Whereas I'd start saving those league 1 ground addresses onto your sat nav if I were you. Second thoughts you probably know them well enough already
effing hell, what a second half, I'm still trying the prise my bum cheeks apart Bit unlucky not to nick it at the end there with Dallas, but great end to end stuff. Was Saiz knackered, or was his subbing justified?......he's going to get better and better, so is Alioski. I don't know about anyone else but I felt both Saiz and Pablo on pitch together worked well, whether it works every game remains to be seen. Pablo seemed to have more time and opportunities to do the stuff he does well. Full credit to Wiedwald in this game, he's either learning very quickly or the colly wobbles are slowly disappearing and he's beginning to settle. Excellent game to listen too after losing the stream, sign of times to come, hope so, but we have the players to challenge for top 6 and top 2.......
Well Wood did it again and managed to miss a couple but was robbed as he wasnt offside when he scored. Linesman should get fkd for not keeping up with play, should give benefit of the doubt rather than guess like that. Saiz and Pablo worked once they remembered how to hold the ball from 20 minutes onwards. We were the better team which takes some doing against Fulham. That team wont lose many this season so should be there or there abouts, but we need to start scoring and sure we will but thats always a problem when you rely on one up front. Saiz was unlucky Alioski unlucky, Wood unlucky, Dallas unlucky. Well played Leeds and hats off to our defence who has been changed in every game so far but surviving well.
Mate you've got to understand the basic rules of the game. It doesn't matter how many times your team scores if the others score more, well your team loses. I can explain the points system to you as well if you want? I wouldn't want you to be confused about why your team has 1 point!
Agree and I think we are improved from last years team. Last year I would have been pleased to have drawn against Fulham, this year I am annoyed we didn't win
We have the team and players, as well as good back up, apart from the Bolton and PV games we don't have the Cobras strike upfront. We need to find that sting that finishes the game off and puts opponents to the sword. Klich I feel may well be the player that helps to provide that sting with his defence splitting passes, is he fully match fit, or still recovering from a previous knock? don't know, but I think he'll work his way into team fairly soon.....
Was injured so missed preseason so will probably take a few weeks to catch the others in terms of fitness.
The young Irish kid was very very good tonight too so another tick in the box for Tommy and maybe save us a few quid for a CB. Wood has a scoring ratio of one in threee so odds on to score at the weekend. Would Caleb Ekuban & Wood be a threat worth taking?
There was only one player tonight who wasn't at the races. Normally I wouldn't point it out but so many during pre season were posting that he was going to be big part of things this season. I'm not going to get on his back as he tries his best but unfortunately in my opinion he just isn't able to provide the quality that we need.
Thought TC had good game tonight. First 20 mins or so it wasn't really working as our shape was too compact. As soon as we started to hit longer balls both on the diagonal and up to Wood it created the space for us to play in the pockets. Don't get me wrong we didn't play a long ball game just mixed it up sufficiently to be not too predictable. It meant that Fulham's midfield couldn't just press all the time as they had to drop to be in position to defend the longer ball. This enabled us to get a good foothold in the game and increased their workload which resulted in quite a lot of space for us to play in for the rest of the game.
Phillips is a conundrum. Sometimes he's sluggish and lacks sufficient movement. Then suddenly he's closing down all over the place, staying on his feet and getting a good foot in. Second half he got into more advanced positions and seemed to relish the extra license to get forward. Definitely justified his selection above others.
