    They've fallen apart too.
    Hoping that all 3 promoted clubs will be from London this season <cheers>

    Davy, knocking your head against a brick wall is right.

    Most of us could have picked a better team / formation than Bielsa hs done week in, week out

    The difference today in Keepers was clear, the Forest guy catches everything thrown into the area, our Keeper creates panic in the defence.

    I don’t want to ever see Alioski start at LB and when Harrison is in front of him they have no understanding about covering each other. If Harrison wasn’t giving it away Alioski was crossing blindly to mr nobody.

    Our midfield was shocking today, was it just one too many players out of position?

    I’m not going to get upset, I’ve resigned myself to us slipping away. The players have lost their belief, Bielsa and this team took us 11 points clear, no idea what went wrong after that, Bamford missing too many and Kiko being one of the worst keepers in the division probably

    Most frustrating thing for me is how little sides need to do to score again at us. The stats suggest forest had a lot of chances but they didn’t.. a bunch of speculative shots and three chances capitalising on us giving the ball away. Score from two and miss a sitter. At the other end we work little triangles but poor final ball against a packed defence.

    forest a such a bang average workmanlike side who are really lucky to be where they are in the league.. if you watch them and read match reports. And we’ve lost without really testing their keeper

    Although it's not an excuse, Kiko does have the potential ban hanging over his head, which the FA seem to be dragging out......maybe on purpose me thinks.

    Personally, I don't think the FA have any decisive evidence against Kiko, but they seem to be trying hard to find some.

    OK....

    ---------------- Meslier
    -------Cooper----------White
    Ayling‐--------------------------Alioski
    ---------Phillips---Shackleton
    Dallas ----------Klich----------Costa
    --------------------Big Kev


    Looks a lot more balanced and solid to me.

    That looks good apart from Costa. Don't know why he escapes criticism and Harrison gets all the flak

    Not sure I like all this Biesla bashing.

    Where's WJ and Chesh - surely it's all the fault of the corrupt EFL and dodgey refs? <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    No, he wasn't good but we have no other recognised centre halves. It would look better with Pontus there!

    I don't want wholesale changes. It's just so obvious to everyone that changes need to be made.

    I love Leeds United Davy, always will whatever league we're in, its emotions getting the better of fans its a natural thing, some people react differently and sometimes you can't defend the indefensible something needs to change and bielsa is the man who is responsible for that he's not above criticism ALAW..... LIMPING ON TOGETHER
