Leeds United Thread

Rubbish day all round. Bradley Johnson had a ripping game for Brighton, his first game out on loan.

Scored another one last night.

Since he's been in the squad we've beaten Leicester and Milwall.

Give ya 50 quid for him.

gary mac has already said he wont be sold..just giving him some gametime for now...lets hope he sticks to his word, i thought he was one of our best at the back end of last season

 

[year of the roo]

Yeah I like BJ, still very young too. Exactly the type of player we need to be hanging on to.

Just on that game, I think Setanta will be showing that game live, so it will be a good chance to see Leeds play.

Could give a stuff about the FA Cup but it will be great to see us in action.

Tis indeed. Also a replay on Sat night at 8pm. Anyone know how to get a live feed of setanta? (don't say myp2p).

Becchio would have to be close to the signing of the season.

live on setanta in 6 hours..fire up....

 

[drewie_rama]

finished 1-1, we really shouldve finished them off given the numerous chances we had, i think this game really proved that without beckford we certainly dont look anywhere near as good going forward

 

[borgsta2006]

Leeds looked ok and probably should have won it. Replay away I guess now. Good Luck, I always liked Leeds.

 

[year of the roo]

Should have smashed them with only 10 men and all the possession and chances we had. Our penalty was rubbish, but we should have got another one late. Delph, Snodgrass and Robinson were superb. Becchio obviously missed Beckford up front as he was poor.

Interesting too that Ian Harte is back in training with us. Would be interesting to see if he is still as slow as he always was. I don't think he's worth the bother.

He's definitely not worth the bother.

Malcolm Christie on the other hand...

As long as he excepts our 3 quid offer, why not! I'd almost forgotten the bloke exists, how long has it been since he has actually played anywhere?

I'm getting more and more frustrated by the lack of consistency from the team. An extremely disappointing 2-1 loss to Northampton following a 4-1 home win on the weekend is how our season has gone. One great win is followed by a terrible loss and with this erratic form we are slowly slipping down the table while other sides start to find some form.

Another issue is our calamitous defending. Only five clean sheets from 26 matches and what seems like a complete inability to defend any set piece or any attack whatsoever. The fact that we seem to put out a different back 4 and alternate keepers each game can't help matters.

I've been reluctant to criticise Mac too much, but the patience is starting to run a little thin.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

well said mate

 

[Teagueeee15]

There is some good news though, in that the club have posted a £4.5 million profit, with revenue of just over £23 million. That's an impressive revenue figure for a league one club and the board have said that purchasing Thop Arch and Elland Road back from the council is now a priority.

 

[Catman]

Now for the bad news - Beckford out for about a month, could be longer, with a hamstring injury. 19 goals from 24 games this season gone for a month.

Just great.

Awesome. I think once we own TA and ER we will be set to get on our way back. Imagine spending a profit like that on players in L1 or the CCC for that matter. You would think you could find one or two handy players.

OK. Maybe L1 will be our home for a while longer.

Perhaps they could pay some of the debt they ran away from to make this profit possible.

I'm sure the likes of St Johns would appreciate it.

Not in the least surprised we got beaten by Histon this morning.

- Histon are in form and could sniff an upset.

- Our form is all over the shop. There is no consistency.

- We were missing our leading scorer.

- We can't defend f**king set pieces. In fact, we can't defend full stop. 4 cleansheets from 26 games is atrocious.

- Once again Gary Mac changes the side. There is no stability. Players hit form then find themselves on the bench and vice versa.

I don't care about the Cup, we were never going to win it. What worries me though is that the same problems that have plagued us all season continued and there appears to be little done to amend these problems.

 

[mushda]

Bloody hell, how embarassing.

Need to stop this bloody up and down form, hopefully the defense will get a work over in January. What the hell has happened to Marques this year? Was clearly our best defender last year and now can't get a game while we're leaking goals constantly.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Histon are in form? lol

 

[mushda]

Another away loss as expected...

We're really starting to fall away from the top spots now, can't afford not to win next week.

 

[Catman]

Another goal conceded from a f**king set piece!

If we don't beat Colchester next week then there's no promotion this season. Even if we do I'm still not confident of finishing in the top 6.

 

[Catman]

That'd have to be the final straw, wouldn't it?

Another two goals conceded from set pieces, more baffling team selection and rotation and another defeat, this time at home.

Thanks Macca, but it just isn't working and we can't afford another season in this shit division.
