Personally, i think that Doyle was man of the match. It was easily the best game he’s ever played for us and was the only Leeds player who seemed properly up for it at the start. Granted, the others did come into it later but he showed the determination that was absent for 15-20 minutes. I was also impressed with Bromby; his attacking and defending sense was a breath of fresh air as Crowe seems to have lost all confidence in his ability. I do think that Colchester seemed to be off form a bit. They started brightly but faded and lacked any sense of urgency even when the lead was just one. A lethargic display that not all teams will show. So to be the bastard that points out something wrong in everything, i think that it wasn’t a particularly good test for us and i don’t think it truly reflected on our situation or our ability to bounce back. Roll on Hartlepool, they will be the proper test.

i agree with TSS grumpy old man your always about the negative, grayson is the manager we have needed for a long time since are fall from grace, and beckfords goals along with the hard work from the rest of the sqaud is what is getting us there.

Except that he seems to actually believe his own ramblings.

Dunno about not-cheap loanees being needed before now. KB doesn’t ever seem to spend his (or anybody else’s )money lightly and staying top for months without adding new blood makes pretty sound business sense, as does shelling out as soon as the right talent and the clear need arises. It is also not “beyond the bounds of possibility” that Forward said no signings until January 2010 a long time ago, or even none till promotion is secure, and that KB had to shell out some direct investment himself. Although the windup theory above is about 100:1 on in my “book” . . .

the reaper…any chance of you paying a visit to ken bates.but i agree that until we are out of this abode then we can start chanting.the dip in form has been going on 5 seasons now.the lads on loan from the top side should have been done ages ago.but its not over yet and other fences to clear….lets hope the win against colchester continues and an aotomatic spot is ours.wish grella got more playing time..think hes going to be a major find.mighty leeeeeeeeeeds.

He is doing what Bates does best,winding everyone up.Judging by some of the stuff I have read he has done a good job as well.

I think he has done a reasonable job (no more, no less) so therefore I found it to be very tongue in cheek.

The comments struck me as odd too, he definitely implies that he’s the benefactor of Leeds United in that Gradel’s fee cost him. It’s simply astounding how many times he’s been round in circles now regarding ownership, but lifes good again so i guess we shouldn’t dwell.

I think it was definitely Leeds that were good when we settled down. The first 15 minutes aside, Leeds’ attacking force was unstoppable. Reminiscent of Leicester last season with Colchester looking a lit bit like we did.

Just to clear the GOM thing up. What was written above was in jest. Me and GOM tend to disagree on a lot of things and me taking the piss there, was in retaliation to him having a dig after the Swindon defeat. I guess it’s hard to convey tone sometimes, but it was written pretty tongue in cheek.
