hadn't seen those Grayson comments - not much sitting on the fence there?

Leeds boss Simon Grayson laid into his players after being thumped 4-1 by Barnsley at Oakwell. Ricardo Vaz Te's superb hat-trick and Craig Davies' effort condemned Leeds to a third straight defeat to pile the pressure on Grayson. Leeds chairman Ken Bates has called on the manager to deliver promotion this season and Grayson has warned his players that some of them could have played their last game for the club after the dismal showing at Barnsley. "Where do you start?" Grayson asked at the post-match press conference. "There are so many words you can use to describe the performance. Embarrassing, shambolic, too many to say. "When you play for Leeds United you have to earn the right to wear the shirt. Too many of them didn't do that and that's embarrassing. A lot of stuff is going to have to happen over the next couple of days. "Any footballer can have a poor day at the office, but unless someone chops your legs off, you can run around. It's embarrassing to be the manager of the club. They're my players and my team. One or two might not play for the club again." Grayson calmed talk about his future after the Boxing Day loss at Derby, making light of the fact that Bates has already allowed him three years in charge. Monday's clash with Burnley would be his 165th at the helm, but he accepted that results are not helping his cause. "It's not making it easy but I won't shy away from the work or responsibility needed," he said. "I will guarantee I can work hard and anything that happens beyond that will not be my decision. I'm proud to be this manager. "Every one of the players has to look themselves in the mirror tonight and be embarrassed by what they've done today and make sure they do something about it on Monday. "I want to get to the Premier League with this club and my staff do. One or two players are too comfortable in just earning their money and they have another thing coming." _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
