You lost so many important players last summer that its not really a surprise it hasnt clicked straight away is it? I always liked the look of Diedhiou, Nathan Baker, Tomas Kalas, Josh Brownhill, Jamie Paterson, Andi Wiemann, and you signed that highly rated guy from the lower leagues with the funny name, cant remember it, hows he done? Don't know where i got Man U from ? Player you mean is Hakeeb Adeola Jerome Abiola Ayinde Adelakun came from Scunny Utd not featured as they can't get his name on the shirt so its been said that he is injured since being signed rumoured to have been sighted on the subs bench recently.

RidgeRed Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Continuing the Reggie Perrin & CJ theme (apologies if someone has already done this) but.......LJ didn't get where he is today by being an absolutely outstanding manager in the lower leagues. So I've been told, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the same at Barnsley, at one stage lost loads on the trot and then they won loads of consecutive games which got them promotion. He is a peaks and troughs manager. The same is occurring this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Dee Lake -on or is it Add-Dee or even Adelle-a-con? I hope Downsie is working on it too as he made a right mess of Pearson on Saturday (Pear-Son).

Well we cant as the team is going through styles and formations and team selection week to week.

That's what we thought before the season began. Most fans we're under the asumption that that we would add more depth to the squad and bring it more players suited to how we want to play ie high pressing possession based football, at times last season we were a joy to watch, it really looked like the way forward and we finally had an identity. It's been completely abandoned this season, he's taken an entirely different approach, literally just torn the book up and started again. None of us can explain why he didn't carry on from where he left off last season, stupid decision that could cost him his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hurry, realise its kind of early Any replies (friendly or not) greatly appreciated Question Mr Cjay - is it an easy walk from ground to train station easy to follow in the dark ? As for the game as others have said Johnson is at yet another crossroads, on the positive he might unleash some rough diamonds like Adelakun and Eisa and the players have nothing to lose, if there still playing for him that is ...City outstanding at WBA and impressive against Stoke so its no gimme maybe ....but I would fancy you to sneak it 2-1.

If I might answer that... It's a couple of miles through a less than lovely part of Holbeck. Far better to get the Special from Sovereign Street which is £3 and takes about 10-15 minutes to get there. You'll be at the back of the queue coming back given where City fans are located, and of course it would eb wise not to advertise colours etc too much just in case a knobhead or two get ideas. The bus will be lively but it's good humoured (before the game ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another poor run could well be the straw that breaks the camals back. He doesn't have the same backing now from alot of fans then he had during that bad period. I'd expect a much bigger uproar if it were to happen again and I'd imagine he was told in no uncertain terms to make sure it doesn't happen again. I think we all want nothing more than an up-turn in results and performances but quite alot are struggling to see that happen. Has it reached the point where you are a bit numb to bad results? That was the final straw for Heckingbottom for me, i didnt want him anyway but still cared and hoped he did well, but by the end i was past caring, sort of "oh well we lost again, whats for tea".

I see @SR1 answered this better then i could, but i asked on our forum and someone answered to so i will paste what they said to. tell the lovely Bristol City fan just to follow the crowd along elland rd up the hill past macdonalds over the motorway bridge into holbeck across the park and keep on following straight on over the canal bridge under the viaduct up the wooden stairs on your left and eh presto you at the station . you cant go wrong but its absolute agony also tell him if we lose get a dam taxi ....otherwise he might get a severe beating in holbeck or worse still thrown in the canal.

Used to be able to get tickets in the home end on matchday, if you dont mind sitting with the home fans may be some available, usually is some. For away i guess it depends on if you sold your allocation which i dont know. Maybe give the ticket office a call? cant hurt.

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Good evening @Cjay . As I'm married to a Leeds Utd fan, I often feel I have a good insight into what being a Leeds fan is all about. My missus will love this thread, as she always asks whether we're talking about Leeds on this forum! Anyway... a couple of lads from round our way are currently in the youth set-up at Leeds as keepers, so continuing to watch their progress. Harrison Male, on-loan at Tadcaster, if you've heard of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
