BOF Posted January 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yeah it was a beauty. It's nice to see Leeds safe by January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Leeds are looking good but I think they are peaking now. We haven't peaked. I think should we hit some form and somehow manage to get in play offs I think we can beat them. Especially now we have signed a host of winners and potential game changers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2017 Leeds have a team. At the moment we have individuals. That's what we need to focus on now. The talent is clearly there. How long that will take will ultimately determine our season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As unpopular as lambert was we haven't been playing like a team since the first few seasons he was here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Quote Championship strugglers Blackburn Rovers have appointed Tony Mowbray as their new head coach, a day after Owen Coyle left the club by mutual consent. The 53-year-old was last in charge of League One side Coventry and has previously been boss of Middlesbrough, Celtic, West Brom and Hibernian. He takes over a Rovers side 23rd in the table, three points from safety with 15 games remaining this season. Mowbray's first match in charge will be at Burton Albion on Friday. David Lowe, 51, will move up from his position with the academy to become assistant manager, while ex-Blackburn midfielder David Dunn, 37, has been made first team coach. Former Wigan, Bolton and Burnley boss Coyle, 50, left after eight months in charge at Ewood Park, having won just 11 of 37 games. Mowbray is the seventh permanent manager appointed by Rovers since the takeover of the club by Venky's in November 2010. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39053428 Quote How do these people continue to get jobs? How? They are a direct rival and it still makes me angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Mowbray's another one who looked a decent manager 6 years back (much like Coyle), had a disaster at Celtic and has been a non-entity since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Pontus Jansson is looking very good for Leeds. He would partner well with Chester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team I hugely enjoy watching at this level. I agree It's a well run club, they play well as a team and know the system. When they are off the ball they switch into a 4-5-1 and press higher which can force a quick counter. Houghton has done a great job there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that you're being sarcastic, but Jansson will be playing in the PL next season with or without Leeds. One of the 3 or 4 best players in the division.
