swampyowl01 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Just watched some of the barnsley v weeds game. Both teams going for it, pride, passion, commitment, closing down players, pace, players passing the ball quickly then moving into space to receive it back. Not the drab garbage i watched friday nite and the last few games. Where we f@#k about with it in defence at walking pace passing numerous square/backward passes between midfield/defence and westwood, putting ourselves under unnecessary pressure. Let the opposition worry bout us and what we can do ffs. Not this cautious poo that we have been playing for some reason this season. Commitment, pride, passion and quality football like last season. Thats all i want! Edited January 21, 2017 by swampyowl01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohgoditsjames Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Barnsley looked great, Leeds were dire, hope Leeds play like that more often, wouldn't wish injury on anyone but they'd be hopeless without Wood which is quite amusing consdering all last season and the start of this season he was getting some right flack from their fans. Could we maybe get Villa or Derby to sign him? Maybe if we put a bid in for him Derby and Villa will take the bait...

I'll go along with closing down players and passing the ball quickly then moving into space to receive it back, but pride and passion don't win football games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So many sides make goal scoring look so easy compared to us especially considering the amount of money our squad has cost.Glad we have a usually reliable defence but we always rely on fairly narrow wins and it's risky. 22 games since we last scored 3 goals (last minute vs Bristol City) and only scored that amount in 3 of our last 41 competitive games.

danswfc1987 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Id pick prob 2 players from both of their teams for ours n thats it. They both play to their strengths n play players where their meant to play in a system what suits them n we dont. We shoe horn ours to please fans/manager n wee wee ball bout we it passin back n fourth. Carlos without a doubt is the best manager weve had for years but slowly losin faith n cant help think we the players we have that a better manager would get more out of our players. Think hes took us as far as he can im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all i want! One team still lost. Wonder if Leeds forums are going mad over the tactic and poor defending, letting in 3 goals against a club that are smaller in size, have less spending power, and lower in the league. Monk out, that's it auto's are off, we might not even make the play offs, defence is rubbish, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
