Leeds managerless for Blades match

[1973Blade]

They have sacked Christiansen. Damn, hate it when clubs do it before playing us! Apparently Steve McClaren was in the directors box for Saturday's game.

 

[sheffielder]

I am not sure whether that's good or bad to be honest. Nothing changes from our perspective.

 

[SteveBlade]

They've got a depleted squad, and if they fancy the playoffs at all they'll have to come for a win.

If they turn us over it won't be because a new manager has suddenly made them world beaters.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Did Christensen back the new Leeds crest? Is that what did it?

 

[Northyorksblade]

A Leeds United FB friend posted a picture of Simon Grayson last night. Not sure if he's ITK or it was wishful thinking.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Do teams wait until they play us to sack managers!!!!

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Long shot...

Dennis Bergkamp

The crest lasted about as long as the managers there.

 

[ourbob]

That ex England boss seems a reet grim reaper,always turns up in the directors box just before they get sacked.

 

[blade too long]

be Gary McAllister if fans get their way

Gordon Strachan, in by Sat

 

[Dutch Blade]

Most of the time it's never good to play a team that just got their manager sacked. They are either relieved that their manager is gone or wanna prove everyone wrong.

 

[Whiston Blade]

I've heard Grayson or Heckingbottom (although he's just signed a new deal so...)

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Hope its not Wilder dafter things have hapened.

 

[Treeton Blade]

Hannes Wolf , get your money on it......

 

[Blade for Sale]

Hannes Wolf

Hanne won't be happy. He loves that wolf.

 

[Treeton Blade]

Paul Heckingbottom, get your money on it

 

[Dkc]

Christiansen had a decent record, seems daft to ditch him after a few injuries and poor results. Still, this is Leeds were talking about, where every managerial sacking is harsh and never improves matters on the field. I can see them going on a bit of a slump now

 

[KoppedOff]

Hoping Heckinbottom turns them down at the last minute- would be a great double whammy. Keeps Leeds in dissaray for us and as a bonus give the Dingles a huge boost for the Barnsley Derby game.

 

[sheffielder]

Paul Heckingbottom, get your money on it

Be a complete twat days after signing a new deal?

 

[sheffielder]

If I was Leeds I would give mclaren a run till the end of the season. Not going up or or down so a free hit

 

[bornablade]

Stuart McCall. No compensation. Probably lives locally.

 

[Davalon]

Hannes Wolf , get your money on it......

Too old imho, and maybe a little too dead also

 

[snootyfenooty]

Watching Leeds unravel is nearly as much fun as watching the pigs do the same.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Seems it'll be Heckingbottom, who I'm pretty sure I read had signed a new contract at Barnsley two days ago.

 

[The Crab]

Hope its not Wilder dafter things have hapened.

Really don't think that will happen mate. LYDON says he will bare his arse on the Town Hall steps if this happens *

*he is my stunt double when I make claims like this, nobody wants to see my arse.

 

[BerksBlade]

Looks like we will have to combat "new manager syndrome" again. First the Pigs, now the Dirties.

 

[Treeton Blade]

Signed new deal to get Barnsley more compo.

Modern football eh.

No, No, Crab. It's alcoblade you need to bear his arse. He's got a history of showin' the man what he thinks of him. Always one to keep his word is our alco, why it only seems like yesterday that.....

It all depends on us really.
If the SUFC turn up who play on on the front foot at pace, with wing backs actually putting crosses in and midfielders linking up with our forward line and having the occasional shot at goal. We’ll piss all over Leeds.
Alternatively we can have loads of unnecessary tippy tappy possession around the centre circle, then out to touch line, back to the centre circle again, then back out to the touch line, down a “blind alley “ at the corner flag, back up the touch line, then across the back line, Stevens to Stearman to Bash to Baldock....... then repeat.
Basically what I’m getting at is (with exception of Wolves) our clear cut chances created and shots on goal don’t even come close to matching our possession in games.
