More a feeling on the general standard of refereeing in what is the second tier of English football. It’s been dire generally. Unfortunately you get judged on your mistakes in this game and he was another referee who has been conned.
Clearly not a foul but did we really look like scoring even with 11 players? We can't just focus on the sending off, we were generally ****e and we're not improving either
We did come very close to scoring. Bounced off their keeper without him knowing anything about it. But the chances were few and far between. However, it takes one chance to win a game sometimes. Or one chance to get a valuable point.
I still 100% think it's a dive. Just look solely on the movement of that leg. It doesn't move in relation to begovic's incoming foot. He had already decided to go down and was already doing so. Dive.
How did I guess that clicking on the comments would reveal Leeds fans claiming a touch? I mean come on lads. We're so ****ed, a squad that makes 'wafer thin' look like a Chunky Kit-kat and already injuries mounting up. That slight upturn in performances is already looking long distant. Why are we back to this identity-less school-boy kick it and hope style of football? GA's enthusiasm just isn't going to be enough we need some technical nous. I also did not like how he stood by and let a Begovic who was understandably losing his head a bit approach the 4th official like he did, it shouldn't take Gavin Ward to coax him away like that, GA is supposed to be leading these guys. What a ****ty night.
No plan whatsoever to the point it's like comedy especially when our fans start singing that we have managed a to have a shot. Honestly, Ainsworth looks like someone who's looking for his lost dog on a field. He's useless! Smyth is just wasted as a right back. Armstrong up top on his own with nobody anywhere near him. Dykes playing as a midfielder. Piss poor. Begovic deserves a card just for the amount of time he takes on goal kicks. Wouldn't be surprised to see Dykes in nets for the next game.
Didn't see any of the game. I presume we played 2 in central midfield again? Ainsworth is clueless and will undoubtedly take us down. How late will the board leave it before putting him, us and the players out of our misery?
Did he catch his foot on the way down with his foot ? Either way, doesn't cover over how utterly **** we are and how truly pathetic Ainsworth's tactics are !
