In his post match interview he also stated that you could get by with one player having a bad game but when six or seven are you have no chance. The perplexing thing is that if six or seven are not playing well why only use two subs?

Marcelo Bielsa revealed how he sat through 76 hours of last season’s Leeds United campaign after taking on the challenge of reviving the Championship club.

Bielsa’s arrival, laptop bag and DVD collection in hand, preceded a captivating performance via a translator. He spoke with forensic detail for 80 minutes - seamlessly drifted from the deepest philosophical musings on modern football and Argentina’s World Cup troubles to dealing with less provocative inquiries as to how he felt about Leeds’ tough start to the season.

His first startling revelation was he studied all 51 of Leeds’ fixtures from 2017-18 and their post-season friendlies.


Now compare that to our manager Bruce..who didn't know if a Wednesday striker is fit or not. When in fact that player was suspended!

1336.

I’ve always been quite a Bruce in kind of guy. Although granted I don’t get to games,  so don’t have to sit through the dross that I read. I went to Brentford and thought for an hour we were great.

But not sorting the defence is negligence,  and sadly his time, I believe has come. We cannot be having runs like this one. Again

Thanks for giving us stability Steve, but time to go.

I'm refreshing this thread far to often.  So when's the announcement?  Come on Chelenham, throw us a bone.   

Sad Ken in the 3.30. Put your shirt on it.

Hoof Hearted is a better bet.

Who could do any better?

Who could do better than winning one in eight and being firmly mid table with one of the most expensive squads and highest wage bills in the division?

If the answer is no one then that doesn't even make any sense.

Last year they smashed blues. Shame he didn't watch that
