Think I was watching a different game Hampy! The Ref gifted them 2 goals in first 8 mins which dramatically changes the course of any half. Yes, we were poor. But no, we weren't stifled in 2nd half. We might have had 5 or 6 goals we were so dominant. On to the next, and we can start another fine run with a win at PR, and many Moore goals.
Ah but we were stifled. They were slowing the tempo at every opportunity - taking an age at substitutions, goal kicks, free kicks and throw ins and even the ball boys were in on the act. Usually sides don’t start doing that until the latter stages. All that time didn’t get added on and they had plenty of outlets, which meant we didn’t get any momentum or have long continuous spells in the final third, we had to attack in small waves instead.
Teams often try to stifle us first half but don't manage to keep it going over the whole match we then start to dominate in the 2nd period. Being 1-0 down at half time is very different to 3-0. No matter how badly we played with VAR or on another day we win that match. Unfortunately during this poorer run of form, things which earlier in the season were falling for us are going against us at the moment.

It’s on us. Exactly the same thing happened last weekend against Maidstone. There will always be fouls we don’t get and because of the way we play they will be in dangerous areas. We have to react better.
Personally have nothing against Ipswich. Predicted you would do well this year and you have but, telling Ristac to eff off is a bit rich when you keep coming on our board trying to swing your balls about, in fact, you look a bit of a eunuch in truth
Rather rich coming from a Dirty Leeds fan, you lot have been on suicide watch all season, every time you lose you go into meltdown, want the manager sacked etc etc
