    Long time lurker, first time poster. Leeds fan since the late 80's, it's good to see I'm not suffering alone these days!! Delighted about McDermott getting the job, onwards & upwards from next season I hope. Though, having seen the pics, I won't be splashing out on the new home jersey, it's absolutely gank, reminds me of some of the kappa horror shows from a few years back... Anyway, just letting ye all know there's yet another fan around... Keep the faith!!!

    Welcome to our deluded, frequently depressed, but somehow always merry little band.

    I reckon this is what the club should have designed the new kit on.http://www.lufcsuperstore.com/retro/product/1992-championship-shirt/colour/one-colour it might show the current crop of players what that team back then achieved.

    If we want to do that then this should be the kit :)

    I didn't have the 1992 championship shirt, I had the Top Man one instead. Being a poor teenager at the time, it took ages to save up to buy!! Whereas now, being an only slightly wealthier adult, it'll just take an age to have the spare cash to buy it... Definitely want it though... My memory of the replica jersey at the time was that the material was as scratchy as a barbed wire sock, I hope this version isn't as bad...

    My 1st jersey was 1982 it had thin yellow and blue lines. EFW stuck on the front. It was like a 1920s baseball jersey/pajama top. God I loved that jersey.

    Still have my first jersey at home, must post a pic. It's the white topman one :) loved it. And the logo hasnt fallen off yet unlike some of the newer ones. Remember the blue and navy away stripe one we had round 2008 I think? Loved that.

    I hated the new shirt at first but it's grown on me just a little bit, when it's viewed on the players from head to toe the "blue" is less prominent because they have at least managed to get the shorts and socks right.

    Why they couldn't have just left the stripe(s) off is puzzling, the kit would have been almost ideal then forgetting the abysmal collar. Every Leeds fan wants an all white kit at home without exception.

    I suppose what's softened my attitude on this kit a little at least is the fact that I absolutely hated last year's effort. The tabard or dinner lady or whatever you want to call it shirt coupled with the equally appalling shorts well the whole ensemble was an absolute disaster.

    So after some reflection I'm liking this year's kit better than last year's but the bar was set very very very low.

    Late change to team and subs. Peltier replaces Byram and Hall added to subs.
    Sam must have picked up a late injury.

    Just looking at the table, lose next week and we could finish the season 1 point above a relegated team. Win, and we could be placed 10th. This league is nuts.

    I would keep McCormack, Diouf and Byram. Thats all. I would give Ashdown a chance as no 1. I dont like Kenny. I think he has an attitude and I just dont think he is right for Leeds.

    maybe keep Lees Poleon and Somma if he gets fit (unlikely unfoturnately)

    Mc Dermot has his work cut out for him (understatement of the century, I know)

    I wish the season would just end now.

    Watching Mc Dermot's post match interview he comes across as being very honest and the loss hurt him. he really cares and more importantly he actually does care about what the fans think. I think he is the right man for Leeds.

    I agree but I really hope that our owners understand this and give him financial backing in the transfer market.
    Without this backing I fear he will be another good manager in an impossible job. Another missed opportunity.
