Interesting game today in many respects. Was the improvement in the second half down to the manager? If it was then we have genuine hope for the future. To me it was telling that the better players responded Pontus, Pablo, Forshaw, Le Bock, Lassoga and Anita.

Maybe they recognise someone who knows what he's doing, hopefully this is the case. Heckingbottom has a bit to work with but also has some deadwood on long contracts. Felix has to go, he is causing uncertainty and giving no confidence to those in front of him.

O'Kane is going backwards, Roofe despite his goal is too lightweight and obviously from the goal celebration only interested in himself and we need team players at the moment, I would but Alioski in the same bracket.

Sacko does nothing and adds the same. Saiz and Berardi coming back is good news and I hope that Heckingbottom gives the captaincy to either Pontus or Forshaw. So far I will give the new manager 6/10 and hopefully this time next week we will have a win or maybe two under our belts MOT

Pretty accurate. Thought Forshaw, Hernandez and PML were immense. KP better than Okane who must be dropped altogether, does not even make my bench. Saiz, RV and Bera to come back and it's time to bench Pennington. Give Pearce a run out. As for Wied, OMG! We don't even have anyone better. Lucas Radebe in goal was better than him.

Shame he didn't know what he was doing in first half

19 Feb 2018 13:06:07
Has to be said, O'K is not ok

19 Feb 2018 14:46:39
He's only had two games to see how players do Thought his comments after we're telling Everyone's started with a clean sheet Be a few moving on end of season

Why is PH constantly going to ground and waving his arms claiming he was fouled, Phillips also tried to fool ref into pen . I really hope Heck will have words .

Prob because Pablo does get constantly fouled, and, it looked to me like KP did get brought down.

So poor. We have no game plan, are we a possession team? Counter attack? We look Sunday league at the moment. Defenders look scared of the ball and strikers can't hold it. Jansson and Hernandez look the only 2 players who are good enough. Already looking towards next season, gutted.

What was roofe's celebration all about. was it against all the critism. Don't play rubbish don't get criticized. playing for Leeds United is different to Oxford Utd. There is expectation. Embrace it or drop back down the league's.

I'm guessing he was supporting a team mate, Felix, who made a mistake, and came in fer some pathetic treatment from a section of "supporters"?

19 Feb 2018 09:36:57
The same goes for the keeper. Good performances=praise. Poor performances=stick. He's been in the second bracket most of the season. Do you want us to accept or even encourage failure

19 Feb 2018 17:35:53
Nope BCDC just support those in a Leeds shirt during the game Kinda the definition of "support" if ya look it up It's a little known fact that no ones work performance ever improves by getting criticism and verbal abuse In any job If he's not good enough, leave the manager to sort that out

19 Feb 2018 18:28:26
Vin I would add Forshaw to your list, Lassie also seems to be digging in a bit more and he looks fitter but I have to agree most of the rest seem to have good days or bad days.

No one reacts well to criticism? Really? ! Roofe scored a goal didn't he? So we are are supposed to congratulate them on their performance each week regardless of effort put in. We must remember that the vast majority of this team had never heard of Leeds before they came here. they are not playing for the badge, they are not playing for the fans and they are certainly not playing for civic pride. They are here to put themselves in the shop window for a big money move elsewhere. Janson sniffed the size of the club as soon as he got here did his research and ingraciated himself to the fans by giving them what they want, grit, ambition and gratitude. Yes he has off days. Do you see the fans get on his back? No! because he has earnt their respect. I suggest players like roofe and Felix (and a few others) stop feeling hard done by and go out and earn the respect. 37000 proud Leeds folk turn up each week wanting to cheer and sing your name. But putting on the shirt doesn't automatically make you a hero. You've been given an amazing platform to go out and have your name on every child's shirt. Use it. Embrace the history
Embrace the expectation
Embrace the club Good luck for the next game.

Just listen to what the manager said after the game You'll get what I mean Possibly
