Can everyone stop getting on Graysons back. We would have all gladly taken mid table at the start of the season. I think if we do go up this season it will be too soon with the current squad we have. If they invest next season and keep the spine of the team together. Ie Schmeical, Howson, Gradel, Snoddgrass and Becchio with some quality additions then we can have a serious automatic promotion push next season.
Promotion this season would be a bonus but I think it may be too soon.

To the earlier blog who wanted us not 'to get ahead ourselves and stop berating Grayson' - the point is he has become blinkered. He brings in Livermore and Bannan who, playing in the right team with more defensively minded colleagues, would probably be fine. Simon is now having contracted players out of position, good contracted players out on loan and has not recently made the best use of his squad. Yes, we have done better than expected but because of the manager we have lost it. It needn't have happened, even if we didn't get the players in. Grayson's actions have put a damper on the end of the season.

Absolutely disgusted with the watford game, i just can't get my head around how poor our defence is and simon graysons incompetence in identifiying a good defender, all we seem to get in that position are great big bumbelling morons who can't play the ball on the floor, we have absolutely no pace in the defensive areas either, we all know we have good attacking flair and will always create chances i think maybe we need to improve the quality of the training staff as they obviously cannot cope at this level aswell as bringing in quality defenders, its a strange situation because overall its been a good season whether we achieve a playoff spot or not but the staff must realise this in the bigger picture is not good enough a leeds side shipping this many goals consistently is not acceptable tbh it was happenin last season as well towards the end time to spend some money bates we aint asking for millions jus enough for a complete revamp of the back four otherwise we may aswell jus play with 7 attackers hope things improve soon

Ramon Nunez on went on loan From Leeds to Scunthorpe and is playing great - helped them to 4 - 1 win over QPR then scored winner against Crystal Palace at weekend - they may well survive the drop . Was voted player of the tournament when playing for Honduras in Central American Cup yet has never started a league game for us. Was scoring freely for reserves yet "Larry" seems to think that bringing in Livermore and Bannan would help in our push for promotion.
Also I don't hold with this crap of " We're not ready for The Premiership" We proved against Arsenal we can compete at that level.
We have the best squad in the division and had we had a manager such as Neil Warnock for example we would have been home and dry by now.
Sorry Simon but you've taken us as far as you can. Time to hand over the reins to someone who will get us out of this division and keep us up where we belong.
Rant over !

I would just like to comment on the amount of people who are berating grayson and his signings, livermore and bannan are without doubt a class above johnson (money grabber) and kilkenny. The likes of paynter, mccormack and sam have been unfortunate that becchio, somma, gradel and snodgrass have peformed so well and not been able to get a sniff. But one topic that does need adressing is our defence which leaks goals on tap, from looking at recent goals that have been conceded it looks like that not many of them are the defenders fault its the likes of johnson, snodgrass and gradel not tracking their men and therefore are free to roam, we might be scoring goals freely due to the creativity of such players but at the same time they are at fault for the way we concede goals. For me this season has been a fantastic season, in the beginning grayson wanted to consolidate for a mid table finish but has managed to guide us to the playoffs i for one am delighted about. All those who are calling for grayson's head on a stick are completely bonkers and still think we are the leeds of a decade ago. .reality check we arent! we don't have kewells and vidukas that can do things that are possibleneither do we have dom matteo and rio ferdinand to sure up the defence. .but at the end of the day you need to stop getting ahead of yoursleves and back the lads and grayson rather than jumping on their backs at every verse end!

Click like if you think it's time to bury the hatchet and get Smudge back where he belongs?
