we were Battered played of the park from start to finish. Why Maggs did not start over Heglar. Why did the lad from Fulham start over Dido. Only Joe Bryan can come out of that game with credit. Leeds for me bossed the game,controlled the game,made it look like men against boys. Best side at the gate this season. 1 loss in 12 no panic,but the manner of the loss In concerning. Our midfield was non existent,needs addressing in the Jan window.
Weaknesses exposed all over the park today and we need to step up in training because it won't get any better by crying over some spilled milk. A little niggle I have is why does Diediou continue to push defenders in the back and give up stupid free-kicks when we are in a very forward position?
I wasn't able to go today , but it was bound to happen eventually, maybe because I wasn't there to witness the defeat , but I'm still very positive , surprisingly . I'm still of the opinion just above mid table would represent success this season and am still happy we will achieve it .
Never got going from the start then gifted them 2 goals. Difficult to pick anybody out as having a decent game. For me Woodrow was a waste of space, so light weight up front. Fulham fans said he was rubbish and they were right.
Starting Woodrow over Taylor and Fammy was a big mistake, don't really rate the lad, the other two are better, really missed pato, Smith and Baker today.
100% agree with all the above TOM,why is it we can see it,yet the manager does not. Should have changed it at half time.
Red Robin is turning you can tell by his tone, one more bad result and he will be back with the LJ out banners and threads..... followed by some good results and life will be good again, he has more faces than a rubics cube!!
Shocking defending all round. We're going to need a 100% improvement in effort and quality to come anywhere near Palace on Tuesday.
Strangely for me the defeat has made me realise the opposite, I am more pro Johnson than I thought, you are always going to have days like yesterday and I actually believe as a team and a club we are progressing , which is really all you can hope for . I think it was just a bad day at the office. As RR said how we react may well be the key may be a defining moment to our season . As for team selection , LJ sees training we don't , Woodrow played well against Derby, and I guess he thought his style was more suited to Leeds than dido's . We just have to put yesterday behind us and move on as a team and as supporters.
I would have put Maggs in the centre alongside Flint, and played Heglar in Smith's role At least he got it right with Leko. We seem to have lost something during the International break. Please can we have our mojo back...
Bryan seems to be out of sorts too. Much better when he is overlapping and getting to the bye line- Seems reluctant to come out of his own half- Am guessing he is playing to instructions
