    Leeds Utd v Brentford
    Saturday 24th February 2018@3pm

    Good Morning Everyone

    If you had asked the most hardcore of Leeds fans would they settle for a 2-2 draw midweek at Pride Park, you'd imagine the majority would have bit your arm off, but surely having taken the lead twice only to surrender the lead twice in injury time is more than frustrating.

    First goal can be blamed on De Bock who was more intent on helping Cooper out and leaving his man unmarked. The second was another goal mouth scramble where once again we had 4 or 5 men behind the ball but were unable to clear our lines.

    There seems to be miscommunication between our defenders and the keeper. Is this bad Captaincy or is the keeper to blame for not commanding his area?

    We move on...

    Brentford are the visitors to Elland Road on Saturday.

    They lost against the Canaries at home last night, though only last week they destroyed Birmingham City 5-0.

    They sit one place and four points above us.

    Heckingbottom will have to decide whether to start with Saiz and rest Hernandez who went off with a knock.

    Continue with Jansson and Cooper at the heart of our defence; or recall Pennington.

    Viera or Phillips alongside Forshaw?

    Ekuban or Roofe partnering Lasogga?

    Morning all.

    So to borrow a comment from Twitter last night - De bock, if only he could de fend.

    I result we would have taken before the game felt like a loss at the end.

    The keeper. The defence have so little faith in him they are defending balls they should be leaving for him.
    Whether it was lack of communication or no faith but Cooper should not have been making the header that went out for the corner they equalised from.

    You could see Forshaws annoyance at Felix when he didn't give him a shout when he should have.


    Some good points from last night but unfortunately still the same old bad ones.

    Good Morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    Well before the game I would have taken a draw gladly but was left very disapointed not to have 3 points
    The old problems still keep coming up we have never replaced Barkly or Green Cooper and Felix are simply not good enough if we are to get promotion anytime soon

    Morning All.
    First off thanks to Ell for the links last night.
    Second I don't usually comment on individual players, however I will make one exception this time.
    Felix has a complete lack of confidence, which resulted ultimately in their second goal. He needs to be replaced.
    Our defence have a lack of confidence in Felix which is plain to see.
    Oh and to add another De-Bog left a lot to be desired.
    All in all a better result than I expected.
    Still think we should give PH time to get his feet under the table.

    Good morning all,when the finale whistle blew it did feel like a loss & my toes still throbbing,where i kicked the pc stand:emoticon-0183-swear.I felt before the game we would get at least a draw maybe a win (so close) but once again our keeper/defence let us down,Hemase is spot on when he said,and i quote (The defence have so little faith in him they are defending balls they should be leaving for him) this is costing us goals & more importantly points.Good news is i still have this feeling we are about to go on a very good run.But it is really imperative as we can all see,we get the keeper situation sorted,(i don't know how) as we are very weak down the ranks in this department,why this wasn't sorted in january is beyond me in stead of spending christ knows how much on u23's etc,for what we spent we could possibly have got ourselves a descent keeper from somewhere.

    I agree I think we are about to have a good run. Oh Heck is getting a lot right and once we start winning I think we will see a run like the beginning of the season. Not sure it will be enough for the play offs but would be nice to finish the season positive.

    Viera frustrated me last night. I am a big fan believe he is the perfect partner for Forshaw going forward. but his passing fell short of what he is capable of last night.

    Once he was carded he was of little use on the pitch. Look at the way he pulled out of a tackle in the build up to their first equaliser. No card he would have dived in. I might have made the Phillips change, another player I see getting better because of Forshaw, at half time.


    On the yellow card. I am not disputing the card but again a lack of consistency when we pick up a yellow for a pull back but Keogh got nothing for his foul on Lassoga.

    :emoticon-0148-yes: i still think we might just nick a playoff spot,if we could manage a good enough run,as none of the teams from 5th to 10th are consistent enough,and they will be dropping points.

    Good morning from manc services .so we threw it away again the keeper is rubbish.
    So what did not happen yesterday was the new badge the 21st was the date given but nothing has been said.also rads promised to speak of the plans by end of feb.
    All we have had is season ticket money grabbing with nothing to buy one for.
