Gary Speed's overhead kick.

:pray:
That was a different game. We won that one 4-1. The 4-0 was when we got three goals in the second half and Pards was later sacked. Carlos Tevez was playing.
Ah, then it's off to the 'Wrong' thread for me. :D

Didn't we get Curbishley sacked as well?
Haha. No worries. Not sure about Curbs, though I doubt we did because he took over after Pards and we've been pretty much downhill since then. I don't think we've quite been good enough to get anyone the sack since 2007!

As for the game.

Leeds are a team in disarray, as always, and they were in a similar situation when we battered them 5-1 not too long ago. Obviously we don't have Juke this time, and we also don't have Moritz to come off the bench. Not to mention that our form is awful. Had Hockaday remained in charge I'd have been very confident of us snatching a win. But now I have no idea what will happen! It really is one of those games that could go anyway. Not a game I'd bet on.

We've got to forget about what Leeds are like and just go out there and play football. If only Dougie can just send em out to do that without any soulful bullshxt we can win with aplomb. To hell with what they're like as a club, concentrate on the football.

Trouble is that's not what he does. It's simply not in his make up. A man who decided to plan to stifle Bury's threat isn't the sort to select an attacking line up and tell them to get at them.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Aye, unfortunately, when every fan over the age of ten is sick of plans and just wants to watch us go out and show some balls.

My little lad is 7 Tango, and he's sick of Dougies plans. He says we should stop letting the opposition have the ball and attack more. In that case I'm voting Dougie out, mini-Wigan White in!!!

For today, I predict a very cautious Leeds side against a very negative us. After 20mins, Leeds will realise we are not attacking and letting them have the ball and then Score 3 goals before the 70minute mark, we'll get a scrappy goal through Danns, then we'll push Wheater upfront to no avail. Post - match interview will have Freedman saying "we had chances to win the game (4 shots), they had chances (16 shots)but the difference is they took theirs. I have an honest group of players but we where caught out by the new manager effect for Leeds!!!".

I have an awful feeling that our plan will be to be very cautious as Dougie will see Leeds as a wounded animal. Leeds take the lead and we have no idea how to adapt tactics.

Leeds 2 Bolton 1

First game of the season for me and not looked forward to a match less in a long time. Remember when the start of a season was full of excitement?

Thanks!! Would like to see him back here,even if he is a lazy sod..Provides goals and the odd bit of flair,which we are so badly lacking.

We'll lose.

We struggled to beat Crewe and Bury so a team near the bottom of the Championship is going to be too much for us.

3 - 0 Leeds

Match looks like a draw to me - 1-1.

Stats will be: Possession - Leeds 72% BWFC 28%, Shots: Leeds 18 Bolton 3, Shots on target - Leeds 7 Bolton 1.

Agreed. Might get my ass kicked but I'm still going for that one we've been waiting for. A big and convincing win. Dugout will take the credit of course, because, in the event of not having a super plan ready, he might, "MIGHT" just say.."Go out and roast the barstewards" in sheer desperation. COME ON YOU WHITES...

and - given that he gets the stick for the defeats - he totally should get the credit for the wins (if/when they come)... either it's down to him or it's not - he can't be to blame for losing and then it be nothing to do with him when we win... that's the game BWFCi used to play with Coyle...

Don't be so parsimonious bish. If we weren't such a sad sack side and hadn't started so badly, we wouldn't need to moan about anything. Nobody moans at winning. My attitude will always be as it's ever been..Come on you Whites".
