Match Day Thread Leeds v BRISTOL CITY

Match facts

• Leeds have lost just two of their 24 league games against Bristol City in the second tier (W17 D5), with those two defeats separated by over 90 years (0-1 in both 1921 and 2016).
• Bristol City last beat Leeds at Elland Road in league competition in November 1979, going winless in their six such trips since (D1 L5).
• Leeds have suffered just one defeat in their last 12 home games in the Championship (W7 D4), with that coming against Birmingham in September (1-2).
• Bristol City have lost each of their last three games in the Championship - they have not lost four in a row since January 2017 (a run of eight consecutive defeats).
• Mateusz Klich has been directly involved in more goals than any other Leeds player in the Championship this term (10 - five goals and five assists), with each of those 10 goals coming from open play.
• Bristol City striker Andreas Weimann has scored four of his five goals in the Championship this season away from home. Indeed, only three players have netted more away goals in the competition this term - Neal Maupay (6), Lewis Grabban and Fraizer Campbell (both five).
• WHEN did AW last score? that is the question ……………….

 

I do not have a lot of confidence in us returning with any point/s although they "are short handed" so to speak …. 3rd choice keeper! look how well Max did!
We need to score it means they need 2 to rob us but cant really see that happening … what is annoying is they [coaching staff ] say MO is good at this that and the other . but gets no game time has pretty much been available last 2 [3] match's ….

 

We're ripe for a thrashing and Leeds could be the team.

 

We get tanked tomorrow I’m afraid.
We look shocking at present utterly shocking.

 

If we play to our strengths we have a chance , if we try to be too clever and worry too much about Leeds we will indeed in RR’s words “get tanked”.

 

Actually I think we are due an unexpected good performance and a win (but I won’t be putting any money on it!!!)

 

No Taylor - not even a sub. I wonder why?

 

Ah that explains it.

 

Playing with 10 men is always difficult and we have paid the price for Josh's mistake. I didn't really think we could win at Leeds but nonetheless it's disappointing to see discipline be our downfall.

 

Not one shot on target.
LJ needs to go and go now.
Pathetic showing over the last 10 games.
I said we may only get points from the Millwall game over the next six.
Loose at Ipswich and home to Millwallthat has to be the end.

 

The problem is RR will it get done and if it did then I would be totally shocked. I really think it must be showing through the cracks that we have lost the plot and haven't really progressed under Lee's direction and despite his 3 transfer window guarantee we are frankly spinning our wheels and going nowhere. The team that he was apparently attempting to build, because he needed to prove his worth, has fallen flat on it's face and some of his transfer dealing might come back and bite his arse. It would have made nice reading to hear that Lee had shown the footballing world that he could achieve good things but I can't ever see that happening and the buzz from last season's Carabao Cup success has long since disappeared off the radar.

 

He's had what, 5 transfer windows now when he said he needed three ?, still doesn't know his best team, different starting 11 and formation every game, 2 wins in 11, 4 defeats in a row, looks like yet another one of Johnsons fabulous runs. Performances have been shocking for months and very depressing having to sit through for 90 minutes every home game.

 

And still nothing will happen so the beatings will continue until morale improves. How come senior personnel at Ashton Gate aren't seeing the same issues us us or are they just capable of sitting back and letting mediocrity pass for commitment?

 

So who is larfing now when I said we could be bottom three after Millwall game.
We are 5 points of third from bottom loose the next two and that team wins those two games we will be.The below gives a good indication and shows how poor the guy is.

 

According to the BBC we did have 1 shot on target - and that was exactly the same as Leeds had before the sending off.
