Match Day Thread Stoke City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

I'm not bleating, just making the odd observation. Just ruins my week when we lose

 

I hate losing like the next man, but this was always gonna be a difficult game, a new manager, top of the league Leeds United at home, Stoke were always gonna raise their game and they did, they probably edged it and deserved their win we just couldn't get our rhythm going, i'm not too disappointed, as I said it was always gonna be a tough game, we move on, we're top of the League, as for people saying we need to spend, I agree, but we've got to get better players than we already have, we're not top of the League for nothing these player have got us there, no point slagging our players off, bad day at the office, we can beat anyone in this league, our only fear is the corrupt EFL they will do everything in their power to keep us in the Championship, Bastards the lot of them

 

What was alioskis goal like? I only saw about 20 minutes of the game. I'm liking him as left back from what I've seen

 

72 percent of the possession, just one of those days. Philips to come in for pontus against Rotherham I guess.

 

so that makes you correct then does it.

 

Low drive from left side of the box through a crowd of players Bucks

 

Awe just got in, f*** it

 

I wish we could put a run together,to start pulling away from the rest,guess it's called stating the bleeding obviouse.

 

Well thank **** we don't have to play those twats again. From what I saw we dominated in patches. Stoke are just one of those teams who have huge defenders and had plenty of men back.

 

the EFL do not like us i agree.as for stoke they have some good players and with the new coaching setup could climb the table into play offs.
some big solid lads at the back who stood their ground.they let us play it around and waited.loads of crosses we put in were crying out for someone at back post but weve no one big enough.would have taken two draws before norwich but now need to beat rotherham.
we looked sluggish but had eight days between games .

 

We had a bad day but we're not a bad team, 3 defeats in 4 games, all teams have those kind of runs, thing is not too let them go on too long. Main thing atm is, we're on that run but still top, we'll turn it around.

 

Totally agree. He was on and on about the spying and wrong it was. Yet his players were diving left right and centre.

 

I only saw the second half from after their goal Bucks, but Alioski looked to be back to his wasteful and frustrating self in the last 20 minutes, loose passes around their box and over-hit crosses. By the time he scored it was irrelevant.

Hey ho, just an off day, onwards and upwards.

 

Stoke are a big team and bullied us a bit

 

Poor discipline cost us again today,2 bookings for descent and got Jannson sent off when he picked up his deserved booking later on.Philips the other week,that's 6 points poor discipline has cost us.

 

I hear Pontus was in a bit of bother after his sending off.

 

I saw Pontus give BPF some stick for **** all, I hope BPF gave him some back for leaving him on a one to one with the stoke frontman just after fouling him and getting himself sent off
Swansea just scored !-0

 

You know I would really like to complain to the league about those 12 teams (Derby + 11) for being pillocks, I'm sure there must be a rule about that!!!!

 

The pillock rule was abolished by order of harvey. He thought it reminded him of someone.

 

****'sake Eric, if you do complain, tell them you're a Barnsley fan, and not Leeds, who believes Bielsa has done nothing illegal, (which he hasn't) or we'll get an extra 15 point deduction
