[LU] Bates
Because I am sad when I was home alone last night I had a look at the press conference and SSN coverage if the Bates take over in 05 on YouTube. I know our very own Betty was chair of LuSt and that time and gave an interview that was nothing short of prophetic. Just wanted to say fair play! Have you thought about getting back on board? I note that he couldn't help himself but have a dig at you in the press conference...what an utter c@nr he is.

Re: [LU] Leeds chairman's ambitions
He doesn't expect to take us to the premiership for 2 years But he does expect us to keep paying £30 a game to watch a mid-table team play poor football. Only in football is it permissable to serve up shite, week in week out and expect the general public to pay for the privilege.

Re: [LU] Bournemouth
I agree re Diouf, maybe with Ross now being moved forward Diouf can take his place behind the strikers. If the other 3 midfielders are Austin, Green and Mowatt then we have enough energy to make up for Diouf's lack of mobility but it would allow him to pull the strings. A bit harsh on Tonge to be dropped but he is pretty average most of the time. Then it is a case of finding the best partner for Ross from Varney, Hunt, Poleon and Smith. Allow Byram to ease his way back into the right back spot (again harsh on Peltier but such is life) and decide which 2 from Lees, Pearce and Wootton make the least mistakes and we will not be far off the play offs. Of course this also means leaving out Murphy, our biggest purchase so a gamble for a manager, and a player I still have high hopes for but who is yet to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and control it I agree about concentrating on what players can do rather than their deficiencies - I have said loads of times it is too easy to pick on a player at this level and pull him apart for the things he cannot do and is not really fair. McDermott is here for the long haul, I believe, and we need to stay 100% behind him. The mood on the bus back to Leeds centre was mixed, some right moaners, some appreciating how superior we were and how we have indeed improved since Warnock. The crowd of under 22,000 was poor until you look at other attendances - Birmingham and Blackburn only got 12 & 13k Dave My only criticism is that Diouf isn't getting a look in. I still think we create more with him in the side than not in it. Is there something we don't know? Is it a fitness thing? (like Byram?) So I'm not doom and gloom and my glass is still just over half-full.

Re: [LU] Bournemouth
Quite right Nick the cross to Pearce for the second was indeed Mowatt - I have seen it on TV. Also from TV it did look a penalty BUT he did not have control of the ball so it was not a clear goal scoring opportunity and so he should not have been sent off. Perhaps the ref follows the Sky experts rules rather than the rules of the game and decided the keeper was 'the last man' ? I also agree that for the most part they were woeful and still caused us problems - I always want to concentrate on us but I suppose I should have made it plainer how bad they were Also their goal was a real 'lets all turn off at the same time' moment. one that we have seen so often since McAllister, and no manager has yet sorted out. I guess that Wootton got dropped because despite being steady he has fallen into the same habits As for Cairns , the last I read Ashdown was injured and I do not think he has been playing for the reserves / development squad Dave From: "n...@6haroldplace.co.uk" To: "nat...@sky.com" ; leeds list Cc: "n.al...@adm.leeds.ac.uk" Sent: Wednesday, 2 October 2013, 8:17 Subject: Re: [LU] Bournemouth Hi Dave - thanks for the 4am effort - a few things I saw differently, but on the whole agree with the main points - I had Mowatt as man of the match, the kid can really play, let's hope he keeps progressing - but I know why you picked Warnock, he had a good game, good to see attacking agression from a FB - and that cross for Ross McC's goal was a peach.

Re: [LU] Bournemouth
Re Dave's Report Thank goodness... an optimistic report in a sea of whinging! I agree with nearly all that you said Dave, I think on another day had we had the "rub-of-the-green" we would have scored a bucketful. It was just one of those nights when things just didn't go how they should (penalty decision aside) All the people sat round me moaned all game and picked on every player when he made an error (Mowatt aside). Walking away from the game I met up with some other mates (who go to every game home & away) and they moaned that in general we are rubbish! And as for the whingers on Radio Leeds...! I thought I was on my own when I think we've definitely imporved from the Warnock/Bates days and we are just going through a sticky patch. As McD ponits out, he couldn't get the other couple of players in that he wanted. I guess these would be a striker and a winger. Given two decent additions I don't think we're far off. Instead of looking at everyone's frailities why can't people see their good points? We're a Championship club that can't over invest - not a team at the top of the prem playing in Champion's League! I thought overall all our players did okay last night, maybe with the exception of Hunt. I'm not doubting he's a decent player but it just isn't working out for him at Leeds. Also last night when we pushed forward with a bit of aggression/speed I thought we looked okay (admittedely it was against 10) - we look far better than when we break, and then pass sideways to allow the opposition time to re-group. I guess an attacking winger would help on this score. On the penalty decision, from our viewpoint (NE Corner Upper), I thought it was 50/50 and felt it was a bit harsh when he got sent off. Someone said to me that they didn't think McD knows what he is doing, i.e. which is his best team. He himself sort of admitted that on the radio after, saying he was unsure who to start with at the moment. He did praise Mowatt though (rightly so) My only criticism is that Diouf isn't getting a look in. I still think we create more with him in the side than not in it. Is there something we don't know?
