Big brother is now watching......

Just noticed the Kop is now open for season ticket holders and members only?

Apparently this is so that all the occupants there are 'known' in case of any 'events' arising....??

Or maybe Uncle Ken would just like to be able to identify anyone who shouts 'Grayson Out' or 'Bates Out'

Another conspiracy theory perhaps....lol??

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Lol, but no. I've been a Leeds fan for over 20 years and am wondering now why im not a member, i must be stupid for not joining having supported for all these years. Maybe its because in the past u only got a small discount on programmes and a free cup of tea ot half time (i know, this is exagerated and ill-informed and im sorry). I will now happily become a member and pay whatever the fee is, what the hell. And anyway, paid members and season ticket holders do deserve the best so im with the board on this one, especially in the current climate were certain 'fans' want to drag our name thru the dirt in the eyes of the media and world football. (Bates out* Grayson out* etc etc) Good move Leeds, its a thumbs up for the true and loyal fans and a shrug of the shoulders for anyone else.

Agree2 Disagree0

Must admit I wrote this message and I'm not a member either, after supporting Leeds since the late 60's, never seen the point, I just get to Leeds whenever I can, support the team through thick and thin and keep the faith......

Anyone know why Nunez and sam haven't been named as subs in the last few matches? I feel we need an impact in the wide areas but Grayson seems happy naming two strikers instead?!

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Forssell and Becchio is a strong bench, but maybe quite similar. You make a good point re an impact sub, Both Sam and especially Nunez have done well off the bench. I agree that at least one should be included in the squad.

Agree1 Disagree0

Does anyone know if they are injured?

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think either are injured. Strange one.

Agree0 Disagree0

Think sam is or at least has been injured. Think that dropping back down to 5 subs has affected this. Personally i think having two strikers on the bench is a good thing for if we are chasing a game, such as palace, but then need a keeper, a defender and then one more place. Difficult choice really and whoever people pick has good or bad points.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sams been carrying a knock

I have just been browsing on onother site lufc mad .A few posters calling Grayson to be sacked cant believe some people .who else could we get who would work as good on his budget,These people need to get real oneil no chance poyet no chance ,He spent more than double graysons fees payed on one player c m s 3.25 million .I heard Grayson wanted Collins from Stoke ,and not for the First time this year Ipswich blew us away wages wise .watt Im
Saying is be careful watt u wish for cos bates just might make Grayson his scape goat for his lack off putting proper money up for Simons main targets.But he would replace him on the cheap wise any one .we would be knakerd if he did go .And I'm sure some club willing to back him would snap him up ,And we would watch on as he got promotion or top half prem .

just because weve had few good results we have people saying shut up to the people who had a go at grayson.get real idiots,
he deserved to be got at,he could have sorted out things quicker in defence and lets face it ,its still not great.we need another cb and a right back,thats pretty easy for anyone to see,but we only need these if we really are going to make a serious auto promotion bid.we were fortanate to get full points against palace and bristol city.portsmouth could have got something 2nd half.yes we have show brilliance in places,west ham and brighton 1st half.we are not going to get carried away,like some on here who now think everythings rosy in the garden.yes we have the nucleus and yes id love grayson to be a success but dont slag us off who had concerns from dsy one,they still havent been fully answered

Believable5 Unbelievable11

We only need a rb ( erik lihaj) and we will be sorted

Agree1 Disagree1

Still need CB's. Bromby-awful. Paddy-not the same since injury. Lees-promising, but needs a partner. O'Dea-O'DEAR. Bruce-out of favour. O'Brien-past it.

One clean sheet a defence does not make.

Agree1 Disagree3

I've always liked connelly and could never understand the bad mouthing he gets on here. Rather than signing any new players i say stick with the back line we had at the weekend for a good 6-10 games and take a few mistakes on the chin but give them a chance to work together and get to know each other properly. lets stop the snap decisions and try to build something slowly and properly.

Agree7 Disagree0

To the original poster - get a grip! If we win our game in hand we go 5th, just 3 points off second! Ok we may have been fortunate against Crystal Palace and Bristol City, but don't forget thanks to some ridiculous red cards the refs in the Middlesbrough and Ipswich games cost us points.

Stop moaning and get behind the team - or don't bother at all.

After the win at the weekend I thought the defence was ok it's obvious we need a new right back but feel the defence needs help from midfield
Grayson bought m brown to do this but does not play him howson and clayton are to attacking minded
I feel we need to play howson on the right as Lee bowyer did in the late 90s brown next to clayton and snodders on the left as are main attacking force from midfield I feel this will protect are back four and give us the platform to challenge for automatic promotion
Howson played his best football in a more attacking role , he could attack from the right and give more cover to the right back

Arsenal, lost....just....., over 2 games, Man united, beat 1-0, Spurs, lost...., just .....over 2 games, Liverpool....lost just.

Barnsley,Saints,Preston,Cardiff all hammered us.

This was the same group of players who tunred out in all these matches, including Alex Bruce(who cant get a kick).There are huge confidence problems at Leeds United, plain to see.

The centre backs work on a system where its.....right your turn,lost, change c backs ,.....right your turn, lost,change c backs,......right your turn...won, right you can stay in for a few games,....lost...right its your turn now...nobody can perform in that situation.

I believe a good idea would be to make Andy Lonegran the on field captain and kep the role of club captain for a Jonny H. With him being a local lad its suits him down to ground. It obviously doesnt suit his personality. Its not a bad thing, its just the way people are.

Lonegran s consistency would rub off on other as he is an out going character who is probably a bit maturer then Howson who can do without it whilst concentrating on his own personal development as a footballer.

Why are you talking about last year? Some people are never happy, and continue to drag up the past. Lets look to the future and enjoy the fact we've taken 10 points from the last 4 games, and have played five of the current top six in the league with 'easier' games to come.

You've .......lost.......me!!!
