I think he needs to drop Murph and Austin for a game or two.

I also think appointing Pearce as the captain is a mistake unless he hasn't a problem dropping his captain because the way he's being playing of late - deserves to be dropped.

I totally agree. I actually thought that Pearce was only a temporary apointment. It was for the first game or two and I never heard it being made permanent. By the sounds of things, Cooper has offerred a bit more than Pearce and I'd say that Bellusci would have started with Cooper tonight if it wasn't for his fookup on Saturday. Whatever about Murphy but I certainly think we must now have better than Austin.

I'm dreading to see what team he puts out. He will probably play a bunch of young lads and when we get hammered claim that we need to concentrate on the league.
Alcohol may be required to watch this game.

Same here. I hope he plays Silvestri though. There is no need to give your 2nd choice keeper game time when your 1st is low in confidence. Hopefully Taylor plays LB too instead of Warnock. He'll be eager to impress I feel

Looks like Warnocks getting the Palace job

Got it. :eek:

:eek:

From Pulis to Warnock - proper LOL at that!

On Leeds Oscar Garcia is getting linked with us and Fulham due to managers being under serious pressure and him walking away from the Maccabi Haifa job for safety reasons after guiding Brighton to 6th last year.

Also versatile defensive player Faraoni from Udinese being linked through our Italian inside man Ema Guilianelli. at 22yo and coming originally from Inter he fits the mould of what we've been signing. Had a season at Watford and sounds decent. Need full back cover if they are all gonna keep getting sent off!

Poor Palace.

Don't like Warnock, though did think he was suited to Leeds when he was appointed, thought it was the obvious match up but it didn't really work out great.

Kingp35 · 27-08-2014 8:14pm

We are looking poor again. Just hoofing it to Matt Smith.

SarahBM · 27-08-2014 8:16pm

This is really poor. Sky commentators getting in as many digs as they can. Leeds fans sounding amazing as always.
I'd be worried about Taylor in goal.

SarahBM · 27-08-2014 8:19pm

Murphy off.

What a silly challenge.

Bloody lucky he didn't go for the first tackle. To put it mildly, it was crude.

Are you aiming for the record of most red cards in a season?

good idea sarah. although not bad start to the 2nd half

27-08-2014 9:12pm

Thought Parkinson overstepped the mark there, but on slo mo seemed like he was stepping in to calm Sharp down.

"Intruder on the pitch". Gotta be 2 to 1 on it's one of ours!

Take back what I said about Taylor there. He saved our butts just there.

This is painful to watch. My crunchie is very nice though.

27-08-2014 9:32pm

Well well well.

Good goal.

27-08-2014 9:34pm

Well well well.

Another good goal.

St Senan · 27-08-2014 9:34pm

Time to go Hockadaisy:o:o

fanzhiyidan · 27-08-2014 9:35pm

surely if it finishes like this, Hock is gone.
surely.

SarahBM · 27-08-2014 9:35pm

Our goal in the 82nd minute was our first shot on target. So yeah, we're crap.

have we had more red cards than shots on target this season?
no, that couldn't be the case, we've the same amount of red cards as goals though

forgot about the 1 goal we got against Watford, so we'll have to have another player sent off at the weekend to make up for it.

SarahBM · 27-08-2014 9:48pm

I don't think I'll be able for extra time if we manage to find an equalizer

Never mind

fanzhiyidan · 27-08-2014 9:48pm

nothing to worry about Sarah.

Mushy · 27-08-2014 9:50pm

So in the 97th minute, a defensive free kick, long ball...and not one Leeds player jumps for it or is near it...a red card, take the lead with 8 minutes remaining, concede 2 in the next 5 minutes...sounds normal!

Zaph · 27-08-2014 9:51pm

That's grand, we can concentrate on the league now until we get knocked out in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. By concentrating on the league obviously I mean keeping an eye on our likely opponents in League One next season.

fanzhiyidan · 27-08-2014 9:56pm

This isn't going very well at all is it.

Can't for the life of me see Hockaday in charge for the next game.
6 games
4 losses
1 cup win against terrible opposition (1 loss against terrible opposition!)
1 lucky win in the league
4 red cards
feck all shots on target

need to get an italian and english speaking coach in place pretty sharp.
Zola or Di Matteo seems like good candidates.

need to get rid of some of the last remaining wasters and hope that we haven't just replaced what we were able to get rid of with Italian dead wood.

DoctaDee · 27-08-2014 9:57pm

It was a big ask to win, I'm at a complete loss to see any positives ..

Hijpo · 27-08-2014 10:31pm

There didn't seem to be any kind of plan or tactic or deliberate route of passing at all in that game. Under the cosh for most of it and didn't look like troubling them anywhere on the pitch. 18 seconds into the game there was already 4 hoofed balls, I knew from then what the theme was going to be.

Disgusted.

RichardoKhan · 27-08-2014 10:56pm

Leeds are a team in near complete freefall. Havent quite found the bottom yet. Coach, assistants, most of the squad are just pure second rate. Legacy accounts for some it but not all of it. Cellinio is a chancer of the highest order.

Where's the class? Where's the ER bought & paid for as promised a few months ago?

Mark these words.....it will not end well

Don't think either would touch the job with a twenty foot pole.

I hope Hockaday gets the boot but the players have let him down with their stupid red cards so i kinda feel sorry for him in that regard ,

As for people mentioning Di Matteo

he is a champions league winning manager , he wont go near us !!

I dont think getting on Cellino's back is the right way to go , he has spent money and continues to do so ,

And as for the players , honestly who has heard of any of the foreign lads ? i love a new signing as much as the next fan but we dont know how these lads will perform in England , only time will tell us that , im certainly not gonna pass judgement on any of them for a while yet !!

grenache · 28-08-2014 12:55am

A word of warning about signing second rate Italians from Serie B clubs - David Platt did it for Forest at the turn of the century. All of them were a failure, and England's blue-eyed boy left us with a £12m loss, which at the time, coupled with the collapse of ITV Digital, left us almost bankrupt. Now, Cellino has pumped in enough money to secure your future, but I wouldn't be expecting much from any Italian signings.

The only thing I'd say about all these lads who have come in is that they are all current or former u-21 internationals for their respective countries, so they all have some form of half decent pedegree

Fabian Delph in the England squad ??!

They must be very stuck ,

Leeds due a few bob if he's capped ?

trudub83 · 28-08-2014 12:05pm

We are in for Brian Montenegro - this isnt funny anymore!

Didnt he have a stint with West Sham United?

What is going on with our club?

We're currently buying average players, most who have not played in the Championship before, and from the look of that article - we're still looking to buy more. Instead we should be looking at a more experienced coach/manager who would bring out the best in the players we've already got.

We did that - warnock and McDermott both fall into that category , the problem is what we already got is fooking pants

trudub83 · 28-08-2014 1:54pm

I agree with both. You would think if anyone could of turned us around on paper it would have been Warnock/McDermott

I also think Whackaday isnt the man to get us promoted. I mean he took a comfortable mid table Forest Green side and got them relegated.

I think with this influx of players, we now need a manager who has experienced the Championship before. Not necessarily promotion but knows how difficult it is to get out of this god forsaken league.

According to the Leeds United website, they are looking to recruit stewards are Elland Road : http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/1mefbyeuv1o0n131u7it7x1wje/title/steward-recruitment-evening
My guess is that this is a ploy to get people in for interview and the best one will be offered the position of head coach.
Recruiting a head coach from a non-league team hasn't worked, maybe a good steward could do a better job. In fairness, he couldn't do much worse.
