Simon Grayson named an unchanged side which in my mind seemed a brainless decision as the players had just 2 days to recover and with players like Bannan and Somma on the bench I was utterly surprised. I'm a huge Simon Grayson fan and think he's a very good manager and I'm not blaming him, so don't think I'm pointing the gun at him. The players are 100% responsible. I think this current crop of players are extremely talented but probably lack a bit of experience. Robert Snodgrass and Max Gradel have had fantastic seasons but I must ask have their flames just burnt out at the wrong time. Both wingers missed the first month of the season, Snodgrass (injury) Gradel (suspension) but since then they have been ever presents in the United starting eleven.Luciano Becchio has missed the last 2 games through injury and I believe that has had a big impact. Becchio always seems to score. The worst possible time to get injured and possibly the worst player to get injured. So where do we go from here? Burnley on Saturday. 4 games without a win and needing Notts Forest to lose. Not too difficult, surely. I'm a very optimistic Leeds fan and with this still possible we shouldn't give up hope on the men in white.
Let's journey back to May 8th 2010, at home to Bristol Rovers on the last day of the season. 33rd minute - Max Gradel sent off! 47th minute - Darryl Duffy scores, 1-0 down! Do we give up? NO. 58th minute - Jonny Howson scores, 1-1! 62nd minute Jermaine Beckford scores, 2-1! 90+5th minute - The final whistle blows, Leeds are PROMOTED to the Championship.We must unite together once more. Yes it is out of our hands but we must fight until the end. Keep the faith in Simon Grayson, it has been a fantastic season no matter what happens and the future is bright for Leeds. I do strongly believe that the captains armband belongs around Jonny Howson's right bicep. Secondly Billy Paynter needs to be dropped, it just isn't his time.
