How can you change a hole team and still do the same things wrong as the last 2 seasons at the game tonight and how we are not loosing 8 1 is unbelievable on this performance we are relegation not promotion and can every one stop posting about the take over mo one nos rubbishe about it just wait till its announced it's getting on my tits I feel another long and painfull season ahead

Believable5 Unbelievable21

Good job its not on that game then and its on the 44 left we have beaten Wolves (promotion favourites along with Blackpool) and lost to other favourites away from home we wont be coming up against teams like Blackpool very often! and to be honest winning 1 out of every 2 games if you are to go on just our results and disregard who we was playing to judge the rest of the season is more than enough to avoid relegation so do us a favour and take the negative to people that care.

Where's the icing? :-( blackpool will be there or there abouts at the end of the season and we wouldn't compete! I know its early days though :-

Thought we were poor tonight.just coming away from the game.we didn't get a kick and when we went behind we had nothing to change the game. Has to be said Blackpool were good.

Believable6 Unbelievable0

Sorry i have every faith in NW but tatics wrong tonight. Why play your RB at LB? and your LB at RM?. Should have been Peltier at RB Drury at LB. not saying Gray answer to goalscoring problems but sureley when you need to chase a goal at end why not throw him on? strange!

Before everyone panics - remember Readings slow start last season
Are Blackpool the strongest side in the division?
NW now knows where we are lacking - he had no options after a valiant start

Believable11 Unbelievable0

Yes i agree.even though we were terrible tonight only blackpool have full points after 2 games.this league will be tight as hell....shrew leeds

Agree1 Disagree0

I agree, if not the strongest then one of. they narrowly missed out on a straight return to the Premiership last season, expect them to be top 3.

We need some more pace going forward we never look like creating a goal, need a player with Abit of pace and flair, the difference between the best teams in the championship and the average ones is being able to change a game around with Abit of class which I don't think we have apart from McCormack, how does everyone else think? I am pleased with the squad so far just need these signings to make a real push and compete with the teams like Blackpool.... M.O.T

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Norris never did anything both our games. we need a midfielder who can compliment Austin, bit of flair as well as graft.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2012 21:56:24
Certainly not going to rubbish the team after one defeat but I think tonight it was clear too see what we are missing.the icing.by that I mean the flair.ince and Phillips are flair players and made the diff.ince was superb.warnock knows what we need but can we get anyone in...we are a hard working,hard to beat team but you need to score to make the diff...shrew leeds

Isn't everyone bored with all the posts on when takeover will happen and by whom.of course I hope it happens but nobody on here knows bugger all for sure.we have had 50 dates,10 diff owners and hundreds of figures.and still waiting.so let's support the team and what happens will happen...shrew leeds

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are now about Sammy Clingan? Since about Xmas last year he seemed to be the player a lot of fans wanted to see at Leeds. Now the guy is a free agent you never seem to see his name mentioned?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

Personally I never really wanted would be good squad player but I feel the fans are just after the flair player such as a taarabt but with no real funds I think diouf is best bet

Ricardo Fuller signs for charlton. I'd would have liked him at ER. But we know he had fitness issues, particularly knee problems, so if boro and us decided against him I reckon he's a crock! Leeds Leeds Leeds, go on Tom Lees!
Fingers crossed the second half at the seaside goes to plan

Only a thought really and a whole lot of hope but Michael Owen still has not signed for anybody, yes I know he said he wants to stay in the premiere league and we all know stoke have been chasing him all Summer. But we also know that he would rather stay very close to his stables that he built and all his house. What if maybe just maybe sgt warnock has convinced him to sign for us when or if the takeover arrives. This is only banter site remember I do not have a friend of a friend who's cousin knows Owen I'm just dreaming

I know I am gonna get slated for this but have you ever heard the saying better the devil you know than the one you don't,I am referring to the takeover.Backburn,Portsmouth,gillett and hicks at Liverpool ask any of there fans and they will tell you how they feel,sheikhs and foreign owners are not in it for the love of football and as a business ,they are in it purely for the money or maybe because they fancy trying to run a football club not for me.Wigan,reading,west ham,Everton even our rivals tonight Blackpool people who love football understand football and probably have the club at heart that is what I want for my club,so if your reading this Mr Bates please listen to other offers from preferably influential people and preferably Leeds fans.

Believable1 Unbelievable5

A Leeds fan like Ridsdale perhaps? I don't really care if the new owners are Leeds fans. What matters more is how deep their pockets are. We'll only get back in the Premiership and stay there with serious investment and a manager with a long term vision, not one who says he's retiring and plays lower league 'hit and hope' football which might get us up but will also bring us back down.

The only way investors will get a return is if we can get back up the league so it's as much in their interest as ours. Whether they're fans or not is irrelevant. In some respects it's better that they aren't since fans on the board tend to get carried away.

The guy that replied your comment is slightly ridiculous. You say a Leeds fans like Ridsdale? which yes he was at the centre of our fall from the top flight.. But then you say it just depends how deep the new owners pockets are we need money to get out the league. Remember why we fell from the top flight under Ridsdale? pretty sure it was because he spent too much money. So stop contradicting yourself.

Agree0 Disagree0

That is in no way contradictory; you need to develop a more evolved sense of logic. Ridsdale spent money that we didn't have. He didn't have deep pockets and that's my whole point.

There's a world of difference between a fan like Ridsdale losing his head and getting the club into debt and owners like those at Chelsea or Man City who have the means to fund a revolution.

Directors who are big fans have a tendency to leave their business sense behind them when they take over their favourite football club. The Insolvency Service has had many an encounter with a once wealthy, brilliant businessman that's lost it all, and more besides, trying to bankroll a football team.

you think if we got a new striker in, ross could do a job on the wing, he takes on players and also puts quality balls in, sataday said it all, just a thought...hxwhite

ken bates has signed a confidential agreement with the potential investors which means keep every aspect of the proposed "takeover" private. what doesnt help this procedure is everybody naming names of companies and their board members who MAY have been at the game against wolves. All i can say is wait.

Norwich just signed a player but he wasn't from Leeds

Believable7 Unbelievable8

21 Aug 2012 15:54:22
Not a rumour, just a thought. If Leeds beat Blackpool tonight don't expect Bates to sell. He will surely think that it is too early to sell especially if believes that Leeds have a good chance of promotion.

Think McCormack and Becchio are going to be a class act partnership up top together this season, Ross provides the flair and talent with Becchio providing the strength and aerial threat, both are capable of getting 20 goals a piece this season. An impact player is needed without a doubt, someone to come off the bench and provide cover for injuries. I think that 3 free agents should be signed on low wages to increase depth in the squad. More importantly than that we need a winger, there's a big hole where snodgrass isn't there anymore, that creativity is really lacking on the right hand side despite Diouf making a difference, Templeton would be perfect on that side, add defensive cover and automatics could be a realistic aim without a doubt

Believable8 Unbelievable3

Neither has pace,both decent in their own right but too predictable,where's the youth,power,pace we were told we needed or the '2 or 3 special signings'..I think we have a team full of good honest hard working pros but unfortunately we have no flair players in the team to compliment them..this squad will keep us safe from relegation but without a couple of 'decent' signings i see us finishing mid table ish

Indeed they have, but saves you the booking fee ;) also some people may not have memberships and season tickets to be able to get them, probably on general sale now but need to try get rid of it even if its at 15 quid.
