gutttted about today, everytime us leeds fans dare to dream we always get crushed. so deppressing. i just hope GFH show some ambition in january or we are ******. LIAMMOT!!

Dont worry they will le us down as they have no money. League 1 next stop I am afraid.

Get a grip! 15 points from last 21 is hardly relagation form is it? Typical of the knww jerk reactions we vget whenever we lose!

Why does everyone on this page always put leeds down if we lose, good fans you are,you should be saying unlucky lads not crap like league 1 next stop!!

26 Dec 2012 21:00:18
Today we were carp in all areas absolute no pace end of. The only 1 good thing to come out of today was the blue santas great fans still singing while 4 1 down !

For me McCormack has to start the best overall striker we have. Yess becchio is banging in the goals which is great but he's useless with the ball at his feet. McCormack has made a difference every time he has come on in the last few games but he's only getting ten minutes. I really believe warlock is freezing him out for some reason and I think he is a class act for the championship.

Ya and I think we should start Ryan hall as well.

mccormack will start along side becchio against bolton .at the moment we have becchio for 1 striker position with no real competition but the other striker position has somma ,mccormack and diouf competing so warnock is after competition for becchio so it will have to be someone good in the air good at holding the ball up and scores plenty hopefully have a bit more pace

26 Dec 2012 19:29:29
A lot of talk of different forwards, I would rather spend the money on a central midfielder who can pass the ball better in Midfield, I think with Somma coming back we have 4 good strikers in Becchio McCormack Diouf and Somma who will score plenty of goals between them if they get the supply , Its a shame even Adam Clayton didn't get the chance to play with Austin

Need a Batty type player. Austin may be ok in Norway but not Championship class

He's great is austin was just no where near fit enough against forest

26 Dec 2012 19:13:14
Odriscol sacked for hammering us wow c ant believe hoofing ball forward to lone striker is way forward there was no one within 25 yards of becks even if he won the ball we need to play with 2 strikers one with pace

26 Dec 2012 19:00:37
I hope everyone has noticed that Austin isn't good enough. Think people need to wake up & smell the coffee - he is very poor. Been bad in every game. Every time he plays we get outplayed in midfield. It's no coincidence that while he's been out our results have picked up & we looked a half decent side. Now he's back, our midfield is non-existant again.We're easily a better team without him. He is an ineffective player... does nothing! Don't believe the hype! The quicker Warnock realises the better! MOT!

I thought he was okay at first, i think it was warnocks fault for starting him today maybe to early as he was injured!

Not true at all austin will prove you wrong and the other doubters wrong i think people seem to forget he ant played since his injury against watford and then to get thrown in against a tough side like forest isnt ideal.

Thats harsh when he has been injured for so long. He does alot of work that most fans do not see.

I can only remember austin having 2 bad games this season (bolton and forest) the rest he is an out and out ball winning midfielder, do's that job better than anyone in the championship at the moment!

Brown is the midfield issue, not Austin.....warnock needs an athletic midfielder, not a striker {Ed037's Note - No, he needs a playmaker, someone like Andy King or Hoolahan would be perfect}

Leeds lack pace to carry threat and compete with better teams. Forwards OK but limited to threat in around box which allows opposition to setup compact and in our face, midfield no pace to carry ball/threat forward and compete with the better midfields, the defence suffers from what team pattern and play results in front of them and their own lack of pace. 4 more good pacey players needed, a lot of teams with better squads. (Forest number 7 was great-unfortunately)

Well said mate . Your absolute spot on . To say we are desperate for pace is biggest understatement ever . Mot.

Great to see austin back but result was poor...

Ya great to see him score an OG as well

Austin was one of our worst players today. not match fit clearly.

Had our best run of results this season without him, why you want him back?

Austin not up to it. We need better than him and Brown fact!

Can't believe all you people blaming Austin, one of our best players before his injury, he's still class ,just not match fit, get of the guys back and grow up, we lost , get over it

Not only wasn't he match fit but not fit at all. he is a class player for this division but he shouldn't have played he needs at least a couple more weeks to gain full fitness.

26 Dec 2012 15:38:25
Why did Austin start today ,put green in midfield .Dont seem to have any bite in midfield sign someone good please.I think leeds fans deserve some really great wow signings listen to them even 4-1 down ,great fans.

Agree is Colin up to the job?

26 Dec 2012 15:21:27
i reckon Ross is very P****d off that somma is being brought on before him ok somma needs games but we need the POINTS!

Must admit I find it very strange that Somma is getting his match fitness in the first team in stead of the development squad. In the process he's keeping Ross out who Warnock knows about...wait a minute, is that what it's all about, Warnock seeing for himself what Somma is capable of before the January window opens?
CJS

I personally think its a case of putting somma in the shop window

Contract ends in the summer so he's worth nothing in the transfer market. Jones likes him which is why he's there.

26 Dec 2012 14:51:15
Odriscoll hit the nail on te head in post match interview.........'even when we went one down, we knew we had far more athletic players and could wear leeds down'........not sure if we can class brown, green tongue and norris athletic, only Austin fits that label?

Disagree Austin is not good enough either. I would have started Norris

26 Dec 2012 14:42:33
not a rumour just a thought how about guedioura from forrest he was amazing to day constantly making space, just the type of player we need, attackive minded. any thought on it? hope we bring some top class signings january.
mot!!

26 Dec 2012 19:29:07
cant rate him on a game where the other team(Leeds) didn't turn up ,he was given the time on the ball he didn't make it

Thats cos Brown and Austin not up to it.

26 Dec 2012 14:36:31
we really missed tonge today IMO, was a bit of a bold clal starting Austin when hes not even fit, Norris wouldve suited it better, and to take off a midfielder for a defender at 4-1 down is silly, you want to try and salvage something at all costs, id rather see us conceed 7 and at least go for it rather than try and limit the damage when we all know we have goals in us

and if Warnock says hes not dissapointed and we did ok one more time im gonna scream lol

Think when Pearce replaced Rudy,Byram moved up into midfield and lees covered RB spot.
Somma was great!
White teeth

on todays game... great to see somma back and scoring but why was austin starting? hes been out injured and should have had to earn his place again if others do... why mc'cormack on the bench? why white on the bench? why the hell is brown in the team never mind the squad?? hes garbage.. we looked flat and disinterested, no bite and no comunication!! warnock seemed to get it all wrong today, we never put a ball behind forrests back line on the deck and diouf drops too deep.. if thats his natural game get rid of brown play diouf in midfield to knit the play and play ross or somma up with becchio because we look like we are always struggling to breach defences from knock downs and through balls........ thaughts?? leeds4life

Even if fully match fit I can't see the point in having Austin AND Brown as starting cm's. One or the other but not both together.

persons
Had forest in the bag
Fine the lot of them 50% of their wages for 2nd half
And warlock

26 Dec 2012 14:08:24
Woeful, awful, shocking, lacklustre and negative 75 mins I've seen this season, first 15min was very good but we turned off and went home after out goal, Austin was way off pace ANC shouldn't of been on pitch but what do you expect coming back from injury, Bryam was ripped apart down right side, forest walked threw our midfield, don't want to be too dishearten but I can see it been a very hard Christmas period.

26 Dec 2012 11:08:12
Speaking to my cousin who is a Swansea fan, we were having some football banter and he seems to think that our new owners are struggling for money?

TsG

And your cousin the swansea fan would know because?, they have money , don't listen to what others say because people enjoy winding leeds fans up

26 Dec 2012 14:01:25
The "game" in which we were supposed to take part in today against lets let in as many goals as we can against forrest
PROVES one thing, we need 5 new players URGENTLY !!!

And one new manager, Warnock is a dinosaur

26 Dec 2012 14:00:26
Total disaster today........not training on xmas day was a masterstroke mr warnock. Mrc1919

Got to question some of his decisions...

26 Dec 2012 13:01:55
Cheers Leeds- concede a pen just before half time in a vital, vital game. V professional. Did the same at Huddersfield and luckily pulled it out of the bag.

26 Dec 2012 09:20:38
mccormack and byram and becchio to score today 3-0 to leeds

Have you seen the score mate 4-1. Good supporter like myself but certainly no mystic meg.

Ive just turned it off at 4-1 embarassing and outplayed clueless hump it up front merchants.gutted

Win 3-0 ur avin a bloody laugh, already losing 4-1, paniking wen on ball rubbishe passing rubbishe defending, rubbishe goal keeping, rubbishe going foward, embarrasing to watch

Mccormack and beccio to score and byram, well for starters it would help if mccormack actually started the bloody game mate, byram still at right back when would be better up top and you cannot rely on one man beccio. your prediction a little wide of the mark cos at the moment we are getting a pasting. Brown and Austin in midfield what do you expect not good enough. Why is warnock keeping the most gifted goal scorer on the bench i presume a few good results and its easy to forget we are no bloody barcelona. please can we get rid of deadwood and invest in jan!

Setting off to forest from London in a while, only 4 th away game of 2012. Seen a few home games recently where we are not playing brilliant but getting results.everyone seems to be thinking we will get a positive result today, this is when we usually slip up? Players may be tired? Warnocks rigid tactics may come under severe pressure today? A Leeds fan with loads of doubt. Will we win today? predictions pls. Merry Xmas.mot.
