Some of them aren't too bad on paper, some have developed since but when you have injuries, behind closed doors, downward spiral and a rookie manager losing his way..it's such a combination! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will forever make my shit itch that we gambled on LJ rather than NP or some other such experienced promotion expert, let him spunk the Lansdown Trust Fund up the wall, and now we've had to bring in a serious football man to recover the situation. Imagine what Pearson could've done with all the millions we've wasted on dross over the years!? Or with the calibre of players that were actually in that team I posted above - like you say, a lot of them weren't bad players. Poorly deployed by an inexperienced manager, absolutely. But I can't help but feel like some of our best sides during the LJ era, had a Hughton(I remember the clamour at the time!)/Pearson type been in charge, would've comfortably seen us in the playoffs. I know the Lansdown mismanagement chat is boring on OTIB now but **** me, what was he thinking giving Ashton - chancer, horrid track record and LJ - League 1 manager all that cash to burn???

We never win these type of games or get a draw when other clubs do. Look at Ipswich……sorry but treading water again with the worst keeper we’ve had in 20 years plus. ‘Worst keeper we’ve had in 20 years plus’ doesn’t let many goals in does he.

The Leeds fans I was with were pretty scathing about us, they aren’t the types who post on forums or social media. Just a real lack of quality was their opinion, set pieces and long balls over the full backs from our defenders was all we had. They also found it hilarious that our number 9 main striker was taking long throws. The gulf was huge, we huffed and puffed but realistically, as Farke said, it should’ve been a drubbing….. I thought we were outclassed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were outclassed. We were outclassed, just like Leicester, but also many of their fans commented that we also didn’t just come to defend and that we gave it a go. Not having a go at you, but so what if Cornick takes long throws, we e scored twice from them this season. Imagine a Stoke RB (Delap) taking throws on the left wing? Sounds like “football snobbery” to me from Leeds fans. It really isn’t a surprise. We were far from full-strength either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues with the cornick throws at all, they thought it was embarrassing, I think there was an element of big club syndrome with their comments etc. Edited October 23, 2023 by Gabriella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
