theowlsman Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It’s a strange one. We deserved nowt but then again we did, for keeping battling, competing, running, and chasing. Earned the point on effort alone. Lovely to see players putting a shift in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It would have been a reality check if we thought we were going to walk the league and Ipswich did that to us. Leeds are top of the league for a reason and whilst painful I will be very surprised if they don't get autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Thought leeds looked very decent, defending was back to the walls stuff, we can defend, but we can't get it forward, thought Hector had a good game, but they pressed us all over the place and we rushed every pass out, we don't seem to move it with any accuracy, some of the passing along the back line was suicidal!

Guest mkowl Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Disagree strong midfield stops the pressure on the defence, keep the ball and the opposition can't get at your defence. The midfield gives the ball away far too carelessly inviting pressure We simply need to start taking control in matches. Not seen us dominate a home game yet this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without him Bannan is terrible. What we lack is defenders who can actually pass a ball and someone who can head it. We seem to have found the header in Hector. But still no passing. 3 Completely agree on both points. Distribution was really poor at times, but there wasn't really much of a stable outlet to aim for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 L**ds will be there abouts at the end of the season. (Unless they burn out with the 100 mph style- not sure what Marcelos style will do to them during the hectic Christmas period. Pep was going crackers in his first year here as part of the festive fixtures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 A point that we were fortunate to get tonight .....but who cares. Having said that we were awful second half with the ball. No confidence or composure, no outlets. No idea really. Contrast that to the opposition who all seemed happy with the ball at their feet, played fast forward passing both long and short and whose movement off the ball was first rate. Some way to go yet!

Although they dominated us, we dug in and restricted their on target shots. Leeds are in relegation form.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yeah...we just need to spend. You know, ignore the flipping embargo we were under for 4 or so months, and start splashing the cash. That'll sort it. Better yet, perhaps we can splash the cash on buying the OP a new brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in hell was Pudil on the bench again with Thornley playing? Hardly rewarded for his great performance vs Villa. Broken nose - don’t think he was on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlinmad Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 We got battered. We also got a point. We only conceded to an excellent unstopable strike. That's football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality check is actually that we battled it out, We are in no way world beaters and won't be owt like for a couple of years. Yea leeds were the better team, but we ground out a result, not pretty, very nervy but theres a spirit in the side and its that spirit that got us the point against Stoke and the point tonight...3 against a Villa side Thornily, Penney, Baker, those lads were playing in front of one man and his dog last season..Then they walk into that!!? Anyone with any sense knew it was going to be a struggle this season, it might well be the same next season, we have to live with it. I would be worried if the performances were gutless, but they aren't, and Thornily , Baker and Penney are going to improve.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wiped the floor with them at home last season and they have much of the same team. Yes they press but they were passing through us for fun tonight.
