Leeds United - v - Norwich City ***Matchday Thread***

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Good stuff. Watched at the local pub.

Wonder if it would make sense to run same lineup up against palace. We looked good and Norwich was in form

Wouldn?t play either James or Piroe from the off.

Also Tanaka plays better forward.

I agree on your conclusions above.
read and heard so many discussions about Tanaka. a beautiful intelligent addition to our team when we are at it. but overall balanced views often suggested he shows defensive frailty in getting caught out when facing attacks.

his form has been inconsistent to be fair and whilst I am not questioning his ability hes not going to be one holding down a starting spot presently within the demanding pace of pl game to and fro tempo. many regular observers suggest that when he loses the ball or is caught out then his composure can drop, leading to rash decisions later on in a game.

always liked James ability to forego his natural direct attacking instinct to do his shift defending his flank but maybe now as before in his pl shifts at differing clubs that final product in his ability range is frustratingly still hit and miss.

interesting if you could provide a fan feedback experience of your day at ER on here which can be forwarded in helping to regularly evaluate our clubs current progress which will help them create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all fans feel valued and heard.
any such feedback will help evaluate the clubs progress who need to report back to the pl on all achievement targets made at the end of the current season.
the transformation of ER into a UEFA category 4 stadium will obviously place it as an elite venue hopefully accommodating most on our 26,000 waiting list and transform the local Holbeck and Beeston community with an emphasis on current travelling to the ground experiences to forward to National Highways to take on board all views.

Yeah Tanaka is a conundrum at times but largely based around where he plays.

Played in the pivot yesterday and you can see the other players trust him as they are always happy to give him the ball. He also reads the game so well and anticipates runs and danger well.

Sometimes he needs better support but also if he ends up static with a player he can get outmuscled but only game time wil improve that.

Was in the West Stand for the first time in ages (Bremner Suite) - the suite and hospitality was better than the centenary suite package. The actual seating area itself is fairly dated and the gantry above looks decrepit.

Getting to the ground is alright but at night leaving the main route back into town is rammed if you are walking. A few ppl took the route to the right coming out of low field which is easy to get lost on if you don’t know the route especially at night. The club should put more money into the Holbeck viaduct project as that would be a great walkway to and from the ground.

They should consider providing more how to get ther into with the tickets.

The pies were miles better than they used to be and both tasty and no longer put you in gear of losing a tooth.
