Aftermath

[whitestomper45]

So taking the "shopping at Tesco" analogy a little further, let's examine (as was being discussed in another thread very recently), the performance if Sheffield United, (who have been shopping at Aldi), for players who seem very capable of responding to pressure and not performing like my local pub team, unlike most of our 1st team against a team with 1 away win before we gifted them their second.

Good luck, bad luck, FFS! these are PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS who performed no better than the pub team I mention above, and just how many of the many chances we created were anywhere near their supposed target??

Stop making excuses for pi55-poor performance, and as for the message to the 1st team (as opposed to support for Leeds the club, which is a whole different ball game, literally), it's "get your sh1t together and win games you have no right to lose!!!"

If The Blunts are so much better than our pub team, and never fluff their lines... how come we are on the same points as them?

Because there is our little sister and she doesn't get as much money to spend but somehow finds a way.

It's just an emotional reaction isn't it. We lost a game we all know we should have cruised, we should have put 4 past them (at least), we should have wiped out the goal difference disparity between us and Sheff Utd etc etc etc And then we saw Norwich drop another 2 points, and look at the table and think fkn hell we'd only be 2 points behind Norwich now, if only.....

Except like I say, we didn't, and not because our players are 'sh1te' or 'bottlers' - if you want to know about 'sh1te', have a look at Ipswich, or Bolton, or even better, Stoke. Now there's a genuine example of bottlers. As a general rule a team of 'sh1te bottlers' isn't right in the hunt for auto promotion from the Championship with 3 games left..... No, like I say, we lost because we have a team of players who aren't world class, who aren't (probably) even Premier League class, and yesterday, not for want of trying, it really just didn't happen - they've out-performed all expectations this season, but on this occasion they fell short. And this Sheff Utd team which is suddenly the paragon of Championship success, (unlike 48 hours ago when according to quite a few on here they were 'struggling to cope with the pressure'....), that'll be the team that drew at home to Millwall, lost home and away to Bristol City (we didn't), lost to Derby (we didn't), and blew a 3 goal lead at Villa (we didn't).

They were in League 1 2 seasons ago, now they are aiming for automatic promotion to the Premiership, where WE SHOULD BE AFTER A DECADE of languishing in the second tier, and our 1st team appear not to grasp that significance.

Do in give a f00k about what points we have? Sure I do.

Did our 1st team when they played against ten men for 75% of the game yesterday? Not so sure.

Stop doing your usual deflecting/side tracking/back tracking.

What has the division the Blunts were playing in last 1 or 2 seasons got to do with the here and now?
They've had 13 players in and 12 out in just the last season alone.

You have been bashing the team (yet again) calling them a pub team and bottlers! While telling us how the Blunts can handle the pressure......
Yet we both have the same amount of points.. = same amount of "bottling", as OWTaff say's these are not PL players.

look at our form since Jan and compare it to the Blunts. Hard game against Hull they win 3-0. Winnable games against Wigan and Brentford we look feckless and clueless for all our possession and pretty patterns. For a team sitting so high we luck as if scoring is the impossible dream atm.

Jeeeeezz - you are a disgrace and a prat!
....and call yourself a Leeds fan - **** off!

Read my response to Denver's comment abiut us "bottling it".

We didn't. We're just not consistently good enough.

But......for once, in almost a decade, we seemed to have the chance to make something magical happen. We've never been a Scum, or Chelski, or Sh1tty, always been penny pinching and always (and I mean ALWAYS), played secind fiddle in the financial aspects of football, but for once that seemed not to matter, but we just haven't been consistently good enough. Folks may hate Norwich, but look at their results and tell me you wouldn't want what they have delivered, and like Blunts, without spending a kings ransom to do so. Why can't we do that?

[Rev72]

Well if it wasn't bottle job then I can honestly say I really don't know what one is!

One of the poorest sides in the division who had won just one f*cking game in nine..down to 10 men and a goal down with over 70 minutes to go..and they manage to win..hard to believe really when you look at whats at stake.



Ok then..lets scrap the 'bottle job' and just call it a 'complete f*ck up'.

There...thats better.

FFS!

Best Season in 15 year for us and it isn't over yet.
