Leeds United - v - Derby County ***Matchday Thread***

[Billyni]

All the best lads. Just not good enough. Maybe see yas August.

[Rev72]

Lack of discipline by beradi as dual, and casilla, got what we deserved....nowt

Casilla cost us that game tonight.

[norfolk white]

Let's hope bielsa is still there to do it, along with Pontus, roofe, Phillips, Shackleton etc....I now have my doubts, how many chances did we balls up this season to do it.....endless, absolutely blew it.

[Rev72]

Well when we bottled auto's I said Villa would win the play-offs..would prefer to see them go up than Derby.

[OldWhiteTaff]

Whilst completely gutting its still been a decent season.

Majority of the squad is the same as last season so MB got them to over perform. Had a lot of injuries - Roofe missing was huge.

if you think back to the summer Bamford was a bit of a panic buy when the first choice targets (A Hernandez) didn’t come off. To be fair to him he did have a bad injury to be harsh but fair he doesn’t really work in the Bielsa system.

next season the clear out will continue and there must be lots of kids knocking on the door. Only a few players away from bing a very good squad and MB will have a full summer with them.

on the plus side at least I don’t have to make another trip to Wembley and see us not turn up.

Until August - MOT

No getting past it, Bamford as been sh1t full stop, (even in the games he scored he missed other sitters), and tonight he was toweringly abysmal. And yes, as soon as Marriott came on it was pretty clear Berardi was going to struggle, so Bielsa should have responded.

As for Casilla, WTF..... without that fkn ridiculous cock-up Derby would never have got back into it, so if this is down to anyone it's down to him.

Also, pains me to say it but Pablo has been off the pace for a while now, and tonight he looked tired and very little of what he tried came off properly.

But yes, in the end, it's almost to be expected, if there's a way (or two) for us to fk things up, there's every chance we'll find it. M biggest hope is that we're competing near the top again next season - in the cold light of day I do think I'd actually prefer another season of genuine excitement than a gruelling struggle to finish 17th............

[LeedsFTW]

I know I am saying this with the benefit of hindsight, but I am absolutely certain that if BPF had started tonight, we would have won.

Bamford cannot play the lone striker role.

Reality is we gifted them 2 easy goals and left the subs to late to make a difference.

[UbiqueLUFC33]

Dallas, Klich, Phillips only players worth taklin about All!the rest-s h it

Dallas had his best game in a Leeds shirt and Hernandez his worst.

I thought that Phillips and Shackleton were both good, Ayling wasn't bad and, based on his normal level, even Harrison did OK apart from the 6 yards out centre of the goal pass back to their keeper.

Cooper was useless - he should have cleared the ball before their first goal and, if necessary, taken that clown pretending to be a keeper with it. Totally unnecessary penalty too.

Berardi once again showed a total lack of professionalism - even though he was fouled in the build up and that numpty pretending to be a referee did nothing.

Bamford was (once again) flimsy and feeble. We have got to sell him or put him on E Bay.

Poor decisions from the manger - Bamford should have been off ages ago; why not bring on Pontus and stick him up front? Clarke is far from a game changer - he had one good 20 minutes all season and has done nothing since.

Overall, I am utterly devastated and have taken to venting on here rather than taking it out on the wife, children and dog.

This is up there with my worst Leeds moments alongside:

Getting a detention for fighting on the school bus when someone wrote something bad about Leeds on the steamed up window.

Being at Elland Road when we were relegated.

Being at Wembley when we lost to Doncaster fcuking Rovers.

DELUSIONAL!!!!!!!

Radrizzani - gone
Bielsa - gone
Phillips - gone
Shackleton - gone
Clarke - gone
Jansson - gone
BPF - gone

Clear out?? F00king fire sale more like. The club owner has catastrophically miscalculated on what was required to ensure promotion. Investment in a prima Donna GK when TEETH up front were more crucial, has led us to where we are.

Who in their right mind would seek to help out cash-strapped owner, and why would Bielsa stay when there is every likelihood that the core of the squad will be sold or seek to depart in the summer?

"Decent season"?????????? Yeah, very Decent, and completely non-productive.

[BelfastAndy]

Hope NEVER to see BAMFORD in a Leeds shirt again. Hectic. Don't give a **** about the stats - goals/mins ratio. Don't care. He's horse ****. ....and don't start that refs against us boll0x ffs. Ayling gave them their winner by trying to beat their entire fkn team himself. Casilla........OMG.

[Rev72]

It was there for the f*cking taking in January and our owner was either skint or thought we could go up on the cheap and did f*ck all!
THAT is where we failed.

Gutted?..Yes!

Surprised?..NO!
