Listening to the commentary it sounds like we were the better side and losing a 2 goal lead isn't brilliant. Hopefully we can find the winning form this weekend again after 3 draws. Still not losing to Leeds all good there
I look at games in threes, reading away, qpr home, Leeds home. Unbeaten so can't grumble too much although we may feel we should've seen out victory
yeah happy we've got the points against a decent team, but still feel we had the game in a winning position and let it slide. UTT
Did their 2nd goal definately go in, said that it hit the underside of the bar and bounced over the line!!!!!
agree with all above.. we've got to keep creating.. good unbeaten record but to get into play-offs you need wins..
Only heard it on KCFM - but sounded like we really have a potentially excellent team. If they can keep attacking, at last we same see some progress!
nice to keep the run going, and with two very winnable games coming up, might be in a good position come next saturday!
we have to start winning these games or were gonna fall away, encouragement tonight though, bloody schmeichel!
The first 40 minutes were the best we've had all season. We gave a cheap free kick away though and were punished. Not only did it result in a goal, but it gave Leeds the confidence to fight on, being only 1 goal down at half time.
as soon as it went to 2-1 it was so predicatable.....all these draws are bollox..win some, lose some, gets you more points in the end..
I thought a draw was pretty fair result. Mclean should have scored after 30 secoonds but Leeds had the upper hand for the next 15 minutes and were unlucky not to score - I thought it had gone in to be honest. We had the better of the rest of the first half but both Dawson and Gerrard deserved yellow cards. As for Gerrards being a poor free kick, their player was running out of pace but would have had a shot on goal with no defenders in the way so good one to give away. The resulting free kick was top-notch and pretty much unstopable so that can't be faulted. Both teams had some good shots in both halfs so it could easily have gone either way. Trying not to be biased, I thought we were the better team 60/40, but a point against a play off place team is a good result.
Leeds are NOT a good side. I'm not having that after tonight. They are a horrible side of 6'4" thugs who's entire game plan centres around massive barges and elbows. They were so dirty it was unreal. The Rosenior injury was about the 4th or 5th time their player had charged into one of ours about 2 weeks after the ball had gone, the ref kept letting it go and eventually someone gets hospitalised. I can't believe they only got 3 yellow cards.
they are dirty, but on the other hand we are a bit wimpish..its a yorkshire derby, and we got pushed around like school boys at times..almost embarrasingly...got to be a bit of grit in a game like that....ive said it on another thread, but to me as much as it pains me to say it, leeds wanted it more 2nd half...except for barmby agan, another reoccuring theme is him coming on and showing certain people up with his work rate..
Our substitutions where a bit bizarre, McLean was playing great and didn't exactly look tired but we pulled him off, and Devitt for Stewart is a substitution I'll never understand. Similar players but Stewart is better, what's the point in the change?
stewart is better, but it hasnt quite been coming off for whatever reason in recent weeks....my own opinion is that he should be up front, so he has more licence to roam and maneouvre...especially tonight against andy o brien, who i think is rubbish and we should have targeted more...
That's everyone's opinion I think, but Fryatt and McLean are doing great so he is getting stuck on the wing, and since we have no better wingers he's worth it on the off chance that he might do something amazing.
i was thinking id like this on saturday mclean koren evans devitt stewart fryatt.. scunny are rubbish and we should just go and try and destroy them, we wont tho
Hmm, McLean seemed more comfortable on the wing tonight than Stewart does (even though I was criticising people assuming McLean could play on the wing recently, as he was only known as a striker) so you may have a point there. He might be forced to play a midfielder who can attack a bit if Harper is injured. Koren and Evans would probably work.
