Didn't know if I was on the correct site or not!
Suppose it was a tall order to win 4 on the bounce away, at least Millwall got stuffed, and we have 2 home games to hopefully get some more points to safety.

Yes Andy. Looks like we are close to achieving mid table mediocrity, which is what many of us dreamed about a few weeks ago, and given everything that's gone on - probably our true position for this season

Sounded like we were knackered and beaten by a better team. On to the next game!

Well sounds like we were battered most of game? On another note proud to say James milner was one of ours, ti be able to move around in any position still at a world class level. What I'd give for him back in our squad!

Enforced change by injury to morison let's hope cani has his scoring boots on

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Feb 2015 21:50:33
Cani could do with a run in the side, hard to ask a player who's joined a new team, in a new country in a team that are not creating chances and he has just 40 minutes to make an impact.

lets hope he doesn't borrow morisons boots then

Argh the sites changed and I'm out of my comfort zone!! What's this cellino thing? Does it mean he's selling or just being very clever to ensure the FLASH can not have any reason to punish us again?

{Ed001's Note - sorry mate, we had to make it easier for mobile users.}

If we lose tonight can you please change it back. I'm a bit superstitious like Mas. Does anyone else on here salute the single Magpie, to remove the curse?

MM

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I salute the magpie mate. No chance of changing back though, it is something you have to do to get listed on Google.}

24 Feb 2015 20:06:48
I am a mobile user I'm not saying it's worse just completely different haha. Appreciate the effort that you guys put into the site I just panic with change :p that flash meant to say FA stupid predictive!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - no worries mate, I just know how annoying change can seem to be at times.}

It seems George Ezra isn't happy about our chairman's extended absence.

No issues with MC not coming back until he has "cleared his name" and to an extent find it commendable.

I just don't want those cowboys at GFH near any decision making position at the club. As long as we are in good hands and progressing I am happy.

I don't honestly think he would leave us with them to be able to make any decision m8. look whose on the board. the names your worried about are an minority there. he's not daft!

So, where do LUFC go now . MC says he will not return when his ban ends.
"Another fine mess you got us into Stanley".

Do you think he had been looking for a buyer sincerely he got banned and has now found one

No. doubt it

I can't believe it either, we could do with resting one or two of them after that hard game v boro. Pointless having a sub bench with Neil their. Saying that, Neil thinks it a display cabinet as our top 2 scorers are on it, billy sharp and a danish international ;)

According to BBC Cellino not returning to Leeds after April? Being stuck in Bristol you don't get to hear the words on the streets of Leeds so does any one have any news on this? Great to see us winning again!MOT

Obviously the recent fantastic results can't continue forever, so I'll settle for 3 points this week, be very happy with 4, and ecstatic with 6!

Have faith Speedy and remember Redding (well we can't forget them as old BM used to mention them all the bleedin time!)

I think a win tonight very possible, we seem better away at the moment (never ever thought I would say that), so 1-0 to us. Saturday game should be a good one Watford seem to win well or lose badly so that is a tough one to call, I will predict goals either a 3-0 to us or 3-1 to them.

If we do win both I still don't think the play-offs in reach but at that stage you would have to say that the top 8 would then be looking at us for sure. would be a great way to end the season if we could hang on in there with a chance (even if slim) of somehow putting pressure on the top 6 from here.

Agree0 Disagree2

Cant believe redfern isn't changing the team, we have won 5 out of 6 and he isn't changing this guys management is so bad. I mean the football we play is horrible but were winning every game. I can't bare to watch us winning all the time its so bad!! why is life so bad for us leeds fans we always get it so hard. I mean were top of the league from our last 6 games, We defo need to change all the style and manager. let's get all the young boys in and try go down the table instead of up. I just can't bare thinking we might actually win tonight its not fair on us all!!

This is leeds fans! any clubs fans reading theses pages would laugh there heads off!! Winning game after game and all people can do is continue to moan. Its a tough division we ain't going to play fancy football its a league where you have to graft to get results. Hence adryan will never play. why can't people be happy were getting results. We ain't playign barcelona and Manchester United and real madrid anymore get real!!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Was just going to post something similar phillg, my word are you guys never satisfied? Not long ago people were saying I don't wanns play pretty football and gt beat. We need a midfield general. We need a defensive leader etc etc. Now we are winning ugly and guess what, its not good enough. I despair.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm not moaning. i'm just saying. He will cop it when we lose a game or two. I prefer my strikers to score but think it's unfair that as hard as he is working he will still cop it come the losses. It was an opinion. Not a winge. I'm happy to win 1-0. Just like a debate every now and again!

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Feb 2015 10:01:34
well most say morison to score sometime so morison 1-0 50/1. I took chance on byram 2-1 at 135/1 and murphy 2-0 at 205/1

Morrison has had chances but not converted them! He does work very hard though!
I don't think we have a decent striker to replace him. Playing like this he is our only option unless you try cani?
However. It's ok whilst midfielders are chipping in and we are winning but as soon as they don't and we lose. Whose fault is it then? A striker needs to score first and foremost and he has had his chances. We should not rely on him to defend. It's ok that he is very good at defending and works hard but the defenders need to defend. When we lose everyone will ultimately come back to him not scoring. Therefore. Reddders needs to pick players and play a system where our striker can play predominantly up front and score. Morrison is getting patted on the back at moment but when results change he won't!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I kinda agree but, I don't think he expected to play morrison this long. I think he gave him his opportunity and we can't stop winning so why change. togertherness and confidence is SO important to a team sport and its working so why try fix something that doesn't need fixing. I think if we go on a bad bit of form he will look to give cani/antenucci a go but why change now we have won 5 out of 6 and top of the table from last 6 games. So I get what you saying but don't change something that is working. He is working hard and doing a job. I couldn't care less if our CB scored every week and we were winning 1-0. than having a striker scoring 2 every game but we losing 3-2. Keep as it is for now.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Feb 2015 09:46:08
nr says he wants us to play same way so hope for a goal and then defend not good and morison is not quick so any long balls out of defence he won't get . we got cani in so at some point he as to play him and at some point we will have to play attacking football

Agree0 Disagree0

But you won't win 1-0 every week nor will centre backs score them. Some games your required to score 2/3. Again, Morison is lucky that Mowatt and Murphy have scored the goals in this run of wins.

Agree0 Disagree0

Smitchell8 clearly just a fan who has never played sport in his life. I ain't saying were going to win 1-0 every week. so you would be happy having a striker who scores 30 goals a seasons and we finish mid table (mccormack). or have a TEAM who work for each other and everyone chips in and we push for play offs and automatic?? Strange from a supposed fan!!

I've just watched the Sean Dyche interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re5c-HPPvIE

On the Ashley Barnes (and other) incidents at the weekend.
I have thought (before this weekend) that he (Dyche) has been excellent, but his excuses for Barnes - he mentions pendulums - are disgraceful and unprofessional.

In my view a professional manager would either say nothing, or announce that the club will retrospectively ban and fine the player and warn him about his future conduct. What do the rest of you think?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm all for defending your own players and Barnes would be in a dark place if everyone turned on him even his boss, but Sean can't lie saying it wasn't a bad tackle because it was. Its a tricky one. Fergie and Jose are renowned for defending their players

Agree0 Disagree0

Well brighton tommorow hope we player better than we did at boro a win is a win but we barley strang 2 passes together just think mowat is too slow on the wing sloth should be on the left he must be fummin not been in the team after giving a good account of him self other week only to be dropped for austin on a positive the defence is best we've had since harte woodgate radabe kelly and sivestre showed why he's one of the best keepers in this divison please win tommorow and top 8 all draw or loose (was not happy with watford.)give us summet to get excited over near the end of the season :) lufc4life p.s think it might be abit early to be dreaming of the p word.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Finally, someone with sense. We were made to look silly by Boro even though we won. Brighton won't be half as good so we've got a chance. Redfearn should freshen things up however after that long game v boro, but he won't. Bad management
