Leeds assistant coach Paul Raynor said Leeds were shambolic in the first half Leeds are now 17th in the table, having won just one of their last 11 matches.Asked why Evans did not speak to the media following a fifth game without a victory, Raynor told Sky Sports: We know you are going to ask questions and we know you want answers.We are trying to give answers to the players on what we think of that first-half performance which was absolutely shambolic, not good enough, and certainly not good enough for Leeds United.We cant worry about the chairman. If I was him I would have gone as well to be fair, because he doesnt want to see his football club playing like that and I dont blame him for that.
