Leeds fans making it sound like we’re at home. Fulham looking very dangerous they’re passing is pulling us all over the place
Positives so far. If we can get £20m for Siaz and another £20m for Pontus then with ST sales that should be a minimum of £50m to rebuild this summer.
How did we get on? Reading the breakfast debate it sounds like we picked it up a bit in the second half. How did BPF perform in particular?
Our players aren't playing with confidence and enthusiasm, somethings wrong. Ekuban is useless when 1 on 1 with keeper. O'Kane is useless...........Pontus seems a different player for the worse Dallas was well and truly beaten for pace down our right. Heckythump brings on 2 subs, PML for Ekuban I can understand, Grot on for Alioski is like subbing a battleship for an Ocean liner with both anchors down. Heckythump has no tactical knowledge, we didn't seem to have a game plan, there was no sync, we aren't playing for each other, passing is woefull and Heckythump doesn't know about subbing for the betterment of team. I know some say they can't blame Heckingbottom, yes they can!! he's the coach, it's what he gets paid for. He's not getting this team inspired or confident, we're worse off than under TC.
Not sure what game you watched,second half,we matched them in every way apart from finishing,and while I wouldn't have brought Grot on,if he had headed down instead of over,would have been a great sub.Grot is 20 and will get better.we gave Fulham their best player for free,same as we did with Cardiff (bamba).
Great save first half by the keeper, beaten at the near post for the first goal. Yes we were much improved second half, the half full glass wants to believe it was down to us playing better, half empty wonders if it was Fulham taking the foot off the gas a little. For me, there were too many balls played into space with nobody using that space, it was like a team who had never played together at times.
Lucky to make it to Woodall Services as there was an horrendous road accident on the M62 at Howden yesterday morning with a lorry carrying a mobile home crashing into the central reservation into oncoming traffic sadly ending up with a fatality causing absolute mayhem. Still closed at 3am so diversions both ways made it an even longer day. Just to make it a more daunting journey the MI was closed in Leicestershire Positives Better performance than last season when we were battered & got lucky to come away with a point The form of Vieira & Phillips Beaten by a far better outfit Our fans were fantastic, amazing support/atmosphere Negatives Another slow start We created chances my granny could have scored, they signed Mitrovic in January who has netted nine in ten games. We signed Ekuban & Grot to replace our 30 goal striker Defence was all over the place as the Cottagers cut through us like a knife through butter We are a poor team generally, so many lightweight players Another two players injured taking it's toll to nine players in the treatment room now Officials gave us nothing Our best players in the squad Pontus, Samu & Pablo looked very frustrated as they trudge off the pitch at the end 6 Peacock-Farrell - 6 Couple of decent saves, feel sorry for the young lad 5 Dallas - 5 Gave Sessegnon and Targett so much space, at times marking 50 yards away, got done so many times 5 Jansson - Sad to say Fullham forwards were to clever for him 5 Pennington - A sticky toffee 6 Berardi - the usual endeavour from Gaetano 1 O’Kane - We improved when KP replaced him, hopefully he's out for the season. 7 Vieira - getting back to his best 4 Alioski - kicked out of the game, too lightweight 6 Saiz - Improved as the game went on, two wonderful passes in the 2nd half, the ball creating an open goal for Grot was a peach 6 Hernandez - Desperately tried to drag us back into the game 2 Ekuban - Not an instinctive striker, cost us the game in the end & he knew it on his knees with his head in hands as Fulham broke away with ease & Mitrovic showed him how the job his done ! 7 Phillips - Turned the game when he came on. Him and Vieira bossed the Fulham midfield particularly in the 2nd half 4 Lasogga - one decent run when cynically chopped down 3 Grot - Miss of the season as he headed the ball into the Leeds end. Another hands on heads for our fans 6 Heck - Sorted out the problems at half-time, played some nice football in the 2nd half. A lost cause for him with this squad of players, we are simply not good enough 3 Referee/Linesmen - gave us nothing & was very generous to the Fulham boys
I agree chesh, we did improve slightly in patches in second half, but the games about 2 halves. How long we gong to keep saying "we improved in 2nd half despite losing or drawing, we were saying same thing with Monk and Redders.....
