Team to start next game-same team that started tonight and that will start next 30 as grayson has no clue and hates change. Should have left howson in league 1

Does that mean Rachubka will start the next 30 games? NO he wont and stop talking B*llucks

On the back of a run that's seen us win 4 and draw 2 of our last 6 league games, I'd say starting with the same lineup where possible, wouldn't be a bad idea.

Loose the negative talk people, we're 3 points off second place with a game in hand. Lots of positives to draw from the season so far.

Grayson is not the best manager for changing things technically and no one can deny that, but he has developped a great drive and determination in his players and developed good team chemistry

Moan time;
21 shots at goal 1 scored
coventry 2 shots at goal 1 scored what does that say !!!
McCormak missed a sitter he cost us
were back to square one

21 attempts? Were you watching something all us leeds fans were not?

Another idiot! 21 attempts are you stupid? I know we should have won tonight but at the end of the day win our game in hand and we are joint 2nd, so stop your negative comments and get behind our team! P.s think snodders had a cracking game take a bow son

How do you expect us to win our game in hand, when we can't even beat coventry at home with 90% possesion ?? Gj

Gj, all you are is negative everytime you come on here! The day you say something positive i'll eat my hat!

Wat cost us was rachubkas mistake but we had chances to put many more past murphy and should have taken them

I hope your hat is edible lol

How many of last nights team would go up another level ? Not many !

Mistake by the keeper these things happen in football stop hittin the panic button we were 30 seconds from winning the game

Eddie Gray thinks we play better away from home. i.e. away from idiotic "fans" who do nothing but complain.

Aah, now there you have it, those are the REAL LEEDS supporters, not the Bates knockers........

Well said Ken !

So to all you optimistic hopefuls there goes another 3 points..! lets hear you all now say were gunna win the league (fools)

We're gonna win the league.

No were not, not when we dont win games like Coventry at home, leading in the 93rd minute. No chance.

Win our game in hand and were joint 2nd FOOL! leeds fan my ass

And by the way, we won't win at Peterborough. My prediction. Mark my words.

Why is he a Leeds fan 'your ass' just because he disagrees with you and thinks we threw 3 points away and is concerned? Just because you disagree. I am sure he wants Leeds to win just as much as you do, and i do. Ridiculous.

We're gonna win the league you moaning, whinging, whining git. We still got a point, and we in the middle of a bunch of teams that if they win they could go second. Have some faith man

Its not naive to try and stay positive when things are not going so good and its also not wrong to air your opinions when the club is being run in such way that you dont agree with it, But the fact is is that there is an annoying undertone on a lot of supporters sites where its blatantly obvious that some fans get pleasure out of predicting doom and gloom for Leeds United and saying "i told you so" when we get beat.Clubs will drop points,fact, clubs will have good runs,fact, clubs will have bad runs. Its football.Simon will see things just like we do, he has eyes, and he will make the decision to the best of his ability. He might get it wrong or right but as a general trend we are moving forward. I think we will make a top four finish this year and i am sure we will get at least 2 good players in the transfer window. We must keep Simon and grow together.It wont happen overnight but I dont think it will take forever either. Rome wasnt built ina day I wasnt on that fooooookin job. ha ha ha . Supa Leeds.

Well, I have had my concerns, as above.Get frustrated at the small errors and lack of professionalism that cost us, when we could be flying. However, we are on a good run, and the one thing i agree wholeheartedly is- Keep SG. I have never understood those calling for his head.

Just on my way for a few pints at the white hart. Feeling confident of a good result tonight but I suppose this is a test of character. Another performance like Donny and no worries but if we slacken off then a nail biting 90 minutes and the same old chants of Bates out! Lets sing our hearts out for the lads and I hope Lonners is starting! Wouldn't change team if they are fit unless SG is brave enough to bring in Valyren for Howson!

Im hearing alot of rumours about Clingan today, I bet he plays a blinder. I don't know much about him but lets hope he has a quiet game.

3 pts 6 pints and a greesy burger tonight please.

MOT

NR

You should have stayed in pub

On the back of this season I wouldn't want to break the bank to keep howson. If I was in his position id sign straight away. He will have been offered more money for a start and he has been made captain of the team he supports. If he keeps stalling whether or not its a shot a bates show him the door. Dont want another johnson demanding prem wages when they aint been earned

Depends what you mean by "breaking the bank". Define it. Personally, I'd go as high as 22k a week for JH but no more. Keeping a home bred popular club captain is not just about keeping another Bradley. There's more to it and riding on it. I'm hoping Bates sees that and sorts something out but it's give and take. Howson has to realize if his wages go into another street it will be at the lower end of that street and his performances have to be maintained.

Really? You'd go to £22k for howson? Problem is that if we did that (for a player who to be fair has massively under performed this season so far) we'd have other senior players like Snoddy, lonergan, becchio, McCormack probably demanding parity. On top of that, any new players coming in would also too

Very risky, as frustrating as a wage cap may be, it's keeping us financially secure and away from the situation not that long ago when our wage bill spiralled out of control and nearly ruined us. Double edged sword and not worth the risk - howson is supposed to be Leeds through and through and lets face it, £11-15k per week is an incredible amount of money to anyone (based on rumours of what our wage cap is just now)

Good post but real simple. Uncle Ken no pony uppy money no Howson next season. Write it on the wall. His agent will claim he is "double the player" who signed that contract in 2008 so they want "double the money" and can easily get it at 2 Lancashire clubs currently playing Premiership football.
