The first yellow card was given for foul that wasn't even a foul, your man ran into Rodon. It seemed the referee was handing out cards like confetti to both teams. The game has gone soft. I'll watch the whole 90 minutes again on LUTV this afternoon.
The number of times your players would get in behind one of ours and force them to ground was ridiculous. Keep your hands to yourselves.
Philogene looked better when Lokilo came on and he switched to the right. Twine looked lost and Delap has to play more centrally. I don't get LR's obsession with playing anyone but wingers on the wing. Slater's getting the Ashbee/Marney treatment.
I suspect it’s more a case of Rosie not feeling it was the right situation to bring him on and as MO said earlier he wanted to go to a back three to get more attacking players on the pitch.
Had to watch on my phone in Portugal , was the atmosphere decent sounded good in patches . Presume the owner was happy with a sell out? Mind you if they’d scored we’d have seen the locals !!
Cov fans one of the most impressive i've seen in recent years, there were good periods from both sets of fans last night tbf, can be difficult for fans to keep up the noise for a full 90 mins in a match like last nights' where the teams are relatively evenly matched and chances/attacking play are at a premium
The stewards will be told not to do anything unless it's causing a problem, if they'd have scored, it would almost certainly have caused a problem.
I have to agree on the first yellow, for me, it wasn't a foul, but the ref got quite a few decisions wrong on both sides.
That was a tough watch. Let's be honest, Leeds were bang average (certainly not as good as Bristol or Coventry) with several key injuries and on the back of Sunday's trip to Millwall, but we barely laid a glove on them even with ten men. It felt like a pre-season game at times. No shots on target for a team that's obviously struggling to score goals at home tells me Rosieball needs some desperate tweaking. We all want this team and the system to work but passing the ball around interminably at the back with, it seems, no plan to convert that possession into attack mode is so frustrating - do they actually practice how to break down a defence or is it just a question of keeping the opposition out? We have a shed full of 'creative' players but I'm still waiting for evidence that Liam knows how best to use them. Positives? Ryan Allsop.
It is breaking ground regulations. That alone is sufficient. Some City fans got tickets in the Stratford end through students they knew with Manchester addresses. When they didn’t jump up when Man Utd scored the stewards pounced and threw them out. Corcoran heard about it and tracked them down and got them handed banning orders. (Not as adept at apprehending bottle throwing rugby hooligans months later though). City fans in their shirts in a home area at Elland Road if they already had not got battered before kick off would be turfed out. And we would have fans saying they asked for it. We are too soft regarding these matters. I said previously most clubs concentrate stewarding and policing on the away fans in Hull it is the opposite.
