Review of 2010/11 – Part 1 – Hello Hello, We're Back Review of 2010/11 – Part 1 – Hello hello, we’re back again After the high drama of the club’s promotion campaign, a dilemma faced Leeds United supporters in the summer of 2010: should they be satisfied with consolidation or dreaming of a first- time advance into the top flight? A relegation dogfight was just not on the agenda, but the club’s last experience of the Championship had been a desperate one. According to the eve of Promotion celebrations in May 2010, but by August Tresor Kandol, Jermaine Beckford and Paul Dickov season poll in the were forgotten as United prepared for life in the Championship Leeds Leeds Leeds magazine, ‘Building a platform for 2011/12’ was the priority for more than half of respondents, though 43% expected United to finish in the Play Off places. Manager Simon Grayson was bullish: “We are not in the Championship to make up the numbers, we are in it for promotion… but the sensible aim would be to make sure that we don’t waste a lot of seriously hard work by going straight back down. It took the club three years to get out of League One and the last thing we want is to risk going back there. “I’d like us to have a go at the Play Offs and if the squad here realise their potential then I think we can. But if it doesn’t happen and we end up halfway down the table then we have to be honest enough to class it as a decent season and remember that we were new to the league. “We believe we have a group capable of performing at this level. The younger ones who haven’t played in the Championship should be excited about the places they are playing and the teams they are playing and the crowds they will play in front of. Those that have played here before, we will be www.mightyleeds.co.uk - Review of 2010/11 Part 1 – Hello hello, we’re back again 1 looking at them to help the others.” The team was unquestionably stronger than that relegated in 2007, but most of the players were untried at this level and it was difficult to predict how they would adapt. The announcement of the retained list on 14 May confirmed that Casper Ankergren, Rui Marques and reserve player Andrew Milne would not be offered new contracts, while Alan Sheehan, Lubo Michalik, Andy Robinson and Tresor Kandol were advised to “actively seek to find a new club for the 2010/11 season even though they are still under contract”; veteran striker Paul Dickov had already departed at the end of a short term contract to take up his first managerial appointment, at Oldham Athletic; and young reserves Tom Elliott, Tom Lees, Alan Martin and Liam Darville were loaned out to lower league clubs. Andy Hughes accepted a new one-year deal but Jermaine Beckford ended a four-and-a-half year stay by completing his widely-anticipated Bosman transfer to Everton. Leeds agreed to terminate Beckford’s contract on 28 May, rather than allowing it to run to its formal end on 30 June. Since signing from Wealdstone in March 2006, Beckford had scored 85 goals in 150 appearances for United. United's new men - Paul Connolly, Alex Bruce, Neill Collins, Kasper Schmeichel, Lloyd Sam, Fede He paid an emotional Bessone and Billy Paynter line up for the cameras farewell on the club’s LUTV channel, saying that he broke down in the dressing room after scoring the goal that clinched promotion: “I got to the changing rooms and put my head in my hands and the tears dripped down my face… I can still feel it now talking about it. It felt like such a weight had been lifted. “I’ve enjoyed every single moment… The fans have been amazing and they have opened up my eyes to what football should be about.” The exodus left United manager Simon Grayson free to reshape his squad and he was quick off the mark, impressing with his first signing, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, son of Manchester United legend Peter. Signed from League Two champions Notts County, where he had kept 24 clean sheets and been named PFA League Two Player of the Year, the 23-year-old Dane agreed a two-year contract. The rest of Grayson’s summer signings were more mundane: Paul Connolly (Derby, right-back), Fede Bessone (Swansea, left-back), Billy Paynter (Swindon, striker), Neill Collins (Preston, centre- back, returning after a successful loan period), Lloyd Sam (Charlton, midfield), Alex Bruce www.mightyleeds.co.uk - Review of 2010/11 Part 1 – Hello hello, we’re back again 2 (Ipswich, centre-back), Honduran international forward Ramon Nunez and loanees Sanchez Watt (Arsenal, winger) and Adam Clayton (Manchester City, midfield). There were rumours of other arrivals, but such interest as there was in midfielders Nick Montgomery, James McArthur and John Eustace, former United men Ian Harte and Rob Hulse, and strikers Billy Sharpe and Gary Hooper came to nothing. Perhaps the most important deal was the three-year extension signed by the manager himself on 13 July, thwarting interest from Leicester City. Chairman Ken Bates said: “I’m very pleased. Simon has committed his future to the club despite enticing offers from elsewhere. We have every confidence in him. He has won two promotions in his managerial career - one here and one at Blackpool - and we’re hoping he can make that a hat trick at the club where he first started out.” Pre-season injuries sustained in Slovakia and Norway by Paynter and Robert Snodgrass meant they would miss the opening weeks; Grayson was disappointed with a 4-0 defeat at Bury, though there was one decent performance against higher class opposition, with a Max Gradel cracker crowning a 3-1 defeat of Wolves. For the opening day fixture, at home to Derby County, Grayson was deprived of Gradel, Snodgrass, Paynter and Davide Somma through suspension and injuries and was forced to go for Luciano Becchio as lone striker, flanked by Watt and Sam. Schmeichel, Connolly and Bessone debuted in defence and the side was made up by skipper Richard Naylor, Collins, Neil Kilkenny, Jonny Howson and Bradley Johnson. United didn’t look out of place in their new surroundings, but in the end only a sterling debut in goal by Kasper Schmeichel staved off a heavy Luciano Becchio scores on the opening day against Derby defeat. Derby took the lead after 13 minutes: midfielder Paul Green robbed Howson at midway and United defenders backed off as he played in former Elland Road favourite Rob Hulse. Hulse took the pass in his stride and clipped a shot around Schmeichel’s despairing dive. The striker declined to celebrate the effort, perhaps in deference to his former employers. United sprang back to equalise within two minutes. As Derby sought to work their way out from the back, Becchio chased down Leacock and the defender’s loose ball left Robbie Savage in trouble. Howson was on it in a trice and slipped past the wrongfooted Savage, running on into the area as two County defenders converged on him. Spotting Becchio in yards of space on the blind side, Howson clipped the ball back nicely, allowing the South American to slide it home. www.mightyleeds.co.uk - Review of 2010/11 Part 1 – Hello hello, we’re back again 3 Shortly afterwards, Naylor’s shot clipped the Derby crossbar but after 26 minutes the Rams regained the lead, when Kris Commons scored from a penalty after Sam was adjudged to have tripped Tomasz Cywka in the United box. Collins was the second man to rattle the Derby woodwork, but the rest of the action was with the Rams and Schmeichel denied them with a man of the match performance, prompting Simon Grayson to comment, “Kasper Schmeichel made some fantastic saves for us. He is a big personality with a big stature like his dad. His distribution and shot-saving were very good.” It was United’s first opening day defeat since August 1989 - the same season Howard Wilkinson led the club to promotion - and Grayson said there were plenty of things to take from the game: “I thought we did well at times and I was pleased with a lot of things, but there’s also things to work on if we are to do well… You have to play your football in the right areas. We want to be known as a team who like to pass the ball around but it has to be done at the right time and we didn’t do that against Derby. We were done twice on the counter attack and it showed me that we needed to work on when to play, when to go long and how to combat good players… When teams break, they break quickly and they have the quality to punish you. You can’t give opportunities in this league because the players at this level take them more often than they did in League One.” After that, the Carling Cup-tie against Lincoln City was a breeze; United won 4- 0, any nerves settled by a 2nd-minute goal from Howson. Becchio doubled the advantage five minutes later and Sam and Neil Kilkenny completed the rout. United next faced Nottingham Forest at the City Ground and, after falling behind to a ninth-minute Dexter Blackstock header, fought back to share the spoils with a Sam equaliser. An 18-man melee ten minutes from time dominated the headlines.
