Mus Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I too was embarrassedtill I watched the Manchester derby and that made me feel better. (Oh and before anyone starts I am not comparing United to Man City or us to Man Utd, its just that derbies are strange games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Quest managed to cobble together about two mins of highlights. Brown gave us credit for our defence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GY-owl.4 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 How much of a moral victory is it when you have to go 6-3-1 to achieve that clean sheet? cant see how its somink to build on, we have to prove we can get a clean sheet in a game were we are trying to score also. lets say we concede in our next two games, then pick loads of defensive players with a defensive formation and get another clean sheet in the next game, is that progress? until we can shut teams out, while at the same time getting involved in trying to win a game... im not convinced.

They've only been taking 200 to 600 most away games but they've already sold 700+ for visit to Hillsborough. So they were happy to pay £27 for a Blackburn ticket and coach will have been about £20 = £47 £33 ticket for S6 plus a £5 day saver ticket on bus (X78 of course) = £38 Too expensive. yer they make me laugh . £33 aint that high only slightly above the average in championship. they are a very poorly supported club who have to borrow supporters when they go to Wembley . its there cup final when they come to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 thought it was a cracking game with 2 sides giving it everything …...why we get criticised for not rolling over to a very good blunts side is a mystery to me . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 If there’s a few of us in the pub, and we get them to put the Wednesday game on, it’s groans all around Most of the non Wednesday supporting lads say we are the most boring team in the league to watch. Thinking about the games I’ve seen on tv this season, it’s hard to argue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's come to that; and the manager certainly thinks so, it's a sad reflection on the club as a whole. We are not a good team to watch; probably haven't been for two years, but wins held us together. Once wins are put at risk by extreme defensive tactics; attempting a clean sheet at all costs, we are going drift even further in to the not good to watch pile. It's an entertainment business - it's not 1974/75 when it was painful but at least cheap. We are in very clear danger of becoming a boring team and fans will start to drift away.

I watched it in a bar in Tenerife and a couple sat on the next table were Leeds fans and to be fair they wanted us to win. After the game he said to me 'How can you pay to watch that week in week out'. I just winked and smiled at him the night after, 4 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
