Well Redders doesn't change bless him. Says Rotherham matched Leeds today. I thought I saw him at the game, but must have been mistaken. I was (for a change) , and I can assure him, they didn't! We weren't great, but didn't need to be. Rotherham are pants!

{Ed013's Note - He needs to say that mate, in secret he was raising a Leeds salute ;-)

Hi Ed. I know lol. Just making the point that I prefer big Steve's more honest interviews. When we are sh**e, that's what he says. He's a true Yorkshireman (isn't he? )

Just go in from game and have to say much better performance all round today new boy played a blinder and deserved his debut goal so hoping he carries it on now through season and if he does then what with bridgy Steve Evans deserves a lot of credit and backing in transfer window as he clearly got eye for players who are un loved where they were and got point to prove happy bunny tonight missus might get a treat and get a Big Mac! Are u reading this MM that's how to treat your lady! Lol p. s anyone know a " Big Mac " I'm totally knackard! Lol.

Nice to see Belusci back and the clean sheet. Pity if he's injured and we have to go back to having the two big lumps at the back conceding again. New lad has had a good start. Long may it last. Good result pity it wasn't for three points.

10 Jan 2016 01:28:06
Hess maybe it should be just bellusci in a 3 at the back in your eyes 😂 are you related to peppe?

10 Jan 2016 11:39:42
Hello D. J. Not related to Belusci just tired of the pundits and some fans that blame Belusci for everything that's not right in the team. I watch every game and from what I have seen having the two big lumbering lumps at the back (Cooper and Bamba) on the pitch together just makes conceding goals enevitable. We do OK when Belusci and one of the other two play (preferably Cooper) . If, however, there is any chance of Belusci being blamed for anything he is dropped and things get worse. Noel Whelan is the main culprit. He can't wait to criticise Belusci but praises Bamba even when he has been dreadful. Therefore its not about who are my relatives its about having our two best centre halves on the pitch. I get very frustrated when I hear fans and pundits keep suggesting that Bamba and Cooper are anything but a liability when they are on the pitch together. The results, goals against and their general play are plain for all to see. If we could get in a Belusci type player but better who could complement Cooper then so much the better. If we could get a better Cooper as well better still.

Very happy with that for a number of reason, first is carayol so far he has proved my point. People jumped on his back without even giving him a chance, I'm well aware he could be rubbish for the rest of the season but for now he seems a great signing so really happy and hopefully the goal and performance really kicks him on. Nothing worse fighting to find that first goal for first good performance, he has got that out the way so hopefully just continue. Second I don't see why Evans would play Byram if he was going anywhere soon or at all especially when in a game like today it's a perfect time to experiment. See no benefit in starting him if he was leavin next week, I could understand it if was a league game as we want points. Overall very happy, coyle seem half decent as well to fill Wooten spot. MOT.

No I think most of us were going to give the lad a chance, Evans has so far done well (brid) .
Nice goal from the lad and playing on the left with a few more games dallas on the right looking good .
Also agree with Stan and make the point that Doukara seems to have improved under S E .

09 Jan 2016 21:30:18
Just feel Bryam as had his head turned! Starting to believe that he is better than he is! Its not a criticism of him, just wish he would, commit to Leeds, for now, and when we get into, the prem, which I believe, we will under Evans, he will reap,the benefits, of a better contract! Evans I believe played, him today,so he would be cup tied! Hoping that would take away, some of attraction, for clubs to sign him!

We all want to keep Sam for the rest of the season at least but sounds very much that he's favouring a move away.
May be a a stupid question. Why don't LU offer Sam a contract for 2-3 years on the same pay (or a little more) with a clause in it to say if we don't get promoted (Lucas being optomistic) then we will let him go? That way we'd have him until the end of the season and get some money for him. Unless he definately wants away in January.
Thoughts anyone?

09 Jan 2016 16:57:29
My view is we want players who want to play for Leeds and its inevitable he will move on if the fee is right. We shouldn't be begging players to stay.

09 Jan 2016 17:43:48
Lucas, your idea sounds very well thought out and sensible. So as we are Leeds it definitely won't happen! 😀.

09 Jan 2016 15:53:25
Alot of Leeds fans eating there words already eh notts.

09 Jan 2016 16:29:47
Matty have a word with yourself. If he achieves this level of performance over the rest of the season I will accept it is a master stroke from Evans. I still contend he is not 'Bridcutt' quality however why would I want him to fail? If you wish to pat yourself on your back, have one from me.

09 Jan 2016 17:18:24
Have done pal, n bet you was one saying why we getting bridcutt when he can't get a look in elsewhere?

09 Jan 2016 17:59:34
Read previous threads, I felt that Bridcutt was a good signing. You have totally missed my point regarding Evans comments rather than the quality of Carayol. A winger who runs with ball and crosses is going to be better than say Mowatt on the wing. Possibly hold off on awarding Carayol player of the year until he has demonstrated his ability against Ipswich, Brighton, Middlesbrough etc. If he maintains consistent performances Leeds fans will support him.

09 Jan 2016 19:51:22
All my point is notts is that I rather players be judged when they played for us n not how they have played previously n u said if he's replacement for bryam fans will feel short changed but why? Bryam played well as soon as he wanted to leave n what's to say he won't do aswell as bridcutt. My point is its happened numerous times when players hasn't played well for one team n done well for another e.g gradel.

09 Jan 2016 20:13:59
I did not write that we would be short changed, I asked the question. Probably best to draw a line under this, it is clear we both want Leeds to succeed.

10 Jan 2016 01:15:40
Ye course we do goes without saying.

09 Jan 2016 15:49:04
Oh ye of little faith. Eat your words.

09 Jan 2016 19:02:36
Who is this directed at? Not many people on here slagged him off tbf.

MM.

09 Jan 2016 19:27:36
Ah mm there were a few.

I know everyone is wanting a proven championship goal scorer but I think it would maybe be a good idea to sign young premier league prospect on loan it seems to work well at this level I.e. Patrick Bamford, Chuba Akpom, Benik Afobe ( I know he signed permanently but he was scoring for fun in league 1.)

James Wilson. So I think that would be a good idea as long as we don't get a player on loan from a club we dislike or hate ( You know who I am on about. ) Also if he was on quite high wages I believe that Premier league clubs will pay 50% or maybe even 75% just to get some cut on the wage bill and a young prospect some game time. So what do you guys think?

To be honest if Byram is sold for a couple of mil then we should sign a proven championship goal scorer permanently which would be better. But maybe if Aunty Lucy is sold which I don't think is likely but if he is it would be a good idea to get two strikers and if maybe Byram money would be invested else where such as a proven championship cb which I don't think is likely but still. ( If we do sell Byram money invested in Proven Championship Goal ScorerIMO. ) But anyway let's cheer on the Mighty Whites tomorrow to a 2 0 win MOT.

09 Jan 2016 11:42:48
Sign a player from anywhere
If he does the business I don't care if he manc or Eskimo!
Just sign a goal scorer ffs!
We sold one for 12. Buy one for 6. Good business.

09 Jan 2016 12:00:46
remember Strachan! came from manutd, he did ok!

09 Jan 2016 12:09:59
I not saying we should not sign mank Liverpool or Cheslea permanently it is just I do not want get them on loan so we help out their young prospects.
