Nick,
not sure why you think the worst defeat in the club's history is meaningless.
Like you I am not calling for Macca's head but he needs to wake up and smell
the coffee quickly.
For the games we have lost recently a lazy journalist who couldnt bother
watching the games could have submitted a pre-prepared report just saying that
Leeds dominated possession, lacked penetration and were beaten by set plays. It
happened again yesterday but this time to a team of part-timers. We are too
predictable and frankly teams do not need to work hard to score against us.
What are we doing in training - isnt Stan Staunton an ex international
defender??
The conditions were poor but you could tell that before the KO and after 20
minutes it was clear Delph was not going to play a key role. Prutton should
have been on from the start as should Showumni.
As for Lubo, his performances this year have been dreadful and he was supposed
to be marking the lad who scored their goal yesterday? Bringing Marquis back
for his 1st game was a mistake, he had a shocker yesterday.
Their two front lads seemed to control the ball ok on the surface.
Need to make signings in January, all defenders. If we are off the pace in the
New Year I fear for our manager, I really do.
Regards
Phill

future is concerned, I don't think there should even be a question. We're
playing the best football I've seen from a Leeds team for several years (making
the necessary allowances for the difference in standard and opposition). We are
apparently, the leading goalscorers in all 4 divisions, so some ITV gonk said
yesterday. What needs sorting is the defence...and in reality what that means
is either some proper work on the training ground or one of
Marques/Huntington/Telfer to rediscover some form to play alongside Lubo - who
did a good job with good attitude yesterday - or to bring in a new CHalf.
Because what is lacking is a proper authoratative CHalf to boss the defence -
the full backs are as good as most in this league and wouldn't be such a weak
point if the centre of defence was solid.> > Finally, even given the
conditions, the approach of some of the players was naïve yesterday - the
attempts to run and dribble the ball or to pass it along the ground were always
doomed to failure. They should know that it has to be clipped or even just
hoofed, sometimes. Thought Becchio's control was dreadful, Robinson continually
headed up blind alleys and lost the ball, and I can't remember Hughes making a
pass that didn't go either into touch or to one of theirs. > > At least Enoch
gave their defence some work to do. That said Lubo was unlucky twice and their
fullback Gwillam made two blinding last ditch tackles. Good luck to them.> > >

the bloke mention the Histon ducks, pubs, post office and lake - sickening, and
then we started going on about Montgomery and Poterfield I just had to turn the
sound off. Shame really 'cos Beglin was dying for us to get an equaliser. > Few

ever by a Leeds player. He was shocking. Even in those conditions I expect our
players to be able to pass and control a ball. THis was a step too far for
Bechhio. He had two very good chances and failed to make the keeper make a
save. He was also outmuscled and outhought by a postman. > I don't care how
many goals he will score in this league (Kandol proved that in this league in a
