Given all that's going on that was a superb performance and that's why I'm proud to be a Leeds fan and always will be MOT.

After antenuccis performance today, I've decided I'll be happy to see him leave

Bridcutt and The new French guy (to lazy to try his name) look like they could be a very good partnership next season if we get Bridcutt permanently.

A player like lafferty was needed, wood and lafferty up front and Doukara coming on in the second half will provide a constant goal threat

Belussci look good for us today and Erwin looked promising. Wooton also had a better game but would like to he Coyle play against Watford.

15 Feb 2016 23:09:23
Erwin deserves a start above ant, they looked wonky at the back purely from the pressure he applied.
New french guy 's nickname is Dave, for the very reason you highlighted so eloquently.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 23:26:24
Totally agree, Antennuci offers little threat as he not prepared to do the dirty work required when you play as the lone forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 22:17:53
Good shift by the team tonight, I like Bridcutt but his passing is awfull, special mention for Belluchi who I made man of the match. Looking forward to Watford game Saturday.
MOT.

I agree darrens mate his passing was a bit hit and miss tonight. However, he played quite well and his link up play is normally a lot better!

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 22:06:57
Same old story - good in the first two thirds but final ball and finishing left wanting. Silvestri still a worry. Once we are safe, I'd like to see Peacock-Farrell, Coyle, Phillips, Mulhern and McDaid given runs.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

15 Feb 2016 22:18:10
I agree nw. But McDaid out on loan I think and not good enough from what I've been told. Mulhern is a different matter though.

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 21:49:01
we badly need a forward to score goals! the loan window is open, can we not get somebody?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

15 Feb 2016 21:47:12
Good performance I thought but a few exceptions.
Keeper awful. Dallas and Ant not much better.
We are not a million miles away though. New French geezer looks like a player as well.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

15 Feb 2016 21:46:55
Happy with performance should have had more still lacking up front maybe Lafferty could be the answer hope someone comes in as we were good enough to win tonight just final ball lacking.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

15 Feb 2016 22:15:42
Lafferty? Oh yeh he will stretch defences i'm sure.
Sorry to be sarcy but I just can't see him improving the side.

16 Feb 2016 00:10:14
Jeez my point was at this stage i'd try anything to get a goal.

16 Feb 2016 15:39:39
Got to agree cork lafferty will not add much to team.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 21:44:27
Well ok, we didn't win and we didn't score, but shows how well we can play when all players click. Diagoraga was immense. And credit to SE for getting tactics right. Personally think we would have def lost that game under any of our previous 3 coaches.
I'll let the moaners complain that we haven't got a goal scorer.

Only kept up with commentary on Twitter. Should I/ we be happy with that?

Vast improvement could easily have had 3 points looked good all talk of Rhodes but doukara had better chances.

Thought we played well. Still a bit toothless up front.

Id take Rhodes any day over The Douk. He played well tonight though imo.

duk and ant up front like that and good positive start now predicting a win.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not with the worst goalie in the league we won, t. Just had 3 examples of rank bad keeping in 2 mins. Why don't the coaches teach him how to catch the ball?

Could be worse, we could still be stuck with that useless Schmeikel we let go a few years back?

i think you are being harsh on schemkel he was ok, I mean of course he was no paul ruhupbka but then who is?

We are toothless up front but what would you expect from Serie B attack.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 21:43:46
Although have quality midfield, Diagouraga, Bridcutt, Cook. Now we need strikers, more wingers and Forestieri or two (for cover) .

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 21:51:04
Good team performance from most. Diagouraga the star man but doukara nor far behind. He is beginning to show what good player he can be. If only he had someone else with him upfront because yet again your aunts Lucy was invisible. Should be sent back to serie b along with the so called goalie.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Feb 2016 09:43:59
"ihink you are being harsh on schemkel he was ok, "


Er, there was a bit of sarcasm in the comment, considering he's now playing for the team at the top of the Premiership? Why on earth would we want to keep hold of anyone like that eh?

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Feb 2016 16:48:27
i know leeds4alongtime, I did assume you was being sarcastic as he is one of the best we have had for many years and great keeper that is why I mentioned him in the same sentance as paul ruhbakpa insinuating shcilemcal was not as good as the worse keeper ever.

NOT IN MY NAME!

I don't care who the faceless wonders are behind tonight's protest, but you do NOT have my support or represent me in any way!

How amazing you have raised £4000 from so many supporters, must be less than a fiver each?

Such dedication, it costs me almost £100 to come and watch Leeds play.

I just hope Cellino totally ignores you and realises how small a percentage of our 'support' you actually represent?

If you want to do something serious, boycott the games or walk out like Liverpool supporters?

£2600 for an inate demo that nobody at the game or on TV will actually see during the game? How pathetic is that?

Believable4 Unbelievable0

15 Feb 2016 19:59:35
What they should do is stage a sit in after the game yhen the media will see how many there are and not representative of fan base.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 20:17:47
I think you are assuming these people are actually paying supporters then?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 20:38:22
agree on another note, leeds are playing quite well very impressed.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 19:22:31
I've had no response so far on social media so will try on here - who do fans propose Cellino sell the club to? I agree with most fans that he is a duck but he's a duck that's funding us at the mo - who else has the cash?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

15 Feb 2016 19:44:15
I think they have very short memories, maybe they'd like Mr Bates to buy us back and sell all our best players to Norwich to fund his pocket money.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 20:00:44
If these clowns keep it up might be back there again.

Agree0 Disagree1

15 Feb 2016 20:31:44
The guy who organised the projection is too busy patting himself on the back to actually answer who will be a viable, realistic option to buy Cellino out. I think Cellino has reached the end of his time with us but until someone else actually had the money and wants to buy us what are we supposed to do? I can't really understand the thinking behind giving constant stick to him, if he pulls his cash out then what? We need a buyer lined up otherwise we could end up with just anyone owning us and back in the same cycle we've had with Bates, GHF (who amazingly are getting away without a mention in the protests for some strange reason) and Cellino with the fallouts, frustrations and bad feelings.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - Bates's image was projected aswell on the side of the stand.}

15 Feb 2016 20:35:02

Ed003 Who cares. ? We are Leeds, these idiots aren't!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - They obviously do care 'these idiots'!! they just have a different view from you.}

15 Feb 2016 21:02:22
You're right Ed, they're are fans just like the rest of us and they're also entitled to their view. I personally have no problem with people having a different view or them even airing it, my worry is there is no one out there with the funds to replace Cellino at the mo. If the protest force him out and someone comes in with the millions and we all live happy ever after then brilliant but I worry it never works lit like that for us.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - that's a fair point,I just don't like people insulting others with a different view.}

15 Feb 2016 21:11:02
Agree again with you Ed, name calling not needed just because views are different, sure it's just down to frustration. We're all Leeds on here no matter what our opinions are on things, in the long run we all want Leeds to be great again we just have different ideas on how that will be achieved.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - Agreed Mel.}

16 Feb 2016 08:17:33
That's what makes this site so interesting Mel/ Ed is the opinions granted sometimes peoples opinions can get a bit personal sometimes but I agree Its not malicious it probably is just frustration boiling over! Wherever there is a problem, there will always be a solution, whenever there is Ying there is a yang, it's dark at night but you know that the sun will come up in the morning, science says that there is negative and positive, you can't have 2 negatives it just doesn't happen, I'm getting a bit deep 😂 but I guess my point is keep the faith err on the side of positivity you will get what you focus on! i'm a big believer in fate, and I know our fortunes will change for the better soon, I feel we are in transition at the moment but I also feel we are heading in the positive direction there will be some negativity along the way, but If we the fans and the club keep heading in a positive direction, we will all get we focus on, and fate will probably decide if Massimo stays or goes, if he goes there will always be someone who will love to takeover! Would it be better or worse? Who knows again that's down to my old mate Fate, we are Leeds! we keep on marching, until we find our victory Keep the faith people Keep the faith! 😂 😎.

I see the organisers of last weeks poster have come up with another way of getting their message across, they have shot a laser beam projection onto the side of the East stand. I can see this getting ugly. Hope it doesn't affect the players as we could do with some good news instead of all of the negativity that surrounds the club at the moment.

yes mc and sky is this to take eye off of other things . and where are these signings still waitng and to be honest we need a win or could end up in dog fight to stay up . we are good just lack a goal scorer.

15 Feb 2016 10:37:06
Well then guys Boro today (I think we forgot with all the other things happening that they were a football match today. ) Boro is going to be a very tough match but we have a good record against them at ER. So I think we will nick it 1 0. And I would go for it because we have nothing to lose and no one really works in that lone striker really well in this formation I like. 1.Silvestri 2.Coyle 3.Cooper Duper 4.Hess Husband to be Belluscsi 5.Charlie "Consistent Taylor 6.Bridgette 7.Cookie 8.Stuart "The golden boy" Dallas 9.Jordan "The Wizard" Botaka ( I would go with him because as say we have nothing to lose and we can't play Carayol and even though he doesn't have the finished product he will frighten the m with his pace and skill. 10.Douk 11.Aunty Lucy
In a 442. Hopefully we can have a good performance and Nick the win over one of our big rivals and lift everyone's positivity and hopefully the game will be remembered for the right reasons. So win let's win this game shock the Boro and let's have best season and the best finish possible, (Also a good Fa Cup run. ) building for challenging the playoffs next season and it is dream but get back were we belong. Let's hope we hit a purple patch ( See what I did there, Comedic genius in the making LOL. ) And a have a purple patch all next season because hopefully it will be a season to remember for Yellow, White and Blue of the Mighty Leeds. MOT!

Hi Stan. That's the score I have gone for, although I don't think SE will play Coyle and botaka, think Mowatt will come back into it, maybe from the bench, I'm going for Alex to get a late winner from a free kick mot 😎.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 13:47:20
I just hope no silly rollocks goes on from some parts of the crowd that effects the team.

Hope the whole crowd gets behind us cause they will bring nearly 3000 fans, under lights (hope we have fixed some of those as a number don't work I have noticed! ) , very cold so will be (hopefully) a great atmosphere. Support the team as it ain't MC who is playing on the pitch tonight, just hope the MC haters remember that as think the team will need ever advantage we can get tonight.

I think in tonights game a 4 - 2- 3 - 1 makes sense as Boro will think they can win this one and we can't give them the first goal. I read somewhere that in the championship this season the team that scores first wins 70% of the time so reckon that is even more vital tonight.

I would like to see Botaka on bench as well but SE seems to hate him so unlikely. I would not play Murphy, start with Cook but if not in game then bring Mowatt on if he is ok to play.

Now wheres my beanie for later.

Guess the crowd game I am saying 26500 for tonight.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 15:43:17
Under 20,000 more like Boro's support might take it over to nearer 21,000, charging category A for live TV games is a disgrace all night matches should be C regardless of opposition.

Agree1 Disagree1

15 Feb 2016 16:20:16
sorry to be pessamist but I think we will lose 2-1 maybe draw 2-2. love to see SE expeirement and love to see the like of botokata given a chance. I would say what has he to lose and blood some youngesters and give fringe a chance (know lots of you rate sloth so give him a game) that said MC is too trigger happy so if I was Se I might be reluctant to mess about too much in case I get fired.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 16:59:09
BW . I'm one who would like to see Sloth given a few games, but doubt that's going to happen. To be honest, I think the attitude of the players is more important than the team selection. Team spirit a la Leicester is what's needed for the rest of the season. And yes let's hope for no silly antics in the crowd. No way that can help the team . And much as I hate sky, and without sounding like a hypocrite, I'm afraid it TV for me tonight. And on a chilly night I'm predicting 22754 crowd.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 17:12:37
same here I hate sky but do love watching the lads on telly (which I know is very double standards) I agree hope the lads can get behind the boys and forget everything else. I don't know much about sloth or botyakata but would love to see them get at least 30 minutes.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2016 19:37:42
I am shocked, some people want to talk football.

Lets just get behind the team and leave the other stuff behind when the players need our support!

Can't see us doing it tonight. Boro don't conceded that many goals and we don't score too many. If Evans does go 4-4-2 I am assuming that it will be Doukara and Antennuci who fill those rolls, if that is the case then they both need to work together around their box to cause Boro any problems. We will also need to mark Rhodes closely he loves scoring against us.
