    Think once we have Mundle back we will be like this.
    Mundle is the missing piece

    Did we really need 2 holding midfielders v Watford in a home game. Making teams look better than they are.

    If we have a monster RW I would agree but we lack the output in Roberts and need Rigg to actual have a end rusult too, Leeds squad is ridiculous to be fair.

    Nope they did, cleverly said their running stats were the best they’ve been for a long time

    Don't think say. We were just too passive and didnt take it too them. They looked ****e in phases but we didn't step it up until last 8 mins of the game.

    There’s a stat somewhere that two thirds of teams lose in the match after they play us …

    … Cleverley said his players ran harder and longer, against us, than they had all season.

    Leeds been pulling Gnoto and Ramazanni off the bench recently.

    Absolute levels that.

    Roberts needs dropping.
    Think he is more use being an impact sub.

    think proper wingers is something we need to invest in heavily in the summer.

    So they’ve just been ****e in pretty much every other away game bar about 3 this season and turned into world beaters for us? We made them look good lol. Other teams stifled them and we allowed them to dictate the first half

    Having goal threats across your front line is crucial. The Leeds front 4 tonight now has 38 goals between them this season;
    Piroe 12
    James 10
    Aaronson 8
    Solomon 7
    With Gnonto (5), Ramazani (4) and Joseph (3) waiting on the bench.

    Our starting right winger has 2 goals across the last 2 seasons. Thats the main difference for me.

    Yeah it's this. The difference is the opposition. We let them get a hold. Leeds didn't. Smashed 3 already.

    Yeah. It's why I said relentless attacking force. They set out to attack all the time and actually have the players to do it. Not sure we have either, to do that.

    We are doing well but that's why people have rightly praised Leeds etc. Not to put us down , they are just better and play with attack in the firsr thought. We don't.

    Yeah saying Leeds are going to win the league is absolutely not putting us down. Any team that gets close to them deserves to go up.

    They have had the effort played out for them by shipping 3 already. Motivation sharp goes when that happens.

    Well it is a football match why wouldn’t they put effort in? Did Plymouth just turn up for us, twice, and let everyone else take easy points off them?

    The squad we have is the squad we have.

    Leeds have a better squad.

    We can only support what’s on the pitch until the end ... or not I suppose, everyone's different.

    Promotion is a very real possibility.

    We can either win most of our last fifteen games …

    … or just four more then a couple in the play-offs.

    That’ll do for me, exciting few months ahead.
