I see Barnsley have signed Jack Buckland. Could we sign anyone? Please? {Ed013's Note - How about bob backlund}

26 Sep 2013 22:03:11
Yes we'll sign jack sh*t as usual!

Ed thinks he's funny but flipperlincs is dead, right. Look at all the business been done in last few months/weeks. a joke for a club of our size. Jesus we are bottom of the lot. Brum, Barsnley, and lots more are getting players in. Sorry to moan but i'm sick of asll the rubbish. MOT {Ed013's Note - I spent many days as a comedian}

Bob backlund? he's nearly as loopy as Warnock that guy lol

Hi all fellow Leeds fans, was at the match last night against the Toon. Would have been criminal to miss the opportunity of watching super leeds considering it was in my 'backyard' so to speak as just had to travel from Northumberland!.

Unfortunately was in the Toon end as a work colleague had a spare ticket, this was torture, sight and sound of fellow leeds fans in upper opposite stand singing marching on together, we all love leeds etc and I had stand there . stum, zip, AAARGH.

Our supporters were fantastic.

Just wanted to comment about Matt Smith and some of the other leeds players performance. Matt Smith was totally out of his depth last night, he looked clumsy, heavy, and lethargic IMO. I was hoping he would have been replaced at half time, he's a big lad, he should win most aerial battles but he was struggling to win anything. Newcastle were good last night and maybe I'm being harsh on Smith as up against premiership opposition. Dom Poleon is going to be a top player one day but he is a couple seasons off the polished article,

Ross McCormack is a class player and he didn't put a foot wrong last night held his own easily. Was great to see young Sam Byram back and he had a good game, Leeds played much better in the second half but it's the usual frustration there was no outlet when going forward. Any crosses into the Toon box were poor, if we had the quality to supply a quality finisher we could have scored easily last night as their defence wasn't brilliant by any means.

It's difficult being patient but I know shouting the odds about lack of players coming in doesn't help. Support the team support the manager.

LUFC always

We are all going to need hell of a lot of patience this season, As for me I will support leeds united always even if they are relegated, I cannot help it, they are in my blood after going to watch them for 54 years. Yes I would love better players, yes I would love to not lose a match, but don't ever ask me to stop supporting the team I love. {Ed013's Note - Good post}

I have been a supporter for over 50 years and I agree entirely. I do think we have the right man in BMD and the owners have done good things.

Well said mate its about time a few more of are fans felt the same way just back the club its not a lot to ask for is it

I think we all support leeds don't we? that's why we are on here. Whether I have supported leeds for 50, 30 or 1 yr dosent matter. I think mcd will lead us to the prem. I also think losing 4 out of 5 games sucks. I also think blaming not getting penalties is pointless. And I also think our strikers are not up to it. that's just me and my opinion. Not negative just opinion

Well said, someone with a bit of patience & being realisitc.
Rome wasn't built in a day, especially if there was a lot of demolishing to do before hand.
In McD & GFH I trust.

In support of fellow fans, have watched LUFC since the age of 12 and am now 56, fair bit of joy and a lot of dissapointment during that time but would never support anyone else. I love football but if I stopped watching Leeds would probably stop watching football period!

I agree with the original poster & said something similar on here the other wk about being patient. We can't spend what we've not got & we can sign loadsa players - it's going to by a gradual thing over this season & the next couple. I can live with that. Personally I'm happier than last season although it's obvious we've still a long way to go.l - can't do it all immediately.

Ive supported the whites since 1485

Was at the game last night, even though the football wasnt the best, we was keeping possession well and was looking for that killer pass. don't think Matt Smith is our answer to a striker. We need someone with intelligence, who knows when to run behind strikers and run onto the balls being fed through by McCormack, Diouf even Byram etc.

On a positive note the fans were outstanding! Makes me proud to be a Leeds fans for our non stop support even if we are losing 2-0!, completely outsang the so called 'toon army', even though someone on there banter page thinks they outsung us? (would like to know what the noise was like for someone not at the game and was streaming it)

It was if leeds were at home if i'm honest also think we deserved a goal! so unlucky

Away fans nearly always outsing the home fans it happens at Elland Road pal.

No they don't name the last set of fans that outsung us at at home

serious problems if we lose at millwall

In your own mind pal. We are in transition and will come good. You won't like that though as you'll have nowt to whinge about.

Give it a rest

Bmd is really good at picking his teams head up and getting them firing on all cylinders so I feel confident we will finish somewhere near top 6 this season and probably top 6 next season

I'm bored of these people slagging the club off when we've had a few bad results. I'll admit that we need goals but we are fairly solid at the moment, we keep the ball better than we did last season and Michael brown isn't playing.
If we finish higher than we did last year then that is progress.

At this rate, we won't!

Agreed!

These people are just concerned a few more bad results could leave us finishing lower than we did last season.

It's not the lack of goals that concerns me its the lack ambition beein shown by the board at first and a manager who apparently has funds if needed refuses to address the blatently obvious issues in the squad

Lay off the board, do you not know anything? GFH have invested as much as they are allowed just to stop us going under. They have no funds because of the season ticket and catering scams Bates pulled off. We cannot just keep buying players as we are stuck with to much deadwood already eating up the wage bill
By next season the debts will be clearing and a few of the unwanted players contracts will be up and we can start moving forward.
