My £37 Cat A Bolton tickets are here and I am so excited. Fast free flowing football, full of creativity, passion and commitment. A manager who is forward thinking and always quick to change things and is tactically astute all that and Scott Wootton.
20 Feb 2016 23:06:30
And a pie at half time don't forget . Result!
20 Feb 2016 21:00:32
Said we would lose one nil? Didn't expect us to score the goal though! Lol.
20 Feb 2016 20:54:24

Cook 5 not played that well recently and needs rotated, eg mowatt in
Dallas 7 only player other than doukara to threaten
Antenucci 6
Doukara 7 good skill and passing and link up play.
20 Feb 2016 20:47:15
The self proclaimed greatest fans in the world, booing and slagging of their own player, for scoring an own goal! Hope they are all proud of themselves!
20 Feb 2016 21:27:23
Agreed the best defenders in the world have scored own goals.
21 Feb 2016 00:48:01
They deserve far more.
20 Feb 2016 19:40:27
Only listened to commentary, and think I may have at some stage promised not to criticise SE, but since I gave him a big pat on the back for tactics last week, I'd have to say that today I couldn't understand why substitutions were not more risky (attack minded ) and not made much earlier, ie as soon as we went behind. It sounded like we were a million miles away from creating any chances let alone scoring a goal.
20 Feb 2016 20:12:19
Speedyg, this should not be a suprise as we rarely look capable of creating many chances. Evans has made us defensively stronger mainly due to the two defensive midfielders however we severely lack quality in the final third. Building a team to not concede is not a bad start however to win games you have to score goals. Will that quality be recruited in the summer? Only time will tell.
20 Feb 2016 21:06:51
We will have a new owner and a new manager this summer!
20 Feb 2016 21:07:56
Agree Speedy, I think this proves that Mr Evans is not up to the job. We had nothing to lose, yet still, he would not go for all out attack. One shot on target is becoming a all to familiar statistic. FA Cup, league over what else to play for? Final third is a no go area for Leeds!
20 Feb 2016 21:32:48
We weren't bad today I watched todays game and considering we were playing a premier league side I don't think we were disgraced I think we can hold our heads up again we were lacking in final third and missing our biggest signing I would not be down on Evans or team mot.
20 Feb 2016 22:52:18
Wood would make little difference as we don't create enough chances.
20 Feb 2016 23:12:04
Thanks for that wex. It's always much better hearing from someone who was at the game than relying on commentators. Just disappointed he didn't throw caution to the wind once we went behind. Would rather have lost 2 or 3 nil trying to score than having on for a 1-0 defeat.
20 Feb 2016 23:30:05
556 touches by Leeds players, 6 in the opponents box. Not disgraced but we will not beat any team if we don't commit players in the opponents box.
21 Feb 2016 00:36:55
I know wood not prolific goal scorer but he gives us that bit extra up front and we're better with him than without and considering Watford holding their own in premiership we didn't do too bad.
20 Feb 2016 18:15:50
My little tip of the day. Evans you need a out and out striker mate, ant and the douk ain't up to it, so do us a favour get someone in.
20 Feb 2016 18:22:47
told you all we'd lose 1-0.
Jeff.
20 feb 2016 20:26:18
well you must be proud wishing we'd lose 1-0 no true fan every says or wishes there team to get beat.
20 Feb 2016 20:58:22
And me! Jeffrey! Lol.
20 Feb 2016 17:45:49
Now no possible reason for some hard core experimentation for next few games, change of style and some fringe players given a chance. And def a few given a rest.
20 Feb 2016 19:33:32
Obviously meant every reason to experiment.
20 Feb 2016 17:42:14
At least we managed to score today :- (
Noticed that the likes of Sharp and Ajose (hat trick) managed it in the right net
Tip for Mr Evans - GOALS, GOALS.
20 Feb 2016 18:17:54
Cellino won't allow that, my God anyone would think Evans was in charge! Lol.
20 Feb 2016 21:34:40
Morrison scored 2 as well.
20 Feb 2016 17:28:28
What does the training staff have the team practising in between every game? It's certainly not crossing, or taking corners, or free kicks. Can't put the ball in the box and can't find a man in a white shirt!

20 Feb 2016 16:56:02
Looking ahead to next season, what's people's thoughts on players to leave or keep. I think for me antenucci, Erwin, wotton bellusci and probably sloth need to go, I'm happy with sylvestri berardi bamba cooper Taylor at the back and the midfield is decent enough, and I'd keep wood and doukara but we need some new striker options and pace,
20 Feb 2016 17:07:56
I'd add Bamba to the out list and wouldn't care if Silvestri and Doukara left either. Silvestri is a good shot stopper but he flaps too much on the odd occasion he comes for crosses.
20 Feb 2016 17:20:05
Id agree there yeah, I quite like what doukara brings though but bamba and sylvestri I wouldn't miss to much.
20 Feb 2016 17:25:30
Belusci is the best centre back we have, makes bamba look like a cart horse . Erwin hasn't had a proper chance and Antenucci is the best forward we have with the ball at his feet. Agree with sloth but the others? Come on man, give your head a wobble . I would keep silvestre and doukara and probably even wooton too.
20 Feb 2016 17:35:18
Probable say cooper is best centre back, antenucci I'm not sure when he scored last, possibly November, doukara has been offering more, bellusci regularly gets beaten in the air and is mistake prone, but we have looked much better at the back over all since Evans took over. Don't forget the players we have are 16th in champ so there is massive room for improvement I'd say.
20 Feb 2016 17:56:08
I'd like a keeper that has a decent all round game, not just a good shot stopper. He doesn't command his area or really inspire confidence from his defence. As for Bellusici being our best CD I'd have to agree but that's not really owt to shout about as pretty sure none of ours would get in the side for any of the promotion chasing teams because they aren't that good. To sum it up, we've a GK who's a decent shot stopper but awful on crosses and high balls, we've a defence that can be fairly strong but you know in your heart is one step away from a cock up all the time. Our MF creates very little and on the rare occasions it does create we don't have the ST to make it count. I can't decide if it's the players that are poor or the tactics that are poor or just a combination of both. As much as it all frustrates me I'll still trudge along to watch because that's what we do I suppose but would love for us to just have a real go one season. I didn't expect anything this year, honestly thought (& would have accepted) we'd build and comfortably finish mid table then push on next season but it's just not worked out that way. Normally I try to have an optimistic view on things but feel a bit down in the dumps today - maybe it's because we never even bothered to have a right good go at Watford today - we've nowt else to play for so why not give it everything for a chance of getting to the QF.
20 Feb 2016 18:10:42
It does feel we just went down with a whimper today, the league is pretty much dead to us now, although we have to be careful not to get dragged down any further, so surely this was a game we could of thrown everything at but we didn't really create anything . Disappointing, I'd like to see us give a few players a go from the u21 and maybe give a few players a rest, it's not like the players who are starting are pulling up trees.
20 Feb 2016 18:54:29
Yeah agreed mate, give them a chance. Coyle should be given a run at RB as we're playing an average CB with no pace in that position and Wootton, whilst giving his all, is clearly struggling. I'd give Philips another chance too. I can't really comment on the other kids as I've not seen too much of them but must be some who are worth a go.
20 Feb 2016 19:10:08
I posted last week how hacked off I was not to get a Watford ticket after spending an hour on the computer. Sounds like I've got to be grateful to Leeds massive support and Watford's s***ty little ground that I avoided this debacle. My day of decorating far more fulfilling.
I think Evans has done a brilliant job, with the players we have, I thought the performance against Middlesborough was brilliant, but so sad to hear the mighty Leeds referred to as the have nots compared to Middlesborough who have never achieved anything.
Anyway onwards and upwards I will be at Brighton on Monday, I am hoping for a big away following, I'm going for the atmosphere certainly not the football. I'll be down at lunchtime so I hopefully won't be able to remember too much of the horrors on the pitch. What pub are the Leeds fans frequenting?
20 Feb 2016 16:15:29
Awful goal to give away. Silvestri went walk about on a cross then Wooten tries to turn it behind but spoons it into an empty net!
20 Feb 2016 16:14:21
Wootton what a plonker.
20 Feb 2016 16:12:52
Wonder if Coyle would have done that?
20 Feb 2016 16:04:30
As much as I like Sol Bamba, when he plays we always seem to be under the cosh, he looks to only pass the ball sideways or backwards giving teams a chance to regroup and get back into shape. Come on Sol let's move the ball quicker from the back and forward occasionally would be nice. Anty lucy needs to up his workrate otherwise let's see Irwin on or Botaka alongside Doukara let's see what he can do up front. MOT.
20 Feb 2016 15:00:55
Let's hope sunny Lucy repaysevan misplaced loyalty, after Monday's game he needs to show what he can do.
20 Feb 2016 16:14:07
That's the whole point shag. He doesn't! All he needs to do is wait til May.
20 Feb 2016 18:30:29
Couldn't agree more George it is clear he is seeing out the season, so he needs to vedropped.
20 Feb 2016 13:13:50
Looking forward to the fact we are underdogs today, it suits us at the moment, we can do it if we keep it tight and play on the counter today, oh and handcuff Deeney and Ighalos feet! 😂 come on the whites, let's March on to the Quarters! Mot people 😎.

Hi all, game streaming on First Row to all who can't make it .
20 Feb 2016 12:15:18
Throw Erwin and Diukara into the mix. If they can cause enough problems in the box possibility that Cook or Dallas could nick a goal. Think we are highly unlikely to score more than one so defence will need to be on top form.
20 Feb 2016 09:55:16
Morning geezoirs, time to dream, get on it and smile, if only for a little while. On a different note I shall be raising a glass to my boy who has just completed his first week of 32 training to become a Royal Marine, nice one son from a very proud dad x.
20 Feb 2016 10:53:17
Dream on boys
Well done to your boy!
20 Feb 2016 11:46:03
well done you must be very proud. I have his 1st assigment take out GFH using any mean nessacary.
20 Feb 2016 12:12:05
Morning Vidmeister. Well done to your old boy from the Mad family. I shall raise a pint of Stella for your son and all who serve our country.
MM.
20 Feb 2016 09:09:45
Maybe it our turn to do a bit of giant slaying today. God knows it has happened to us many a time. Good luck lads. Magic of the FA cup.
(Not that Watford are Giants by any means, but a will would go down as a shock defeat for them)
MoT.
20 Feb 2016 03:09:55
Well I'm hoping that a dear friend of mine and staunch leeds fan Yorkshire lass Sarah Jane will be looking down and sprinkling some of her magic, sadly lost her aged 38 to cancer, an inspiration to an awful lot of people, she was real Yorkshire, and I wore my leeds scarf with pride in her memory at her funeral, met up with her hubby Damo tonight such a great guy and heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with the loss of his Yorkshire lass and soul mate, she will be sadly missed RIP Sarah Jane xxx.
20 Feb 2016 04:27:46
Nice tribute to your friend DJ. RIP Sarah Jane from all the Leeds family.
MM.
20 Feb 2016 08:44:39
Tragic story DJ. Certainly puts football, and everything else into perspective. Hope everyone pulls through ok .
20 feb 2016 09:22:23
sorry to hear of your loss my thoughts go out to her friends and family.
20 Feb 2016 09:51:43
Touching tribute DJ, life is very cruel sometimes. I like to think nothing is ever destroyed, take a log and burn it, it becomes heat, smoke and ash but is still here albeit in a different form. those we have loved and lost are gone, but only from our sight x.
19 Feb 2016 23:44:18
Have to say with all the will in the world Watford will be to strong for us at home 1-0 I reco.
