Match Thread v LEEDS

[fredlufc74]

Good game, think that you played well, very much like us you try and walk the ball into the back of the net. Ref was a bit of ajoke to both sides to be honest. We played well first half but the second half belonged to you, Roberts was brought on at half time and then subbed for Ayling, that showed the pressure you was putting on us.

I like S.Bilac as a manager and hopefully both teams will see promotion this season as we both play attacking football.

You where a bit unlucky second half, but your keeper kept you in it couple of times, and you where lucky to finish with all 11 on the pitch!

Best team we have played so far this season by a mile, but against a team that attacks us we can pick teams off, we stryuggle against 11 defenders.

You, us, and Fulham at the end of the season for me.

Fair play, hopefully you’re right about the top teams. We (and maybe you too) desperately need forwards who can score on a regular basis.

“Dark arts”......”Revie” and you accuse use of living in the past. “Didn’t like Bremner” for Gods sake..talking of Gods.
How old are you? Time you grew up and move along....but stay in the midlands please.

Good three points for us, no real pressure no matter what you think, you couldn’t score against us and got lucky coming away with only one against...and eleven men still on the pitch....really dark arts
I’m happy and real happy LUFC is still in your head.

Not remotely “in my head”.....just can’t stand Leeds.

Love Yorkshire,love Yorkshire cricket but just can’t stand Leeds.

Probably right though,shouldn’t let a two decade Championship and lower club bother me at all.

Thanks for the 3 points - we needed them. What are these Dark Arts of which you speak?

We were far better in the first half and you were better in the second. We had 19 shots and it took one own goal (or at least deflection) for the win. Our shot to conversion ratio is appalling. That's been our problem all season. Bamford had one of his better games for us.

You had about 76 bookings (using Diane Abbot style maths) and I'm fairly sure one of your centre backs was yellow carded twice although the second one was a little vague.

I feel that your comments are pretty fair. I also thought that Ojaye was booked twice but little mention of it was made by the commentator, so perhaps not. You are correct, you were the better side in a the first half but we were much the stronger in the second and you were hanging on a bit. I thought the ref. was OK and didn't favour either side.

Thought the ref was poor for both teams .

Leeds are a far Bigger Club than West Brom. I'd rather see them back in the Prem ahead of your club which has never brought anything to the Premier League during your spells there.

Yes, under Don Revie Leeds were the best side in the country for that period of time. However, historically Albion are a much bigger club. We are 11th in the all time list for being in the top flight of English football. Leeds are 19th.
Regarding the 'dark arts', although Leeds under Revie were successful there was a very thin line between playing within the rules and transgressing them. They often pushed it to the limit. Let's face it, they did not earn that reputation for nothing. Having said this, I am not inferring that the present side play in that way.

I don't quite agree with you BS as I don't think that we played it out too much from the back. It was in the final 5 mins. or so that we should have put the ball into the danger area more directly.

Precisely Leics buddy. Also as BS says, playing out from the back without quality ball players is suicide. We do not have such players.
