Can they throw more flares on so we don’t have to watch any more?

is it wrong for me to not give a shit any more?

I’m exactly the same, tempted to turn over to the F1 buildup 

Back to the end of the LJ days where I find myself spending more time scrolling through OTIB/my phone than actually watching the match. 

Not sure how well McCrorie fits into LM’s style of play. Seems to run with his head down into cul-de-sacs a lot. 

Don’t panic everyone we have two world beaters in Mehmeti and Mebude to change the game.

I know it was wrong, but Martin was such a **** about it.

As usual.

Just saw that on the replay, absolutely scummy behaviour trying to get his opposing manager sent off for what was a clear accident. Zero respect.

With all this talk recently for blue cards for cynical fouls, why are the refs not protecting the current system they have by booking players who commit them? Numerous times Saints players did this in the first half and the ref did not book them.

Agreed. I'm surprised so many were fairly keen to let him go at the end of the season.

James was excellent tonight and deserved MOTM. Also a shout out to Dickie and Mehmeti who were worthy MOTM contenders.

To be fair I think most were happy to see him go thinking we would persist with the 5 at the back and 2 in midfield which leaves him exposed.

He is a monster in a midfield 3 like tonight and has many more good years in him if that is the way we want to go. I hope we do!

Great positioning Georgie

Got away with one there offside or no offside

Expecting Max to get criticism soon for not being in the game enough 

You’re right - not enough assists!

They were, most because it was 2 slow midfielders against a team built around quick movement and creating overloads all over the pitch, which more or less meant that there was nothing to shield them.

Yep, I find it hard to point fingers at individual players tonight because the system clearly did not suit them or the match and it was insane to not try to change it.

Vyners been awful this evening 

The whole defence have because they were completely exposed for 90 minutes.

Leeds will be disappointed at this score line! 

How bad is our crossing? It’s infuriating 

It’s ludicrous really, we’ve been overrun in midfield for 85 minutes, and we are still persisting with the same system that clearly has not worked.

Tanner and dickie tonight Awful

Hung out to dry to be honest in this tactical set up

We are so clearly outnumbered with that 2 in midfield. I can see what Manning is trying to do with implementing a playing style. But tactically sometimes he seems to just not make those tweaks until it is too late.

Max’s starting position for sweeping up is exceptional.

Just now, Lanterne Rouge said:

They`re closing him down in an instant.

And he’s taking too many touches 

Williams looking very off the pace so far

Knowing Nige like we do laughing I would think as he knew exactly what was going on and what would happen; as did we to be fair. 

It’s all a bit jarring but Max Bird is a good player so no denying that I think.

The deal is another interesting one. Is loaning back to the clubs our new strategy of getting deals done? Not sure where all this leaves the academy now, maybe it’s complimentary. The going back on loan approach is clearly a risk but there is less chance of him getting injured with them than us!

I think we wanted this player in the summer and this was how to get him. Derby were not going to let him go in Jan, and we still have James on the books until the end of the season. So this was the smartest way of doing it.

He had the chance of a reverse ball to Mehmeti… very intelligent decision not to!

Don’t worry, Cornick is on now

Don’t get how they get that much space on the edge of the box when we are winning.

What a delivery that is TGH
