Charlie BCFC Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes very bad score line and I wasn’t there but by some comments looked like we deserved to lose 3-0. But we’re still in 6th which is playoffs, still our first loss at home since the last day of last season and then second since February. Paterson only missed out through illness so will be back for the foreseeable future. Hopefully Smith, Baker and Pisano are back soon as they were needed today. Then we go again for Palace on Tuesday and Sunderland on Saturday. I believe! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yep I am with you. The boys really paid for a bad first 15 minutes and by then being 2 goals down it was going to be a tough task to come back. 5 changes and most due to unfortunate circumstance. It's not the end of the world but I would say, those who did get their chance(Woodrow, Hegeler and Leko) did themselves no favours in regards to future playing time. No one grasped the opportunity and that's disappointing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 But this result and performance comes off the back of a poor display against Burton. It is to easy an excuse to say bad day at the office and we go again, that is just cliche bollucks . Today display was simply unacceptable, Johnson should apologise and get them back into training tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see what you mean but we I thought we played well v Burton on the whole just couldn’t finish. We just have to put it behind us no point feeling negative about it.

Ivorguy Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Almost every team will have injuries and suspensions during a long season, but the problem here is that we were led to believe that we were now in a position where our squad was good enough to cope in those situations. On today's evidence it isn't. Let's hope we get first choice players back soon and then improve the squad in January to achieve a comfortable mid table finish.

Yes they are promotion candidates, but given that I keep reading we are still sixth many think we are too. Two poor performances, but hey ho Tuesday is around the corner!

COYR I agree and said as much in another post, however we cannot just gloss over the past 2 games, we created little or nothing in either game because our midfield was woeful in both games, Smith and Baker were huge losses to us today and it is evident that firstly Pack is in no way a replacement for Smith and if Hegeler is above Magnússon in the pecking order something is clearly wrong and our lack of right back cover is a worry. Bad day at the office but clear warning signs that must be heeded and rectified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfieldred Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hopefully LJ will learn from this. I thought the way he set up today was hopelessly optimistic. It's like he had forgotten that you need to defend and keep things tight. Even good players will let you down if you expect them to do a job they are not really equipped for and also that can badly effect confidence. Poor management today I thought, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should have been one more defensive mid. Brownhill instead of odowda on the wing. We looked ridiculously open in front of the back 4. Just like during our losing run. He basically played 4-2-4.

reddogkev Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I take full responsibility for the loss today - all because of asking about the chances of a top-2 finish. By posting such a ludicrous thread on Wednesday, I'm afraid I guaranteed Leeds a 3-0 win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 It was a poor performance today but as others have said, Leeds were very good. Talking to a couple of their fans afterwards they were saying it`s the best they`ve seen them play in weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 It's more than a bad day at the office. It exposes the lie doing the rounds before this game that we had strength in depth this season. It's a welcome reality check. Take two or three key players out the picture and we look dreadful. Let's not dress it up. Leeds didn't deserve to win 3-0 today. But they deserved to win. No doubt about who was the better team out there. Work to do in January....

But he is our back up centre half now. It was him or Mags. Either that or start maligning even more changes by moving Wright and bringing in an inexperienced RB. In hindsight it didn’t work out. Hegeler was terrible! But the initial selection made sense with Baker being ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we’d played that defensively at home, people would have moaned about it. Hopefully it was just a bad day at the office. A very bad day!
