I would like to pick up on the point about losing to a poor teams, no matter what has happened over the last ten years Leeds United are big scalp for these teams and I think performances are raised against us, the current squad need to learn to deal with that.

I think any team in this league can beat any other team, but looking at yesterdays goals, they got through our defence like a knife through butter!

Agree0 Disagree0

Leeds a big scalp? LOL Where have you been for the last 20 years?

Just read through all the posts. It seems that true fans (on the whole) seem to be posting, frustrations - I am with you! But let's keep it real and let's get behind the boys! We are Leeds and we would probably have a whinge if we won every week! There will always be rocky performances, even from our best players. I just don't see how we can go out and expect to break teams down using the same formation! What works one week might not work the next plus teams get wise and counter our tactics - BMD needs to do his homework and mix it up!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I can't say I would whinge if we won every week, although I must say I can't remember what it's like, I'd be happy if we could just go on a run without a defeat.

Nothing to do with today's nonsense but the picture of NORMAN HUNTER on the official LEEDS web sight looks
very much like Rod Belfit to me or is it my eyesight?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It is defiinatley bites yer legs.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes it's Hunter but I know what the first post means. it does look a bit like Belfit. We three are obviously older fans. JD

I couldn't get a ticket in the away end as they were sold out, I managed to get a couple of tickets with the Huddersfield supporters, all the supporters were saying Leeds were poor and looked average, I've been a Leeds supporter for nearly 40 years now, I ended up agreeing with the Huddersfield supporters, we are poor and average, a mid table club at the best, but I'll still go to every game in the hope for some success, that's what been a Leeds fan is all about. living in hope for the better day

Believable0 Unbelievable0

40 years a fan and ir sittin in the away end at a derby slating your own team? Nice one, we played well were unlucky with a few things all in all not a bad showing just unfortunate we cudent get the win or atleast the draw, just remember hudds r on the same points as us and u can only play wats infront of u regardless of what people consider a "poor team" on paper, I feel well get result v yeovil

Back to earth with a bang! Very disappointing against a poor team who couldny buy a win until today. Just hope this new defender is quality cause leaking 3 goals against a bad side minus their best striker doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. Pissed off as I thought we could go on a good run as the next few games didn't look the hardest on paper. Oh well same ole LEEDS! MOT.

Gutted - did not get to game as overseas, watched on tv text service, they seemed to be in control - anyone there give a match report. Did the formation look as though it was working or is it poor homework on BMD part? Happy for the scorers, gutted for TL but reserve comment as was not there to see performance first had!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Listened on radio, we sounded like we did ok end to end football at times, sounds like we had a penalty shout at the end brian mcd recons it was one, didn't deserve to lose, very hard luck boys well done dexter blackstock scoring on your debut, and well done matty smith, keep your chins up lads, we are leeds!

Just forget it this season.
Just like the last 2. Fed up of excuses.
Players simply are not up to it.
They talk the talk but simply are not as good as they think.waiting for responses rubbishing my post and giving utter tripe responses.
I say wake up and realise we are below average side and will stay that way for a lot longer. Shrew leeds

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And we beat birmingham but they were the worst defensive unit I've seen in years.

Agree0 Disagree0

I realy don't understand what your expecting, ok so if were not good enough u want people to not go to the games?, I don't know what teams you generally support but in this league any team can and does loose its a tough league man were playing well just a bit unlucky today keep the faith

Agree0 Disagree0

Your post is rubbish. we played ok, very unlucky not to at least get a point. do you expect 4-0 every week? if so you're deluded.

Agree0 Disagree0

I go to every home game and still will. doesn't mean my comments are not correct. Me deluded? Mmm. How much money are u willing to put on leeds fin in top 6?. Thought not. Wake up smell the coffee mate, birm were worst defence I've seen at elland road for years. Shrew leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

And to 3rd post . When did I say not go to games? I will still go. But forget this season as I said. We will win and lose and be average,, shrew leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

So what if we win, lose, and be average? half of all the clubs in the country are in the same boat my friend. the majority of us can see we're not the best in the division. does that mean stop supporting the club because we're not likely to win anything? of course not!

Agree0 Disagree0

So what's your point then just havin a moan for the sheer hell of it? We can all see the teams not exactly going to walk the league but I see mo reason why we cudent sneak into play offs we wernt far off last season imagine the league will go in a similar fashion, this is just simply a case of a bad looser had we won today which could have easily happened we wudent have all these pointless comments from people who can't accept that you just don't win all the time, same goes for those oniots txtin after the game sayin were rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Look at the yeovil result, and Millwall, anybody can beat anybody in this league, plus local derbys are always unpredictable, just support the boys and stop slagging them off every time we lose.

Agree0 Disagree0

I def don't slag my team off every time they lose. But it's wearing thin been optimistic. shrew leeds

Shocking second half, could keep the ball, smith was like Bambi on Ice and could keep on his feet, shocking defending, how can we play so well against Birmingham and play so poor against Huddersfield is beyond me, shocking!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Bet you wasnt calling matt smith bambi last week no of course not because your just a fickle fan just like most of are so called best fans in the country fan base if where that good then we should be getting 25k at the very least against yeovil

Anyone got any live feeds for the game today?

Another international added to the squad, and an experienced head for our young defence to learn from. he's no world beater, but perfect for this level.

Re Bechio. I have changed companys 16 times in the last 24 years and bar a few, have always left on good terms. I am a seafarer and companys know why we do it. I do it to get a better income with better conditions, better leave, better training etc Some companys have asked me back for relieving work. I have left good companys because there was a better paying one offering me a job. That's life. Becchio loves Leeds but he has a duty to put himself and his familys future first. let's not slag him off for doing his best for his family and career. Most of us would leave our current employer if a much better offer came in from a rival company I think.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Leeds united has been good enough for becchio for long enough, perhaps he would not have left iff Johnson, howson, and snodgrass had not departed he followed them to Norwich for some reason, like they are all big buddy's just a thought not just about money but will take it iff it is offered, did we sell the other three because we were skint or something, also thought neil warnock weren't happy with lucciano's attitude at one point, ( Ed any thoughts, please correct me iff I'm wrong)

I think bmd is a quality manager and is definitely the right man to take us forward but I have to question his judgement on strikers, he has wasted good money and I mean wages on hunt and blackstock two very very average footballers with very very poor scoring records, when we sign a new striker the fans should be excited but I have to say that with hunt and now blackstock the only feeling I had was disappointment, when money is tight as is usually the case with LUFC then every signing has to count and if neither of these guys played for LUFC ever again would we miss them? I think not! And when bmd states that he's had 6 loan bids rejected then I wonder just how many were strikers and just how far down the list blackstock was, feels like we've signed him just for the sake of signing someone I'm sorry but HE IS NOT THE ABSWER!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just give the lad a chance

You are slagging him off before he has even kicked a ball. Just get behind the team and support mcd's decisions. or at least wait until he has played a few games before you start slagging him off

Agree0 Disagree0

Glass Half full or half empty?

Agree0 Disagree0

Only time will tell, at this stage how can you know he is not the answer?

Additionally, who would you have gone for, just wondering. If there is a striker out there that will score goals surely any parent club would keep him, ALF is a prime example.

We ain't going to get someone from the prem as the clubs are either wafer thin in the strikers front (Norwich, West Ham etc) or have guys that are top class upfront with a bunch of unproven kids as back up (Man City, Arsenal Man U)

Championship sides, we are only going to ba able to sign a striker who is 3/4/5 down the pecking order. So I say just let him play and put pressure ion the rest of teh strikers to deliver. Its only 3 months.
