Fair report Dave. Watched first 10 minutes last night, and the rest today, and it was pretty dire. Clueless is a word that comes to mind. David Brennan always reminds me nit to compare with old Leeds teams, but even saying that this is one of the worst. Even Billy's Jack Ashurst era had some fight in them - this lot are bottlers! In all reality In an ideal world we need 9 new players - only Cook and Antenucci would be retained. Silverstein is pants - looks like a kid on a Sunday morning, unreliable. The more I see of Bamba the less I like. Out of position too often, slow and now stupidly petulant - big kid! As a team we can't pass, too often play it behind players, and quite why we were passing it back to the goalie from the half way line with 5 minutes to go I don't know?
As for that fat knacker, he's just the shitty icing on a very shitty cake. Has there ever been a less athletic-looking manager/coach? Oh, and Doukara - poser! I can't not be a Leeds fan, but this lot are garbage from top to bottom. Does Cellino really think he's such a maverick that he can operate a business/club like this and be successful. Having thought this might be our year, relegation now looks a clear possibility. To arrest this I would employ George Graham as a technical adviser, and sort the chuffing defence out. We have neither a decent defence or attack, but someone has to start organising the team! Depressed of Knaresborough!
