. Less shots on target. Less corners. Most importantly, less goals. Sigh! Right now I am not too disappointed I wasn't able to see the match. Don't like being negative but right now it hurts. I know I'll get over it and tomorrow I'll be back supporting them again but I've got some dummy spitting to do first. MOT - I guess.

Not good enough today although the perform-was in line with recent performances but we have had a lot of luck which ran out today! On this showing against a dogged City we need reinforcements. We only started playing when Siaz came on, we looked tired and totally uninterested. MOT

Believable1 Unbelievable0

30 Dec 2017 17:25:05
Big mistake by TC today gambled on a makeshift midfield to beat the bottom team and it backfired Siaz should have started if fit, a striker of quality needs adding plus a strong midfielder like Pritchard at Norwich a quality keeper and a left back but it ain't going to happen.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2017 17:44:16
Either nieve or just lack of respect for today's opposition with the way we played today. Did we expect to turn up for the win today. Said last week that I feared for us this game as early proved right. Any team on in this division on its day can beat any other, but at least put up a fight. Total lack of anything today, fans deserve more than a tired poor performance like this.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2017 17:01:48
By all accounts. It's fair to say the best team Won today. Would have been nice to finish the year with a win and on a high. But tbh happy enough to be in the play offs and still within a shout off 2nd place. Few early signings in January and all too play for. Happy new year guys, hope it's prosperous for you all and our team. MOT. 👍⚽️😃

Just back from the game. Very poor against a struggling team, who wanted it more. This result been coming for awhile, hope we don't fizzle out again like last season. Definitely need to strengthen this squad if we want to push on. Before we say it's only a blip, Birmingham have the poorest goal scoring record in the division, lots of harder games to come. lucky some results went in our favour, need to beat forest.
