Leeds United - v - Aston Villa ***Matchday Thread***

[ozleeds]

Sitting from so far away and knowing from the start of the season what was unfolding I can't imagine what the poor Folk that turns up every game feels right now as I'm gutted. Some of those faces in the crowd really bring tears to my eyes.

I’m really deflated tonight.
All hope has gone.

The thing Rev it wasn't working under MB but why for the life of me they get someone with the same ideas.

Oz - he was the only one who could have possibly turned this round with these players.

Fact is we are going down.

Get used to it - Get ready for all the piss taking - its on its way!

I wouldn’t say it wasn’t working - the board didn’t offer him the players he wanted and didn’t reinforce and it was obvious where injuries were crippling us - look at what Newcastle did - bought players where they were weak.

A thin squad plus injuries meant Bielsa’s skills couldn’t overcome that but at least we were still creating chances.

Jesse Marsch we hoped would be a good replacement but it is like replacing champagne with flat water.

Nothing against Jesse Marsch but he simply isn’t the one. Whoever came up with that brain wave should resign.

Crowd was still energised under Bielsa not seen as flat and n the crowd for years

[Rev72]

Calls for Bielsa to be sacked were daft when you look at the players we have - to expect a manager who has never managed at this level to come in and turn things around with this group of players was absolute insanity.

So obvious it was never going to work.

Alf will be loving tonight

Not really CB,but it does help when those around you lose so it's dog eat dog now,if we dont win any matches it doesn't matter what other teams do. Massive match for us on Saturday,need to get something out of it..

Short review to follow when I get to hotel and vino

And Wood rubs salt in the wound scoring against Saints

because of that fact.

Newcastle pretty well safe now,don't think they have lost a match since Wood played.lol
