[Moonlight dribbler]

He had that problem at West Brom too who had been playing Billics zonal marking, play out from the back style with no CF, The players found it hard to adapt to Allerdyce's direct style. In the end think Allerdyce gave up trying to adapt his style, bought Matieus Periera back into the team and let them play to his strengths. In return we beat Chelsea 5 2 away, Wolves 3 2 and Southampton 3 0, in the end we ran out of games and it was too late.

I am hoping it is like when Ron Atkinson went to Nottingham forest.

I think the teams they're playing adds to the complexity as well. He may well look at two as a dead rubber, play purely for a point and not notice attribute losses to his style, but rather that opponent. Surely will be too late then.

I just can't see him getting a MAJORLY offensive minded team to be sitting back and not trying to hit everything on the break. My views are usually the opposite of what winds up happening tho so we're stuffed.

 

[Peter The Dog]

he won't make a blind bit of difference, but don't blame him for taking the job with a £1m carrot dangling after only 4 games.

he'll be pin-pointing the wham game, which is the only one leeds have a chance of getting points from.

The mad thing about footy is, it's mad. Keeping my mouth shut until the end of the season.

Can see there being a Ron Atkinson wrong dug out moment....

Yeah, it's 1 in 3.

Get him back

Allardyce will prove why he’s better than Dyche.

The ignominy of Leeds escaping instead of us now.

 

[Bebeto]

Tactics are simple with big sam...11 players behind the ball and to avoid at any cost conceding a goal with little to no focus to the attack. For sure it will have a positive impact on the goal difference which could ultimately become a deciding factor but unlikely that he will be able to get enough points on the board unless extremely lucky (one chance one goal type of luck). I am expecting forest to still finish above leeds and probably us...

I am hoping it is like when Ron Atkinson went to Nottingham forest.

And his first game at home instead of sitting in the home dug out he sat with the opposition in the visitors dugout

 

[Piranha]

Leeds have miles better attacking players than that West Brom team did, they don't really have problems scoring goals.

 

[banno]

i don't think he will have much impact on this Leeds team. When he took over us we actually had much better players than we have now so that argument is mute. Do you think he would get us to safety with our team as it is now?
