SiJ Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) I prefer to describe it as pedestrian and passive. It was criminal how easy Leeds won that game yesterday. We put them under zero pressure in the latter stages. Edited February 26, 2017 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almat Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Plus it's not like Leeds had to be any good to win it (because they aren't). Edited February 26, 2017 by Almat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they played much better at S6 earlier in the season. Was very poor how we threw the towel in once the pen was missed. Seemingly any desire or belief to get themselves back in the game went from that point onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsfan82 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 O.K. O.K. Regardless of the meaning of the word, I think we can ALL agree that it was a poor performance on Saturday. That is all I wanted to say really. It was slow, and really boring to watch. I never meant it to turn into an English lesson. I for one do not want to watch this slow boring football. Where is the fast attacking football we were promised by Mr. Chansiri? That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest SIJ, I thought the substitutions were the game changer for me, Carlos just couldn't wait to get Bannan on and why for the life of me didn't we see Winnall instead of Fletcher I'll never know.

doubleo Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This thread would have been 2 comments long had the OP used the words, SLOW, PREDICTABLE and BORING instead of sending some scrambling for a dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Carlos brought in lot of class and quality, and class on the ball, and then for some reason decided to shackle all that talent with zillion of tactical and defensive duties. I say, give this lads bit of freedom, and lets see what they can really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think he was right to tighten things up earlier in the season but his lack of willingness to play wingers has caused a problem. I thought Bannan gave us more energy and Fletcher was brought on to battle with the likes of Jansson, but Leeds have a very tight defense and we simply ran out of ideas.

Spring is when things come home to roost. 53% of our imports come from Europe, 47% of the rest has to be paid for in dollars which is now worth 18% less: do the maths it's not difficult.
