Good Morning Everyone The stats now read 5 losses from 7 games - The saving grace is, teams around us are also dropping points. Preston lost at home, conceding 3 to Brentford Wolves lost at QPR Millwall held by Cardiff. Are we going to see the closest Championship table in years? What can be changed before January? It is obvious that we have a problem at left back - Berardi Borthwick-Jackson and Anita have all tried, and failed. What about playing Dallas at left back? Should Grot and Cibicki start a few games, to show what they can bring to the party? If you could click your fingers, and have Green back, would you? Is the GK position one of our weaker areas, or are there other positions on the pitch we need to concentrate on? Perhaps midfield? Great goal by Phillips on Friday night, but is it only his goals that are keeping him in the side? Has Viera made a difference since coming back? Does Alioski do enough? Anybody else impressed by Billy Sharp, ran, bustled and made a nuisance of himself all evening- I would have been proud of him if he had been wearing a Leeds shirt. When was the last time we saw a Leeds forward do that? Lasogga (6 years younger than Sharp) was less mobile than WJ. Who noticed he pulled out of challenging for a headed ball in the penalty box 10 mins or so from time due to two hustling blades defenders - Is that the kind of player we need in the Championship?
Good Morning Matt from a very icey Bardsey Wenever saw Billy like this the reason he has a proper manager infact I would say I think Wilder is the tops and I would bet on Sheff getting promotion Lasonga needs support then we will see how good he is remember when Woods came the usual moaners were on his back straight away .Well he proved them wrong! Lonegren was outstanding so I have no worries about him replacing and ageing Green We need a left back a speedy tricky winger they are out there look at David Brooks the other night a loanee from City I believe The boy Barnsley had from Liverpool could fit the bill too Viera will get fitter and better Grot and Cibricki are not ready for this league work in progress so we need to have someone ready in January
It's all just a hot mess. I can't even be bothered to figure out what has gone wrong. There is no fighting spirit. 5 losses in 7? Jesus christ.
Echo what Leeds 60 says about Lassoga he needs support, he also needs killer balls to get onto to but it seems Samu and especially Alioski are trying for a worldy before attempting a pass.. When Lassoga arrived he was given balls to run onto and he scored 2 goals, he got a great ball from Alioski for his 2nd. We need to see that Alioski not this latest version that ends up on the deck or we may as well have Aidy White back ffs We need to press teams like we did against Bristol, it rattles them, stops them getting in the game. How do you think we have been beaten this season? teams have not let us settle on the ball, have been in our faces and we've been found lacking Good shout about Dallas at left back, why not Viera is young he was MOM for me against Bristol, not the same player on Saturday so for me we need 3 DMs and we have for so should rotate them as Phillips and O'Kane need a rest. Klich needs to play in this rotation system and we even have Anita so that could be 5 DMs Anyone know the cnut who was shouting at Billy Sharpe: At least Lassogas kid was born alive????
I assumed Brookes came thru the blunts academy. He was definitely a Different Class tho he looked like he should have been at school
Morning talk, you are definitely right when you say Leeds need to press teams more. Unfortunately more times than not we seem lethargic and are unable to keep our foot on the accelerator
We didnt win a second ball against the blunts but we won almost every second ball against Bristol so not rocket science, just look at Viera's performance against Bristol he won everything bossed the middle, ran through and around players. He was at it, and yet nobody was at it on Friday
I really like viera, but Friday was a reminder he blows hot and cold. It was a poor team performance but he was terrible. This team seems to get rattled when it concedes. Feels like we need a leader, preferable more than one out there. It’s a reminder also how important a settled centre half pairing is. Pennington had a shocker. Alioski can’t cope with the tight physical marking he’s getting... maybe he’ll adjust, maybe not. The failure to put the wood money to better use... or to any use really, is killing us. We have a stack of players for the future who may or may not pay off down the line. We’re short of players who can deliver right now. Let’s hope a proven centre mid and left footed dedicated left back as a minimum are on the January shopping list. A striker who can hold the ball up in this league would’ve handy too.
I have not got a clue what’s wrong We obviously have some good players One thing I’ve noticed is we don’t have much ability to destroy defences by attacking them wide. Would be good to have someone who could get past people 1 on 1. Alioski can’t
Simon Grayson has taken Sunderland to second from bottom in the championship. I am amazed he has not been sacked yet
