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.

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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

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)

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.
