*~*~* Dirty Leeds v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[cluffy]

I'm highlighting why we couldn't keep hold of the ball and we were on the back foot for most of the game...without getting really stretched at all.

Yeah I wasn’t disagreeing with you, just quoting you to add to it.

 

[bernardbresslaw]

If that’s your barometer then you’re going to be very happy most of the time.

No I'm not but I bet I'm happier than you all of the time.

Slow mo from one angle you can see Ekwah watching the hand ball then immediately look at the ref

 

[Roker Mackem]

"group"

 

[Geppetto]

If I was the manager I reckon I'd say I didn't see the handballs then burst out laughing.

 

[Ark]

Do you not think Bamford's privileged upbringing makes him different from most footballers who are mainly from working classes.
Oh no, it was Bamford who said that.

 

[LT2K]

Effort and work rate has improved massively in last 2 games. 4 more games like that and I'll go into the summer a little bit more confident next season will see us push on (summer transfers and new manager a big caveat)

 

[TB22]

Well done Mike Dodds took 4 points off Leeds .

 

[Geppetto]

He appealed for the handball on behalf of Leeds.

 

[Ohnonotagain]

Didn't say he did, but they should have had a couple of pens, and our performance was shite.

Really? came with a game plan, defended well, as an away team we could have nicked it with a bit of luck.

A professional performance against a top five team. A bit of graft, a bit of luck with the penalties, a bit of guts. Just what you need when playing away.

The problem is we don't know how to breakdown teams at home.

 

[PaulG]

Imo it’s boring as fck to go on and on about our shit no striker no manager situation.
We all are pissed off about it but we’re not going down so let’s have a laugh with this last few games.
I enjoyed tonight and I enjoyed Saturday.

Agreed. Nobody can do anything to change that right now, so instead of constant moaning we could actually enjoy the games.

And Leeds put out six players who have 61 goals between them, including strikers, and only got one shot on target.

 

[rubberface]

And here lies the problem, people happy with us setting up to defend for our lives for 90+ minutes. Working with what we've got, I know, but by god, we need better players if we want to compete at the top.

.....but we haven't, hence that approach tonight.

 

[Monument View]

It was stupid to make a sub with26 seconds to go

 

[Geppetto]

Sunderland's famous number 9. Nice one Bridgesy.

 

[YorkMackem]

Been working until around 60th minute. Looked like a great effort and loads of shithousery and a couple of refereeing reprieves. I love Luke O'Nien even more now, just because......

 

[Be Here Now]

Point and clean sheet

Positive nights work

 

[ajthemackem]

"It's not black and white..."

DODDSY NO.

 

[Deleted member 7993]

Scratchy Doddsy just been interviewed. WTF is wrong with him?. Itchy powder in his clouts ?

 

[Karlsson]

I actually enjoyed the game after the first 20 minutes and a lot of the team can be very proud with how they performed.

It’s those who’ve allowed this situation to manifest that I have an issue with.

No I totally agree mate there’s a lot of work to be done to get us where we need to be, especially given how much we’ve regressed since last year.

This season overall has been a huge let down big BIG summer needed!

And our ball retention isn't great
