ColeCiderRed Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 We were not at the races. Second to every ball. Couldn't get a toe on it let alone a foot. Sometimes you have to praise the opposition, I know it's hard as it's Leeds. If they were a humble set of fans you'd give them the high praise their team deserved today. So through gritted teeth I felt that was a midfield masterclass today from Leeds and something we would do well to learn from. One thing is for certain knocking long balls into Fam just isn't gonna work. Long season and a long hard look at ourselves after today. Dust ourselves off and go again.

The next four days are the most important of the summer. The season isn't over, not just yet We really need to get the good feeling back. Three statement signings by Thursday and things would feel a lot better than they do right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that performance i really dont know what people expect from a Gayle type of striker if he is going to be getting that service from midfield.

Hunt not good enough, Pack not good enough, Fammy too hit and miss. Yes it’s only the first game of the season but we have seen enough of these players to know which ones aren’t up to standard. Careful slating pack the mob will be after you, some on here just can’t see how poor he is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I blame the pre season. Many of that team did not look very fit, nor match sharp. 2 yards off the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Is anyone surprised we lost today ???......I thought not. Always lose to Leeds at home and away and play shit. Judge us on next 45. Badly need a striker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Leeds were very good, we were average at best. Don’t think we’re as bad as many would think from reading this thread though. An addition like the lad from Monaco to break up play and get it moving quickly would help, as would Nketiah up top. Today would just have confirmed that Diedhou in front of a three doesn’t work, and would surely have put Eliasson back ahead of O’Dowda. Let’s not all throw out toys out of the peak after that, it was bad but we’ve been worse and came unstuck against what is a very good team at this level.

We're all experts on paper (or on this forum at least) and it always amuses me how everyone is so sure of the positions we need to strengthen. We are definitely short of a few players and I'm not certain that this lad from Monaco will be the answer. But I am absolutely certain that we have a striker incoming before Thursday. The OTIB meltdown will once again be a thing of the past. Yes and why are they spending a reported 8 mil on a 18 year mid fielder who has never played in England, when we need a proven goal scorer. I thought the policy was that a 18 year old was one for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the policy was that a 18 year old was one for the future! I don’t think the two necessarily connect. If we were buying an 18 year old midfielder instead of a striker I would agree but it sounds like we’re after a few players. I don’t know a lot about Massengo but, if he is good enough, then I don’t care how old he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Leeds were top class - still, one home win since February 12th is a bit concerning - and, yes, this is a bit tongue in cheek - I’ve never really seen the point of stats overlapping differing seasons ... but even so ....
