Optimism is one thing. Delusional clap trap is something else.
Our tactics were ****e and the players were not up for a battle. This is the championship and nearly every game is a battle!

good post m8ty more truth in your 2 lines than silly bollox wrote in a whole book up there
Great cast.....
We had 3500 at the beamback on saturday.burnley are on the screen as well.if we keep doing well just how many would want to attend at elland rd.would we need to open another stand.great bit of business by the club.
If we don't perform tomorrow they would be lucky to get 350 for the next one.
I think it all looks a bit like desperately trying to cash in before the bubble bursts if I am honest.
He will only get away with not delivering once. There are not many billies prepared to blindly follow!
Only way i can judge is watching on saturday.i hope to come away saturday a happy chappy.first chance to see lassoga without the aid of tv.
Christ! Who's doing the commentaries for you these days - Stevie Wonder? FFS, do you understand anything about football? Do you actually understand why Anita had a stinker? Was it the whole game or a specific part or parts? Or are you just copying uninformed remarks from your tosh NN articles? Go on then - explain exactly where Anita went wrong, how long it lasted for, and what Bera would do to counter it? I'm dying to hear. Let the education begin ....Agree with most of what you say Doc,
The way we were travelling it was only a matter of time when some teams will be looking at how to stop us. I'm not convinced Millwall did what was necessary to stop us, what helped them was the dismall way we played, after all, it took'em 73 minutes to break our defence, who, like every player was having an unusual bad game.
I think Ristac hit nail on head when he said it's a bit unusual to have the whole team (Weinwald probably an exception) having an off day, no one shined, and we managed one shot all game; let's be honest, based on how we attacked, shot and scored in previous games, it was very very unusual, and attracts a somewhat big question mark??????
With the whole team having an off day brings it back to team selection and tactics, there's not much else unless tea lady has been told to put bromide in tea.
Team selection, TC said he knew what to expect, but didn't pick the team to try and combat what he said he was expecting. Berardi should've been in from start, this was the type of game he thrives on; Anita, at the very least should've been off at half time, he was being taken apart and given the run around by the Mllwall winger.
We lost it in midfield, Millwall controlled it, Vieira and Klich would've been a better selection imo, we desperately needed Klich's special defence splitting passes, cos the other players passes were way off the mark.although hard to pick before hand, Phillips shouldn't have started, not strong enough for a Millwall game, he was playing the same game as Millwall most of time, hoofball, he was out jumped and his passing was well below par. O'Kane just seemed to be scared to do anything.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Pontus seems to be playing a different game to the way he played last season, he doesn't seem to be the "up and at'em, " player he was last season. He reminds me of the BA Baracus character in the new A Team film after he found God; let's hope he wakes up like B A did.
Tactics, what were the tactics, team selection is part of tactics, and so is how we play the game, there didn't seem to be any tactics, or, the players were given different instructions, we had one anywhere bound shot all game, way way way off par for us, just looked like we were trying to walk it into net, like last season.
I think TC got the subbing wrong imo, midfield is where it needed strengthening and changing, as well as at LB, Berardi must've been chomping at bit to get on pitch.
Let's all hope the embarrassment shakes all the players up and TC has learned a lot.
Alioski has played a lot of games, close together the last few weeks, two over the International break, Saiz has played virtually every game, twice a week, with only the break as a rest period, same for Hernandez. I agree with Ristac, a bit harsh pointing the finger at them when the whole team played like a bunch of granny's on Lucozade.
Not impressed with Grot at moment, granted he's come off bench late in games, but he hasn't done nothing to make anyone stand up and take notice.
I agree Doc, I think TC will play a strong first eleven against Burnley, not only for the reasons you gave, for players to redeem themselves, but for TC to also redeem himself and show his worth. Psychologically, a loss can have a devastating effect on players and team, like it did after Monks atrocious Sutton game. Two losses on trot will not be a confidence booster or be a spirit raiser going in against Ipswich, and Ipswich will do their homework on our game against Millwall.
With a strong first eleven, with maybe two changes in midfield, and one at LB, I reckon we can beat Burnley 2-1 or 3-1, providing we get back to the way we played our previous games, before Millwall. We're on top at moment, and we need to stay on top.......I'm going to have a beer, which I just nicked off Shaks......ssssshhhhhh, don't tell him.....
Oh, and please give examples of Klich's defence-splitting passes. I've obviously missed them.
And finally, you clearly have never seen Phillips, far less met him. It's between him & Bera as our hard man. In fact, it's prolly a draw there, but Phillips gets away with it better. Brick outhouse & dirty barsteward doesn't begin to describe him. Oh, and it's clearly passed you by that he's currently our top scorer in the league. But why let facts get in the way of an irrational, inaccurate, childlike rant?
That's my team you're slagging, btw, and I don't like it. If there was justification, I'd have to keep my trap shut. But there isn't. You're just beginning to compile this season's hate list now that Wood, Monk & Green have left, aren't you? What a sad, sad life you must lead.
Feel the same way.
Being superstitious, over recent weeks I couldn't go even if I had been able to until we had lost a game.
Staying away was proving very lucky.
Now I fear I might have missed the best part of the season....
Time will tell.
I agree about phillips being tough .i dont hate him or anita they are both part of the squad and its the coach who picks the team.
you do talk crap
which is it
wrong selections ?
wrong tactics ?
everyone had an off day ?
we out played you FACT
we out muscled you FACT
we out classed you FACT
NOT JUST FOR 20 MINS
NOT JUST FOR 60 MINS
NOT JUST FOR 89 MINS
BUT FOR THE WHOLE 90 MINS
As if......

What do you base your praise of Klich on, he's hardly played anymore than Grot has?
****ing hell chippy, talk about overreact to one defeat (even if it was to an embarrassment of a football club).
The comment is more in relation to beaming back pointless games, especially where we dont perform.
Losing to wall in the gutless manner we did is pretty ****. Hopefully it will be adressed but our lack of grit is a concern.
Lack of grit? That's the first goal, which incidentally was offside, we've let in for over 500 minutes of football. Suggests to me we can dig in when necessary.
We could have conceeded three or four and would not have scored if we were still playing now.
We were outfought and thats got to be a concern....
Thinking more good lawyer myself, after all she probably didn't sign up because of his movie-star looks and the gravy train is puffing laboriously toward the final sidings now....
He does not need to hañg on anyones shirt tails.whCarefull on the insults Mighty, you'll have Jock hanging of your shirt tails.....
Jock is a fan who goes to games.think anout it dimwitCarefull on the insults Mighty, you'll have Jock hanging of your shirt tails.....
My biggest goncern is that a good point.wecwere set up wrong no grit and too many flair players.pablo is not suited for these games.
