Can't wait for post season. So that NW starts showing people the door and starts to tell us what's really been happening inside the camp. I suspect it'll be a case of some thinking they are better than the club, some gobsh***s, some diva's and some just not up to the job. Also can't wait for Somma to come back.
One things for certain NW has got a massive job ahead of him & will need funds.
It'll be time to put up or shut up for the not so cuddly one.

Everyone just needs to calm down and take a deep breathe, The facts are we have an average team that punched above there weight last season and have been found out this...... But there is a silver lining and it's name is Neil Warnock the guy knows this league better than the back of his hand he knows who we need and who we don't to get out of it he knows what this club is about and he won't accept anything less from the players he keeps and brings in he also will be no push over to the likes of Harvey and Williams and most importantly Bates, and Bates knows the sort of guy he hired in Warnock so surely there will be funds available to him. Let's stay behind the team and management Let's show potential targets how great it would be to play for this once giant of the game.

I think Darren O'dea is massively underrated. He is our best defender.

Thank you for your comments mrs odear hopefully warnock has taken your views on board and totally disregard them. on the plus side there is a pub side which has been recently taken over by our ex manager hes always on the look out for players nobody wants. good luck.

As a reward for putting the fans through 9 home defeats this season,and seeing some of the worst football played in a season at ER, KEN BATES puts the LECEISTER game CAT 'A'.

To be honest I am surprised he has thought of a A* category. So he can charge even more.

No game from now til end of season should be CAT 'A' as were not going no where. My uncle fell asleep saturday lol. Which was the highlight of the game for me, All you need after a 3 hour journey to watch your team is the players not turning up.

It will become clearly obvious to see when the stands are empty. Nowt to play for and KB having a laugh at our expense. Saving my dosh for next season. Team seems to be doing same by saving their energy and focusing on attendance only. 'Having a laugh'

Sums up Bates to a tee. Why not do CAT C and get more people in and create a decent atmosphere for last game of season. sorry that would be doing something to thank the fans, cant be having that can we?

Some Leeds on here are clueless critising Neil warnock the thing u have to understand is they aren't his players he signed he is tryin to do best possible if anyone listened to his post match interview he fully understands what's goin on and how he can sort it taking nothing away from Grayson he never used to come out and say how he could sort it or what was going on with warnock in charge we have to feel comfortable with manager joint highest in taking clubs up he is proven and experienced he is only going to do well it's all about next season now MOT!!

I just love NW brutal assessment and comments. He's telling them what we are seeing from the stands. I'm backing him 100% win or lose cus he wants blood, guts and thunder and I ask no less than seeing a bit of sweat and effort for the price of a ticket. I applaud and support a team showing their hungry and have the desire to win, not simply walking out to simply attend and pass a Saturday afternoon

Neil Warnock has said on the OS that the squad will need 'major surgery'. He has obviously realised something that grayson couldnt, and that is that the squad isnt good enough for playoffs let alone automatic promotion. You could see that on saturday when the only way we played was hoof it to Becchio to flick on or hold up, but it doesnt work. The few times we did get it down it looked more promising going forward, but the defence was poor. Warnock will strengthen the team and i believe we will be real contenders next year! MOT In Warnock I Trust

What was it, "you can't compete in a league like the Championship with a squad like ours" or something of that ilk? damning verdict.

Its taken warnock just a few weeks to work this out where as grayson in his 3 years kept stating the squad of players he was assembling was improving. its nice to have a honest manager who comes out and admits that the squad of players he has at his disposal is substandard. here to better times ahead. {Ed003's Note - had Grayson not improved you year on year? or have I missed something? }

Warnock's said he's retiring in 2013 so he has nothing to lose - Grayson wanted a long term career at Leeds so was forced to read from the official Bates hymn sheet. Different forces applied. And yes, Ed, he did. Shame he's not getting the credit for doing so well with a poor squad and no investment from some of the blinkered 'we're a massive club still' fans on here.

Another bad result and shocking performance. The whole team looks bereft of ideas (and talent). There is no pace in the team in defence, midfield or attack. Aidy White is quick but he seems to get a nose bleed when he gets near the opponents penalty area.

Pace is the one thing defenders hate and we leave Rogers on the bench cant work that one out. Our play is predictable and seemingly easy to defend against. I like Becchio a lot but hes not the same player this year since his injury and gives in too easily at the moment. we have missed Somma but we need a proven goal scorer who is quick and has a brain.

Neil Warnock will be in no doubt now about the size of his task to improve the squad to make us genuine contenders for promotion next season. I wish him well cos it aint going to be easy. All we can do is keep the faith. MOT

I've seen robbie rogers a lot this season for the reserves and he's terrible not good enough at all
