Stomach turned seeing the starting XI.
Byram scared of injury and losing that big move.

Wootton deemed at Man U. Development a worse centre back than a Phil Jones!

Pearce, honest lad but would not command a fee.

Warnock, run himself into the ground at Villa so they got rid.

Austin, no football brain, needs helping through by the midfield trio, not the other way round.

Tonge, will do a job but still being asked to.

Hunt, released by Adkins when he realised that he was football's only defensive attacker. Nuisance value only.

MURPHY is bits and pieces and would be happy to come off the bench. On his way out after bottling it at Millwall. Oh, and Morison absent, gutted as well as losing his spine.

Cellino must shoulder the blame that we started this season where we left last.

Dr.t that post is absolute spot on I could not agree more and your right the book does lie at cellinios door . If he doesn't get 4 quality players in and fast we will be in the bottom 5 / 6 .

If I remember rightly we finished last season with a win against birmingham and a draw against a very strong derby county team, seasons just kicked off, transfer window still open and all the doom merchants resigned to relegation, a few seasons ago norwich kicked off their season conceding 7 goals and still got promoted, for gods sake give them a chance, I mean a real chance before judging, over and out.

Come on guys this was the Hock playing it safe with championship? players. Agree team choice was crap. Midfield lacked playmaker and Hunt up front was a waste of time which Hock should have known if he watched any of his games last season. Poleon, Doukara and Smith looked better up front and having watched Mcdaid a bit I reckon he could step up now and get rid of Hunt and Morrison. Murphy and Austin are not good enough. Mowatt and Dawson are better. but we still need another midfielder, Van the man is still young but if he is as good as they say why was he not playing. Defence needs sorting, Wotton poor, Pearce adequate but needs a good partner, Warnock past his sell by date. Byram was somewhere else and if he can't fire himself up for the white shirt then get the 5 mill and get two defenders who want to play. MOT

i must be a "doom and gloom merchant".was at game yesterday it was as predictable as it was dire,a poor team from last year obviously weaker as no replacement for ross.byram be gone soon maybe smith,even half decent players we can't sign on loan deals .i don't expect to be spending millions but this penny pinching has gone overboard.if quality is not added in defence,midfield and up front,we be lucky to escape relegation.clueless inept performance from a very very poor team,i won't bother mentioning the "head coach".

GazY, I applaud your optimism and can I have a pair of your rose tinted glasses. The truth of it is the team is no better than last season and Cellino needs to understand this rebuilding can't be done on the cheap. We have had more player turn us down than we have signed. Can't see things improving before next weekend.

Gazy don't you think wootton, Austin, tonge, hunt and Warnock have had there chance?

'for gods sake give them a chance, I mean a real chance before judging, over and out.'

How many games do you think we should wait before stating the bleeding obvious then?

Hockaday hasn't got a clue, whatsoever, I am sorry to say.

Bring on the next manager please.

Leeds I'm NOT sticking up for the hock but remember the brilliant manager Brian clough.?

The only good think clough did to this club was leave it.

until we plat young players well never know but a mix would be good or bring in one or two i'd rather we lose fighting and giving your all rather than lie down and die perhaps the players should read what's on here it could give them th kick up the backside they need

Andy one big difference between clough and the current guy in our dugout. Clough had a proven track record, before and after leeds. Please remember all hockaday has done in 56 years is get a none league team with the biggest budget nearly religated year after year. clough by that age had league trophies and a couple of euro cups. Slight difference. reputation and respect is earned what has hockaday done to earn our respect. He has to prove me wrong not the other way round. For all we know I am a better manager i'm 31 and while I have done nothing in the game I have not messed no where near as much as him. His leeds team played just how I expected them to useless we were better in league one by miles that team would tear us apart
