Leeds United - v - Sheffield Wednesday ***Matchday Thread***

[ozleeds]

As it looks to me , and I know its early days , we won't be finishing in the top 2 and to be honest I think we will struggle for a play off spot.

Not being negative but realistic , as much as I hate what Sinisterra did to us yesterday todays game was where you needed him to unlock the door , you could say he's left us up the creek slightly the selfish tw@t!

A long predictable season ahead.

Players have a short time spam I don't begrudge good players who wanted to move for 50% more. The real crap is the Aaronson types who caused our downfall and were first out. Holding on to Gnonto Summer was a big mistake and will come back to bite us.
Said it before playing so many attackers is bonkers in this game alone we had 4 and Ayling was basically another as he played most of his time on the wing. What does the new CB bring that Creswell couldn't I think Cooper is even better than him all he does is sit back and pass around in the back line. I didn't want Shak but the kid was the only plus in this game.
If this manager is as good as people think he needs to change now.
Meslier Spence Creswell Pat Shak Gray Andu Kamara gnonto piera summer next game please 4 3 3 I know it won't happen cause he is as fickle as all the others.

Dont get too down about it Rev, Farke has had a tough start with the transfer window and injuries, the Wendies came to get a point and took it. Farke has done this a few times, started badly then got his team playing how he wants, not had a chance to do that yet - remember he only brought in half of his new signings in the last week.
We now have two weeks to Millwall, time to get his new players integrated and others back from injury, so early days and even the other top teams losing today should make for an interesting season - there are no nailed on top 6 in this league.

we will be there or thereabouts come next May, keep the faith!!

Piroe at nine?
His more natural role at Swansea was coming from deeper to arrive late. How he scored at Ipswich. Joel can also play up front, but we need players from midfield to score and he likes to come from a deeper position. Needed a pacy striker in behind like Rutter to push them back.

Were not looking for cutbacks, but low crosses along the byline.
Thought we got a striker we needed instead he is a number ten lol.

We are always playing with two behind one striker. Today Summerville and Piroe. Poveda was there for an emergency case. Joseph is not a natural 10, but may do a job there. We have creative players to do what needs to be done in that role.

Is he for real? Tichi I hope you are right what time should I expect the changes?

That is why you can't afford to lose easy points like we have. Getting them back is harder than the first option. Faith I think most are passed that after the last few seasons. Faith was MB but even he went the spiraling path.
Watching Castle Brighton what a game.

Early days lads. Spence will be immense. Gnonto mom for me. Wendy a poor side and we have to stop trying to dribble through the centre of defences ……….. Summerville. Thought he played really well but it’s that last act in the penalty area. Ayling gave his all. Good we have the ****ty Int’l break to get things going. We’ll be alright ………

[Ozwhites]

Games like that it shows how ***** it is to stab a goal in early when dominating. Make them push out at us. Probably win by a clear couple then. Definitely a bad 2 points dropped though.

[Monaco_Totty]

Plenty to work on in the break Oz.
One of those games that needed some midfield creativity for sure.
Stats don't lie in key areas.

[norfolk white]

You can put in as many stats as you like, the one and only start that's important is 0-0, that's the start that sits in the history book.

[Ozwhites]

Very true. But it should be the basis used to find out why we aren't getting the 3 points. And it has to be the lack of firepower in front of goal...and what fixes it.

Or alternatively Farke got a clean sheet - not had many of those to be fair have we.

Depends on how you view matters as gonna be an open league with no stand out teams so far & as we were late delivering ours think more points to come for this happy clapper. 👏
