bcfc01 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Two up front, overrun in midfield. Hopefully sorted out at HT. 3 Quote Link to comment

Non attending season tickets holders need to get kicked out Why would the club kick out paying customers? Like they could kick them out and then the seat doesn't sell and then it's not even creating income. Quote Link to comment

Crackers Corner Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 You would think there has to be a reaction 2nd half as that was awful, fair play to max. 1 Quote Link to comment
Numero Uno Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Forget the score. Jon and Sid now know what top end looks like. Totally outplayed so far. 2 Quote Link to comment
The turtle Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 4 minutes ago, Engvall’s Splinter said: This is a tough watch. We are miles off. I can’t work out as to whether Leeds are decent, or the amount of time and space we are affording them is making them better than what they are. Back 3 collectively are all over the shop. Ball retention is poor with many an unforced error putting us back under pressure. I’d like to see something more and of credibility from McCrorie. Leeds are showing the levels needed to play this kind of football. And the money required to be very very good at it They've also showed what happens when you aren't clinical. As the end of the half showed, We are still in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment

22A Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Half time thoughts. Is it my imagination or are the Leeds players, man for man, faster than ours? Why are so many City passes going astray? City do seem to have picked up for the last 10 mins of that first half. 1 Quote Link to comment

winsaw Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Great to see our League 1 keeper having a blinder tonight, we would easily be 4 down without Max tonight, No idea what's happened to the rest the team all seam off the pace, Tanner and Zak are having there worst games of the season , lot of work to do at half time 6 Quote Link to comment

Jerseybean Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Just now, Better Red said: MoM so far Only reason we are not 2 down Yep, spot on. Only one team in it in the first half the main positive being its 0-0, as you say largely thanks to Max. Fearful that if this continues we are going to concede, need to change things, Conway hasn’t seen much of the ball we need to find a way of getting him into the game. 1 Quote Link to comment
Banjo Island Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Well that was not very good nothing going forward and very unconvincing at the back Quote Link to comment

Northern Red Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 They're a better team than us, there's no disgrace in that given the difference in resources, but we really aren't helping ourselves. 7 Quote Link to comment

Non attending season tickets holders need to get kicked out I suspect you won’t have that problem for Rotherham…. A sell back option might be a good idea to implement, but would that be cost effective to introduce for 3 or 4 games a season? A mate has a season ticket for him and his son at WHU. He can upgrade the son’s ticket to an adult ticket for the midweek school night games that his son does not go to, but then they’re getting 40000 a week and not 22000. Quote Link to comment
hertsexile Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 In Max we trust excellent tonight so far. He is one of our own Quote Link to comment
Better Red Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Leeds are going back up either with Leicester or in the playoff. Such a big gap to the relegated sides. Quote Link to comment
RollsRoyce Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Leeds look a good side, and of course, are at the top end of the form league and confident, we are at the bottom and it shows, hesitant and lacking fluidity. But, we are not losing, have not conceded. Some adjustments are needed to the set up at half time, and it is very much all to play for. Leeds may have been better, but they have not scored due to some great work by Max. We have seen before, if you do not take your chances it can cost you. So all to play for. Ground looks empty for a sell out. 1 Quote Link to comment
CityCiderEd Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Our passing tonight has been bloody abysmal. Wells no longer has the legs to get away from his marker and we're just so pedestrian in midfield. Defensively poor tonight and have MoL to thank for going in level. Big shake up at ht needed. 3 Quote Link to comment

And the money required to be very very good at it It's important to remember though that to get promoted, or to finish top 6, you don't actually have to be as good as Leeds or Leicester. You just have to be as good as Hull, West Brom, Sunderland this season. Leeds are pressing fast and consistently, which forces us to make fast passes, and so increases the chance of us making errors. They're then incredible in transition which allows them to turn those mistakes into attacks. It's hard to watch but we don't have to get to this level next season to stand a chance of a top 6 finish. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
The turtle Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 1 minute ago, The turtle said: Well that was fun. The good old lull them in with 0 shots on target, let them get too comfy. Football works in funny ways, we could easily still win this, but in that 45 challenging for the playoffs looked rather laughable. Quote Link to comment
Spike Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Watching back that penalty call, I'd have to say we're very lucky not to have given away that penalty. What's frustrating is seeing how easily they are stringing passes together in our area. Our biggest issue is that we can't hold onto the ball without going backwards and Leeds have pace so they are closing down fast forcing us to lose the ball, essentially they're using our own tactics against us but doing it a lot more effectively. I know our fans want a front two but it seems pointless when we can't even get the ball up the pitch, I'd much rather see us have a 5 and get a hold of the ball in the second half. 1 Quote Link to comment
