By blowing so inconsistently the ref killed the game. I commented at the time that the reason Brentford got to so many second balls first was because the Leeds players were frightened to get too close or put a foot in.
Morning all, I'm back and still no fkg hole in one Obviously missed the last couple of games but did some watching last night and had to say that Brentford would be shyte with 4 or 5 of their first team out, whereas we held our own against them. Ref was a disaster and needs looking at as that was no way a pen as Watkins was on his way down before BPF got anywhere near him and even then BPF would have blocked the shot and taken down the man after saving/blocking the shot. Disgraceful ref. Leeds have now gone 50 games without being awarded a penalty yet we have had 11 penalties against us in that time For Blackburn we have Barardi, Douglas and Roofe back. Pontus has been immense so hoping he comes back from Sweden fit and healthy otherwise Berardi takes his place. Berardi, Pontus, Cooper and Douglas should be the back 4 due to Ayling's red card. Alioski was great at LWB so another option, but isnt Alioski a right winger playing left side for Bielsa? if so he could cover Ayling? Wish we had some firepower up front because thats all we're missing really. Roberts hasnt done bad but a 19yo in this league will always be playing catch up. We need Roofe and Bamford back but would still love us to get Prijavic in January as yet again he scored in the Champions League this week. Simon's line up looks great to me, so cant wait for January
Morning all.....was happy with a point in the end. As for that ref, how many more times will we be on here, moaning about the standard of referees in our games. We pay a premium price to watch our team & hopefully be entertained, it only takes one useless ***** with a whistle to ruin it for everyone. Its time the fl got to grips with the refereeing situation and made their match assessments public so that any ref scoring a 5 or less in more than 3 games is removed from that level until he can prove he is up to the standard required, rant over. I thought Pontus was immense and back to his best
Leeds had equally a good chance following a corner and Phillips had a tap in, which their keeper made a spectacular save. Re BPF save, I would have expected him to make that save...
Morning pal, Me too. please log in to view this image stats Since Leeds were last awarded a pen 50 games ago, we’ve had 9 given against us and 8 red cards.
Morning Simon, people are saying there isn't much to choose between Harrison and Clarke. The main difference is £49,000 a week would you believe! I see in your starting line up, no space for Forshaw?
There needs to be more accountability for referees no doubt. I would love to see the ref rewatch that match and talk us through what he thought he saw each time he blew or didn't.
Morning Ell, I really hope we have all 3 back because this run of only two wins in seven games is not going to get us promoted. Admittedly we are hanging in there as other teams have not exactly taken advantage but we need to get a good winning run going to settle things down.
Hi mate Under Bielsa we dont play a usual striker and wide role as seen when Bamford plays as he spends as much time deep and out wide as he does up top. Roofe would be doing what Roberts and Bamford do and thats switch, rotate, move and as long as one of the front 3 make it into the strike zone ....
I wasn’t arguing that we weren’t worth our point Matt. Bpf kopped flak for the goal against Birmingham (both goals from some people) and he should definitely have saved the first one. That cost is points, But he made a very good save at 0-0 against Preston and the one yesterday was at full stretch low down. These maybe saved us points. You might expect him to make it, but The hull keeper didn’t make an easier one against us last week. Maybe you need to join the army and play in goal for your regiment to understand the art fella
morning all Referees like the rest of us have off days,but I have rarely seen a referee give so many bad decisions against one side.
Didn't think it was a penalty even if he hadn't dived, he was going at 90 degrees to where he'd nudged the ball. He was unlikely to retrieve it before incoming defenders or the keeper
Morning all from keighley its a work day so thats that. Got to say it was no peno but maybe pontus looked to have given one but ref said no.ref was useless and should be dropped off the list. Im with the brentford guy on the performance we were second best and they could have been three up and out of sight but missed their chances which were good ones.our passing was shocking and brentford showed the rest of the league how to contain us.in fact we played quite a few long balls saturday..not the bielsa way. Baker missed two great chances and we seemed to come alive with Alioski and him on.harrison seemed to come left and clarke right side. I like the way bielsa puts his subs on with time to affect the game.i then felt we could have stolen the three points but and here i go again we need a centre forward .
