My first point here is about our manager. Darko Milanic isnt of a high pedigree and at times today it seemed like the players just didn't want to play for him. Antenucci especially at times looked lacklustre, though I thought Bianchi also looked uninspired. The other complaint has to be his second half tactics of letting the opposition come at us if we are winning at HT. I thoroughly expect him to be sacked if we don't pick up 6 points from the next three games.
My next point concerns the much maligned midfielder Luke Murphy. Listening to people's texts on the way home I noticed he got a lot of hate. Now I like our Luke but he isn't a player to bring off the subs bench to change a game, certainly not under Milanic's tactics.
My last point concerns Steve Morison. I thought he looked good in the first half and have their defenders a hard time. For the second half he was shoved out wide and was ineffective (a lot of shirt pulling going on). I would be happy to see him start against Cardiff.
I would also like to ask that we, as fans, restrain from the "Darko days ahead" joke. It's really not funny
Darko, Luke and others

We've needed a defensive midfielder for years now.

Hardly idiotic...some of the players he's brought in are genuinely better than anything I've seen in years. Bellusci, Bianchi, Adryan, Antenucci and Doukara are all good players. It's just the manager issue really

They can't be, Jonty hasn't decreed it.

Lubo, which players are better?
Is Sloth the best we've had in years?
Or Ajose?
Silvestri maybe, is he better than Kasper?
Is Antenucci better than Ross?
Is Doukara better than Gradel?
We've had 15 players in and we're 18th, these 'genuinely better' players have hardly covered themselves in glory.
Personally I like Silvestri and Antenucci, think Adryan might have something, but that is about it at this point.
He would do the same at Cagliari, bring in loads of players and hope some worked out.
It can't be co-incidence that more and more people in the media and football are saying they feel sorry for us and it's crazy what's going on, yet some Leeds fans feel everything is promising.
We've had a couple of good halves of football in 14 league games, the league table does not lie, we're 18th.

Silvestri IS better than Schmeichel imo
And I think Antenucci has more to his game than Mccormack
Because a manager failed you can't lay all blame at the chair and door

But this is the problem with the crllinonmodel, the coach carries all the responsibility but does not have all the control, it's why so many coaches 'fail' under cellinos way of doing things.

The coach doesn't carry all the responsibilty. I dont think everything that Cellino is right with everything he does. I just don't think it's a black and white issue

Lubo, of course he does, he's the one getting sacked every few weeks.
