Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Wigan Athletic

Seem to remember saying something like that ages ago
All we seem to be good at is playing keep ball may look good but it doesn’t score goals when you need em

 

Contrary to believe, a player on the back post wouldn't have prevented that goal.

 

I’m sure most first division Keepers would have caught that, Kiko wasn’t blocked, he got caught out of position and misjudged it.

 

You don’t think we’re good at creating chances?

 

Shots at Goal including blocked, second is Goals conversion, we’re not in the top 20. This is why I don’t buy anything other than playing great football creating lots of great chances but the team failing to convert chances. Bamford took 93 of those shots, I can’t be bothered to break down who took the other 403

 

In short no
But I have a peculiar take on what is and is not a chance and what is a shot on goal and what is not

 

We've not scored in 4 out of our last 5 games, how many times did that happen in the previous 26 when we had a second striker option.

 

.

 

Was going to comment on Bamford concerting 12 out of 93 but I resisted and didn’t comment.

 

Weren't 2 of them pens as well

 

Why not in my book if it’s not on target it’s not a shot on goal neither is it a chance any idiot can kick the ball in the general direction of the goal posts
thats why if I look at stats the only one that interests me is how many are on target

 

Afraid to say anything that could be construed as unpositive. There are people lurking in the bushes waiting to pounce you know

 

It’s not good enough mate I accept that but the rest is poor too

 

Wait till the season end, it will be everyone's fault including mine and yours, but not Bamfords if last season happens again. PS and Bielsa lost us the play off game by not playing Jansson, who probably told him that and got sold for doing so.

 

There are those who don’t like the truth and before they start quoting other teams I will just say I am only interested in Leeds United

 

Really!..... what's your next prediction for Bamford scoring, your last prediction didn't come true.

 

And your prediction that we’d be better without Phillips, that was a blinder of a prediction

 

It's really simple. Our forward line don't convert goalscoring opportunities. If we keep playing them then it keeps happening. If we change personnel then it might improve or it will remain the same as it is now. Why wouldn't you change it? What is it we are so afraid of losing?

Same at the other end. Everytime a team has a shot it goes in. Put another keeper in who is taller and can deal with crosses better. It might improve, or we might keep conceding every shot at goal. Again, why wouldn't you change it? It's not going to get worse is it!

 

Well said. In other words can’t be any worse maybe? Just playing devils advocate here of course

 

Our 5 or 6 wingers aren't scoring enough, which brings us back to why was our other striker sat in the stand thinking, how **** must I be if I can't get 10 mins.
