I've had enough of this slating of the team by people who obviously did not watch or lijsten to the match and have judged purely by the result.
3-0 down at half time was due to 3 ridiculous errors by a keeper that somehow has forgotten how to catch. I cannot elaborate how bad his performance was, but the fact that a keeper got subbed at half time and not due to injury and then a debut was handed to the youth team keeper says it all really. I honestly believe we would've gone in at 0-0 had Lonergan been in goal.
And more importantly the team put in a brilliant shift. Fair enough the first 15 minutes or so were woeful, but the result flatters Blackpool. Connolly put in a great shift at centre back and Howson worked over time doubling up as a right back and in the second half all the lads on the field were running their socks off even Snoddy was running from one side of the pitch to the other.
With 11 men and a half decent goalkeeper we could have took 3 points unfortunately though we had a numpty in goal and decisions went against us and to those fans who booed the team stay at home next time or go support another club!
MOT!
Get off the team's back!

I'm not slating the team. I'm fully behind all the lads even rachupka - although i hope that's his last game for Lufc, my problem is with Grayson, if a player made the same amount of mistakes he did they would be out, so SG should go too, players he had dropped this season for form - Nunez, Obrian, Bromby, Connolly, Brown. Not forgetting Barn Door Billy. SG signed all these players and as he signed his own contract 2 years ago, he should resign from it.

Are you kidding LIW fair enough the majority of fans were good and this article isn't aimed at them but there was vocal number booing Rachubka's every touch which isn't going to help a keeper already rock bottom with his confidence levels.
You never boo your own team you cheer or remain silent. If you're a supporter you support the team end of.
McCormack's biggest fan, I see your point but at the same time players like Clayton, Lees, White and Gradel last season came on leaps and bounds with Grayson and signings like Lonergan, McCormack and Keogh on loan have been bargains. Also I don't think Connoly is bad signing at all and since he's won his place back in the team he has been great. All managers make duff signings even the game's elite.

How did White come on leaps and bounds last season? Grayson never game him a chance.

Connolly has been good since coming back agreed,but origionally he was dropped for form. In that case SG should. Be dropped too, and that means resigning.
Don't forget that Clayton and Lees went out on loan last season, that meant someone else coaching them. White has been coached over a period of a few years and has finally come good, also agreed re RossMc and Lonergan. But list me the signings that have been successful and compare them with a list that has been unsuccessful then defend Grayson.

They booed for about 5 five minutes after jsut witnessing probably the worst goalkeeping in the history of ER after massive rics in the previous four games.
Yes it wasnt plesant, it wasnt right, but people were angry and to say f u c k off and support another team, well There be 10000 at ER week if thats what you want.

You'll get people saying white and lees getting experience was good.
I can accept that but not when we bring in players like livermore, watt, bannan to gain experience for other clubs.
If thats the case let white and lees get experience at Leeds

LIW, I didnt say experience is the reason why Lees, White and Clayton have come good this season, I said its due to better coaching, an ability Grayson doesn't have. I'd rather our fringe players get loaned out to get better coaching that have their careers ruined at Leeds. FACT is unless your one of graysons buddies, your gonna get nowhere. As for loanees, I don't always agree, but perhaps better use of Bannan last season could have resulted in a different end to a disappointing season.
