Perhaps Grayson is exactly what Bates wants. Somebody to keep us in this
division (with some good fortune) Maybe Bates has no desire to be chairman
of a Premiership club and this just keeps him ticking over. Pure speculation
mind. We should hover around a mid / high position in this league, but we'd
be the whipping boys of the Premiership in the current regime. Albeit we may
give Arsenal a game in the FA Cup, but couldn't cope by a long way with
weekly life in the Premiership as things are.

Because Grayson is not good enough. He completely matched the goals of MS.
We're going nowhere.
I was at the Millwall game. This team is going nowhere.
Sorry

A friend of mine who has little interest in things that aren't Premiership
asked me the other day how Leeds were doing. I summed it up by saying that
although we were currently top 6, we weren't playing that well and lacked
imagination and basic ability sometimes. He responded "So you're at the
top, playing not that great, just wait until you have a good patch"
I admired his positive outlook, but couldn't help thinking that this is
how we function and we could go some time before the hoof and hope ball is
a thing of days gone by.
I felt this particularly against Burnley who pretty much out
"everythinged" us and it was only the 2 goals from Snods that won us that.
Glad they got a result the following week.
So, what do we want / have? A team of long ball hopefuls that rely on
individuals like Snodgrass (currently) to bring home the bacon, or, a more
complete and balanced team performance (a la Burnley) who did most things
well, but lost (on the day) to us. I'd take the latter in the knowledge
that it's going to come right sooner or later. LU seems to be dogged by
lumping optimistic long balls syndrome only to lose possession 8 times out
of 10. I wonder if it's linked with players being uncomfortable on the
ball so they part panic and hoof away - or perhaps Grayson specifically
coaches them to do this (please no!) Imagine what a laughing stock we'd
be in the Premiership employing this. The likes of Swansea and QPR in
recent seasons were promoted on a very different diet and style, so why
can't we?
