This may be of interest to some people. In a way this doesn't surprise me- you remind me of Wolves a bit for one, not so much in terms of players but structure- defensive structure of h. Think you conceded 1 shot on target v WBA at home, a free scoring side like that. In other words, you have conceded more goals than your performances merit. Interesting.

bcfcredandwhite Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 For me, it depends on whether Maenpaa is fit. No disrespect to Max but Niki is our number 1 and contributed hugely to our unbeaten run. Max hasn’t been getting many games so isn’t likely to be as ‘sharp’. I can’t believe that Frankie is injured again - Out for the remainder of the season according to LJ Basically - with Maenpaa either a city win or draw. Without Maenpaa either a draw or a city defeat (but always hoping for the win of course!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Maenpaa either a draw or a city defeat (but always hoping for the win of course!!!) My understanding is that Maenpaa should be fine.. He was taken off "as a precaution" on Saturday and Max played the full 90 in the U23 game last night and I'd imagine he wouldn't have played all the minutes if he had to play 90 minutes on Saturday as well. I don't remember any team having such bad luck with injuries and goalkeepers as we have this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont think that is true with the exception possibly of some extreme cases. Some of the criticism over three years has been very much founded, unlike some aimed at his old man, but he has come through it. We are a very decent side, although the Birmingham defeat was a debacle. LJ from the outside looks good, but he is extremely streaky, whether by luck or not, but anyone taking him from us best be prepared for what’s coming. I guess we will see what the next 12 games brings, hopefully enough points for a play off run!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah basically we have conceded more then we should, bad luck (3 deflected goals vs Norwich, wonder goal vs Wednesday and poor keeping etc) and we havent been clincal enough. On a basic level we concede the fewest shots per game and have the most. WBA was the first time where everything really came together. Norwich are extremely clinical, thats the difference, if they ever regressed to where they should be (probably wont happen) then us and the Blades would overtake then.

According to your earlier chart, where Leeds are 1st in nearly all categories, we might as well just give you the points now and save the time and effort!! That is until you look into what it actually proves, yes you have lots of possession, passes and the most shots, but you are ranked 14 & 15th in converting them, so maybe not quite so impressive after all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't clinical, a source of frustration all season and it has cost us before and may do again, maybe on Saturday, certainly not taking it for granted we will beat you away. Just saying that if we click properly like vs WBA we are imo the best side in the league, unfortunately for us that hasnt happened enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we start like some of our home games , I fear we could be 2-0 down by half time. I think a draw . This. For home games he needs to change his tactics and go at teams from the first whistle no matter who were up against especially at this stage of the season. If he doesn’t from this weekend then no Play Offs for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can definitely get at them, but it will be tough. Statistically FWIW, them and Sheffield United are the top 2 in a number of aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjay Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Felt we deserved the win in the end, 1st half far the better side, didnt give you a moment to settle and tactically Bielsa out thought Johnson (who says some very odd things). The tactic of letting your cbs have the ball and marking there options was clever, meant you had little option but to go long and that meant a battle for 2nd balls something we excel at probably more then any other side in the league. Some lovely play first half and deserved the lead. Thought you came into it more 2nd half where you had a bit more attacking threat. We were a more worldly wise side imo 2nd half, not so good to watch but frustrated and annoyed you with things like players having a cuddle before going off the pitch. May not be pretty but sides who know how to do that sort of thing tend to do well. Overall thought we were well worth the win and to go to a top 6 rivals ground and limit them to just 4 shots showed a very solid and well managed performance, bit disappointed with our finishing however and had Diedhiou took that chance maybe things would have been different. Not our most exciting performance but a disciplined one that showed a toughness that we will need in the last few games. Think Lee Johnson made some odd choices, how did Semenyo a striker end up in a back 3 for our 1st goal? Why play a 19 year old out of position? And the way he spoke after the game he implied we were lucky and he wanted to play us in the playoffs, strange. Can see you making the playoffs, got some talented players, but Johnson needs to work out why you are so streaky, win a few then lose a few.
