0 from me i think we have gone further backwards if thats possible. Tactics seemed wrong looked unfit lacking passion & fight. Rowett talks a good game but on what i have seen pre season & today you have to question if he is the man for the job. I am prepared to give him full support but things need to change & very quick.

What changes would you have made to the “starting line up” 4231 with Bojan or A N other behind Afobe. Provide the names not a formation

4231 with Bojan or A N other behind Afobe. Provide the names not a formation I did do. Drop one of the three in midfield and play Bojan in a 4231, behind Afobe. What more do you want? Why not be honest and come out with what you really want to say, which runs through most of your posts. "You can't criticise the club because you don't know what goes on"

The new bloke at Leeds has introduced a new playing philosophy, integrated new players and motivated the living daylights out of his team. Rowett, on the face of it, has done none of these things. Not a great day or a great pre season for our guy I feel.

So the results in the pre-season matches don't count then. That's what some were saying. This is what you get when you settle for that. You set your sights too low, & you finish low.

What did we do in preseason? Utter crap third goal was a free header in the box. Don't see too much genuine progress looks like back to pulis style football.

0* Unbelievable to think we haven't improved one jot since last season. Have we regressed? Every time the camera panned to him he was stood there like a statue. Is that his style? Dunno mate but I hope he has a bit more abiut him than that.

In your professional football opinion which one should be dropped to provide the alternative system? By the way this after the 1st 90 minutes of a truly competitive match.

Shockingly bad start. For starters, we just don't look remotely fit enough. What the fuck have they been doing in pre-season? As professional athletes, there's no excuse for not being up to the required standards of fitness. You can see the gulf between Leeds and ourselves with just a quick glance at the players.
And that was just the start of the issues.The shape of the team is wrong, the formation isn't going to work with the squad that we have, and defensively we were a fucking shambles. Everything about that performance was worrying, and he's got about a week to figure out how to fix it.
I'm not generally a negative fella, but that was fucking woeful.
I'll give him a 1 for signing McClean - the only player who looked to give something that resembled a flying fuck.

This is a tricky one. For the match itself: 5 - No complaints about the starting XI - Fletcher on as a substitute - Only one striker
More concerning: It looks just like a carbon copy of last season. No pace, no creativity and no desire. I remember when we signed Taggart and Crossley. The were both revelations and changed the team completely. Many of the players we have now have what looks to me as a "I don't give a damn"-attitude. We desperately need a Taggart/Crossley-signing. We could play Stonehenge tomorrow (not the team - the stones) and still get outpaced and lose. That the manager hasn't been able to rectify this is a major concern and a real worry. It seems to me that we desperately need a Taggarteque-signing to kick this team into performing.

0 - He's had all summer, got his players in and that's what he has to show for it?
We were dreadful from the first whistle, took him too long to react, Halftime should've seen Allen off for Bobo.
Never should've gone back in for him after he told us to fuck off in Jan, apart from the insult and desperation shown to get him in after his rebuttle, could we not have done better? I think we could've.

If you can’t make a call don’t post Mate I’ll post all I want, I don’t have to pander to someone who called this shambles a competitive game, only one team competed and it wasn’t Stoke and our manager was outthought throughout the game. He got it terribly wrong and his tactics played into their hands.

2. The football they played was about 100 years more advanced than ours. Again, we’re never at the vanguard of anything are we? It’s always yesterday’s men, yesterday’s tactics, we have no vision whatsoever. Something that's never going to change with PC's apparent obsession with meat n potatoes British managers. Time will tell I suppose..hard to put into context today if Leeds are really that good or just played out of their skins. We clearly have problems though , there's no dressing that up. It's a 3 from me... Correct.......it's fast becoming obvious that despite all the money Coates, himself, is a problem.
