Ready when you are LIW…

Thanks for joining in everyone on a terrible night s showing

Terrible performance. Beating Leicester and Ipswich means nothing if you give up points to teams at the bottom.

Poor lacklustre after a dream start.
I hope Farke identifies why and we get back to playing a lot better than that but good luck to Rotherham and they showed they ain't no pushovers.
Harsh lesson I hope is learned by some of the players too who may think they're the bees knees. They are not!
Thanks for the thread Earl.

That's a really bad result. Gutted

Wasteful again. I do worry this squad think they are up. We're 7 off the top 2 who have a game in hand

The reliance on Somerville is a worry

2 points dropped.

Rotherham had better chances second half - poor fare.

Thanks Earl and Co.

Total lack of killer instinct - complacency came back to bite. Gap at the top will widen again tomorrow.

👍

Should have had pen and a red card, but that isnt reason we didnt win, very poor performance second half. We got what we deserve. Subs were poor too.

Yeah there was an arrogance about us tonight after we scored first. Arrogance that led to embarrassment in the end

Apology please…

Is it just me or is our ball movement and negative play at the back shutting down most of our forwards runs/stopping them finding space. The back four and most of the passes the two center midfield do are 10-16 feet balls and sideways or backwards. If we went earlier, our wide men and front two would have space to play in. It is great we are doing well, but we need a ball player in midfield and we need to shift the play quicker! We are wasting the capability of our forwards with the slow build ups.

Nope. This

I actually had a dream last week about this game and Gnonto got a last minute winner for us which I thought at the time my dreams never come true so I did have a slight worry about tonight.

That's Shef Wed and Rotherham in the bottom 3 we couldn't beat and only just beat QPR.

Hopefully tomorrow's results aren't too damaging for us but it feels like we've given other teams around us and above us a massive psychological lift and I am actually still stunned we weren't good enough to win tonight despite my ominous dream.

Thought the 3 Welsh lads looked poor for us tonight. Rutter was non-existent too after his France u21s appearances.

Last international break we looked all over the place Vs Southampton. Done same tonight

We really need WBA to beat Ipswich tomorrow to try and take a little of the bitter disappointment away from this result and hope Huddersfield don't lose at home to Southampton and maybe Watford can frustrate Leicester... Big ask but not impossible.

Not going to make you grovel LIW - haven’t got the heart. But remember, being critical of the team isn’t being negative or disloyal - it’s just telling it like it is. The realists among us could see this coming a mile off - which is just about where that automatic spot is right now…

Yep why oh why did Leeds agree to this schedule?

An extra day's rest probably would have made a big difference especially as Rotherham didn't have the same number of, if any players on International duty and so were fresher.

A14 spot on, said to a mate when we scored this could be ten, there manager looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up, we dont press home, Kamara all fur coat and no knickers, big week two home games win them its happy days, as Ronnie Hilton sang two points at home and one away that'll do,

👍 I forgot we play Swansea on Wednesday and Boro on Saturday both at home so not long to get this bad result out of our system.

Also I'm as sure as you that Farke will behind closed doors getting across to a few tonight despite jaded legs by the international duty players that the performance fell well short of our usual standards.

I am actually convinced now that a team we really do slaughter this season will be a side we least expect to as the bottom 3 clubs you'd think we'd thrash we've been unable to.

How did we not win that ff5. Miles better than them 1 to 11 yet still made hard work of it. Unless we get top 2 I can't see us winning the playoffs when we switch off in games nearly every week. 2 points dropped again

Hi Macca, so being unable to beat a bottom 3 side convinces you we’re going to ‘slaughter’ a good team? Hmm, not sure about that logic…

What we really lack is that player on the bench... the selfish fox in the box who knows this league and will just sit in the box and find the target

It's what we ideally need Bamford to be but it's not happening.

I'm thinking back to someone like Kevin Phillips in his latter years...That knowhow and experience. The sort who won't be complacent

Come on Lorra... it's Leeds we're talking about.

There is no logic around Leeds so I've given up expecting us to thrash a side near the bottom which by thrash I mean by at least 5 goals which so far a 3 goal margin is our best this season.

We've had plenty of chances again tonight but it's almost as though they are trying to score the perfect picture goal and being over elaborate and flash and ultimately extremely careless against opposition they underestimate their stubborn scrapperbility you must crush without mercy when you get on top.

Hopefully my theory comes true next week.

This is very true, we're lacking a Gordon Strachan or Pablo and so I feel Farke needs to sacrifice one of the front 4 to accommodate Gray in the middle joining Ampadu and Kamara and then I think we'll have a better balance to the team.
