Anyone else think we are cursed or is it just me.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It certainly feels like it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mc was our saving grace. Unfortunately our saving grace likes coaches and not managers and wants to buy all the players even though he dosent know the championship!
Get a manager. Give him some money
Mcs way and redders ain't working!

Beginning to think that my £30 bet on us to win the league is not looking good!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Degsy. Well don't want to sound too pessimistic - but probably best not to spend your 'winnings' just yet!

Surely Surely Surely Surely Surely Sloth, Montenegro and Adryan have to play on Tuesday. We need BIG changes and we need them now.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well Smitch. At the risk of us both getting boring to the extent we are even boring ourselves, can someone at least find out wtf is going on with Sloth?
Nobody can think he's any worse than some of those who played today. I've tweeted the so called Leeds reporters but to know avail. Any ideas? Even if he ain't going to play and Redders thinks he's sh1t*, let's just be told that

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2014 20:24:40
Surely it must be time to freshen the team up. Players like sloth del fabro Montenegro maybe aidy White and what's happened to benedicic anyone? And why let ajose go and then moan we don't have width? We have to try something different.

Lets have a reality check here b4 new year 1. Redfern great coach but no experience at match to match champ level
2. To many new players although doing ok have nt battled as a team yet
3. No real experiened midfielder of calibre to mention
4.midtable team at best this season
5.defence needs complete rebuild or bring in a proper reshuffle
Sorry but we are miles away of competing even at this level at present and relegation may nt be considered but if er dnt become battlers soon pretty football won't save us a very very down night mot

Pavoletti at ER today according to YEP's Phil Hay - signing on loan until end of season with view to a permanent move in summer.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hope he didn't watch game or he'll be half way back to Italy by now!

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye, another what's his name - who was going to sign until he saw them play

Agree0 Disagree0

On second thoughts, let's hope he did see em play, and he will be thinking how good he's going to look in this team

Agree0 Disagree0

Not really surprised at the result today, bizarre own goal but Neil Redfern just hasn't got the experience to be up against managers like Malky Mackay. Too many changes to management by a crazy owner who's heart may be in the right place but is as mad as a march hare and has made so may bad management choices over the years you just start thinking Leeds may have as many managers in a season as they manage to score goals.
I really hope I'm wrong but we are still a million miles away from Premiership level.

Sorry to say but for me tactics were wrong, was a game to attack and to start with Tonge was a mistake. Also playing Sharp and Ant without a wide man is pointless, no pun intended, Back four need to stamp their authority on game before running about upfield. Monty scoring goals for fun in U21 but gets no time on pitch, same with Dawson, why do we not rotate these players with Mowatt and Bianchi or Cook. Young kids will play for ever if they are winning but have confidence easily dented if having to put up with this every game. Assume Adryan is injured and Sloth and Del Fabro. Keep playing same formation but midfield can't do it, you can't have wingbacks unless midfield is going to get back and cover and we have no hard men in midfield to do this. Think we need to look at 5-4-1 formation with Bellusci pushing into midfield and Montenegro playing wide in midfield then any three from Mowatt, Adryan, Bianchi, Cook, Sloth or Dawson. Then if chasing the game can shake it up with an extra striker or attacking midfielder. Sorry to say I left when Morrison and Austin came off the bench to give us the midfield we had last year.

Just in from the game, wet and very disspirited. From front to back must be worst Leeds team for years. Morrison, don't get me started. Tonge non existant Cooper, the keeper strangers. Sharpe, flattered but never got in the box, went off in a huff.
Cooke and Mowatt were still on the Xboxes bless.

Coaches coach and are Mr nice guy, every one loves the coach!
Managers manage and make tough decisions and demand 100% of everyone all the time, that means they're feared a little bit.
Leeds need a manager not a nice guy, throw in a big central defender who frightens a few people and a central midfielder who every one hates but all secretly would have them in their team, a bit like Joey Barton, problems solved? Maybe not, but at least halved! (Been there, got the T shirt)

Sometimes to make a giant leap you need to take a few steps back, there is going to be no quick fix and getting rid of red fearn would be useless because we need a period of stability. Were on our 3rd manager this season it can't always be the managers fault! We need a good holding midfielder, a new centre back, another good striker to play with Antenucci and some Pacey wings to provide a new outlet. At least we have ambition now, something we've been missing for a while

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Its been like this for too long now.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Dec 2014 17:07:17
We are in trouble. Not getting the points where we need too. The management strategy is flawed. This is too big for Redfearn and sadly although he is experienced Cellino has got it wrong due to naivety. What a shame as I do think Cellinos heart us in the right place but what now?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I can't understand it- on the whole we have better players than last year but they're not clicking. Defence continues to be a problem, centre halfs not doing their jobs and no midfield cover. No wingers also means no supply to strikers which all means pressure on the back four, which continues to be a problem.

At least next season we might win a couple of games.ive said it from very early on, were gone!
If darko is on gardening leave can't he come back?at least under him we were picking up draws!

The on-off saga with Cellino and the ownership has to be affecting the players. We are in a relegation scrap now.

No Problem for Heskey though.

Yep, today at 36 years old and a few years out of English football he scored, we can't. Need I say more.?

I share your pain and feel like doing the same. What's the answer???

How do you really feel darren? We are still rebuilding and there are threats to the business such as the fa. Would you prefer GFH or Bates owning us because I guarantee you if that were the case we would be back in League 1 next year with a points deduction for going into administration yet again. The problem for right now is we have swapped the problem of poor finances for superior finances just with an owner who has very unconventional style meaning coach not manager. I don't agree with the method either because this is the championship not serie a or b. But I'd rather have better finances and Cellino than suffer the lies and usury of GFH and Bates. No one knows the future but I'd say in a couple of seasons we will be competing for a premiership play off spot. Cellino will either get it right or sell to someone richer than him. In meantime we watch our team play "pretty" at home and get turned over by relegation fodder and I know it's painful but it could be much worse.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't really see any positive's in this team! Bad management all around Mr cellinio has come in and stated yes stated that he could build a better team that we have! I know that times a big factor but time we ain't got! I'm all for blooding the youngsters but we have tried and not so trustedn players sitting on their wage packets at home whe

23 shots and we are 2 nil down. I questioned why everyone was excited about Redfearns appointment, think the pigeons are coming home go roost!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Dec 2014 16:49:27
Well there we go! But on the positive side, isn't it going to be far more interesting in a relegation scrap where every game will be do or die, rather than stuck in a boring mid-table position, where games are meaningless? From me, that will be a NOT

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can't wait for 2014 to finish.

Not so sure Andy, we have gone downhill in 2nd half of last few seasons. Hold on tight and pray.

Half time, 0-1, no shots on target against a team that has lost their last four games.
Time to earn your wages Redfern.
Turn this around and I will really start believing you are the man to take us forward.
