Dredd Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 If there was ever a game when a team needed to fire into a few tackles and get in the oppositions face it was today. That whole game I was waiting for a spark, something to get the crowd going, to get the team going but it just fizzled out. It got me thinking, how many players have we actually got that can be that nasty bastard and really wind up the opposition? Taylor - undoubtedly Famara - Occasionally, normally when wound up himself Those two aside? Pack and Brownhill don’t have that blood and thunder mentality in the middle of the park and when they both have a game like today well below par then they aren’t bringing much to the side. Teams can get results just by wanting it more, and that’s the attitude I wanted to see, but we didn’t get that today in what was a massive game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Paterson for me. Only one trying to play like the Leeds players we're playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 We won’t have those type of players whilst LJ is at helm. That’s not criticism, you just have to look at the type of players we have brought in. Possibly the centre halves aside, but everywhere else is far too lightweight.

Roe Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Couldn't disagree more with this to be honest. I thought we did that side of the game ok really and the game was scrappy enough as it was. It was just having any quality on the ball or up front that we lacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 We really could have done with Korey on the pitch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a lot more spite and nastiness in our game if we want to get promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Too soft. Too nice. We dont ever deal with physical sides. LJ moulding the team in his playing style. We are desperate for a couple of ‘generals’ to run the team. We arent streetwise. We dont manage games well when under physical pressure because we dont have a single nasty b&stard in the squad!! unfortunately thats where we are. I think a recruitment line of a few ‘big uns’ is required over the summer to help us cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Should go out in the summer, spend millions on getting Pearson from Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post - we are too nice and lots on here just bleat and moan when teams play the game aggressively with more ‘streetwise’ attributes....they just get accused of being ‘Warnock-like’ - it’s a tired, boring and lazy ‘accusation’ when what they probably really mean is ‘we got out fought by big, nasty blokes who wanted to win more than us...’ - our game management and toughness (or lack thereof) has been an issue for a while...
