Following last nights game the level of negativity is outrageous.

Any City fan there just needs to accept that Leeds are just a much better team than us and have been both home and away.

They are a team that are full of players worth millions of pounds and as much as I hate to say it as Leeds is definitely one of my most disliked clubs last night they were outstanding in the press and one of the quickest teams all over the pitch I ever remember seeing.

Patrick Bamford is exactly the type of forward we need.  Clever movement, link up and also not slow.

I know our club called us top 6 squad, and this might be where the upset is coming from, but there are some teams and budgets that when the opposition is on their game in this league (which Leeds were), we simply shouldn’t be able to compete.

I am still more than happy to give Manning the time he needs and see what he can do with the lad Medube and Twine in the team.  Sykes on the counter and I for one will still be right behind the lads come Wednesday.

There was a real lack of belief in the players tonight and it’s the first time they for me looked tired.

on to the next one.

Beat Forest Wednesday.

Sykes & Twine comes back.

The new winger looks a world beater.

We win 2 on the bounce

Can’t wait for everyone to then come back on here and say we are negative , crap football etc..

I have been watching for 45 years and we are in the ‘good years’.

Give Liam a chance it feels like we are building something.

The growing attendance and away followings say it can’t all be bad.

If we maybe 3 quality players to the squad in the summer which is already competitive then we have a chance of a top 6

28, ST since 6yrs old. Never felt this dis-engaged. "Manning ball" is awful anyone who disagrees is kidding themselves. Pearson should never have been sacked maybe not always pretty but played to our strengths and was effective. Thanks for the good times and the infrastructure but time to go Lansdown.

What about if we beat Forest on Wednesday ?

Not sure it’s not a wum post SuperJ

He likes attention 

What ? 
 
If you got a point of view make it.

What have i said that means you want to reply with above?
 

Just now, Superjack said:

Jam tomorrow.

Maybe. 
 

But sooner or later if we keep progressing.

I think this ‘squad’ gives us that  platform to make the next step.

Its down to the signings in the summer and Manning.

But we do need to add quality not quantity and that is what hopefully improves into a top 6 side

Just now, Ecko said:

Please explain. I'm genuinely intrigued to hear what you have to say.

The squad is probably best we have had in terms of competition but lacks a sprinkle of magic that all promotion teams need.

Pearson started it and now it needs 2 or 3 quality signings to add to it and I think we will be closer to the top 6 than we have been in a long time.

We are having more control in games tonight aside than we have had a long time.

You can see the pattern of play and a plan.

Its not quiet there I except but I honestly think we are getting closer to being a top 6 team.

We are closing the gap to the Coventrys, Watfords etc.. I think we can go and win at these teams when we have everyone fit. 
 

We won’t do it this year but next year with the 2 or 3 signings I think we can give it a genuine go.

Over the 3 games

At least as well

What?!  I don't recall us being a team who regularly conceded at least 7 or 8

I didn’t bother watching tonight. Just for a laugh will someone sum up Mehmeti’s performance in fifteen words or less please?

Could have nicked us a point….

We have been daylight robbery

But he did have a shoot on target that the keeper saved well

Do you honestly think we're moving in the right direction? Really?

Yes I do.

Just now, Jerseybean said:

Half a dozen immediate post-match thoughts…..all of which pain me to say.

1 I don’t think I can remember us being outplayed for 90 minutes this season, as we were tonight

2 I lost count of how many times we passed to a Leeds player and how often we had no out-ball

3 We were very, very fortunate to only lose by one

4 If (and it is a big if) anybody ever thought we are a top six team that performance will certainly put them straight

5 A very disappointing performance, only Max came out of that with any credit

6 We were given a footballing lesson tonight

Leeds top 2 they are no bench mark for top 6

Coventry are too 6 comparison

Lost 1 -0 to a prem side no real disgrace.

None of the Top teams had scored that many against us.

Clearly better side.

Their forward line is £60m+
 

Difficult for us to compete against that.

Played West Ham, Forest and Leeds at home and only conceded 1 goal.

I actually think that is progress. Won’t get seen by many on hear but a few years back we have conceded at least 7 or 8.

Over 3 games a win a draw and a loss - that actually is improvement.

Ling way to go I will except but we are slowly moving in the right direction.

Only because the rest have been incredibly poor.

Leeds have had 6 shots.

2 off target, 1 blocked.

One of the saves was right at him, the other was a very good bit of reactions, but very fortunate for the ball to bounce over the bar from that position and was also right at him.

The other save I genuinely don't remember- in fact it just came up in the highlights and guess what... it was straight at him.

I realise this won't go down well with his fan club who can't bare anything other than effusive praise for him, but saying the shots were at him isn't a knock on Max (though it will probably be claimed as such), it's the reality of them.

He's done all he needs to do right, and so is doing well, but the reason Leeds aren't ahead is down to poor finishing rather than good goalkeeping.

In fairness to Max not just because the rest have struggled.

He has done well.

I was the one who said I was a Anti -Maxer when was Max was playing during covid and I have to say he is proving me wrong more and more each week.

Manning needs to come up with some change at half time otherwise it’s only going way.

Need something to change in formation. 
 

Maybe bring on Cornick (cant believe I am saying it) and go long down the side and hope for a bit of luck with a flick on for Conway.

Not easy against a team that are clearly better than us in almost every position.

Leeds are going back up either with Leicester or in the playoff.

Such a big gap to the relegated  sides.

Need something wide to give them something to think about.

Max’s starting position for sweeping up is exceptional.

MoM so far 

Only reason we are not 2 down 

Tanner is having a shocker - needs to come off at half time and move McCorie back there.

Bring Bell on we need an outlet wide with pace.

Step up from us.

Dickie being shown up against top class forwards at this level.

Max has kept us in it.
