  1. Good to hear, means we're playing to Tomlin's strengths. Having said that id much rather see Burns RW than Freeman.
  2. Just because someone 'can' play somewhere doesn't mean they should! Had this from a Boro mate when we signed him
  3. Amazed to see Freeman and Tomlin in the same team, I hope it means Freeman is out wide and we're not pissing about playing Tomlin out of position.
  4. In fairness Leeds away is a tough fixture regardless of who your manager is. We can't suddenly expect to be handing out thrashings left right and centre just because the manager's changed. The telling thing for me so far is that in 235 minutes of football under JP we have conceded one goal, against a premier league striker.
  5. I can't fathom how anyone could have watched that game and thought Reid was 'very good'. Take out that one good pass to Burns (and credit where it's due - it was lovely) and he was simply awful, by far and away the worst player on the pitch! And for gods sake someone stop him taking corners! Agree on Little - his game has really gone downhill. One trick pony and I think he's even forgotten that one particular trick...
  6. So terrible that an established premier league side created the same number of clear chances as we did? A team thirty-something places above us, when we had several first team players out, a 19 year old debutant in goal, a first start of the season in Wagstaff, and our only defensive midfielder out of the game. Yes they didn't need to get out of first gear, but to suggest they slaughtered us is simply not true. At the end of the day they were the better side, as they should have been. No complaints on the effort front here, they're simply a better team! Think it might have been a different proposition with Korey, Bryan and Kodjia starting.
  7. What game are you watching? They have had one shot on target. They did what they needed to do but you made it sound like we got hammered.
  8. I don't like singling out players for criticism but he's shown Saturday and today exactly why he's not playing regularly. Yet the people who cream over Bobby will talk about how bad Pack is. I don't understand.
  9. Yep, but at the end of the day it's mid table prem vs struggling Championship - you'd expect them to edge it over 'two legs'. We're what, 4(?) first team players light tonight, with a 19 year old in goal, one player making his first start in a year or whatever, our only recognised defensive midfielder out of the squad, and a 36 year old leading the line alone against premier league defenders. Can't fault the effort here.
  10. Freeman off is a shame, he's been good. Can only be thinking about Saturday I'd guess. Smith in for Reid and Joe back in hopefully.
  11. In the build up? Because it was definitely Flint who got beaten by Rondon in the air. Amazing that anyone could single out Pack in this game for criticism, but sadly not surprising.
  12. Most of possession, but they've still looked by far the more dangerous. Don't think we can have many complaints when you consider the quality gap. If it stays like this I won't be disappointed with 1 goal conceded in two games vs one premier league team and one soon to be premier league team.
  13. It has to be one of Freeman or Reid, not both. Can't blame Pembo, we have no options. Gladwin offers us another option at least for when we're without Korey.
  14. That was too easy. Disappointing to concede so softly, misjudged by Flint. Kodjia on please - at least he can create something when there's not a lot on.
  15. Fantastic effort Freeman. Good show first half lads. Could go either way this.
  16. Del the latest to squander possession by aimlessly punting long. Hopefully Pembo can tell them to be a bit more confident in getting the ball down at HT. We bossed them for the first 15 mins with some nice football, not sure why we've reverted back to route one
  17. Need to get the ball to feet more, they'll mop up these long balls all day.
  18. Never thought very highly of Savage (and I'm being polite there) but he's had some very nice things to say about the club.
