Miller was on radio earlier saying 'to expect new faces come in nest week' I hope we get some decent quality in.

Heard that all summer so I wont expect any...

Sad to say but Relegation looks a strong possiblity this season if SG doesnt strengthen the defence, currently 2-1 against palace and somehow managed to lose a 1 goal lead at home almost straight after taking the lead :(

Couldn't agree more pal, dunt know who our defensive coach is but think he needs to be shown the door out asap. same old same old score 1 concede 2, just not good enuf.its a relegation battle fo sure...

Leeds getting murdered by palace, match stats 35% posession leeds palace 65%

Cant actually remmeber when leeds had a game without conceeding.

Keep The Faith Pugh Will B A Good Signing And A Decent Centre Half Kissa Still Looks Rusty ! May The Forrs Be With You

Ive been saying it for months just look at his defensive signings.Bates needs to egt rid of him today if he doesnt we will go down.

Are u enjoying chowing down on your words yet?

I Agree Defensive Signings Have Been Poor But Becchio An McCormack Look Like They Could Form A Lethal Partnership Were Is Clayton Brown Is Definately Not Up Ta Scrath Today He Has Let Zaha Pick The Ball Up In Between Midfield And Defenders His Job Is To Stop That Hope We Put In An Audacious Bid For Onouha And Also Go For Bridge And Pugh And Then We Would Quickly Rise Up The Table

What a load of $hite, relegation? A match is 90 mins, follow up the strong
second half performance against Bristol City next week and you'll be saying Play-offs, I agree about the defence, but have some faith in your team! MOT - welcome
back Bec!

Won 3-2 have u lot anything to say now get behind the team or f**k off with yourselves

Cliche time .. it's a marathon, not a sprint :) at the moment, we're a point behind the "mighty" fester city, 4 points adrift of 6th after 6 (SIX) games .. what is the problem with all you doom-mongerers?

MOT

So where are you now, you harbingers of doom??

Well said mate the text above . wait till 90 mins is up until u start slating the team and manager and bates. in fact just fu@k off any way.... well done boys

Am i wrong or didn't we WIN, great to see people seem to know the result before half time.

By all accounts it wasn't the defence more the poor protection from midfield-missing clayton, howson strangely quiet, nunez no defence to his game(not necessarily a criticsm). Season is over 9 months not 45 mins. Lovely to have becchio back.
We not had a settled defence through injury, it changes ever game but the youngsters seem promising.
Stick together guys and support the team, manager etc. Get the confidence flowing throughout the club and let's see what happens

How much did leicester spend again and were 1 point behind them. chill out well be there abouts at end of season

Were you at the game mate? Oh no wait too busy spreadin sh*te on here pipe down

Fair play the leicester comment guy, thought the same myself. keep the faith MOT

We deserved our win today even though our defence was shocking in the first half but charlie taylor looked good..

Palce aside, Southampton has been our only reall poor performance this season. We were excellent at Ipswich and got nothing. We were poor yesterday (though character and work-rate got us through) but picked up the points. That's football! All at ER were disappointed with the summer transfer activity, for whatever reason it didn't happen for us. However we now have funds to stop gap weak areas until Christmas (loan fees will be required to attract the best loanees)and I'm sure the January transfer window can't come soon enough for SG & KB as they have approximately £3m to utilise which should see us push on for a change in the 2nd half of the season. There will be teams that have spent big that really do not understand the difficulties of the Championship (look at Ipswich & Leicester already). This is one of the only leagues in the world where spending big is definitely not guaranteed to get you success. We will finish 6th this season.

I see more people slagging the team off who can't be bothered going to the matches. I'm pretty sure that by the end of October we will be in the top 6- Kisnorbo is looking way off the pace and I personally would play Bronby in his place; White is back next week and if Clayton is fit then the question will then be who partners McCormack- Forsell, Keough or Becchio?

I went to the game and we deserved no more than a draw, and at home that isn'y good enough. I pay good money to see Leeds so if I want to moan I f@cking well will.

We need to stick together yea poor first half but came back to beat an inform team also need to get off the kids backs lees particular he is learning his trade need to encourage . Larry aware of what we need but not panic buying lets bring the right defenders in with our attack we should be pushing again, and we aint let 8 in yet MOT ss

Sign of a decent team to play crap and beat an in-form side

Some people talk absolute bullsh*t! you really beliee that 6 games in with quite a few injuries that were going to be a relegation contender? look where we were last year, then one good run of form took us to second. grown some boll*cks and have a a bit of belief in our team.

Oh no were going to go down...theres only 40 games left! its basically all over!

danny pugh is the "mr versatile" that leeds have been lacking since we let andy hughes go

Leeds havent been missing anything as a result of letting hughes go.

Hughes was crap and still is.. no loss there.

Hughes was exactly the type of player we needed to get rid of, and on the same hand Pugh is exactly the type of player we don't need. We need at least 2 good centre backs, a left back and a solid central midfielder. I'm embarrassed Mivhael Brown is a Leeds player, all he cann do is run and he's not vey good at that.

U two need to back the team or shut up we won 3-2 2day, andy hughes was instrumental in getting us back up

Andy Hughes was one of the worst footballers .. Commitment 100% yes but football wise hopeless.

Andy Hughes was not great BUT he filled in in about 5 or 6 positions, so mr versatile was never going to be brilliant, however I don't think he can be knocked- he never really let us down and gave 100%.
Think our old players should be respected even if they not amongst our favourites- apart from brolin and kewell(other reason)

Heard a strong rumour that Leeds will try and hijack West Ham's bid to get Wayne Bridge on loan. It will probably come down to money and who can offer the best terms/pay. Which probably means he'll have signed for West Ham by the end of the weekend!

Why would west ham be in for him? they signed McCartney on a season long loan and have Ilunga too who is quite highly rated, although I would hope we would be banging down citeh's door to get him regrettably I reckon he'll end up at forest

McCartney is already at West Ham - stupid uninformed guess work.

Personally I thought Charlie Taylor was excellent today at left back.
