Leeds4alongtime. think your time is up if you aren't satisfied with our win at derby. Wood is not the finished article yet. He is still learning his trade. At least he is in positions to miss chances. Once he settles down he will score more. He needs backing not slating. The whole team and set up need our backing. Lift off is just round corner. I am proud to be a LEEDS FANATIC. I am proud of the team and management and Cellino/Pearson. They are building a team that is going places. BACK THEM. MOT.

Hunters, he has an agenda. There's some focus on Cellino relationship with GFH right now, stuff to do with the ground and the future.

Gfh always going to be a problem. They can't invest their own money so any money they put in needs a return for investors. If cellino buys ground back without up front cash from gfh he needs to make sure they don't profit from his investment and future developments. Complicated but doable

I'm not sure why some of our so called fans are intent on slagging off Wood. He is doing a good job despite the lack of consistent quality service at times. He holds the ball up well and brings others into the game and is scoring. Ok he might not be fully fit yet but I am confident he will prove to be a real talisman for us. Get off his back you doubters and get behind him

Totally agree Clarke, he has scored 3 in 5 in the league and is a constant nuisance to any defence. What more do people want?

I posted as soon as he joined that half of his goals would be solo goals. We would never get that with Morison. His hold up play can improve but what he does right now is sufficient at this stage of season. You don't want to burn a player out. We are so close to having a playoff worthy squad.

any one slagging off wood clearly has no idea. three in five at new club (one wonder goal as well) scores different types of goals. record at other clubs no one can argue with. strong and skillful, always causing problems and making defenders worry and think. he could either be in our team or playing against us and I know what I would prefer and think anyone with half a brain would agree

I know I will get slated (but hopefully not) for saying I thought Woods missed many chances yesterday and should have been taken off much earlier, it is perhaps provident that he wasn't considering the outcome. I can't help feeling the winning goal was slightly lucky going in off the post, from where Woods was standing it should have been a clean shot straight past the keeper?

Looking at previous posts over the last few hours there appear to be a lot of others that still aren't convinced about Wood either.

Byram is still running all over the field and I for one would be gutted to see him sold rather than played in his strongest position. He is NOT a striker, he is a defender and a class one at that. I am really not surprised he won't sign a new contract when he is made to play out of position so much?

We were all over Derby in the first half, and we came out for the second half with a totally different mentality - the WRONG one!

We rode our luck, fortunately, and got the right result, but I think it was luck when you look at the possession statistics for the second half.

Lets enjoy the result, though, we have lost far better games.

What a load of toddle. Wood I'd paid to score and that's what he is doing, he works well off the ball also always winning headers and holding the ball up , the fact we were playing one up front until Ant came on what more do you want. As far as Byram is concerned he is too lightweight, gets knocked off the valley too easily and his head doesn't appear to be with Leeds at the mo . Thank you

Leeds4alongtime what game were you watching dominated first half under pressure as expected playing away picked our selves back up and full deserved the 3pts give your head a wobble lad

Not often lost for words but sorry Leeds4alongtime you amaze me. Don't think you know the first thing about football. Your post was unbelievable

Guys leeds4along has an agenda. He's not disguising this. There are things going on with our club behind the scenes to do with ownership, the ground and our future.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2015 08:32:13
Leeds4alongtime You are entitled to your opinion and if Wood hadn't started scoring then I think there would be more people agreeing with you. However, I do think he offers a lot. He's strong and has to make half chances out of next to nothing sometimes and with the right support he'll push on. We were awesome the first half of Saturday and if we can play similar to that from now on, happy days! I do think you have a point about Byram being out of position. Him and Mowatt have started slow this season and some cynics out there would say they've had their heads turned with attraction from other clubs, but early days yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Whatever is going on behind the scenes none of us are privy to do whatever is bantered about on hee is purely that. You have twice mentioned the same thing in relation to behind the scenes stuff. So go on on then what do you know ;))

Never ceases to amaze me how negative some of our fans can be! We dominated the 1st half, pulled ourselves back into the 2nd after a slow start & earned, I thought, a deserved win. Let's try giving the players a chance instead of slagging them off instantly.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2015 11:45:41
woods comments are clear and people have covered everything to say why it might not be a sensible opinion but the one think which has not really been mentioned which I think has to be is about leeds coming out with a different mentaility for the 2nd half. the wrong one.

No derby were dominated in first half and upped there game after manager talk and half time. we didn't play worse, derby played better. They are good team at home and you have to expect at some point they were going to dominate the game. we could of conceeded more but keeper and defense did well (and there player missed a sitter but that happens at this level). every one is entitled to their opinion but opinions can be shot down and this is one post I just don't get or agree with at any level sorry

It's are club we love and at times we can agree to disagree ,my take on Woods is yes he did miss a good number of chances ,but he has not until coming to us had that much 1st team football .
Also he has scored more goals in so many games as others did nearly all season!
Dallas will score but he will also provide ,hopefully so will the wizard .
We all know just how much difference it makes if or when a striking partnership really works and it looks like we could have one .

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think Berardi gets enough praise. He has been the most consistent of any player this season which is probably why it will be easier to sell byram (agree with below posts, heads not in it)

Totally also ADEYEMI deserves a mention after losing Austin ,think he's done very well.
Don't think we need another striker ,think we should get Moore ,Jordan Botaka to sign and has lots of pace let's hope his a steal.
this team is really beginning to take shape Strikers scoring ,a very good midfield and netter defence ,when not using Wotton .
I still would like to see Irwin on the bench and getting some time in the future ,it's a long season .

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Aug 2015 08:43:06
Agree about Berardi. Has come on leaps and bounds since last season. One stupid and unnecessary challenge on Saturday but he's working hard on that side of the game, and for my money should be the permanent rb. He's the one reason I won't be devastated if and when Sam goes - and agree with others that Sams heart doesn't seem to be in it at the moment. So won't be any huge shock if he goes by tomorrow

Any of you eagle eyed guys know who Uwe was pointing too at the final whistle yesterday? wonder if it was Massimo!! great game to watch and how good was Cooky.
2 more players in, hopefully a cb and this wizard from Holland, apparently a RW, I have a feeling we may lose sam, he's not been himself last few games and with no extension to his contract, looks like MC is looking to cash in.
Be a Shame but I for one will wish him well if he does go to the PL, with baradi playing so well, I think we have good cover at right back and some good academy lads coming through the 21s at full back, i'm not worried. roll on now to Uwes old boys brentford and a super home win. MOT

Think we could do with solid cb ,through luck we were not punished and again are marking on set plays needs re-dress.
Dallas and Wood had a quiet game but still a good assist and goal which has promising signs written all over it.
Taylor ,cook and beradi played really well ,3 points away at Derby is an excellent result .

Watford player went to sheff wed unlucky for him . good yesterday 20-25 mins second half attack us on the cards overall good . think dallas should be on right . not doing as well as I thought . still lack cover on beach . when wooton and doukara on it not good . normally we say need break but this time I wish we didn't slowly but surely we are getting there .

Think there's more to come from Dallas plus he's already done two assists, just need a win at ER now and stay unbeaten as long as possible the points will rise.

I am also very impressed with Dallas.
On his way to being a very good asset for Leeds.
Looks about 90% fit though.

Watched game sober last night after seeing school rendition of Oliver which was astonishingly good!
Think we need cb cover. A passing midfielder like Mcallister Beckham type. Pick a pass from 40yds away and Dallas cover.
Was a tad disappointed with Dallas and Wood (apart from goal, I shouldn't moan really. I always say strikers should do what they are paid for and he is - but not convinced on him yet ). And also mowatt!
Team looked better with murphy in it
The rest were good!

Excellent win lads, was coming. Look like a team now. Another pacy winger coming, some defensive cover we are in with a shout. And it put £10 in profit for season, put win bet on every game so far, 9/2 got me back in front. Will wake up with a smile on my face in morning, that will worry the wife
