Couldn't even take advantage of WBA's draw. Preston, for most of game outplayed us and bossed the midfield. Bielsa needs to give Nikita the next start against WBA.
We need freshening up. The bench looked very light. Bielsa obviously thinks the same or he would have put fresh legs on toward the end. The fact he didn't suggests he didn't think they would have a positive impact on the game situation. Nketiah to start for me. Bamford works hard but there is not enough talent in there for him to get us up.
I think with Dallas in midfield we can afford Eddie, even if he doesn't contribute as much as Paddy. A couple of half chances came to Paddy tonight and he fluffed his lines unfortunately
agree eddie is not good enough get a big guy in someone who can head the ball.we desperately need a classy mid.
A very poor display but to take the positives: We didn't look like we were going to get anything, We came back after going behind, We didn't lose any ground It's a game without Pablo ticked off
I think that's the first time I have been angry post match since Derby in the play offs. Today was not good enough! Last seasons collapse beckons.
agreed team effort can only get us so far and today it was missing.looking tired already and over trained.cue lots more injuries for bielsa to argue about and deny .
I think the Preston manager did his homework and his tactics almost worked. We should have put our chances away, but at least we didn't lose.
Indeed he did shaks we were ****housed from the first minute. Preston came with a plan to press us, break up play, slow it down and generally get under our skin. Bielsa didn't have any answers tonight and as someone just said on the radio on the way home Dallas got him out of jail. Also on the radio, worryingly Leeds not planning on bringing any one in unless Nketiha goes back. If that's true it's absolutely criminal, this squad is paper thin as it is and an injury to Bamford, Phillips or White/Cooper were fooked. Got lucky today won't happen many more times though the cracks are widening.
Bielsa needs a big pair of balls now, start Nketiah next game, it’s time to drop Bamford, Dallas CM and Ayling RB not working either. Over 90 minutes we should have won that but the first half we were easily second best. Fulham must be more upset than us 3-3 with Luton, it happens, we’re no wins in three now
70% possession, 17 shots, 12 corners, rattled the post, we were playing the third place team, is it really that bad? we seriously battered them second half, are we being to downbeat about tonight’s games and performance?
Nope we were **** all over the park first half, not what a promotion chasing team should be playing like. We just haven't got the metal in us. So far everyone around us has done us a favour 2 or 3 times and we can't take advantage. Make no mistake this league is as poor as its been for years. If we can't do it this season were not doing it in the next 5
Having had time to think about it, it’s painfully obvious this tiny squad doesn’t allow for any changes when things not going to plan. This evening was a prime example, only a bunch of untried kids on the bench. Some of today’s team need dropping or resting for a few games in the hope they’ll regain their form. What they don’t need is two games a week when they are struggling. I’m not naming names but it was pretty obvious to all. Transfer window a week away so quality additions needed. If rads can’t afford it let qsi or someone invest and grab what may be our last chance for a long time to get out of this poxy division
