Leeds 0 Bolton 2 - what now for Leeds?

Leeds are in desperate need for a leader, and quick. The team has no direction, and it’s showing. It is imperative that we get a manager in place in the next few days...

Saturdays defeat was the 6th on the trot, and things are beginning to look desperate. Bolton scored twice in a minute, and you just knew there was going to be no way back at all, as we never really looked like scoring. Both goals were as a result of some appalling defending, as we once again failed to keep a clean sheet. Although there were few chances, Bolton took theirs, and then defended well to come away with a vital, and fully deserved win. The second half was a bit more productive, Harte pushing forward, and 3 strikers, but apart from a couple of shots well saved from Viduka, and a stab at goal from Chapuis, it was never going to happen. There are still some top class players at the club. People like Viduka, Smith, Matteo, Pennant, Olembe, Milner, Robinson and Johnson have quality. For whatever reason though, it is just not coming together.
