Easiest 45 mins Leeds will have all season.

They will be gutted they haven’t scored 3

We're approaching the game like we're relegation candidates.

We are

 

[Matt smith]

We're approaching the game like we're relegation candidates.

That’s because we are relegation candidates

‘premier league package’

 

[fernandopartridge]

This is mostly our first choice line up and we just look miles off, no intensity, no relationships, no organisation. Simms a waste of space offering us nothing. The players just don't look up for it.

 

[ptr]

I didn’t expect much today but we can’t get hold of the ball. Again, Rudoni needs to drop in and make a three in the middle. He has hardly touched the ball, one of our best players…

 

[shmmeee]

At least we stopped the rot a bit, only one down. But fuck me that’s poor. Hope that was our bad half and not our good one.

 

[jordan210]

Got to try something completely different at half time.

We cant pass, cant tackle cant win second ball

 

[Major Tom]

Rudoni isn't a number 10. Somebody tell robins ffs

He was brought as a O’Hare replacement to work in a free role .. just needs a decent midfield to work with him .. which we haven’t got

 

[clint van damme]

Only bright spot was I neatly watched the game sober but luckily the missus got in from work and cracked open a bottle of wine, I won't be making that mistake again.

 

[TomRad85]

My piss is starting to boil watching us atm. What are we even trying to do?

Utter dog shit that.

 

[Evo1883]

A largely poor half , Leeds good .

Ellis simms is a problem in that he offers next to nothing almost every match not in terms of hold up or serious work rate , and our right hand side today is a shambles

 

[Mr Panda]

Only positive is that it’s only a goal in it

 

[bigfatronssba]

Got to change the shape at HT. It isn’t as bad as on here would have you believe. OK, we’ve not been great. But it’s only 1-0

It’s been awful. I see zero fight

This team doesn’t care

 

[Skyblue in Baku]

Half Time and nothing changes apart from the personnel.

 

[larry_david]

Only 1-0
Their fans will get on at them, they always do
Sheaf is unfit but who gives a shit. He needs to get fitness and as long as he doesn't get injured, he has to play
Thomas and kitching need to start from now on
No more fucking about with the back line
We WILL have a spell in this game. And when it comes we have to take it

 

[clint van damme]

New manager before the international break?

Behave

 

[Nick]

If we want to get anything. He needs to put basette on with Simms or Wright.

This system just doesn't work, whatever the plan is doesn't work.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Just about the only positive from that is that we're only one goal down. We didn't lay a glove on them.

We can't come out second half having not changed anything. We'll get slaughtered. Massive half time team talk needed, because whatever plan we've gone out with has failed spectacularly.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I'd take the 1-0 now, GD is going to be important when we're fighting relegation.

People worked with dabo.

Right , and football injuries happen and re occur ? We have more staff than ever if he's passed fit then they must know he's fit

 

[Sick Boy]

They look like they don't give a shit.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

is anybody who has been calling for Kitching over Binks still of the same opinion?

he’s been shocking today, passes everywhere other than to our players, and looks a tackle away from a red card the whole first half

by the way, Ben Wilson has had a very good half, thank God - other than the goal

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Think I’d have preferred to have my eyes lanced with a hypodermic needle than watch any more of this.

This is not what I should be expected to pay money for, as a fan. It’s frighteningly bad. The warning signs are all there: no leadership, no team spirit, no cohesion, zero tactical efficiency, basics being done wrong, can’t pass, can’t supply the attackers…

Something is fundamentally wrong, here.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

0.62 xg hardly blowing us away

Simms looks wank let's be honest

 

[stupot07]

That is as poor as a half you'll ever see.

62% : 38% Possession
10. : 0 shots
6. : 0 shots on target
7. : 0 corners

We look miles off it, in every department.

 

[im-confused]

The most annoying thing for me is that we know our players are very capable and can do great things on their day..

 

[lewys33]

What I would *like* to see …

Sheaf off. Torp on but drop Rudoni back.
Simms off. Bassette on.
Thomas/Lati off. Haji on. EMC to the right wing, drop MVE back and Haji left wing.

I know Haji deserved to lose his place but desperately need to try something different.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Who’s the New Zealand sounding coms he is a moron

I think it's Tony Dorigo

 

[Evo1883]

0.62 xg hardly blowing us away

No they aren't Pete but we're not offering anything in return .. it's OK defending semi well but today we've had 0 shots at 45

 

[TomRad85]

0.62 xg hardly blowing us away

Fucking hell are you serious?

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

We might be shit but we haven't been anywhere near as wasteful in front of goal as Leeds

 

[procdoc]

so what is it today then? Lack of effort? Lack of movement? No team spirit? No fight? It has been a depressing read on this thread to be honest

 

[steve101]

Don't think I have seen our passing from our centre backs being so poor. So fortunate Leeds haven't made more of it.
I have not seen another team in the Championship that looks so tactically unsure. How are we letting Ngonto turn every time?
