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

Jobe is poor controlling and holding the ball up
Oh that we had a proper centre forward
Sky commentators Talking shite
Bam ford throwing himself to ground with minimum contact
 

Get Ekwah off for Alese. Somebody who might give Dan Neil a hand in midfield. Get Bellingham off for Hemir. Tell him to get on the last mans shoulder and hoy himself about. Instruct Pembele, Rigg and Clarke to fire some crosses in. Get Hume to launch Bamford.
 
Ah fair enough. I thought you meant you thought he’d not played well.

They’ve had a lot of ball first 35 mins or so but not really looked too threatening to me. We’ve grown into it.

Like to see Jobe try and battle and hold the ball up a bit better, but he improved from first ten mins.

No. He’s been ok. Disciplined in position and made some good tackles. Hasn’t done much with the ball and like the rest of the team was wasteful in the first half hour.

The stick Ekwah is getting is also daft.

There seems to be little room for a bit of measure! It’s either exceptional, brilliant or absolutely shite. This performance, collectively and individually, has been none of those things on balance across that 45 minutes
 
Tactically we’ve stopped them playing the way they want, problem is they’ve got individuals that can reek havoc. We’ve got to the half level so fair play.

We had our best spell when we’ve kept the play, Leeds don’t like defending for long spells they are over eager to jump.

I think they’ll score. But I think we will too.

Plan A has done alright for Dodds, let see if he’s got a Plan B up his sleeve tonight.
 
Hume has a lot to learn. He had a decent run last season then went to pot towards the end, had a couple decent games this season but by my count he's cost us 6 goals at least. The kid just dives in, misses then they're on goal or he's out of position letting them score. Don't know what gans through his head half the time.
 
Decent half that all said. We’ve set up well and for the most part dealt with them alright. They’ll no doubt change it up second half. Let’s hope we’ve a plan B to deal with that.
