Yeah play your strongest line up
That means don’t start
Piroe
Gnonto
Anthony

I’d of played
Dan James
Rutter
Cryscensio from the start

They’re are three form attackers


Oh well
Thanks Earl

Agree. Summerville and James HAD to start, given their form. Staggering decision.

But wait…he holds the ball well and brings others into the game 😡

Vintage Leeds... Oh well back to reality and hopefully the team bounces back on Saturday but not good tonight, lost valuable ground to Ipswich as a lot of the players were just miles off it.
Still 3rd though and plenty of games left to make sure this is a blip and DF gives them a right royal ballocking so thar this doesn't happen again this season.

As poor as the performance was, Farke should feel responsible for that!

Looking forward to Farke's presser. We know what the first question should be - why the **** was Bamford allowed to take the penalty?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We all asked that the last time he took one in the Prem! I was screaming at the TV, I knew exactly what was going to happen. I knew it would give a boost to Stoke as well and I knew we were going to lose the game. He must NEVER take another one.

He didn’t start though and he did win the penalty.

Crap decision to let him take it though and a crsp decision not to play Summerville and James from the start.

Agree! He won the penalty and had a nice flick to Summerville…but he’s got to score goals.

Gutted.... really really soul destroying defeat after Saturday's great comeback.

There are 11 players in our team that should be able to put a penalty away. How many would you back to score to make it 1-0 on 70 odd minutes?

For me Bamford was well down the list of takers but I bet at least three or four others would have missed as well.

I feel for him but he has to be banned from taking penalties until he’s stuck a few goals away first.

Plus Farke needs to understand that every team ups their game against us. We have no easy rides in this league at all.

Maybe a wake up call for him as well.

Bamford's record at penalties has cost us 3 consecutive times against Arsenal, Newcastle and now tonight so bad luck/misfort8i76une usually happens in 3's so you could say on the laws of probabilities he will score his next penalty but I doubt he will be afforded that luxury ever again for Leeds..... Oh for a good old fashioned Mel Sterland type smash the living daylights out of the bleeding thing low and hard.

I genuinely feel for Bamford, too – I'm sure he was keen to take the penalty for three main reasons: to get a win for the team, to help restore his self confidence and to get the fans back onside. The poor guy must be having sleepless nights. But us losing three otherwise nailed-on points for what, in effect, is one man's vanity project is unforgivable. I haven't heard Farke's presser so I don't know if he addressed this, but I'd be furious if I thought that behind the scenes, he wasn't dealing with this and sorting out his penalty takers.
