Ha - the situation feels even worse after reading that Nick :-(
I was talking to 3 people who went to the game and they simply couldn't
comprehend how bad we were, and how we managed to contrive to lose it! One of
those said we should have stuck with TC, 3 of us felt not. Can we muster enough
points to see this season out - probably. Will Heckingbottom be given the
authority to get rid of the dross he's inherited? How long are the contracts of
some of the dross - most seem to think they're on 4 year contracts!!
In Heckingbottom I thought we had a good young coach, but whether he's up to
the complete rebuild that's required at Leeds I don't know? He must by now
realise that no matter where you play some of these players, they are out of
their depth in the Championship?

Subject: [LU] have we hit bottom yet?
Saturday was one of the least enjoyable games I have ever endured –
probably the coldest I have been on the terraces – 2 dreadful teams;
how do professional footballers continually and repeatedly pass to the
other team; drop the passes short/massively over-hit them; pass into
touch – a bunch of loud mouth grumbling supporters who refuse to get
the idea that slagging people off is not going to help them at all: we
are called "supporters" FFS - I mean what do you make of it if you are
a young lad making your debut in the senior team (a team that is on the
worst run in the league) and the crowd are on your back after 20
minutes for a couple of nervously mis-placed passes – we did have
enough chances to win the game (Ekuban should have buried that move
from the free kick) – and then they score two scabby goals (one in
injury time to win it) for the second one what exactly did happen to
Pontus and Pennington, both got it wrong, badly wrong, but funny enough
only Pennington gets slagged - Pontus is dodgy but he is the senior
partner in that pairing. Pennington was trying to cover for what Pontus
missed...not saying I'm convinced by Pennington (at all) just that
things happen on a pitch as part of a continuum not in isolation.
And I am heartily sick of listening to the barely concealed xenophobia
aimed at Alioski and Hernandez, who along with Forshaw, at least made
an effort at trying to win the game.
We have gained nothing from sacking Christensen. But this is what you
get with knee-jerk decision making, listening to a baying crowd most of
whom have never been good enough to play football at any level.
– there were times in the second half when the snow was falling so
heavily and being blown around so much that you couldn’t see the other
end of the pitch – you couldn’t even raise your eyes to look forward
because of the snow being blown in…dismal. dismal. dismal.
