Dave, We left at half- time as our own little protest against this shower of shite. There's no way I was going to clap a lap of honour led by Danny Pugh and his kid. What a joke.
So a miserable season finished with a miserable performance. When I think back to West Ham away, ok we didn't win due to some shite defending from O'Dea and an own goal from Paddy, but our play that day was dynamic - Howson and Clayton running midfield, Gradel and Snoddy bombing down the wings - West Ham couldn't handle us .... Aidy White joining in and making it impossible for them. Up front , Keogh and Macca were lively. Keogh for me was a prospect , yes he wasn't scoring goals but he's shown recently he can score goals and to be honest it wasn't that important because he was providing for Macca who was on fire. Twice the player Becchio is. So what were we left with yesterday ? Becchio and Macca up front. This was never, ever going to work. Becchio is slow - I still maintain I could beat him over 100 metres, and yesterday he showed exactly why he rarely looks to get beyond the opposition defence ... It's because when he's put in that position he is so totally and utterly exposed as to exactly what he is - slow, pedestrian, unskilful, no control and little natural ability. He is club footed and finds it difficult to get clean contact on the ball. A total waste of space and I heard that when he was subbed he behaved like a little kid. We need to get rid for next season. I know Colin has said he is an admirer but surely he must now know the reality. So what other low points have we witnessed - O'Dea , never, never close to good enough.it was obvious as soon as he arrived at the club he wasn't up to it but yet we had to suffer him all season until Warnock finally binned him after another red card. When it comes to central defenders Grayson really hasn't a clue. Neil Collins anyone ? Danny Pugh - wasn't good enough first time and certainly has shown he isn't this time. Lots of plaudits on this list thought he was providing stability , he didn't and was 500k wasted. Not good enough as a defender and no pace, creativity for midfield. Deffo gets the award for the best two footed tackle of the season. What an achievement. Brown - over the hill. Connolly - League One right back. Any highlights ? I think Tom Lees and Zac Thompson have a future and I think a fit Aidy White will work in this league. Yes, at times he has been lightweight but for me he was our best defender when he played a left back. Not quite the new Ryan Giggs but he's got a great future. Beckford - everyone praising him yesterday. It made me sick. Desperately trying to show the Leeds fans he is Leeds through and through, not really trying whilst been paid thousands a week by his employees,almost willing to be subbed. Why did he leave Leeds then ? What a total joke.
