Better Red Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just now, Ecko said: Please explain. I'm genuinely intrigued to hear what you have to say. The squad is probably best we have had in terms of competition but lacks a sprinkle of magic that all promotion teams need. Pearson started it and now it needs 2 or 3 quality signings to add to it and I think we will be closer to the top 6 than we have been in a long time. We are having more control in games tonight aside than we have had a long time. You can see the pattern of play and a plan. Its not quiet there I except but I honestly think we are getting closer to being a top 6 team. We are closing the gap to the Coventrys, Watfords etc.. I think we can go and win at these teams when we have everyone fit. We won’t do it this year but next year with the 2 or 3 signings I think we can give it a genuine go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPAZZA Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Well. Won’t talk too much about the game, first 15 minutes you pressed us, looked dangerous, got in behind a couple of times and I was concerned for the night ahead, ended up that was it bar one chance, feel we should have been 3/4 up within 60 minutes, awful finishing and your defence was all over the place. Main point I’ll make sat in E34 Dolman next to the away fans, filled with 18-25 year olds (good you’d think) loads of fans for the future, most of them probably watched a total of 65 minutes, on their phones just talking to each other, no contribution to atmosphere even during your bright start, up and down to go to the toilet probably 3/4 times, selfies etc. i was very surprised at the atmosphere, it was as poor as the football. Obvious Jimmy Saville chants which Leeds fans replied with MOT. 2 minutes applause impeccable Don’t see you getting anywhere near the playoffs based on that, disjointed, no fight, no plan, little pace.

Jimbo76 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Really surprised by some of the comments on various threads tonight. We lost 1-0 to a team that are basically a premier League team and will be again next season. If we play well against West Ham or Forest and then have an inferior performance, it's not because we have a bad team, it's because we don't have a strong squad. Leeds can bring players off the bench that we couldn't buy for the first team. Key injuries plus 7 games in 3 weeks, or whatever it is, means our lack of squad depth is exposed. The likes of Williams, James, even Pring, can't play at the required intensity in so many games. For me, it was most evident in the back 3 tonight. All 3 making so many errors despite high praise recently. Bottom line, they have to play every game because we have no choice. But the result is inevitable. I have no criticism of Manning or the players. Our current squad lacks the quality in depth to have sufficient rotation and to play quick succession matches at the required tempo. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rs Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The QPR, Sheff W and Cardiff games at the back end of February are make and break for the season it feels! Said at the start of the season I would be happy with a top 10 finish, obviously didn’t expect nige to go but that doesn’t change my expectations/goal for the team this season. If we win those threes hopefully we can push on in the latter stages of the season and climb back into the top half. Would be nice to have a really good end run going into the summer and next season, usually doesn’t happen for us. Fair enough to Manning for admitting we weren’t good enough in every area today, no point getting overly worked up on this one. More annoyed by the Preston and millwall games personally.

Bazooka Joe Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 No doubt about it, we were really poor and totally outplayed for virtually the whole game. For those who go on about how good Leeds are, let’s remember that other clubs outside of the top six, have beaten them or got a draw. They are a good team, but not invincible. We gave them far too much respect, room and time, and it looked like we went into the game lacking belief and ideas. Contrast that with how pretty-average Preston applied themselves when they beat Leeds recently. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Leeds are a very very good side. And it’s always the case that you can only play as well as a good side like Leeds let you. But what was disappointing tonight is that we didn’t even reach that standard. Too many players just had poor games. I reckon the whole back five had probably their worst games for ages, all on the same day. I don’t know if it’s just the number of games catching up with us.

1960maaan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I'll start by saying that Leeds were probably the best side I've seen this year, Played at pace moved the ball and players moved brilliantly. Then they could even go direct and they had players the width of the pitch, that could hold and move the ball and create space. Pace throughout the side , good technically and strong. I know we were poor, but that is the biggest chasing I've seen us get this year. As for us, the complete opposite, wasteful , ponderous , continually giving away possession , poor touch allowing them to close , simple passes going astray in fact there are no redeeming features about tonight. The only player who I thought you could say played pretty well was Max, and even his kicking drags him back. With Leeds dominating so much, I'm amazed that Manning just sticks with his formation, Tommy did ok but feels wasted out wide, Knight does not look a good fit for whatever position that is and it just doesn't make enough chances for the strikers. Sadly , I think we are stuck with this system for the time being. I hope he can start getting a consistent performance out of them soon as playing like that we will be looking over our shoulders all too soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Sobering to note that with both of tonight’s teams having played 30 games Leeds have 22 more points than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was 25,400 and either 2500 or 2900 from Leeds. Looking at them I'd say the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthS22 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Embarrassing. What were we doing? Either press or drop into a block. So easy for Leeds, they must have thought it was Christmas again. Fair enough we were worried about their pace, but having the front 3 press with no one following behind is inept. Proper horror show, haven’t seen us that outtplayed since Holden. I get that the squad is thin and we played too many games, but we were still our own worst enemies tonight. IPlay offs? Not even close.
