Well back to the Leicester of old again today. Go ahead, sit back and draw the opposition on and concede. We were dire after we scored. Players made the wrong decisions repeatedly and a non-too impressive to that point QPR side were all over us, and could have easily have left with 3 points were it not for Fulop. Megson has to take at least some responsibility for this. If you replace 2 attacking minded players with a defender and defensive midfielder, and you concede, then something has gone wrong. It seriously disrupted how we were playing. I don't really think we were all that even before we scored though, apart from a spell near the start of the game, and before the goal. But we had chances, with 2 disallowed goals, a clearance off the line, and a shot at the bar. We had the chances to win but a draw was probably fair, despite our domination of possession. Fulop MOTM for Leicester - kept us in it at the end of the game and we need to sign him up permanently - best keeper we have had for a long long time. Hume battled away well, McAuley, Sheehan and N'Gotty also had decent games I felt. Cort tired early and his first touch was cack. Porter had a below par game too. Clemence needs to take more responsibility as captain to make sure we keep the passing game going when we are up against it, and keep the ball for a bit. Its unfair that people are being too critical on Megson though, its his first game, and he didn't pick the team. Lets see how we are by the time we get to the next home match. Cracking goal from QPR though, I thought Legeirtwood (sp?) had a good game in midfield anyway, though we shouldn't have given him room to strike.  |

That's how we played last season...  We sat back, let teams back into the game and got punished. What do you hope for from this season then? From what I've heard/seen Megson isn't the most offensive/creative manager so you do reckon it could be slow progress? Or... is he just a puppet? |

It doesn't make for good watching, and its not good for your fingernails!
I'd hope for top 10. We have a deep squad with some decent players. Mandaric's aim is playoffs at least I think, for which I think we have some way to go. Megson isn't too creative but I'll give him a chance, the club needs some stability.

I'd agree you've got a decent squad, Megson however... Yeah stability's always good to have  |

What can you do though? I don't think many Leeds fans were jumping for joy at the prospect of Wise as manager...but you have to get behind him, it doesn't do any good not to. I'll give Megson a chance, if he doens't cut it, I'm sure Milan won't hesitate. Hopefully he'll do well though.

Alright Ash! Is it true that Megson was booed when he came onto the pitch? Yes not bad Adam, you? Erm, I'm not too sure, not many if there were some. I was a bit late leaving the pub and when he came out at 10 to 3 I'd just started walking up the stairs in the concourse.  He got a polite round of applause as he left the pitch. Some fans booed at the end of the game, but they do whenever we don't win. |

From the report it sounds like the shape of things to come for yu though; Megson's never been regarded as an exponent of 'total football', now has he? |

He sounded alright in his post-match interview though I hate it when managers say they thought the team did really well and deserved a win, when you think it was average at best! I thought Megson's trick was 1-0 victories! I hope late equalisers aren't a sign of things to come. To be fair, theres not a great deal of total football in this league. btw if one does not choose leeds, do they not choose life? |

Though Kandol's celebration was almost as acrobatic! Though seeing as he had to take a touch first, I think Muzzy Izzet's for us v Grimsby a few years back was better....  www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYHJZoqvAmkI don't know how to embed videos...  I think the only one who really has all their dignity there is Rui! |

So he's preaching patience now is our Milan? ;D Tis Kandol's only celebration, obviously he was dedicating this 'un to the management. Hmmm...yes very impressive, but do you really want to push me into digging out Eddie Gray's goal vs. Burnley? Or any of Yeboah's? I'm very pleased with the Rui shot....looks like one cool m***erf**er!! |

We sat back, let teams back into the game and got punished.
Good luck though 
And you....
