Rachubka looks like he is heading for the exit door very fast after last nights howling performance.

Blackpool had 4 shots on target and he spilled 3 of them to let blackpool go 3-0 in less than 30 mins.

Was replaced at half time by 18yrs Alex Cairns.

Another of Grayson's wonderful signings that hasnt worked out.

If grayson doesnt free him then it tells us all we need to now about grayson and the club.

Went from having 1 of the best keepers in the league in Kasper to that clown

From the OS:-


Leeds United have signed Reading's under-21 international goalkeeper Alex McCarthy on loan.


Alex met his new team-mates for the first time on Friday and will go straight into the squad for Sunday's game at Leicester City.

With Andy Lonergan expected to be sidelined until next month with a broken finger, Simon Grayson moved to secure additional goalkeeping cover in the wake of Wednesday's 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Blackpool.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper, who was man of the match at Elland Road last season when United drew 0-0 with Reading, has only played once this season, and his parent club are hoping the move will give him the chance to play regular, competitive football.

United manager Simon Grayson said: "I'd like to thank Brian McDermott for allowing Alex to come to us. They are keen for him to play games and hopefully his loan spell here will help with his development.

"We allowed Billy Paynter to go to Brighton last week for very similar reasons and you hope that moves like this suit everyone concerned, both clubs and the player.

"Alex is a good, young goalkeeper. He's played with England under-21s and I'm sure our fans will remember him from the game at Elland Road last season when he showed all his qualities with a really strong performance."

Reading manager Brian McDermott said, "Throughout the season we have had a number of clubs interested in taking Alex on loan into League One, but those opportunities were not right because we feel Alex is right up there as one of the top young 'keepers in the country.

"It has been unfortunate for Alex because in him, Mikkel Andersen and Adam Federici we have three number one goalkeepers.

"Leeds have come in, they asked to take Alex on loan and I feel I need to do the right thing by him, playing four games in the Championship is in the best interests of the club and Alex in both the short and long term."

From the OS:-

Former Leeds United manager Jimmy Adamson has sadly passed away at the age of 82.
Jimmy, who made over 400 appearances as a player for Burnley, managed United from October 1978 to October 1980.
In 85 games in charge, he presided over 31wins and 27 draws, and guided the club back into the UEFA Cup in 1979.

RIP Jimmy.

Andy O'Brien spits out his dummy:-

From the bbc website:-

Leeds manager Simon Grayson says Andy O'Brien refused to play in the win over Burnley and will never appear for the club again.
Grayson said the defender, who has been heckled by supporters, told him on Friday he did not want to play against the Clarets.
"It came as a shock, especially after I have backed him publicly and privately over the last few weeks," Grayson said.
"He won't play for this football club again as long as I am here."

We will decide internally what happens now and make a statement next week[/indent]Simon Grayson
O'Brien, 32, has made three Championship appearances for Leeds this season, returning to the side in the win over Leicester on 6 November.
Speaking after Leeds' 2-1 victory over the Clarets, Grayson said: "Andy came to me on Friday and said that he no longer wanted to play for this football club.
"I said I needed him to and I thought he played well.
"As manager, I have the right in the early parts of the season to take players out of the team and bring others in.
"I have said that Andy had trained well and did enough to get back into the team against Leicester.
"I don't want to say too much about the circumstances just now but we will decide internally what happens now and make a statement next week.

Great 2nd goal Howson

[55022]

When we play 4-5-1 with Howson behind Becchio it brings the best out of Howson.

1st goal in 28 games for Howson.

Lets hope we can keep it up in the 2nd half.

[55022]

4-0 Leeds against a very poor Forest side.

A fitting tribute to a modern day legend.

I'd maybe start him for Scotland with his current form. Very good player.

Away to Arsenal in FA Cup

[55022]

Suppose its kind of fitting that we play Arsenal since its the 40th Anniversary of us wining the Centenary Cup final in 1972.

Well i have just seen the headlines that Grayson has been sacked.

No surprise as he just doesnt have a clue about defending and it was like that from day 1.

We will always outscore the opposition but it hasnt worked this season.

[55022]

Here is the reason he got the sack :-

• Leeds have dropped from fifth to 10th as a result of gaining just two wins in eight matches - form that has cost Simon Grayson his job.
