Og har en sett Grayson som leder i kampene der han står der nærmest apatisk,så lurer en veldig på om den mannen har noen plan i det hele tatt. Hvis han har en plan så fungerer det dårlig forsvarsmessig.

Så var det altså noen som ikke vil ha deg på vingen, Promo. Selv om jeg synes innlegget hadde god retning... litt kort, kanskje?

Men til topic: Håper vi fortsetter med 4-5-1, det kler spillerstallen best, selv om det er flere som konkurrerer om den ene spissplassen enn de tre plassene på midten.

Somma eller Becchio...den var vanskeligere. Becchs binder opp forsvarsspillere slik at midtbanespillerne får muligheter, og så mye som laget har scoret etter omleggingen har han et argument for å beholde plassen, selv om han ikke har puttet så mange av dem selv. Men samtidig er det synd å benke en så målfarlig type som Somma. Vi får se om han griper sjansen neste gang han slipper til...

Og til slutt til dere apekattene: Det er ikke så viktig hvordan treneren oppfører seg på sidelinjen, som hvilke avgjørelser han tar

Grayson på sidelinja er omtrent akkurat like synlig engasjert som Drillo. Ingen mener vel at sistnevnte ikke har en plan med laget sitt ?

En del av Graysons "plan" kan like gjerne være at spillerne skal få slippe å plages med en "playstationmanager", dvs en som tror at han kan styre 11 spilleres valg i 90 minutter. Det er kanskje nødvendig på småguttenivå, men bør være ganske unødvendig på det nivået vi her snakker om!

Leeds United: Numbers game holds no fear for Grayson.
Published Date: 14 November 2010

Andy O'Brien's debut in Scunthorpe last month took the number of footballers to play competitively for Leeds United this season to 28.
No other club in the Championship can claim to have used such a sizeable cast in so short a period of time.

The spread of appearances depicts a lack of continuity at Elland Road and the struggle of manager Simon Grayson to establish a settled team. Over the course of 60 matches last season, Leeds fielded only seven more professionals than they did in 16 games since August.

Grayson would make no apology for that, pointing to a medical room at Thorp Arch which has been busy since the early stages of the summer.

On the afternoon of O'Brien's competitive debut at Glanford Park, Billy Paynter also made his seasonal bow â€" fully four months after he left Swindon Town to take up a three-year contract with Leeds. Other players are still fighting long-term injuries, Patrick Kisnorbo, pictured right, among them.

Only recently has United's manager begun to feel that the full extent of his resources are virtually available, or at least that injuries are no longer weakening his hand.

It will take until the early months of 2011, when Kisnorbo is likely to complete his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon, for Grayson to be able to say that he is choosing from a fully-fit squad, but he is pleased to have reached a stage where his wrists are untied.

O'Brien's arrival on loan from Bolton Wanderers was more about quality than quantity, bringing in a defender with vast experience and Premier League calibre. Grayson expects the signing to be an isolated one before the transfer window opens in January,

"I'd like to think that we don't need any more players," Grayson said. "But getting people in was needs-must to make sure we had a big enough squad available.

"We've had players in on short-term loans and players in on short-term deals, like Ramon Nunez and Amdy Faye. They were out-of-contract and available to sign. We needed to do that to deal with the injury crisis we've had.

"I've tried not to bleat on about it but if I hadn't had a squad of this size then there might have been times when I'd have struggled to put out a team.

"I'm not too concerned about how many players we've used; I'm only concerned about winning games and getting some consistency.

"If you're winning regularly then my job is easier, because you don't have to tinker so often or use too many players. But that still depends on injuries and suspensions."

Paynter was seen as a key signing by Grayson, taken on by Leeds after a season with Swindon in which he scored 29 goals.

More recently, concerns about the fitness of Ross McCormack â€" a six-figure signing from Cardiff City in August â€" have also prevented him from playing a significant role in United's term.

McCormack is the one player in Grayson's squad who can be accurately classed as a 20-goal striker at Championship level, but his first two months with Leeds saw him start only one game and contribute a handful of substitutes appearances without scoring.

He missed every game in October due to a minor, unspecified, injury.
The Scottish striker was part of the travelling party taken to Coventry City last weekend, though he failed to make the bench.

Goalkeeper Shane Higgs, meanwhile, saw out the match at the Ricoh Arena as an unused substitute having missed a month of the season with a pulled hamstring.

Grayson did not intend to use Higgs at all but threw him into his squad with Kasper Schmeichel missing following the birth of his first child.
"We haven't really seen two of the biggest signings I've made since I've been here," Grayson said. "On paper, Billy Paynter and Ross McCormack have plenty of goals in them. They look a major force for this club and in our division. They've not had a chance yet.

"Billy showed glimpses of his ability in the short time he was on the pitch at Scunthorpe and he also showed it against us for Swindon last year.

"Ross scored plenty of goals in the Championship for Cardiff, but we're still waiting to see them in Leeds United shirts on a regular basis.

"With Billy, it's just about getting him sharp now â€" 20 minutes here and there, and then see when he's ready to start a game. But, as it stands, he's got a really hard fight on his hands.

"Luciano Becchio's been playing up there on his own and Davide Somma's done well when we've used two up front. I've not actually had to rush Billy back or throw him into the team because other people have been producing the goods."

Four defeats from five games last month persuaded Grayson to break away from his typical formation and field Becchio as a lone striker at Scunthorpe, a system which yielded a 4-1 victory.

The same strategy produced another win at Coventry, aided by a fine performance from Robert Snodgrass.

The Scot is another player who Grayson was forced to work without during the early weeks of the campaign.

Snodgrass injured a knee in July and was one of a crowd of professionals who missed the start of the season. But a spate of recent comebacks left Grayson in a position where he was able to take McCormack and Paynter to Coventry without naming either forward among his subs.

It was, in any case, United's defence which required most attention, leading to the signing of O'Brien from Bolton. The centre-back's arrival coincided with successive away victories which offset the regular loss of points during October.

"That's not down to one individual," said Grayson. "It's down to the work ethic of the team and a real effort to make sure we're hard to beat.

"But Andy's been there and done it as a player and he's organises people around him. That's what we needed and hence why we signed him.

"When you look across our team, we're quite a young side. A little bit
more leadership helps."

Consistency breeds consistency
November 23, 2010 in Championship, Leeds United

Leeds United stretched their unbeaten run to five games with a share of the spoils after an entertaining 1-1 draw at Norwich City.

Simon Grayson felt aggrieved after yet another big decision went against his side but was pleased with another strong showing on the road. Leeds played some great football in the first half and could have gone in with more than the one goal advantage at the break. Norwich came into the game more in the second half and probably deserved a point on the balance of play, despite the goal coming on the back of a blatant push on Kasper Schmeichel.

It is encouraging to see us string together a run of results and I think that owes to Grayson going for a settled line-up. I don’t think it is any coincidence that our form has improved since we found some stability at the back and consistency in team selection.

Schmeichel’s return from injury and the loan signing of Andy O’Brien have gone a long way to bringing organisation to a shaky backline. We are still conceding goals but the more games the back five are getting together, the more solid they look. It is important we keep hold of O’Brien past this weekend.

Grayson has been quite brave sticking with the 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation, particularly at home and with so much attacking talent at his disposal. I am not sure how much longer he can keep the likes of Ross McCormack and Billy Paynter happy though if he persists with that formation.

There is no doubt it is working. Max Gradel and Robert Snodgrass are causing full-backs all sorts of problems and Jonny Howson is in the form of his career â€" so much so that team mate O’Brien has touted him for an England call-up! I am not sure about that but he is playing well.

There is a lot of quality waiting in the wings as well so things are looking pretty good at the moment.

The next month or so is crucial. We need to step up our efforts to secure the services of Neil Kilkenny and Luciano Becchio, recruit well when the transfer window reopens and Grayson needs to ensure he keeps important squad members happy.

I am still cautious about our prospects this season but if we can keep this steady progress going and a clean bill of health, I don’t see why we can’t mount a serious promotion challenge.

Grayson har en ekstrem utfordring i forhold til angrepet. Nå spiller vi med en enslig spiss, og det betyr at 3 spisser må slite benken - Paynter, McCormack og Somma. Legger han om til 4-4-2 snart, eller fortsetter han i 4-5-1? Blir en av spissene lånt ut eller solgt i januar? Blir McCormack heller å finne på vingen?

Uten tvil: Vi har luksusproblemer fremover på banen, og det er enda godt!

Leeds United: We've irons in the fire - Bates

Published Date: 16 December 2010
Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has warned the Championship that the club are actively working to improve their squad with the transfer window a fortnight away.
Bates indicated that the division's in-form team could be significantly strengthened next month, saying that United were "non-stop, always looking" at options to bring to Elland Road in the near future.

Leeds are likely to limit their business in January with manager Simon Grayson already in possession of a large and near fully-fit group of players but Bates has not ruled out further signings following United's rise to fourth place in the Championship.

The club plan to pursue the long-term signing of on-loan defender Andy O'Brien, with Bolton Wanderers understood to be willing to trade the 31-year-old next month, and Leeds are also likely to tweak their midfield ranks.

Jamaican international Jason Morrison â€" a 26-year-old central midfielder â€" is on trial at Thorp Arch with a view to securing a contract with United.

Grayson has appeared increasingly content with his squad having started the season with a catalogue of injuries and suspensions affecting key players, and the range of the resources available to him has been borne out in a run of eight league matches without defeat.

Leeds climbed to their highest league position since 2006 at the weekend and Bates is hopeful that the club can defend their play-off position, despite admitting that a year of consolidation was United's initial target.

Bates, pictured, said: "The majority of fans would have been happy with a consolidation situation in the first year back in the Championship. That was the general mood a few months ago.

"Expectations have risen and we'll have periods in the new year when things aren't going quite as we'd like them to but we look good. We're strong in numbers and we are non-stop, always looking at how we can improve our squad. I won't go into specifics but I can assure you of that.

"We're fourth and we want to stay no less than top six. We'd like to be in the top two."

Bates also paid tribute to Grayson ahead of the 42-year-old's second anniversary as manager of Leeds.

Grayson will complete two years in the job a week today and Bates said: "With all the madness in football, he's probably one of the longest-serving managers in the league.

"He's brought stability to the club and he's not a headline-seeker. He's just got on with his job. We've supported him in every way we can and in every way we can afford. But in saying that, his demands are not excessive and he's realistic.

"He's respected by everyone and he's got a cool head. When we lose, I don't get panic calls the next morning saying 'we've got to do this, that or the other'. There's just a cold assessment of what went wrong and how we can put it right.

"I've got great hopes for Simon and I hope he's here for many years to come."

Et godt argument for ikke å strekke seg for langt ift Becchios lønnskrav.

[Tarald72]

Vi har virkelig et luksusproblem, vi har - et dårlig utrykk, men forstå det den som vil - et overskudd av gode spisser, tenk om vi hadde hatt et overskudd av for gode forsvarere.....nå når endelig forsvaret har begynt å fungere sånn noenlunde, var det på hengende håret at Bruce ikke klarte å rote det til for Leeds i siste kamp også.
Anyway, vi bør satse på to spisser, vi har en sterk midtbane!

Og vil såklart sende gratulasjoner til Simon Grayson på hans 41-årsdag!!!

Litt om teamspirit og jule- og nyttårsprogrammet:

Leeds United: Upbeat stars are walking tall


Simon Grayson - klok manager 

Published Date: 19 December 2010
Simon Grayson noticed a spring in the step of Leeds United's squad this week, more lively than usual.
It does not take a manager of Grayson's experience to see a direct link between the club's form and the irrepressible mood of his players.

Grayson and United's senior professionals visited two hospitals in Leeds on Tuesday with the intention of spreading Christmas cheer.

The pressure of the Championship season is always forgotten in those surroundings but Grayson could not help noticing an air of buoyancy as they walked around the wards. It was the mark of a squad in league territory which has been uncharted by Leeds since 2006.

The connection between their demeanour and a sequence of eight matches without defeat went without saying. As Grayson has discovered on previous occasions in almost two years as United's manager, happy camps are easy to maintain and control when results are flowing in the right direction.

Christmas will arrive at Elland Road this year with Leeds pushing towards their highest league position for more than four years, a result of their brilliant response to a serious wobble in October.

Four defeats from five matches suggested that relegation might be a serious threat to the club, but that risk could be mathematically lifted as early as next month if their form continues as it has through November and the early stages of December.

Grayson has taken care not to speak openly or loosely about the likelihood of promotion, preferring only to savour the club's longest unbeaten run for 12 months. The enjoyment of the past eight weeks has been borne out in the spirit amongst players whose belief and confidence has soared in the run-up to Christmas.

"One or two look livelier than normal," he said. "That's what happens when you get a few results. It's not just the lads who are in the team â€" good results keep up the spirit of the lads who are out of the team as well. It keeps them going.

"We're a big family with a great spirit and I think that shows when we win matches. The players celebrate together, on the pitch and off it. It's a massive thing for us."

United are approaching the turn of the year in excellent health, with a squad which is virtually free of injury.

Patrick Kisnorbo and Richard Naylor are recovering from operations and were ruled out of the Christmas schedule some time ago, but Grayson's serious concerns appear to end there.

On Monday afternoon he fielded a team full of senior players in a reserve-team friendly against Newcastle United, telling all of them that they will have some part to play in the next fortnight provided they are fit and sharp.

Leeds travel to Leicester City on Boxing Day and host Portsmouth 48 hours later. In the space of four days over New Year, they will clash with Middlesbrough and make a long trip to Cardiff City, the last league fixture before their FA Cup tie at Arsenal.

"It was vital for the players who haven't been in the team to get some game-time," said Grayson. "It's important that they keep their fitness levels and their sharpness up.

"We've got a vital period coming up and when you're playing on Boxing Day, December 28, January 1 and January 4, no player can play that amount of games in such a short space of time. Everyone is going to be called on in the next few weeks."

Leeds fielded two trialists in Monday's reserve meeting with Newcastle, including Jamaican midfielder Jason Morrison.

The 26-year-old â€" a full international with his country â€" is available on a free transfer after leaving Norwegian club Stromsgodset and Leeds will assess him in the coming weeks with the transfer window set to open on January 1. Young Everton defender Zac Thompson is also on trial at Elland Road.

United chairman Ken Bates hinted this week that the club would make improvements to their squad next month, despite the wealth of resources already available to Grayson.

A long-term deal to bring loanee Andy O'Brien to Leeds from Bolton Wanderers appears increasingly likely, and Bates said: "We are non-stop, always looking at how we can improve our squad. I won't go into specifics but I can assure you of that."

Grayson's second anniversary as manager falls on Thursday, a key landmark for a coach recruited from Blackpool while Leeds were at arguably their lowest ebb in League One.

He is the first United boss to complete two years in the job since Kevin Blackwell and only the second since David O'Leary, earning him glowing praise from Bates.

"With all the madness in football, he's probably one of the longest-serving managers in the league," Bates said.

"He's brought stability to the club and he's not a headline-seeker. He's just got on with his job. We've supported him in every way we can and in every way we can afford. But in saying that, his demands are not excessive and he's realistic.

"He's respected by everyone and he's got a cool head. When we lose, I don't get panic calls the next morning saying 'we've got to do this, that or the other'. There's just a cold assessment of what went wrong and how we can put it right.

"I've got great hopes for Simon and I hope he's here for many years to come."

SLÃ...R GRAYSONS PLAN FEIL?

Ifølge dette intervjuet står Grayson fritt i forhold til å forvalte de midlene han har til rådighet. Fornuftig, tenker jeg. MEN er det sånn at satsningen på lånespillere og en for stor stall (i fjor) ha tatt noe av brodden av klubbens kjøps- og lønnsmidler?

http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds_united_exclusive_bates_comes_out_fighting_full_interview_1_3675845

Sitat: Budget

“If he (Grayson) wants to buy a player for £5m then that’s up to him. But it might mean that he’s only able to pay his other players three quid a week. So the budget is his and he invests the money as he sees fit. The decisions are his.”


Hvis vi velger å legge all skyld på Bates her så skyter vi litt over mål, mener jeg. Grayson har et stort ansvar for den daglige driften av spillersiden. Selv om ønsket om bedre spillere er der så har vi altså ikke klart å skaffe oss noe gull i løpet av sommeren. Nå er vel lånevinduet oppe fortsatt i et par måneder så det er fortsatt mulig å låne oss til opprykk.

Forsåvidt greit, men målsettingene må justeres til å være oppnåelige i fht de midlene som er til rådighet. Med konkurransen som er i denne divisjonen mener jeg det er komplett utopi å ha opprykk som målsetting når vi ser hvilken stall vi har. Bare tenk på hvilken midtbane vi må starte med neste kamp nå som Gradel og Howson har karantene. 4-4-2 med Clayton og Brown sentralt og vår eneste "friske" spiss Mccormack + Nunez på topp? Vi har en for tynn stall til å dekke opp for skader og suspensjoner. Det er rimelig klart.. Sesongen handler om å overleve i championship dessverre.

“If he (Grayson) wants to buy a player for £5m then that’s up to him. But it might mean that he’s only able to pay his other players three quid a week. So the budget is his and he invests the money as he sees fit. The decisions are his.”


Hvis vi velger å legge all skyld på Bates her så skyter vi litt over mål, mener jeg. Grayson har et stort ansvar for den daglige driften av spillersiden. Selv om ønsket om bedre spillere er der så har vi altså ikke klart å skaffe oss noe gull i løpet av sommeren. Nå er vel lånevinduet oppe fortsatt i et par måneder så det er fortsatt mulig å låne oss til opprykk.

Grayson har kanskje et budsjett på 9-10 millioner pund til spillerkjøp OG lønn, så er det altså opp til han å velge hvordan han allokerer disse pengene.

Pt har vi 26 spillere i stallen. Hvis gjennomsnittet f. eks. er 6000 pund pr. uke, har vi altså knappe 2 millioner pund til spillerkjøp OG lønn (hvis busjettet er 10 millioner pund).

Kan ikke skjønne at det er Grayson som har ansvaret for lønnspolitikken i klubben. Grayson sier til mun hvilken spiller han vil ha. Da er det opp til mun å gå i forhandlinger med spileren og tilby ham lønn.
