Better Red Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Just now, Superjack said: Jam tomorrow. Maybe. But sooner or later if we keep progressing. I think this ‘squad’ gives us that platform to make the next step. Its down to the signings in the summer and Manning. But we do need to add quality not quantity and that is what hopefully improves into a top 6 side Quote Link to comment

We were torn apart tonight by an average Leeds team. Where do we go from here Northern Red? I honestly despair with the likes of you. Silly boy. That is not an average Leeds team, anyone that finishes above them will be promoted this season, simple as that. Apart from that “silly” statement you’re right about the form and being torn apart.

Won’t talk too much about the game, first 15 minutes you pressed us, looked dangerous, got in behind a couple of times and I was concerned for the night ahead, ended up that was it bar one chance, feel we should have been 3/4 up within 60 minutes, awful finishing and your defence was all over the place. Main point I’ll make sat in E34 Dolman next to the away fans, filled with 18-25 year olds (good you’d think) loads of fans for the future, most of them probably watched a total of 65 minutes, on their phones just talking to each other, no contribution to atmosphere even during your bright start, up and down to go to the toilet probably 3/4 times, selfies etc. i was very surprised at the atmosphere, it was as poor as the football. Obvious Jimmy Saville chants which Leeds fans replied with MOT. 2 minutes applause impeccable Don’t see you getting anywhere near the playoffs based on that, disjointed, no fight, no plan, little pace. I thought your MoM was your keeper. Pretty much spot on Spazza 2 Quote Link to comment

Full nelson Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 What did you all expect? Leeds like many other clubs are better than ours. We're a bottom 3rd championship side with a top six boardroom (league 1) who'll will take us to league one before we achieve a playoff spot. 1 Quote Link to comment
Akira Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 9 minutes ago, Better Red said: The squad is probably best we have had in terms of competition but lacks a sprinkle of magic that all promotion teams need. Pearson started it and now it needs 2 or 3 quality signings to add to it and I think we will be closer to the top 6 than we have been in a long time. We are having more control in games tonight aside than we have had a long time. You can see the pattern of play and a plan. Its not quiet there I except but I honestly think we are getting closer to being a top 6 team. We are closing the gap to the Coventrys, Watfords etc.. I think we can go and win at these teams when we have everyone fit. We won’t do it this year but next year with the 2 or 3 signings I think we can give it a genuine go. It's always next year though ain't it... 3 Quote Link to comment

Body language was very clear that he’s ****** right off. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Apart from that “silly” statement you’re right about the form and being torn apart. It’s an average Leeds team. They were made to look world class by a dreadful City team set up by a clueless coach. If they were in the prem I’d wager they’d be in the bottom two. Look at how useless they were in front of goal given the amount of chances created. I wouldn’t wait any longer I’d pull the trigger on Manning tonight and give Andy King a go until the end of the season. Or would that just be ‘silly’?! 1 Quote Link to comment

Jimbo76 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Really surprised by some of the comments on various threads tonight. We lost 1-0 to a team that are basically a premier League team and will be again next season. If we play well against West Ham or Forest and then have an inferior performance, it's not because we have a bad team, it's because we don't have a strong squad. Leeds can bring players off the bench that we couldn't buy for the first team. Key injuries plus 7 games in 3 weeks, or whatever it is, means our lack of squad depth is exposed. The likes of Williams, James, even Pring, can't play at the required intensity in so many games. For me, it was most evident in the back 3 tonight. All 3 making so many errors despite high praise recently. Bottom line, they have to play every game because we have no choice. But the result is inevitable. I have no criticism of Manning or the players. Our current squad lacks the quality in depth to have sufficient rotation and to play quick succession matches at the required tempo. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

What has changed since we ran them close at their place? We made a bog standard Leeds team look like Real Madrid tonight. I’m actually surprised by how poor this league is this year given the big clubs involved. I just can’t see a way back for Manning after tonight. Quote Link to comment
