find it really interesting before yesterdays game there was so much negativity on the net about the team selection and Hock. On this site it was difficult to read any post without reading how we are going to be relegated and the team and manager are carp and MC is a lair. We need a new striker we need new wingers we need center backs omfg we are rubbish before we kick a ball.

We then played Dundee and played pretty well. The football was attractive the team hungry. Even morrison had not a bad game. The new signing proved they can actually play a bit, ok more than a bit and the Hock could actually be fairly smart. We have kids coming through and all seemed fairly positive.

Dont see many of the negative posters saying anything much. But then they are only happy when we are loosing.

Nice one Spain. I shall be investing many beer tokens on the 2/1 for us to beat Millwall next saturday, then through the fog of a huge hangover I shall invest in the 40/1 for the title. Well, hopefully! The future is bright, the future is White

I agree with your comments Spain. From a personal point of view the only negative comment I made was with regard to selling a central defender without a replacement a week before the season begins. Two experienced players in this position is definitely not enough but hopefully we will bring someone in. We are undoubtedly in a period of transition and this is the best thing that's happened to us for many a year so I can't understand the general negativity either. God knows what people will say if we don't beat Millwall. It's going to be a season of highs and lows but let's not get carried away with doom and gloom after the first game of the season. there'll be another 45!

Spain well said. ;)

Whose on 50/1 to win it and which Victor Meldrew put his bucks on the 7/2 to be relegated?
CANNOT believe a Leeds fan actually took time to look at the relegation odds!

Already backed the boys to go up this season 3 weeks ago. Remember Rocky? The unknown Italian Stallion surprise. Lol. A year ago who had heard of Cellino or Hockaday?
Is Cellino our Italian saviour?
Maybe. Just maybe these unknowns can take us back to the good times. I for one are backing them to do it! It may take a couple of years but Leeds for life! MOT

Quick reality check. Dundee United have shipped their best players over last 4 weeks (Baby Messi to Sporting Lisbon. others joining Stevie Bruce "doon sooth".) Not sure they're as "quality" as you'd think of a Scottish Prem team. not that that's a ringing endorsement.

This Leeds team will still need 6-10 games to work it out before we're getting and idea as to what's happening

The upside of the win though is that potential signing players will be more attracted/less turned off to the team than when we were drawing or losing to no name lower league opposition.

Winning is good. Will cheer the lads on any which way.

Just like its very difficult to read any posts that don’t slag off people that have a different view to you, you mean. Yesterdays performance against DU was ok, not great but not bad, but let's get real, we ll need to play better when the season gets going, hopefully we will and the new players (and the existing ones) take this league by storm, but time will tell whether they or the coach/blametaker do indeed have the ability to compete in the league. You ll probably not believe this, but I really want this club and team to succeed and I will be the first to admit I was wrong to doubt if it is a success, but I ll not bow down to the ‘rose tinted glass brigade’ who will accept anything that's told to them, or printed in the papers. I m cautious because of what we ve been through in the past. I ve been a Leeds supporter for over 40 Years and have bought a season ticket (have you) for the past 15 years but you write that ‘negative’ posters are only happy when we lose, are you for real? What a ridiculous comment.
