All those who said, he has not got a clue is out of his depth, makes too many changes, does not have a back up plan yadda yadda yadda. FFS !! Bring back Evans...I say PAH to you all.
Yes he again made 4 changes BUT he is new at ER new to the enviroment new to all most all the players. Has only had a few summer months to see them & only a few games to judge them on merit, on mentality on effort on.
Give the man time today he again made wholesale changes & he got rewards. He mad substutuions right, he did not settle for a 1 nil. Went for the throat away from home, I say WELL DONE THAT MAN
GIve the man at least until the new year before making any stooopid comments about him.
Oh wait many have & now have egg on their face HA !!!
Could this become a bad habit?

We do really struggle with the pressure, too many players who just have never played in front of 25-30k raving lunatics.
When the going gets tough we get angry and get on their backs.
We did it to Wednesday today frustrated the home fans and next thing you know a counter goal totally takes the stuffing out of them.
A clean sheet for the first time in 16 games is massive, that is an awful stat to destroy. Simply not acceptable, as most people i firmly believe you build from the back and should create a strong foundation. It's been our Achilles heel for many years, we defended corners today thank god.
But once we stop giving teams really soft goals and make them really earn them I will be more happy.
The competition in the team is good I think, sacko and roofe assisting pushing Dallas out the squad, Bartley and cooper realising that Jansson is highly rated and ready to step in and possibly retain a place if they do a bamba and "lose concentration" at any point.
Bridcutt will add some midfield presence he's not a sexy footballer but we were awful before we had him last year and I hope we can go on an 8 match unbeaten run like we did last year when we got him.
Those are my thoughts anyway.

"All those saying we had a late pre season no manger etc you do have to remember there was many clubs who made appointments after us who have started better. "
Do I really need to point out that Leeds United is not one of "many clubs?"

Ha ha ha basically we aren't the only club with a new manager - new players etc.
Still think our lack of games/ plus qualify opposition hasn't helped.

Rich, look at how the other clubs handled appointing the new coach and their preseason plans.
Same as LUFC.

Bar Blackburn who are cannon fodder everyone has more points.
Like people say, they can't have all day and season to get things going.
We needed more pre season games to get us up to tempo. Harder opposition. Etc.
Don't get me wrong about today! Love it. Even though thought our midfield would get mauled today

Our club is a perennial mess aside from Blackburn who else can claim that?

Excellent result when the team and manager were coming under increasing pressure.
I believe we'll have a better season than last and that this side will get better.
Leeds United needs sorting out but our troubles are more apparent because it's our club. I haven't met many fans from other clubs who believe that their troubles are worse than others.

In fairness we've been ok at best before yesterday and qpr game was a mess. Yesterday was top performance, but it was 442 v 442 and it worked for us. Let's see what happens when the next team come to Elland Rd and pack the midfield, we need to see improvement there and we HAVE to take the lead at home and finish poor teams off by half time like we used to do.
