Dovin has played two friendlies where the attendances were 200 and 100, so those who were comparing it to playing at elland road in the championship are a little way off the mark. Have seen people using that argument earlier in the thread.
He played in front of a crowd of 26k every week last season

How are friendlies relevant?

Is it me or does Farke make shit comments about us every time we play them? He’s a dick
It's part of the game for foreign managers and British one's tbf, he'll have enjoyed that after we whipped them last season, it's something that Squeaky Robin's doesn't get involved in or his team's unfortunately, but probably should in all truth!

How many of our players would you want next to you if you were in a fight? The list isn't very long is it.

If Dovin hasn't kept a clean sheet in any game, I don't see why he's allowed to get away with it 'because it wasn't his fault', but in this game suddenly it is all on Wilson. Wilson maybe could have done better for one or two, not disputing that, but it is pretty short sighted not to break down what happened for the goals beforehand, because it is fucking shite from end to end. It has been like this most games, and the goalkeeper is just a bit of a personality and preference thing in my opinion. There isn't as much in it as some people are making out, with what's going on throughout the rest of the pitch being a much bigger concern.

On pretty much every occasion their players are more keen to get forward than our midfield is to track and close them down. Their players are goal side of our own midfield, with Sheaf strolling back for the first, and both him and Eccles doing it for the second. DaSilva gone to buy a hotdog for the third. You've then got the rest of defence who have no idea where each other are, and are too slow and unreactive to deal with Leeds. It was like a training exercise for them against their under-21s or something.

Pathetic application and effort all round.

The frightening thing should be that a very similar team showed far more determination to secure a point in this fixture last season. We were under pressure for sure but it was a much more battling performance.

What I’ve seen just from extended highlights was very troubling.

Can’t disagree with that. Only player I might give some credit to is Sheaf since he was clearly not fit to start.

He was fit to start. Maybe not completely sharp, but qualified enough to be on the pitch and not help gift them goals. He seems to get away with a lot and people are making excuses for him in my opinion. He's supposed to be the captain, but his cameos recently have been below par.
