Blues fans taunt Leeds United boss Grayson

Leeds manager Simon Grayson cut a dejected figure on the touchline last night as United were thrashed 4-1 by promotion rivals Birmingham City.

Nicola Zigic scored four times to leave Leeds reeling and in the last 20 minutes, Blues fans taunted Grayson with chants of: “You’re getting sacked in the morning”.

Grayson’s side had won two and drawn one of their last three games, but this latest slump in front of a crowd of only 19,628, comes too soon after three successive defeats over the Christmas period had seen them slide out of the top six.

Grayson said: “It was fantastic how we started the game. We could have been two or three up in the first five or 10 minutes and that’s why it’s hard to explain a result that you just couldn’t see after 60 minutes.

“But we showed our inexperience and naivety with the goals we conceded because you’ve got a 6ft 7in bloke who has played at the highest level and we didn’t stop the source with the balls they were getting in.

“It was too easy for him to score the goals.”
