transfer reader Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 2 minutes ago, Better Red said: MoM so far Only reason we are not 2 down Only because the rest have been incredibly poor. Leeds have had 6 shots. 2 off target, 1 blocked. One of the saves was right at him, the other was a very good bit of reactions, but very fortunate for the ball to bounce over the bar from that position and was also right at him. The other save I genuinely don't remember- in fact it just came up in the highlights and guess what... it was straight at him. I realise this won't go down well with his fan club who can't bare anything other than effusive praise for him, but saying the shots were at him isn't a knock on Max (though it will probably be claimed as such), it's the reality of them. He's done all he needs to do right, and so is doing well, but the reason Leeds aren't ahead is down to poor finishing rather than good goalkeeping. 1 Quote Link to comment
George Rs Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Only having 2 in midfield has cost us so far, especially with the Leeds players being a step quicker across the pitch. Summerville on tanners heels the whole half and it nearly cost us. Feel like we need 3 in the middle just to gain some control, thought knight and Mccrorie have both done well. Spun their man a couple of times but there’s no support whenever they go forward. LM needs to change something, wonder what he’ll do! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
old_eastender Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 We have to change something, our midfield is just being overrun. Perhaps TGH on for Tanner, to to a back 4 with McCrorie RB. Perhaps Mehmeti on the left to team up with Pring to give Leeds something to think about. Quote Link to comment
Better Red Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Manning needs to come up with some change at half time otherwise it’s only going way. Need something to change in formation. Maybe bring on Cornick (cant believe I am saying it) and go long down the side and hope for a bit of luck with a flick on for Conway. Not easy against a team that are clearly better than us in almost every position. Quote Link to comment

Yep, error strewn! Our confidence seemed to go after about 5 minutes. I'd take a point! 1 Quote Link to comment
ProfitInMyPocket Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) We still got the patterns and behaviours so we'll be alright. They're pressing us man for man at every opportunity and we're not being brave enough on the ball to ride the challenge and play positively. Think every player has had the ball pinched off them. That Firpo is a liability defensively and the one time we got at him we won a freekick. We are frightened they are going to get caught out but if we don't step up they'll eventually take a chance.

We've got the same three players in the centre of the pitch as we have alllllllll season. We have less players out wide Quote Link to comment
transfer reader Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 4 minutes ago, RollsRoyce said: 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. Leeds aren't ahead because of appalling finishing. 1 Quote Link to comment

He is one of our own Having a good game thus far, too inconsistent for my liking however. No shame in holding a very good Leeds team to a draw at HT, id take a point at full time.

W-S-M Seagull Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) Pring is finding himself in plenty of space on the left when we have the ball on the right but we're failing to get the ball over to him. Need to switch the ball to move the players about the pitch. We're too one dimensional. Edited February 2 by W-S-M Seagull Quote Link to comment

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I don't see all the games but that is the worst performance I have seen in the 1st half for a while. We are not better than them at anything so far. Very, very lucky to be level. I am normally very optimistic but we look very leggy as I feared due to cup games and replays. Leeds are good but we are making it easy for them. Quote Link to comment

In fairness to Max not just because the rest have struggled. He has done well. I was the one who said I was a Anti -Maxer when was Max was playing during covid and I have to say he is proving me wrong more and more each week. Quote Link to comment

So what you are saying is he got his positioning perfect so he was in the perfect place to make the save look easy , just shows what a good keeper he's become, Quote Link to comment
bcfc01 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 1 minute ago, The turtle said: 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. We've made it very easy for Leeds, we should be behind and lucky we aren't. Manning rightfully looks annoyed, can't string two passes together. Outnumbered in midfield, Vyner and Tanner awful. Down to Manning now to regroup, make changes, and get at them second half. Quote Link to comment

I was the one who said I was a Anti -Maxer when was Max was playing during covid and I have to say he is proving me wrong more and more each week. Every single shot has been right at him. He's done nothing wrong, but it's not been an outstanding performance by any stretch. His most difficult to make save was also with a huge slice of luck. Again, that's not a knock on him as he had good reactions and did what was needed, but for the ball to bounce over the bar from that position is a huge slice of good fortune. And the shot was another one right at him. Quote Link to comment
