Rachubka! What a keeper, let's tie him down on a long term contract or Tie him up and never let him play again

Believable5 Unbelievable0

He's world class just the right sort of player for a proper big club like leeks united

Was it really 0-5

5-0 oh my word

sorry gotta stop writing im crying with laughter

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Get a life!

Agree2 Disagree1

02 Nov 2011 23:26:33
You have all lost the plot. Grayson out? 5-0 is bad and yes at home . But the players have to take a bit of responsibility. Rachubka I know we should back our players but they were mistakes you Wouldnt see in sunday league. He drops an awful ball lees handball. Sent off. With 10 men what do you expect. Then we were chasing the game and that's what happens. Back grayson. Get behind the team and let's see where we are after leicester and burnley game. MOT

Believable4 Unbelievable9

Who picks the team? He has kept the same lineup since cov game. We have a squad not 11 players. And watch he will start with same team next game. Maybe not lees as he will be suspended.

Agree5 Disagree0

Further down the league stop coming out with the same excuses it doesn't wash anymore

Agree4 Disagree0

Yeah, SG picks the team but is he then Rachubka in goal? NO!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 23:19:28
What hurts the most is constantly being the butt of all jokes and laughed at by so many other fans of s**t teams.... People just love to see us fail and we never fail to feed that love

Believable5 Unbelievable0

The problem is that we are actually s**t.

'The problem is that we are actually s**t.' - go support someone else

Is it Christmas already, sure feels like I've just got home from watching a pantomime,Teams come to Elland road nowadays with no fear,we can harp on about the keeper,or the sending off, the bottom line is for the last 3 home games against the supposingly inferior teams In this division we have looked 2nd best, from keeper to midfield to attack we lack no direction, game plan,or desire to turn teams over,the defence has been shipping goals on a regular basis since we have been promoted from div 1 and will continue to do so,this midfield lacks the ability to win and keep hold of the ball, And confidence is deteriorating throughout the team., I think Grayson has took this team as far as he can. Time for a change in management in my opinion.

Believable13 Unbelievable0

Agree with the above

Agree5 Disagree0

Inferior? Are you talking about Cardiff (play offs last year) and Blackpool (prem last year)? Idiot.

Agree0 Disagree4

I'm not an idiot, i went and saw an embarrasing spectacle last night paid my money like i do all season and have been doing for the last 34 years,and i am entitled to my opinion,even if you think Cardiff or Blackpool are 2 of the better teams in this division last night was not acceptable.

Agree5 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 23:14:04
Grayson has to go!,we are and always have been so inconsistant under him,his tactics,team selection,lack of use of squad,sticking with players even though they are in poor form or just not good enough,his misleading of the fans.We must move on now without him,cos if we don't we will keep seeing yo-yo results and form.He will take forever to get us out of this league if at all,some might say he needs better quality signings and to an extent i must agree but have no confidence in him at all, and haven't had for a long while.i love Leeds and it pains me to see us so inconsistant and down right poor at times, its embarrassing.

Believable11 Unbelievable2

You name a better manager tha Grayson for this football club, please

Agree3 Disagree1

Would like poyet but no chance,to be honest hard to say who we could get and who would be right for us but 1 thing i do know is that Grayson isn't the man to take us on.I don't want to change manager for the sake of it but Grayson continues to frustrate with his inability to organise/find any consistency,so why should we just accept this,any other manager would have reorganised the defence and midfield to be stronger/more solid,as in built from the back, but Grayson has had plenty of time, transfer windows to do this, granted with limited funds but never gets it right, we always look fragile never soild at all,

Agree3 Disagree1

Dont think Steve Kean would so thats ideology flawed

Agree1 Disagree1

How about dave basset

Agree0 Disagree4

MARTIN O NEIL. should have come when o leary went. but who would want the job?

Agree3 Disagree0

What about Lee Clark. 42 games unbeaten he must know how to defend then.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 23:06:56
Only good thing about tonight was Simon growing some balls and subing that poor excuse for a keeper!

Believable11 Unbelievable0

At last he has seen what we have all moaned about on this page - hopefully he will get the Howson hint and rest him for 4-6 weeks - is it really the fans managing this team..! if so give Sam a run wide left and bring Pugh alongside Clayton - lets get some pace and width

True, Chewbacca had his worse game since playing Luke at hologram chess in Star Wars but he was also let down terribly by his midfielders and defenders! Why were Blackpool allowed to stroll through all areas without any real resistance? Why were they allowed to get shots off?
You win as a team and you lose as a team! The first 15 mins of the second half saw 10 men Leeds playing some decent football & creating chances. Why weren't 11 men Leeds doing this from the start?
Good management from Grayson, having the courage to take Chewie off and to do it at half-time to save him the embarrassment of having to take the long walk was well judged. His confidence will be shattered & he may never play for Leeds again, but at the moment he is still a Leeds player and should still be supported after all, he could still be loaned out like Barn Door Billy to a Championship rival!
MOT!

Very interested to see what SG has to say about tonights debacle! no excuses i hope. Honesty and home truths. He has got to be honest with himself also, is he capable of fixing the defence and bringing the consistency needed?

LATEST RUMOUR! Paul Rachubka is too be named........ The "Worst keeper in the world"

Believable11 Unbelievable1

02 Nov 2011 22:18:12
A lot on here make me laugh.I say Leeds just are not good enough even after a few decent away performances and people call me an idiot.now I bet the same people are saying Grayson should go.we are a good team on occasions but occasions will not get us in playoffs.it's all about our lack of quality signings in the summer.Leicester and burnley next and I say we will get one point from that.then we enter bottom half.get real,we were never going to get play offs with this squad.just accept good days and bad like tonight cos there's plenty more to come.yes yes we are 3 points off play offsbut watch us dive abitnow.and what the he'll is Grayson going to do now goalkeeper wise.his confidence is shot.I like Grayson but he needs to sign 2 or 3 on loan now

Believable6 Unbelievable0

Think we needed that spanking...

Agree6 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 22:11:11
Nah forget Strachen there is only one manager out there that would knock us into shape, but unfortunately he won't come to Leeds whilst Kenny boy is chairman, might be worth a try but can't see it happening and that manager is Martin O'neil. His track record for teams in similar position to Leeds is second to none, give it a go try him out you never know. But then I might wake up from that dream.

Believable9 Unbelievable0

02 Nov 2011 22:11:02
OMG Just watched the goals on skysports Rachubka should NEVER play for us again ... was at fault for all 3 goals

02 Nov 2011 22:04:34
Yes, Awful result but.......

Leeds' biggest ever defeat in a league game came in 1934. Funnily enough, so did our biggest ever WIN in a league game, against none other than, LEICESTER!!

Now if that's not a reason to be confident for the weekend I don't know what is!

As long as we don't play Rachubka of course ;)

MOT WMS.

Lost 7.2 to Stoke and 6.3 to Plymouth they were away tho but humiliating non the less

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 22:01:24
Have to say after tonight I am utterly ashamed of a lot of our fans, yes Rachubka played absolutely terribly but you never ever berate your own players to the lengths that the fans did to Rachubka today. Don't even try all the 'I pay my money so I can say what I like' routine because it's completely hollow and empty. You never ever destroy a players confidence like that. Appalled Leeds Fan.

Believable9 Unbelievable9

Bore off then

Agree0 Disagree0

His confidence was destroyed anyway, and if i recall being there they were clapping him after, was more heat of the moment to barate the keeper, ill admit i barated him and rightly so, you cant do that 3 times in a game and not expect somebody to barate you

Agree3 Disagree0

Even Eddie Gray said he should never play again it was like he was playing patter-cake with his baby sister

Agree3 Disagree0

They clapped him after when all their pea brains kicked into gear. I didnt boo him at all simply because you just don't do it. They play for your club, like it or lump it.

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Nov 2011 21:56:07
What a differance a week can make. Was the reason that paul was brought of because he is terrible or was he "injured" MOT

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Probably injured because of his breadcrumb-like hands shattering everytime the ball touched them

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 21:53:12
What the hell happened tonight!?! I really dont understand grayson, his tactics dont make sence and he really needs to rotate the squad, everyone can see it apart from him. Sort It out grayson!

Believable6 Unbelievable0

We were only 1 down when Lees got sent off. hard to hold on for 70 minutes with just one central defender.

Agree0 Disagree2

02 Nov 2011 21:51:59
Defence still not sorted. New players for sure in Jan ( if we can shift some garbage centre backs in Jan), maybe surely time to consider a backroom staff shake up, a defensive coach to be appointed now surely. Or do we just continue on regardless as usual?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

02 Nov 2011 21:51:25
Something is not right at Elland Road, we are in a false position in the league, performances despite what Grayson has said, have not been good enough all season. We have had so many lucky late goals glossing over the cracks. We are so inconsistent, where has a free flowing football gone? I remember the games even in league 1 against Man U and in the cup an we looked such a good passing and movement side. Where has this gone. Im sorry but team rotation has gone to pot, we don't use our squad and react far too late to poor player form. Im sorry but now i am starting to think Grayson is tactically lacking. A poor defence, a team that looks shocking until we go behind in a game and numerous sendings off, throwing points away. This is not good enough, the championship is of poor standard this season and we should be doing a lot better.

Will fans stop going on about the league position!! It is false and we are only 8 points of 4th from bottom. Its so tight. Our lucky late wins/late goals have papered over large cracks in this squad. I really preferred the team we had in league 1.

I can see no better than mid table at the current level of performance's being played week in week out. Im sorry for the rant...im loyal and pay for tickets to most home and some away games but I am shocked and dismayed by this current Leeds side.

Believable9 Unbelievable0

02 Nov 2011 21:50:25
Want Grayson to stay personally, one result can't decide his fate. If he went though i would like Strachan......Leeds legend, good manager. I think in the past though he said he would never go back to a previous club.

AGREE or DISAGREE???

Believable2 Unbelievable10

Not strachan sorry

Agree7 Disagree0

Yeah good manager thats why boro sacked him :S yeah leeds legend, but look at the last leeds legend that managed us, legend as a player maybe so but when it comes into management means absolute jack all

02 Nov 2011 21:24:02
I am sorry but this situation is just not good enough, I have stuck up for Grayson in the past but this is just down right stupid, three shots and three almighty gaffs by a sub standard keeper, when oh when are we going to learn that the squad we have got is just not consistent enough for this division, we need to spend well in January even then it may be to late by then to mount any real challenge for promotion, god 0 - 4 now
I give up, just carry on crapping on your loyal fans it seams that is what the real agenda is at Elland Road. From the chairman right down to the crap bunch of defenders we have got, there is more trouble at Elland Road than is being let on, oooh s**t 0 --5 now when will it stop, Preston last year blackpool this year we are going to be a laughing stock.

I posted the same earlier. I know that this horrendous performance is due to the keeper and poor defending. But really, same team again, no variation, even though Keogh and McCormack have looked off it and we have a SQUAD.... That we don't use, at all.

Also, tactics as well as line ups NEVER changes. 4-4-2. Same approach, no mater who we are playing or what tactics we are facing. I am an SG loyalist, and there is lots i do like about him, but you have to ask the questions.

Another night of excuses i bet. Individual errors that cost us , blah blah Grayson has to go!! we need someone who is tactically astute. Does the southampton manager keep blaming individuals, or do they never make mistakes? We have a decent squad but I'm afraid Grayson can take us no further.

My team tonight;

Rachubka

Connolly Lees Kisnorbo White

Varaynen

Snodgrass Clayton Pugh


Becchio McCormack

Subs: O'Brien, Sam, Cairns, Keogh, Howson.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Put sam on he help get the goals. maybe use the 532

Agree2 Disagree2

02 Nov 2011 16:06:04
Remember a couple of weeks ago before the period of fixtures coming thick and fast, SG said that due to the amount of games he would rotate and attempt to keep players fresh. Why did he bother to say this? The only rotation, bar one tactical change at Peterborough has been single enforced changes such as Varynen for Snodgrass and tonight probably Paddy for O'Dea. He hasn't used Becchio ( who needs minutes), Forssell, Nunez or Sam in any meaningful way. This despite Keogh and McCormack missing chances and starting to look tired, and Howson off form in midfield. The Coventry game would have been a perfect example to rest a couple. We haven't utilised the squad effectively.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Have to agree,Howson knows he will be playing however poorly he plays,rotating the squad would give others the opportunity to show what they can do putting pressure on ,a lot to be said or a settled team,but bringing others in to replace out of form players must be a good thing.

02 Nov 2011 13:31:23
we need a change of players for tonights game against blackpool


Rachubka
Connolly
White
lees
paddy

clayton
pugh or Vayrynen

snoddy wing
nunez wing

ross
becchio

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Nunez cant play on the wing. If Nunez is going to play it should be through the middle.Pugh should swap with White from time to time throughout the game to give Aidy a better chance when running at their defence. Agree that Howson should be rested. Sam is also an option out wide but more of a midfielder than an out an out winger. Interesting problems Grayson has!

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Nov 2011 08:22:41
I'm an optimistic Leeds fan but something's missing at the moment and I can't put my finger on what it is. Seeing teams like Norwich, QPR and now Southampton(?) play consistently and successfully bothers me. They didn't spend big so what are they doing that we're not?

Believable10 Unbelievable1

Perhap's its because leeds are carp

Agree5 Disagree4

Perhaps you should go back to your own site and concentrate on your useless team

Look above you can you see us up there at the top mind you your a proper big club are'nt you

Yes and you a just a bunch of southern clowns who think you're guna run away with the league, you will soon come crashing back down to earth when you hit a bad patch and other start catching up.
