Where's the Oak

Mate, this is what I'm saying.

The misses first half (including the one where Bamford doesn't take the ball in) should win us the game....and comfortably.

Meanwhile, the ref misses an offside and Struijk makes yet another mistake to give them a goal.

If we score a couple of those chances and the ref gets a decision right OR Struijk clears the ball, we're sat here saying how well we've played and what a great win we've just had.

Instead, it's all Marsch's fault. He's not blameless by any means. He ultimately picked those players and didn't replace Struijk at left back in the transfer window. But...those players on that pitch today SHOULD have won that game. Individual mistakes at both ends cost us yet again. Jesse can't score those chances. Jesse can't head the ball away. Jesse can't give the offside decision. Those are on the individuals not on the coach. Tactics didn't cost us the game today, the players did.

Strictly speaking, the way we set up today allowed us to create enough chances to win any game. Forest had two touches in our area 1st half and scored from a difficult chance with a great strike. It was the ref and Struijk who gave them that chance. I'm not picking on Struijk because of today. I'm picking him out because he's cost us important goals in nearly every match he's played since the world cup.

The fact Struijk was picked today is firmly on Jesse. He's ****ing dumb to even have him any where near that squad given his recent form.

For one last time...BUY A ****ING LEFT BACK.

It's not about players errors though ... it's about the fact that we've won just 4 out of our 20 games ... that's not a stat, that's a fact

This is definite relegation form, this is on the manager

Have to agree with Billy. Didn’t see a decent cross from Rasmus today.

Joke all you want, but there wasn't a half decent cross from either full back today

Good to know you're seeing it as well, because it's a huge fkn problem

8 years old. Normally start with cider. That's how I got my eldest two to sleep.

Still a student pub. They do decent burgers and stuff though and it's usually full of Rhinos fans before a game. Sat in the sun, eating a burger, sport on the big screen outside. Loads of lasses with short skirts on having drinks before going in to town. I'm always guaranteed a slap of the wife in their. Shako might have a heart attack.

Thought Ayling was way off the required standard yesterday.

I'll cut Struijk some slack as he was tactically asked to stay back to mark Brennan Johnson.

I know nobody cares, but my daughter Laura would have been 35 today. So that's why I'm drinking. She died 2 days later. Then years later we had to bury her organs because the bastards had removed them without consent.

Ayling had nothing to run onto though ... he may as well have sat in the stands that's how little Leeds got him on the ball in space

Struijk actually had plenty of scope to get forward because Johnson spent a lot of the game in his own half ... whenever Forest lost the ball their entire team dropped back into their half ... they weren't intent on getting forward, just the odd sporadic half hearted counter ... in a must win game you need to throw your full backs forward, bno point hanging back and losing 1-0, oh wait......

Thanks Milky. I probably shouldn't have posted it, but I feel like this forum is full of friends, even ones who I've not met and have different opinions.
