Did ausman really win poster of the year?!

No. He won Poster of the Season. I was the Administrator. Brighty myself came in joint 3rd.

Aus just having that difficult second season following his well deserved win! Mind you with Mick’s long sabbatical at the time Aus made it count. I don’t always agree with Aus views but it’s never dull.

Bloody Ausman geezer sounds like a right plonker.
Ban him I say.
No room on this site for anyone agreeing with the manager.
Leeds play brilliantly every week and anybody says diff then they just don’t know football.

I normally agree with Aus but even if i didn't the site would be a lot duller with out him here, keep it up from the other side of the earth mate.

Well friday night in puerto Rico turned out to be a bit of an anti climax! We played well enough but frustrating in the last 3rd, hope MB sorts that out! The Gran canaria whites turned out to be Rich the barman (nice fella) but was expecting at least 8 of us, not much atmosphere, I had a mare on karaoke and sung like les dawson on a bad day and to top it off got followed by some scallywag looking to swipe the mrs bag! I turned around ready to batter the f####r and fortunately for him the shopping centre security man got there before me! it goes on a lot apparently in the canaries so my tip is don't carry a bag with you when out on the ale, really wouldn't recommend picking on a disgruntled leeds fan on his hols ha ha, can't wait for tuesday and see what happens in puerto Mogan! 😁 MOT fellow leeds brothers 😎.

Changing tac slightly
Was Gradel that good?
Personally thought he was hot and cold, nearly cost us promotion and only really played league one and some French stuff.
Not great for me.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Sep 2018 17:14:30
gardel was alright, he a top patch of form which cuaght the eye and made him look better than he was, that said he wasn't a bad player.

Lewis, snograss both better wingers since we been religated but maybe not many more would of out him since we went down.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2018 09:31:54
I'd rate Gradel as a shade better than Snoddy, mainly because Gradel could leave Snoddy standing in a race.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2018 14:09:57
Gradel was amazing imo and Larry got the best out of him.

I know I read the same, obviously I was suprised and would be delighted to get good fee for KP, however I can't see many players in this league getting near them sides and would be seriously shocked if this was true, however if true I will be over the moon although have to find a new leeds player to moan about and bore you all with! Hard call as I like the leeds sqaud at the moment.

It's all true, 12 Prem clubs after the lad, Radz has slapped a £35M price tag on him, rising to £50M. Southgate is going to play him between MacGuire and Smalling. In other true news, manyoo are going to replace moaning Maureen with Colin ;)

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 09:57:30
Lots of talk about burnout, fatigue, don't know if this will be the big problem. Think for us its more to do with relying too much on certain key individuals who would then loose form. Problem last 2 games with 2 first choice strikers out we had nobody to put the ball in the net, along with Roberts just needing that little bit of game time.

01 Oct 2018 14:12:12
We need to get some of the injured lads back and Forshaw as well, then we can rotate a bit and will be fine.

just saw a great question which i thought i would repost for people with time on hands and nothing better to do on a sunday. best leeds team you could pick but you can only use one player of every nationality. mine would be

schimel (denmark)
Dorigo (aus)
Kelly (rep ire)
ferdinhand (eng)
radebe (south Af)
bremner (scot)
bakke (norway)
gradel (ivory)
lewis (american)

30 Sep 2018 10:50:41
eddie lewsis was good player, player of the year i think as well, was hard to find another left winger of another nationality.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 11:17:55
al you're only allowed one english player

the change for my team could be cantorna for charles with the welsh spot going to speed in place of lewis.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 11:49:57
Great question had me racking my brain. Here's my picks in a 4-3-3

Schmeichel (Den)
Bakke (Nor)
Dorigo (Aus)
Radebe (S. Afr)
Jansson (Swe)
Dacourt (Fra)
Bremner (Sco)
Giles (R. Ire)
Yeboah (Ghana)
Charles (Wal)
Hasselbaink (Ned)

Throw in some subs like Wood (NZ) , Hernandez (Spa) , Klich (Pol) , Sabella (Arg) and we'd walk any league.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 12:44:38
Guys You do realize Dorigo played 15 times for England?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:08:52
yeah george and very good point but it does make left back a lot easier. if so i might put viukda up front, not have a left back and just get a lot of goals.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:14:29
What about Albert?
Wasn’t he South African
John Charles (Wales) . Does that still count as foreign.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:20:26
Albert Johanson left wing all day if Gray can't get in for Bremner, South African.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:23:50
But Australian born right?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:39:11

Charles, Wales.
Harte, Rep Ireland.
Gradel, Ivory Coast.
Bremner, Scotland.
Alf-inge Haaland, Norway.
Johanneson, S. Africa.
Yeboah, Ghana.
Hasselbaink, Netherlands.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 14:18:02
I'll keep Dorigo on a technicality then.
If FA lawmakers object (we are Leeds so they would) I'd play with just 10 as those 10 would still walk this league :)

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 15:01:43
I have checked, due to so many leeds fans namin dorigo in their team as Aus Leeds united have been fined 75k and docked 12 points.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 22:27:03
Oops, didn't read the different nationality bit, ok, Martyn (Eng) Harte (Ire) Radebe (RSA) Bremner (Sco) Charles (Wal) Dacourt (Fra) Gradel (Ivo) Bakke (Nor) Hasselbaink (Ned) Yeboah (Gha) Viduka (Aus) any good?

My season so far review. Been the best opening ten games for a long time. Apart from the league 1 promotion season I'm struggling to remember a better start since we came down from the promise land. Recent injuries to Roofe and Pablo have highlighted the lack of experience in depth, we've got a big squad but it's relatively inexperienced. Eg young Tyler coming in for Roofe, he's got the potential to be a very good player but at 19 we can't rely on him to lead the line. No leader in the middle, now Pablo is out then, saiz to selfish only thinking of his own game, alioski too frustrating stupid, Philips too young and unpredictable and Harrision also too young and also on loan. Ok wevtgot forshaw just coming back so hopefully he can plug that gap. Defence is harder to critique, all performed well up to press, maybe a couple of errors but who's picking as it's only to be expected at this level. BPF, like him but young, made a few errors and not sure he has what it takes to organise his defenders and bollock them when they do make errors. Sure he'll develop into a class keeper but a regular first teamers for a promotion chasing team, my jury is out. Played some outstanding footie, could have won a couple of the matches we drew, should have beaten the snakes team last week and therefore should be top. I'm favouring West Brom to win this league so we and a handful of others will be fighting for 2nd. Enjoy the rest of the season boys, it's sure to be the best and maybe one of the most frustrating ones in a long time. MOT.

great post and spot on anlasis in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 09:43:46
Great post Lucas, agree with your review to date.
In previous seasons under Thomas and Monkey we had similar strong run of results, however, we certainly never dominated chances, possession home and away like this team. And that is down to superior coaching, team ethic. If we had one Friday under Monkey (probably nicking a win) we would not have anything like the same level of confidence going into the next game for a result. The one remaining concern would be for burn out playing the relentless Bub system and believe we need a couple of ready to go players to supplement us in January.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 10:01:34
I agree ish Lucas. The things that bother me are
We didn’t buy what we needed. We all know that except Bielsa.
He doesn’t use subs enough.
We haven’t the talent needed for his style. 75% but not enough.
The defence has looked good and also midfield in the main. But not the finishing. As we all knew.
I’m not sure who will win the league and I think we can be up there.
But let’s hope we have done our bad spell early cause if we ain’t, We are in trouble as recent return is mid table mediorocracy again.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 10:47:57
Sack Bub, get Ausman in! ! ! ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 11:26:19
I just don’t go with flow.
If I’m not happy I say it. I’m not a yes man.
On this occasion seems Bielsa agrees with me.
Crap performance. Crap finishing. Bad result. Simple fact.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:09:56
i do agree Aus it was bad finishing and result but to create that many chances the performance could not of been that bad could it, plus the goal we let in was world class so not bad defeding.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 09:07:32
just watched the game as was at cbbies land with the kids.

how did we not win?

yes is was annoying but performance was good. some time we will have good luck, some times bad luck but at least our perfomance meant we should of won, which is a positive

think roberts is showing potential can't believe some are getting on him? he is young and showed he can be good player for us, and not playing in his favored role.

think BFP also made some good saves (better than some of the goals he let in) which for me shows good character

results are a worry, no getting around this no team going up is drawing wilth millwall, losing to brum and drawing with wednesday, the only win was against a team that my nan could beat

but then I said before derby and stoke games flattered us, are we really a top team in this league, we don't have biggest budget nor best sqaud, on top of this we have had bad injuires so over all done well and think things have been good.

MB's subs are starting to really annoy me i hate subs in 85 plus minutes unless time wasting which suggests happy with recent results and also think the team is already showing slight burn out which his teams are noted for so worrying as still long way to go

i hope we are in playoffs come xmas as that is good for us but worry is MB greatness will also be his flaw. pleased with performance but results suggest mid table to me.

Pleased with 24-1 conversion ratio bw?
Good for you.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 10:56:39
think you posted this before in a different post aus. and you got on my back and told me off for going on about KP.

i shall post exactly the same response as the other poster did aus.

of course not happy with 24-1 coverstion rate but happy with game to create 24 chances. i watched the millwall game, we were poor millwall were unlkcy not to score and could of had pen. had that game gone differently we would of lost

against sheff we looked like the winners, so would rather be in the should of cscored more camp than the we were A'''e-hole lucky not to lose camp

Aus to save time i don't think anyone would be happy with only scoring1 in 24 however i think anyone would be happy with creatin 24 chances

lets also remember both our forwards are out injured.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 11:28:17
I get that bw I think.
Don’t mention me repeating myself mate though cause you never do that eh?
Can I say I am not happy with creating 24 chances. Not happy at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:15:40
i know Aus that was my point, i do it but i am annoying P''T i expect better from you, espically after you jumped on me for repeatin myself!

but come on Aus change the record. we get it. you was not happy with conversion rate. get off the players back. trust MB. he knows better than you

(that post was tounge in cheek and not serious Aus)

i do agree mate conversation rate was poor but personally i think it was just one of them days, we hit the wood work and poor finishing on another day we could of have 5 and for me it is good that we are getting in them situations, roofe, pablo and later bamford and it will be a different story and roberts has promise so don't think strikers is a main worry as long as bamford is back when expected.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 03:40:42
Good to see Bielsa also unhappy with result and team performance. Good there are some of us not willing to settle for below par result.
We are in a season. There is no time for what ifs and he will come good and when this or that happens.
We need to pick up as many points as poss every week and we dropped 2 easy ones yesterday!
Luckily most of the teams around us are pussyfooting around at the moment too. But it won't be long before a top 3-4 start getting in their stride and we need to be in it with them.

Allioski is without doubt one of the weirdest players I've seen recently. Looks a world beater one week, then just a sprinting disaster with hair the next. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this time next week Leeds fans were back to raving about his performance. Crazy ol' game.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Sep 2018 08:21:21
He’s never looked a world beater. he’s the weakest player in our team, decision making is shocking, can’t beat a man, gets caught offside all the time. I can’t fault his work rate, but that’s the minimum you expect.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 08:59:48
he has looked a world beater, leeds v millwall last season he and lassosga were a different class. Alisko has pace and gets goals and assist, he scares other teams. he also loves to be offside and can be very inconsistent, that said so is harrision on the other wing, but then harrision is a kid so we should be more forgiving.

I think aloski is the fall guy by most fans and the media, yes he is frustrating but he is also the differece this season (go back watch early games which he won for us) . Until the others take him over in terms of goals and assist I think we have to accept he is the best we have got.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 10:13:22
There's something about Alioski and offsides. They are an element of the game that existed for him years ago. It's not just the English Championship that plays offsides so I believe by now this part of his game should be, if not eradicated, then certainly minimized. Why was he not pulled up in his U18s and U23s teams. Unfortunately this, coupled with his decision making, will, if not stamped out, greatly curtail his future. I, like some on here think that somewhere in there is a v good player trying to get out.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2018 13:17:27
i do think the others let him down a bit, MB has a style which suits Aloiksi but some times pass doesn't come. Lots of players have the offside problem. i do think in a man city team alosiki would be class and off side less due to the balls coming in. however play to the team you are in and wait a bit as he has pace and don't need to go early.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Sep 2018 23:44:19
How did we not win that one, created soooo many chances. Klich goal was class and great he given a chance by MB.
Results went our way with only Brom and sheff utd not great, but still 2nd and with our injuries, is fantastic achievement.
Really need Pablo back and playing him and Harrison wide (rest alioski) . Be great when saiz gets his scoring boots on again, need a few from him.
On Roberts, he is young and think he has potential but still feel we needed to invest in a quality forward. You look at broms forwards and can see why they are now top, just hope roofe can come back in and keep up his form.
