Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

We don"t change tactics, even though we changed personnel. Still long ball up to Ant who isn't suited to that game. Same slow build up in midfield. We need another striker a midfield player and a centre back. Heavy metal, not Led Zeppelin more Bad News.

i thought we broke well with pace yesterday quite a few times, we did try long balls which was silly but that was not our only game plan yesterday.

Im not too down with the loss today take away the poor mistakes we matched them all through the game, and if we had been given that goal it would I think it would of been a game changer

agree if cooper had played, our goal been given, their player sent off we could of won. okay lot of if's and's and but's but still not a bad performance 3-0 was very harsh

It was a brave decision to go 4-3-3, especially against a dangerous team that had won 6 on the bounce.
Midfield was overrun, apart from 15 mins at the start of the 2nd half, if Wood doesn't play we don't have a target man up front or someone to hold the ball up,
Still think the team lack leadership and experience, very dissapointed when I left the ground, fans superb again though.

Another week gone by and still I say we are almost there.
In every game we have twinkled but not shone altho I believe the capability is there (under the surface) it just needs watering and feeding and very soon those shoots will flower. Altho draws and defeats do not make good reading we have not been massacred nor outplayed for any lengths of time. Have patience dear friends it will come. Maybe not this year, but all realists will have accepted that at the start of the season.Today we took on second in the league (ignoring the 3 goals we gave them) and equalled them in most departments

Rosler playing his cards close to his chest. As he wouldn't say why he made the changes he did so conspiracy theorists might say it was Cellino's call to play an Italian centre back.

One good thing comes out of that though.

Betcha Bellusci doesn't feature in an 18 man matchday squad again. Time for Ross Killock and dare I say Wooton. As Cooper back up. Also time to go into loan market.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 18:07:53
Well Heslian we'll never know - as per usual. But apparently Cooper and Bamba had been ill during the week. On form I love Bellusci but regrettably he is far too unpredictable and can be a liability. But I agree with other posts about a call from the goalie or Bamba.
Not sure if it's annoying or encouraging that despite the score we were not that bad

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 20:47:03
Agree speedy if it hadnt been for the poor mistakes and bad luck we matched them easily and if we had been given the goal we deserved it would of been game changer

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 22:53:54
The keeper called for it bellusci put his hshd up to say sorry to keeper in fairness though if silvestre was not so flappy with catches he would of left it and bamba no excuses I watched him slip twice b4 the 3rd ended in a goal should of swapped boots we did look ok bar the obvious tho

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 16:12:02
Anyone who has ever played a game of football in there life at any level knows that you don't attempt what Bellusci did when there are two players behind you both coming on to the ball. Silver Vest should've called for it in the first instance as he has the advantage of being able to handle it. Failing that his captain Bamba, should've ben making the call as he was facing the ball. Either or with a big shout and danger over. Bellendsci has always been unpredictable from day one and gives me the heebie jeebies every time he goes near the ball. He doesn't appear to be a team player in my opinion and this instance just proves it. Why on earth he didn't start with Cooper is beyond me.

What an odd game. Didn't play poorly IMO and looked decent. Botaka looked decent and we played the ball around nicely at times. They didn't have a sniff apart from some superb crosses. It was 3 bad errors that cost us not a a poor team performance.

I like Uwe but I don't get why you would bring Bellusci in Cooper has been good and steady. Oh and for Bellusci I just on the crazy chance he may read this forum he's a tip for you. You are not an Italian superstar who is doing us a favour your a small, weak, pathetically dim defender who is lucky to be part of our great club. You are not a play maker and you are not a leader.

Stop thinking your bees knees and just do the simple stuff right. Sorry to put hate on a player but I can't stand the guy. How many times has he f'd up for us. All good saying sorry to the fans after the game but it's nearly every time he plays! He's a joke. Do one. Also the disallowed goal killed the game. Another joke!

3-0 as expected. Central defence is still woeful. Bamba the pick of a bad bunch. Belusci and Cooper not good enough. We lack cutting edge although Botaka looks to have potential. Doukara came on and contributed very little. Midfield looks ok but no spark in front of them. Dallas is ponderous and although I hate to say it Wood hasn't been brilliant so far either. Worst touch in the division. He may improve with better service. Botaka seems to be able to cross and create a bit. Antenucci always looks like he is going to get on the end of something and is our only player who can finish. We didn't play too bad today in comparison to some other games but until we can create a spark going forward we are not going to score enough. Belusci should be finished now. Doukara hasn't got what it takes and Dallas is just a steady up and down merchant. Therefore we still need a couple of CH (Bamba is generally ok -Cooper and Belusci- Not). Buckley might make a difference, Botaka might make a difference. This game just focused on what's been wrong for sometime which we have got away with. Conceding two at Bristol City, Appalling against Ipswich, poor 2nd half against Derby, Lucky at MK Dons, poor against Wednesday etc. We have not had one full game where we have been good throughout. Having said that we have the makings but we really need to step up. Another CH possibly two is a must for the future.

Ashamed to be a supporter of the Leeds players but certainly not ashamed to be a supporter of Leeds United, our away supporters are the best in the world, 3 nil down and we still sing our hearts out, just wish the players knew what Leeds United meant to us,
Even when the players are getting off the coach they ignore there own fans, apart from the odd player the most of them should think hard before putting a Leeds shirt on, they don't know what it means,
And don't even get me started about bellusci!! Feck me my grandad could play better and he's been dead for 10 years!!
A big high five to the away fans!!

ok more comedy defending but still other than mistakes don't think we played badly. bell can't play no more and other thinuwe must fix is quality of dead balls, always hitting first man or wall. fix that bring back cooper get wood fit keep on progessing and it will be a good season for us I promise

Watching in Oz

Omg

A keeper called dracula who hates crosses

Free kicks and corners not getting past first defender

Belluchi and Bamba are very poor

Midfield while energetic is oh so fucking slow without one person to give that defence splitting pass

Forwards who can't run or hold the ball up

On yer bike UWE

Harsh but that team lacks pace guile and heart

27 Sep 2015 14:15:35
Cannot understand Rosler at all. Why in a game like this did he tinker with the defence. In the the I have preferred Belusci to Cooper, but whilst not brilliant has been getting better. Belusci on the other hand has been out of sorts with Leeds. There has been talk of him going back to Italy and he has been on the bench. I would say his heart isn't in it and Rosler should have known. Big mistake as otherwise we are not playing too badly. Still lack cutting edge up front. Botaka looks better than Dallas who I do not rate at this level. I assume this will be Belusci last game. He did have potential, and is a better ball player than Cooper, but his temperament suspect and his heart clearly isn't in it. Predict 3-1 at best.

you don't rate dallas. he has been really good for us and last year was amazing at this level. don't get that comment at all?

NOT Rosler's fault, my grandma can defend better than our back 4

Goal 1;Taylor over whelmed, 2 central defenders mis timed headers, right back failed to get crucial challenge in

Goal 2; Bellusci, enough said, very POOR performance, all over the pitch

Goal 3; GET SO LONGER FERKING STUDS!

SCHOOLBOY ERRORS

27 Sep 2015 15:35:01
Dallas flatters to deceive - just a journeyman. He is ok but very average. Can't understand anyone calling him 'amazing'. He is just a steady up and downer. Very really goes past anyone and, for me, that is what wingers should do.

before leeds fans get all negitive. borugh are good team and will probably go up. we have not played that bad. created a few chances played with pace and purpose. always hard without our best attacker in woods any champ team would miss him. Bota ka looks decent. Playing bell was mistake and has cost us. learn from this and move on. I have seen us play better and lose so still feeling good about season.

own goals happen mate all the time. bobby moore put a few in the back of his own net, spose he was sad as well? bellusich should be no where near our team but other than that far from sad. I have seen many a sader leeds team. if losing to brough is sad then most championship teams will be sad this season. diamond you need some perspective. then you have called yourself diamond so.?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 13:55:52
Why oh why did uwe play bell end?, why would u change your centre of defence who have done ok for a game like this and now Mr bell end scores an own goal, we look like getting stuffed today

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Sep 2015 14:11:23
huge mistake, I think cooper has been better than sol and bellend is accident waiting to happen. hopefully this will be last we see of him. other than that we have played well. moved the ball well, had a lot of it and played with some purpose (would prefer bit less pretty and bit more imputus but still)

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 14:16:58
Well own goal clearly a disaster but having just seen the replay, Bamba and Silvestri were behind him and I wonder if they called to tell him he could leave it. Not that it really matters now

if it was any other defender speedy I would agree but bellishci is always full or mistakes so I will blame him %100

Hope you're right Vidmeister. I'm going 1-0, Bamba to be booked inside first 10 mins, Cooper to score on 67 mins, Leeds to play in yellow, 2432 away fans in attendance, home team get booed off the pitch and Krankhorse (whatever he's called) to blame the ref for not giving a stone wall penalty . Odds of 2500/1. If that comes in, keep your money in your pocket old boy, I'll buy you a half!

Sam is 22. If he commits for another 3 years he could be in exactly the same position at 25. The future of LUFC under Cellino has to be uncertain and his remarks about Sam midweek have not helped. I think he has great career ahead of him and has to make the right decision for himself now. I don't understand why LUFC fans are being so unkind. I have sympathy for his now position and wish him well. The team will miss him as we did when he was injured.

he don't want to play for leeds why should we be kind. I think some including myself would be kinder if we thought he was genuinly good enough for prem but I dont, so he can go and sit on bench then end up on loan, then back at lesser champ club in few years (bit like a few other beckford comes to mind)
