Brentford - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[fredlufc74]

Had a disargeement with a fellow Leeds supporter towards the end of the match.

They kept saying things like "we are only half way through the season" and "But it's Brentford"

So when are we going to start playing and winning. A Youtuber called Just Joe put up a screen shot the other week. It took the top six teams out of the league, results against them as well. Do you know where we were sat? Second from bottom, only Southampton below us.

And since when have we looked at Brentford and been happy with a point at home? They came up a season after us. I'm not knocking Brentford but surely our sights should be aimed higher.

Jessie's post match interview hye said "things are coming together". Sorry to rain on his parade but other teams around us are winning games and"things are coming together" for other teams as well.

It's a good point well made. Yes we should hope to be better than Brentford but that's football, this season we aren't, so it a good point to have gained.

I get the point about the top six as Ted has said our league is about beating the teams around us which we aren't or haven't been achieving.

However the last 3 matches have been OK performance wise and that has me wondering if this is where we turn around our season?

Would bringing in a new manager give the team the lift they need or would it have the opposite effect if they are getting the hang of Tedball?

That's why I feel the Forest game is *****. If we win and win well it might be enough to keep Ted in the short term, anything else, even a close or lucky win and he should go imo.

So is this the Forest who were rock bottom of the league and are now 3 pts above us 🤔

Exactly, that's why I feel its a make or break game for Ted.

The cushion to the bottom 3 is now 1 point. Jesse had the opportunity to change up that game with an influx of subs - his reading of match situations seems as poor as some of his tactics.
