Leeds United - v - Huddersfield Town ***Matchday Thread***

[Tichi1]

We don’t seem to attack the ball when defending corners

Zonal marking will be our downfall, that and our wingers never running at defenders on the outside and ALWAYS cutting inside

[Rev72]

Leeds had to play away midweek. Hudds did not. The have to play, early game away. The run had to end, we didn't lose and for the above reasons, I am not that bothered. Pick up and go next week.

Fair point cherry.

Hopefully the lads will be recharged for the games next week.

Only problem when you win 9 on the spin you forget what its like to drop points

Game made for Dan James’ pace

Pace only works on the break, against a packed defence its not going to gain anything

[Rev72]

Leicester 2-1 down at home to QPR

Southampton 3-2 at brum

Ipswich 1-0 at Plymouth

"Not that bothered.......". Hmmm.....begs the question when folks WILL "be bothered"?

Not that bothered that......

1. We have squandered the opportunity to get within three points of Leicester

2. We had nearly 80% possession and managed an unbelievably paltry 2 shots on goal

3. We played a ten-man opposition for half the game, and scored once

4. We are now in third place having allowed Ipswich (who lets not forget have a run of wins of their own!) back into the automatic promotion places

5. Our lead over Southampton is now just 3 points

So, nothing to be bothered about in all that, given that the players must have been "tired"? WTF are subs for, FFS!

I hope Der Fuhrer is a bit more bothered.

Piroe ain't cutting it at all for me since arriving. Damp squib. Why the eager, skilful and keen Joseph didn't get a run....I've no idea. Apart from the goal, Bamford done nowt.

[Rev72]

I would have given Joseph the nod over Piroe today.

[Rev72]

11 games and 33 points to play for.

My concern is we seem to struggle against sides that are anti football and we have 2 to play next week!

Should have stuffed them today with the chances we had , even though we weren't at our best they were playing with 10 men for 60+mins , Southampton & Ipswich did their bit and with the foxes losing again it really does grate.

Ups n Downs.

Can’t disagree.
What also really annoys me too, is when we get free kicks, we very rarely put the opposing side under pressure with them, instead we play them back.
We really have to go up in an auto place. We don’t have the physical or mental strength to slug out the playoffs.

[Billyni]

Ipswich are like a rash the Rev or Andy would have. They just won’t go away.
Hopefully the fact that we have beat them twice will come back to haunt them.
