Leeds ratings (3 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

Key word being “barely”.

They had 76% possession in the 2nd half. We had one shot and scored. Not sure how you can really argue against my comment to be honest.

Another potential serial killer

Torp at times looks like and u7 player who is scared of getting stuck in, worries me a bit. The talent is in there hopefully Robins can sort that out.

And another

 

[Johhny Blue]

Collins 6
MVE 7
Thomas 7
Kitching 7
Bidwell 9
Eccles 9
Sheaf 6
O’Hare 6
Palmer 4
Wright 7
Simms 8

WTF does Thomas need to do to get higher than a 7?

 

[Johhny Blue]

We barely touched the ball for 45 minutes. Do you think all these ratings would be the same if they had scored that chance at the end? Of course they wouldn’t.

You do understand there’s a huge difference between “possession” and “penetration” ?
P.S. hope you don’t have a girlfriend

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

apart from that glorious chance towards the end. And if they had scored that (which they should), the ratings on here would be a lot different.

But they didn't and they aren't

Based on previous player development there's a very good chance that he will

 

[OldBedrocker]

Simms was a beast. Suddenly become a nasty bastard must be awful to deal with as a centre half

 

[Tomh111]

Thought Bidwell was incredible, I was petrified pf him vs James - given the pace James has.

Thought he played brilliantly and kept him largely out the game, with one of the best clearances you'll ever see to top it off.

To a man today, they were all very good, but he was superb.

But we let them get through and they should have scored. We also failed to string together more than 5 passes in the second half. Their playing fucking up a brilliant chance should not mean our player ratings are a couple of points higher

We also got through on a number occasions and should have scored

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

In the second half? Apart from the goal, when?

Mve cross not long after
Simms and wright both had efforts

He only really got beaten for pace a couple of times early on by James then dealt with him superbly.

Was more difficult for him when Gnonto came on, but considering he’d already played 3/4 of a game and then was coming up against 20 million pound fresh legs, he again did really well.

His last ditch defending and decision making in particular were brilliant.

His best game for us.

Lovely bit of play between Wright and Simms ahead of that chance, was great to see Wright winning alot in the air yesterday.

 

[covboy9]

My ratings wouldn’t of changed if equaliser had gone in, we beat a better team or we drew a better team it makes no difference the team played really well

 

[covboy9]

Some absolute morons on here

 

[Grendel]

Agree with all. Just an incredible team performance.

Wright looked like a different player physically today… won headers and showed strength and heart.

If we do miss the playoffs, it’s still been a heck of a season with some memorable days with today just pipping Leicester for me.

The biggest revelation on Wright was how he helped defensively in the second half.

Not something that natural to him.

excellent technique for the goal as well

 

[Grendel]

Eccles said Wright could seem lazy in his post-match interview with CWR! Almost burst out laughing when he said that.

Yes that was funny

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yes that was funny

He’s racist lol

 

[Kevin McGuire]

For me looking from afar Bidwell and Eccles both top class today.

Familiarise yourself with the concept of game state.

At 2-0, we could afford to dig in defensively. When you score as early as we had done in both halves, it changes the way you play.

 

[Grendel]

Looking back at it Bidwells headed clearance was ridiculous- how did he manage it?

Hope he shows Kitching how to do it

 

[steve cooper]

It would have been an easy tap-in as well.

Superb. As good as you will see. As important as a goal

Incredible, it was as important as a goal as was ultimately the match winning contribution.

It is sensational the best piece of defensive play I have ever witnessed

 

[Nick]

I didn't realise how good it was and that it was going in until I saw the replay.

Changed my motm to him.

 

[fernandopartridge]

As well as that Bidwell made one brilliant header away from a set piece I'm sure, he's a very good defender

I was just thinking the same should get 10 just for that header how did he manage to get it and direct it away sensational.

Never particularly understood that.

"What we're doing is clearly working well, so let's change it."

If the opposition make tactical changes then sure, have a rethink but just going more defensive because you've got a lead to protect to me seems like asking for trouble. If anything the change would be bring on pace as they'll be pushing to score and there should be gaps to exploit on the break.

The game plan worked perfectly yesterday. We scored both our goals on the counter yesterday and even at 2-1 we had opportunities to hit them on the counter. Cardiff did more or less the exact same to us on Monday.

Leeds were dominant in possession and that suited us and the way we play our best football.

Well, we got the result but it definitely felt like we were more likely to concede after we made changes and went more defensive. Some better finishing and they'd have drawn level.

We were never really ‘on top’, we kept them at arms lengths and limited them to half chances really. At 2-1 when Leeds were knocking at the door, the thought slipped in that a draw would be a good result even if we were to concede.

We were playing a team that is a lot better than us and could call upon players like Gnotto from the bench. The only we could freshen things up was by bringing on defensively minded players like Lati, JDS and Torp.

This was Leeds first league loss of 2024.

Did he follow it up with a comment on Lats Lunchbox?
