Burton Albion - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[Acido]

Good result that for us today, seeing Burton get beat.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

OK so my prediction we would 5-0 them again was a bit off, however, it's another great win, doesn't matter who we beat, they're all in the same division as us, it's still 3 points whoever you beat, so quite frankly, I'm a happy leeds fan today. Bring on the brum, hopefully get 3 more points and edge closer to the top 2. No criticism for anyone today, they all put a shift in, End of story. MOT!!!

Upon hearing Leeds turned it around he's on the next flight out to "Cuba"

You do spin a good yarn Jimmy my boy! "Turned it around"???? Did you actually watch the whole match, not just the bits on YouTube?

We were incredibly lucky to go in just one down at half time. If Burtons attack had been just slightly more on song it could easily have been 3 or 4. Wiedwalds positional play was as appalling as it usually is, the saves he made my long dead grandmother could have bettered. Burtons ineptitude was our saviour, not the defence (who collectively were poor, allowing way too many opportunities from the limited amount of possession they had).

The two goals were sublime, and maybe folks will get of Hernandez back for the odd game he doesn't turn up fully for, when he can out them away like he did Saturday and yesterday? Then through ball from Vieira was equally stunning and the touch from Roofes what we are coming to expect from him on a regular basis. But please, let's not imagine we played like the team that put 5 past them at ER.

Long may the wins continue, but we need a better GK and I agree with others about the need for a REAL captain/midfield general (not that I expect either to materialise, more likely some punt on an unknown from Greece or Albania).

Oh and Cuba is next June and Costa Rica in September, in case you're interested. 😉

Don't know what game you were watching but 65% of possession away from home is good going no matter who the opposition is !!!

So Cuba in June WTF11 .................

Well that's a shame 'cos I've just had the guest room refurbished for your anticipated visit to Loire Valley and shall have to procrastinate now on showing you the dark craft of what the 'wise old ladies of Loire' do with stale baguettes to their men folk of discerning rebellious tongues ................ maybe Autumn then WTF 11 and for June I'll pencil in Jez ?

Regarding the game I note your 'constructive' honest view of events and highlighting key moments which I applaud but suspect Felix will be firmly clamped by the 'testicle cuffs' for the foreseeable future regarding any comment to his performance from you.

No thanks. I'm still waiting for you to deal with equating reasonable criticism with disgraceful trolling. You can joke all you like but that's what you did, and it's not acceptable when this is a forum for discussion and debate.

[MrsORichSenior]

Offer stands unlike you who cannot get back up after my knock down blow.
Get up and fight back for right to equate not give in just 'cos I disagree.
A sense of humour is also required for this Forum take note as is balanced reason too.

I'm not interested in being 'knocked down' or whatever you are trying to say. Maybe you think some of the things you say are 'banter', but they go further than that.

I don't expect to fight on here, I just expect some decency in how people act in a forum. We're all Leeds fans on here, so you're wanting to offer 'knock out blows' is a bit bizarre. As it is, you have been called out, i left it, but you joked at my expense, hence i dealt with you again, and somehow that makes you think you've 'won' something?

i have plenty of humour but not when i'm equated with someone that disgustingly trolls a young footballer not out of his *****.

You only needed to accept you were wrong, but thought you could push it more -'fight back'? I'll fight back with logic, reasoned opinion and intelligence thanks, i don't need to stoop to your level.

If i had a go at everyone on here that criticises a player, like you have me, this forum would just be full of that - but the other people don't deserve that, and i respect their right to criticise anyway. Like you should.

Sorry if that was a bit lacking in over-emotional hysteria, but i prefer 'balanced reason'.

Think you need to let this go Jez
You're taking things to literally I think......
