It is just gone past the half-way mark in League 1 with my Leeds United having lets say a different start to the season.
It started well we were picking up good wins and keeping pace with your Leicester City, MK Dons and Peterborough. But in November the wheels fell off.
We had collected a good 34 points until November despite a couple of defeats and dogdy draws here and there but November was really the turning point.
It is fair to say that all Leeds fans love Jermaine Beckford and he has been our weapon this season and last season as well not to forget. But when he suffered that Hamstring injury in December our form went to a dire state. Luciano Becchio was suffering from the loss of Becks and we had a miserable December.
The 2nd week of December was really embarresing to the club. Knocked out of the F.A Cup 2nd Round by Histon!!! Histon with all due respect and i am not getting at Histon i think they are a talented side but really that was a game we should've won. We didn't and it cost us money.
Then just before Christmas came the news that some were loving and others not. Gary McAllister was sacked. The former great of United was out and then we could dream of getting in someone with experience.
Personally Gus Poyet would've been my choise of manager. He knew Leeds United during his time with us back in 2007-08. Aidy Boothroyd wouldn't have been a bad choise either. But to be honest i was surprised that Simon Grayson was a surprise appointment. He did well at Blackpool.
We got our draw with Leicester and beat Stockport i was encouraged but then same old stuff again we lost we drew and lost again but in fairness we did beat Brighton 2-0 last Saturday and i know that Brighton's stadium is difficult to play on.
But much more is needed if we are to be pushing for what we Leeds fans want. Promotion anything less in a failure.
