If you get chance to catch the Norwich v Arsenal highlights, just watch Bradley Johnson during the 2 Arsenal goals, he makes no effort, hes slow, hes overweight and he doesnt dare tackle. Getting rid of him and getting Clayton in the middle was definatly the best option!

Best player for us today is not even a Leeds player and no way will reading let us keep him.this is how it's gonna be.ups and downs.hopefully enough ups to squeeze into play offs.bates says we should have been higher but if we are not as well as blaming Grayson he has to look at his muted investment on players.

Andy o'brien setting himself up for a January move to the Hammers. Wants to link up again with Fat Sam. After refusing to play today it seems that we will accept a small sum for him as Larry has stated he will never play for LUFC every again. I always thought he was crap anyway. not a touch on Lees.

Can't stand Fat Sam. This makes me more determined as a Leeds fan. I'll love it if we beat them....

I agree & just to add the icing on this thought how about OB fluffs his role up for Fat Sam letting us in...... then in frustration lashes out & gives a penalty getting a red .........
The 2-0 win gives us the points to move to automatic promotion & sends Fat Sam's boys out of the play-offs.....
Carlsberg don't do pipe dreams but ...... ;-)

nice to get another win today but i dont think we look convincing at all clarets had the lion share of the game we were lack-luster most of the time our midfield is so weak[centre].we desperatly need a good holding midfield general..but as said at the strat 3 points is 3 points well done,

Andy Obrien refusing to play! What everyone reckon?

I reckon he can leave. Buh bye O'Brien.

Refusing to play for a club is absolutely unacceptable, he shouldnt be allowed to play for anyone. He doesnt choose if he plays or not, the manager does. He doesnt deserve to be playing football.

The new Carlos Tevez. Ha! Who'd of thought it?

No loss to the squad, if he doesnt want to play for us then let him go,and that should go for any player that doesn't have the desire to pull on a Leeds Utd shirt.
Agree7

Dont let him go... Let him rot in the reserves. He doesnt deesrve to play for anyone so just keep him and let him rot away.

Think he needs to give his wages back and then f@@k off

Reckon he tunes in to this site and got upset at all the negative comments about his skill level.

Becchio rumoured to be unhappy at sub role. Time to drop Keogh anyway. Very hard worker but end product more important right now. Keogh can always warm the bench and the whole theory that McCormack's form is only due to Keogh can stop now his goals have dried up. Want to see Luciano and Ross up front from now on. Bye bye O'Brien.
Believable16
Unbelievable0
Agreed, been saying this for a couple of weeks....Ross and Keogh should not have started up front today after the last few performances. They have not looked a goal threat and have looked tired. Becchio needs minutes for fitness, he offers a goal threat and is a good player for us. We don't want him becoming unhappy.
Agree8
Disagree0
I also agree, Becchio should be up front and starting. He has strength and good at winning headers. Mccormack is a bit over-confident at the moment and should let someone else take free-kicks

His tracking back leads a lot to be desired, not impressed, unless you've been watching different games to me !!

I think S.Watt should be playing on the wing, seems to always, like Nunez do the unexpected, this is better than predictable several work horses.I would play Bechio and Nunez upfront. hey we know who sam watt is??

You dopes dont you mean lloyd sam daa! jesus get a grip and only for the cross for snodgrass thought he was appauling kept ending up in midfield and the man is a winger

At least Sam was conspicuous today and managed to get past the opposition on several occassions, wherever he was playing, unlike certain players in the team....??

Grayson speaking to Yorkshire Radio after the game at Burnley said, "Andy O'Brien came to me on Friday and said that he did not want to play for the football club again. I will deal with it internally along with the chairman but I am hugely disappointed that a players come to me and said that after he has played extremely well at Leicester.
Could OB be leaving this January?

dont care what anyone says connolly is dreadful. caught out of position too many times, his late challenge set their first goal up, needs to learn to defend. need a right back for sure!!!
also need now to breakup the front 2, good start between them with ross gettin most of goals but dry patch recently so make them earn their place back, thought they were both distant in first half

Can't understand why we don't play McCormack and Becchio together??

I have always stated the fact that Connolly is a very poor player. He has no tactical awareness, wins nothing in the air, can't tackle and is nearly as slow as poor old Paddy!
Why was PK playing CB in front of Tom Lees? Good riddance to O'Brien - please take Connolly and Paddy (reluctantly as he is 100% committed) with you.

Becchio+ mccormack = goals :)

Although an average game, I think the main point today is we won and gained 3 very valuable points towards the Jan when the transfer gates open up again. Then and only then we can see where we are towards the final push towards promotion. Deep down, I think we have a good chance this season even if we have a bad game or 2. Come on Leeds show the doubters your true worth and give the fans some cheer at long last.

This was very average performance by Leeds yet through Snodgrass class we get 3 points, I feel the best is still yet to come in our performances and we are now in a good position to push on for promotion .Snoddy grabbing the shirt badge after scoring ,and saluting the fans during the tv interview bring back that 'it's great to be a Leeds fan feeling'.

Snodgrass is total class, he knows where to position himself which has shown today with both his goals...

Super Robert Snodgrass! Got to hand it to Grayson for getting his tactics and subs right second half. McCarthy looks a fine keeper. Wish he was our player. Can you imagine Rachubka dealing with those shots? We'd have been dead and buried at half-time. If only we had a better RB we'd actually have a top Championship side. Keep winning LUFC. MOT

Agree with the above - a new right back could see us sustain a top 6 finish finish

Actually if Grayson had put the correct players on to start, we wouldn;t have gone 1 down?
Why the hell was Tom Lees on the bench????
Agree4

I think in Lees and white, LU have quality backs, but we need 2 more at right back and CB, I heard this youngster is doing really well in the juniors- can't remember his name, but your never too young if you have the ability- Who said that??
Agree2
Disagree0
He's called Monty Gimpel, 18 year old German centre back, he's meant to be destined for big things but I don't think we've even given him a pro contract yet

Runaway league leaders Southampton have this tidy and efficient right back call Fraser Richardson.........

Agree1

We didn't rob them , they lost it? They were al over us, McCarthy pulled of some superb saves and Leeds kept going to the end, which paid off? We deserved our win, or at least snoddy did, and I think Sam played really well, and well worth his place?
Agree2
Disagree1
Agree with you on that Ed, Lee Dixon also said the same after the match on BBC. {Ed007's Note - I said before the season started that I fancied Leeds for at least a play off spot this year. Maybe a wee tweak here and there in January and I don't see why not.}

To the first reply, not always, scum were crap ALL of last season but they won the league, if youve got the players and the fight and desire to never give up, things come good, lets get behind the team instead of being pessimistic

when are we actually gonna start playin this season? this game is awful, as have most ive seen all season.maybe except the doncaster and west ham games all the other points weve picked up we really have played average at best.there is no urgency,its like they are always knackered and a yard off the pace,when we do occasionally get the ball in good positions we tend to waste it.defensively nervous scared poor amatuerish enough said on that!and for the first time im starting to wonder if a change of manager would be a good thing,we are clearly out of ideas! ok i need to calm down now but its terrible to watch and id have a tenner on a local sunday league team giving us a good game ahh yes bring on the fa cup to showcase our embarrassment. rant over sorry
