Im usually positive but we were poor today. Burnley have one or two good players but we were dominated at home. Like I said on my last post if we could get some creativity up top the team wouldn't have to defend so much as we would keep the ball better. Only positive was byram coming back, if were not going to get someone on loan then we might as well just start poleon, obviously not the finished article but potentially our best forward and can't do any worse than anyone else we have. Vinny.

Agreed on the poleon front we must give him more game time. I am not sure why we keep messing with the back four either we need to create an effective unit who have confidence in each other. Austin sit just in front of them (if he can learn to put a decent pass in!) - very frustrating for everyone - especially when you pay for a flight and a cab to to get to games. come on Leeds

Agreed, it costs me 50 quid a pop. Vinny.

The Future without a striker and a winger

1. A relegation battle
2. Mcd will go, sighting not being backed financially as the reason.
3. No quality manager will take the job because they GFH won't be able to convince a quality manager he will have cash to spend.
4. No quality manager/No quality players.
5. No investment or new buyers
6. Another decade of crap.

The future with some backing for Mcd.
1. Play off chance this season.
2. Stronger chance next season, maybe even automatic promotion.
3. Crowds start to grow.
4. Better players are attracted, etc etc etc

Just back the manager GFH. He is our big hope.

We are playing as good as we can for the players we have. The team may have a relegation fight on there hands this season without 3 more signings watch gfh vanish then.

Shocking performance. Sloppy in all areas of the pitch. Good crowd which makes it more disappointing that the team were so bad. I heard a guy say I've took holiday leave today so I could come here I doubt he will be again anytime soon. Why should people pay stupid money to come and watch their team be torn apart by the likes of Sam Vokes? I can understand why people do stay away and before you start slating me I am a ST holder. Just thought I'd put it out their that the match day experience at Leeds is hardly persuasive enough to encourage people to keep coming back. If we'd got beat 2-1 but played some good football then fair enough but first half was sloppy passing (Austin in particular) and in the second half anyone would have thought Neil Warnock was in charge all we did was hopelessly hoof the ball upfield to EHD.

Spot on mate, totally agree with you. We were so bad today both individually & collectively. Austin was awful and as for anybody that thinks Poleon is our future. your deluded, the kid is just a sprinter at best with no awareness of anyone around him at all. Rubbish, FACT!

Yes I was at Reading too and hoof the ball up the pitch was the case then too. Worrying {Ed013's Note - I was at Reading and that was not the case, did you watch Warnock hoofball?}

Alot of leeds fans need to start waking up and realising that we are lucky to have brian managing are club we all need to give him the backing and the time he deserves to build something special.

I watched warnocks hoofball against totingham

Becchio can't even get a game at Norwich, boy do we miss him though!

They might be a bit old if they are even still alive but I get your drift. Chin up MOT

I see Macheda and Lindgard (loan players) have been ripping it up today in the Championship. Why would we sign any young Prem league players on loan when we score so many goals. In all seriousness how can Doncaster Rovers, and there three fans afford to get a decent striker in on loan and we can't afford anyone? The figures don't add up. We are being run on a League 2 budget. Why did GFH takeover? Minimum spend, maximum sale price. Unfortunately football clubs don't work that way.

Unfortunately good old ken had already spent this years seaon ticket sales, so gfh don't have the luxury of much income this season also a lot of the unwanted players contracts will be up next seaon so that is why they have a two season plan .they have helped the fans as much as finances would allow eg reducing prices etc have a little faith . froggy

Ten players were released at the end of last season, Morison went out on loan, so that makes 11 players this summer. We got rid of most of the deadwood, and signed four players, two of whom were free. GFH do not have the required financial ability to fund the football club. They are merely paying the absolute bare minimum to keep the club afloat until they can find a buyer. They simply want to flip the club. This in its self wouldn't be a massive issue if in the mean time they invested in a winger or striker (on loan). The fact they don't stands testament to there inability to fund the club correctly. Again we are in a stalemate situation, treading water till something happens.

Yet again my post is the same. Nothing upfront.
Gfh must wake up. 26k today but if they don't invest in couple of loan players then it will be 21 next game then 17.
Doncaster with macheda and birm with lingard both invested and look at goals.
Bmd right man but just deja vu again .
Defense wasnt great either.
Need to act and fast. Shrew leeds

I hope white has a good game today and also wanna get an opinion on hall does everyone think he's going to be sold now or do u think if he plays well while out on loan he will keep him.

Bmcd seem to believe that hall plays behind the strikers and therefore no use to us, it's also clear now he has no intention of playin any sort of wingers seems happy with his formation so doubt well see much of him again, sad reely I think he's decent and feel it'll probably be another one we've let go to come back and bite us in the .

Wont see him again. Shame most of the rest of warnocks buddies didn't go with him. Wish him luck though, just not up to champ
