I don’t think I can believe the start to this season and feeling some feelings that I have not felt in many a year so far as Leeds United are concerned.
What on Earth? We have an owner who is quietly bringing about a positive change in the club in terms of the playing squad, the purchase of the ground and the development of a decent looking management structure that looks like it is rebuilding the foundations replacing what was either non-existent or weak. We have a Head Coach who is new to English football but who presents as a determined, dignified individual going about his business without any histrionics, knitting together a new team which has been boosted with a few classy individuals, gives a straight answer to a straight question and not having a hissy fit when his star striker decides wants to be somewhere else. What’s not to like.
Just for reference, the first 5 games in past seasons our record was: 2014 with Dave Hockaday in charge (still unbelievable!) -Won 2, Lost 3, 2015 With Uwe Rosler in charge – Won 1 Draw 4, 2016 with Gary M**k in charge Won 1, Draw 1, Lost 3. It is early days in the season but I think we are capable of giving anyone a game just now.
Goodbye to Doukara (no loss there), Thanks to Bridcutt (was what we needed at one time but not now). There might be a couple of others to go yet and I would not be surprised to see Sacko be one of them either out on loan or outright sale.
Bring on Forest!
By the way TSM – Cat got your tongue old friend?
Keep the faith. WAL
