Forest - biggest game of the season so far.

[WTF11]

Would be happy with 2 points from the next 2 games.

Ditto, although I cant see it tbh

I'm going to agree with HO on this one. I think we take 6 of 6 points. early goal at forest.

I think Brentford will be much tougher but.... PJ was prone to snapping at times on big games. Brentford is scoring goals for fun right now but we may change that.


I hope HO and I are correct.

Bizarrely as the thinking is we will struggle those teams may go at us and give us room to attack more - fancy us getting 4 points

Except that our problems are not that we struggle to break teams down - we don't, in every game this season bar Millwall away we've created more than enough good chances to win (and many cases win comfortably). And coupled to the fact that we currently need something like 4-5 what are classified as excellent goal scoring chances (chances which would be expected to be taken 75% of the time) before we score once, we have also started leaking goals at an incredibly high ratio to the number of good chances created against us (in quite a few recent games chance conversion against us has been at 100% i.e. teams have scored with all of their good chances).

So, we have a terrible conversion ratio, and we're conceding to high proportion of the chances created against us. And I don't see why that's going to change against Forest and Brentford. In fact what you'd expect is that we actually create less excellent goal scoring chances and the opposition create more. So if we're to take anything from these games we need to suddenly start converting our chances much more efficiently, and at the same time stop conceding to such a high number of opposition chances. It could happen of course, but if MB picks the same starting 11 as for recent games (as looks likely) there's no objective reason why that will happen.

IF results go against us and we lose at Forest and Brentford we could be in 6th place come Wednesday night.

What a depressing thought considering we were 11 points clear of 3rd not so long ago.

Hope yer right!

4 points from those 2 games will give us all a much needed lift!

Just watched the highlights of our draw against Forest. Good goal by Pablo and shambolic scramble for their equaliser but I was horrified to see Barndoor missing another 3 or 4 good chances. I most have convinced myself that he hasn't always been as dire as he is at the moment but sadly he REALLY is that ****e.

Here he is failing to hit the target (yet again) from ohhhhhhhh let's be generous and say maybe 7 yards from goal with hardly a defender in sight?





Please God, may this be that day that he comes good (or maybe doesn't play at all).

Watched the Wigan highlights last night..Bamford was really shocking in front of goal..mentally he must be suffering.

Not good.

Well Brum beating Bristol tonight was one in our favour Rev.

There were no "highlights", not if you're a Leeds supporter anyway!
