LUFC Grayson not to be fooled with
Simon Grayson once again showed that he will not accept poor performances by his Leeds United team after giving the players a piece of his mind at half time in Tuesday nights 1-1 draw at Grimsby Town.
The major turning point in Leeds season last season was when Grayson locked the players in the dressing room for almost an hour after the dismal 2-0 defeat at Hereford United.
Leeds form turned dramatically after this game with the Whites losing only one of their last fifteen league games.
Speaking on the official website Grayson said "I don`t care if it`s a pre season game, you have to show desire and passion.
I expressed my opinions, but the good thing was we showed a good positive attitude in the second half."
Leeds will entertain Premiership side Blackburn Rovers in their next pre season game on Saturday at Elland Road as they build up for the opening game of the season.

Thats the good thing about Grayson, he's a Leeds fan who knows what the club means to the fans. If they are not going to give 100% he will soon get rid.

This is one of the aspects that makes him a good/great manager...Everybody including the fans began to relax a bit too much about the pre season but I think Grayson set things right before it began to become a problem...Fair play!
Gromjo
I hope it has re-enforced his desire to get the defence sorted and some of our defence (3 out of 4 last night) out of the team. If Lubo, Casper and Hughes had had half decent games last night we might have started believing they were okay. Hughes can play midfield and LB but is a useless RB and LUBO and Casper are just useless.

I couldn't agree more erni. Michalik is one of the worst players I have ever seen in a Leeds shirt.
