Loyalty is a 2 way street. blind loyalty is stupidity. How many of the 10000 allegedly asked about the new badge are Leeds fans? don't believe EVERYTHING you're told by the bosses. Read between the lines. Seasons tickets aren't cheap as are all the retail items we buy. We are not Dortmund and don't have the power to decide things, no matter what the gullible think unless we speak with one voice and are not mislead and ignored! TC OUT!

Sadly a point is as much as I thought we would get tonight. On the plus side it's a point, but shows how bad we have become. How ever some will dress it up, we were second best against a Poor Hull side. Got to give Felix some credit for his performance tonight, but not a great advert for the team if our keeper is our stand out player. The person I believe who should take responsibility for the failings at the end of the season should be Victor Orta and his Questionable recruitment of players.

There is absolutely no defending what is happening at our beloved club but, credit where it’s due it looks like Radz is looking to spend good money which hasn’t happened for a long time, on the other side I wish TC would grow some testicles and speak out and Orta should go, we don’t need him and he’s made a lot of mistakes, if I had made bad choices like him then I would be out of my job, no contract pay off either, just goodbye don’t come back and forget about a reference!

He is far too negative, we set up to absorb pressure and try counter, we don't have enough pace or quality to play like that, at the moment away from home our best hope of a goal is from a set piece. we should at least have a go at teams at some point during the game. both fwds were abysmal tonight

Just walking to the car for the long drive back, another away game where we have never really had a go at winning the game, they were poor, which tells you all you need to know about us, Felix made a couple of good saves, Pablo tried, Forshaw looked full of energy, lassoga and roofe offered us nothing at all, and I mean nothing, roofe was dreadful first half, neither gets in front of the centre halves to hold the ball up, when we have the ball they give us no options at all, lassoga has had 2 good games, he's a lazy t. t. Alioski -awful again, new left back looks ok, jansson and Beradi are at least committed. we don't look like we believe we can win a game at the moment. losing saiz has killed us

In all the interviews TC has given he has never once mentioned who he would like at Elland Road, not once has he said I am targeting a striker, midfielder etc etc, he is definitely getting what he’s given from Orta! Now I have been critising our recruitment and rightly so but if it’s true that we are prepared to spend £8M plus on a player after spending £4.5M on a midfielder then maybe the days aren’t so dark at Elland Road, I would though like it a lot more if TC was doing the ordering not Orta! MOT

I personally was impressed when we played against them at ER. He's a big, strong lad and bullied our defence at times. Wouldn't say he's worth 10mill but unsure who you can get (in a similar mould) for the same money unless you 'risk' it from abroad. He's only 25 too so room for improvement.

There's a striker who has scored 7 league goals in 18 for Blackburn who are flying at moment called Marcus Antonson. Wonder if he maybe worth a look :) We let him go on loan and replace him with grot? Cibiki? Bridcutt replaced with klich?

Start of season play offs were the stated aim Personally I think we'll just miss out Wood leaving wasn't really part of the plan. Never easy to replace a 20 goal a season player ( we've tried previously and bottom half of premiership are all looking too) Players coming in from another league will usually take a good half to adapt. Probably why we're so inconsistent. It's a hard league. Not much between 20 sides. Look at forest. Outplay arsenal B, lose at Hull Keep the faith, we're Leeds, it was never meant to be easy. It's us against the world every week
