jonesy87shef Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not a fan of it, especially when playing against a team that will press high as a team close down at every opportunity. Sometimes players just need to use a bit more intelligence on the pitch and take a bit more responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It is not a strength of ours and agree it does worry.me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 How many times do we have to do it before realise we not good enjoy or realise they closed us down to stop us doing it. Pointless putting ourselves under pressure just to end up hoofing it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The main problem is the fans that are ‘scared’ we’re going to lose it and start screaming. Puts pressure on the team. Happened tonight and the performance level then dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 This my point in the Dawson thread and it's why he is in goal. The keeper has to be able to kick perfectly with both feet as he aint got time to switch it to his best foot and Dawson can kick it very well with both feet.

GMOwl72 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The one tonight on about 75 mins which went to Bannan who lost it about 30yds out. Ball then whipped in, Palmer ball watching his man ghosting past him and somehow they missed.Crazy! It’s the trendy thing to do isn’t it. Coaching courses these days must have a whole section dedicated to it. Got away with it massively tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t let players settle on the ball. Not to mention options weren’t there and our off the ball movement was lacking. Often players had their back to goal and were dispossessed as they had nowhere to go. I don’t put that down to the fans who spent time and money and made the effort to support the team.

dewsburyowl58 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Defenders not comfortable or confident enough, it’s clear they need more support from midfield just too pedestrian and get closed down too easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly the fans fault. Well the ones that scream like little girls. And partly the players fault for not managing the game well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem was that Jos didn't learn from our 500 attempts at playing out from the back against a team that pressed high against us and stopped any ball getting to Bannan, thus rendering our midfield useless. The fact that Jos stood there and did nothing about it, never telling Dawson to mix it up which resulted in L##ds plan A working all match and our plan A about as useful as a chocolate fire guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 As soon as lees is on the ball we are under pressure it’s pointless, we don’t even use our wing backs correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d get it at any stadium fair enough if it’s a learning curve but you don’t need to do it absolutely every time, and especially not a side of Leeds quality. Are these players ever gonna be amazing at playing from the back? No definitely not, just feel you should play to your strengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks bad when it doesn't work out, but I'm happy to go with it while the results are ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
