Barnsley - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[Billyni]

Excellent win today its always tough going to oakwell they always raise their game, amazing how people see things differently, someone says Klich was awful well sorry he was class and never stops he is getting better, It was an intimidating atmosphere for the players there were fights braking out all over the stands wi so many Leeds fans scattered all over, this makes the win an even better one, we were far better than them it could easily have been 10-2, one little rant from me, we lose to Swansea and 128 posts on that thread compared to a brilliant win and 50 odd, amazes me really its as though some so called fans want us to fail.

Personally speaking and im sure it refers to a lot of others as well, i dont like getting beat (especially in games we should have won) so i would tend to whinge a bit. Wheras when win, im usually too bluttered to even recognise a keypad.

I have to agree with others on here suggesting a start for Nketiah (or Nkeeeetiah as the guy commentating on Sky Red Button seemed to think he is called) and Costa.

The fact is for over 80 minutes we looked in danger of either losing or drawing that game due to all the chances missed.

If those two had played from the start, chances are we would've been comfortable by the time Bamford could come on with Harrison and play more conservatively up front.

The other way round means a lot of pressure on Costa and Nketiah to get us points - i've posted recently about the company Eddie kept at the Toulon tournament win in 2018 when he was a young lad - virtually all of them now playing/scoring/goalkeeping regularly in the Premier League. To me, Eddie looks like a proper player, as we already know Costa is, compared to Harrison and Bamford who have the odd good game but are very inconsistent in changing the game with their forward play.

Said previously that I can fully understand his reasoning for keeping those 2 fresh if Bamford can do the job and wear the defenders out somewhat...a luxury if we can get away with it.But it is obvious this tactic can cause up to drop points too when it doesnt work! And that just may be the difference at the end of the season. Not saying he has to alter the tactics fullstop...but just try one of the other two from the start once just to see if it does work earlier in the game. We just can't keep missing chances and half chances that regularly when games should be done and dusted.

Nketiah is a Ferrari- Bamford is a Lada

Bamford has a head like a 50p piece

Had to check the authenticity of the match reports todsy on account tgat Leeds scored from a free kick and a penalty (in the same game). On another matter, does anyone know the extent of fighting in stands i.e. are we going to be fined or docked points?

Surely by now you know there is always an inquest when we lose???

Part of being a fan pete..and as billy rightly says when we win we are all usually too pissed to say owt

Very nice and just be grateful we did not start with Costa and Eddie.

Nice to see the usual vile on your board towards us makes the 3 points even sweeter
