For many tonights draw was as good as a win I know it sounds silly but we did everything but score. It may be a factor which will come back to haunt us at the end of the season. Attack wise we are 95% there. I am quietly impressed with Roberts he has not done too much wrong and if he grows and learns with Leeds we have a start on our hands then throw him in the mix with the other four strikers we do not have too much to worry about. In fact I hope I am watching when we click. Some poor team is in for a real trouncing when we do. Personally, sad we didn't win; with all those stats we deserved to.

Leo Newsflash. Reach scored a worldy few minutes before halftime and then the Polish Messi equalized in the second half.

Apart from winning I thought that was a great performance. I know the finishing cost us a victory, but if we keep playing like that we will be thereabouts, especially with the players to come back after injury. Let's enjoy the ride this season and the good football we are seeing. MOT.

Fair point Wex, but there is nothing more than I would like than to see us get back up, but I do think if we carry on playing like this we really do have a chance this season.

Wex Would you like it to be the month of May right now? How about a one game season?

It’s a tricky one

Forest are starting to grind out the karanka trademark 1:0 wins and will be thereabouts

Boro the same

WBA will finish strong

But we are Leeds, nothing is ever easy but we will play the right way.

Good result. Still lack cutting edge. Unfortunately Roberts not up to it. One for the future. Alioski very frustrating. Overall should have won, we got a point but could have lost.

Roberts had a great 2nd half. a real handful. remember he's a 19 year old lad.
I've no doubt he will turn out better than roof.

With a work rate like that, we should be getting the three points. Like you say Hess, lacking the cutting edge at the moment. Lots of positives. Not sure about Harrison's judgement. Saiz was fair to be frustrated with the way it went. Pontus etc fine. A worry - I do wish someone would remind BPF that his area is the box and that he may wish to spend more time there, than meandering towards the centre circle for sod all sensible reason. His positioning is truly and needlessly shocking at times. He makes me on edge when he goes walkabout.

Morning lads, created enough chances to win that match . But after being behind away, I'd settle for a point. Think we are really missing Pablo and Roofe but thought Roberts put in a reasonable shift and our defence was excellent . Best player for me was Pontus . Still top for a day anyway despite our injuries so not too bad . MOT.

Disappointed with the result but not the performance. Woulda taken a point before the start but in all honesty we shoulda got 3. Totally bosses it and I couldn't see how they were going to score apart from the wonder goal they got. MOT.

Lots of chances created, just not coming up with the clinical finishes against some last ditch defending . A good response, and he kept virtually all of the same team on for the 90 mins and they kept up the pace of the game. Interesting if he carries on with the same same against Hull. Would be nice to have Roofe back on the bench for the Hull game. Roofe and Hernadez obviously bring that extra touch of class, that we are missing, but you can’t fault the fitness, effort or resilience .

28 Sep 2018 22:14:36

Relentless, running and battling. just didn't fall right in the box. very happy with performance but ofcourse not the result.

As predicted lacking creativity from midfield to make most of possession When we do get chances we lack the cutting edge to score. If you don't take your chances you almost always concede. 2-0 loss tonight I think. Not good enough with the absentees. Roberts has a bit of pace bit little else. Phillips sloppy in midfield and missed his chance when it came. We're definitely not good enough unless something radically changes.

28 Sep 2018 20:57:10
You might be right about the result, but we have created more opportunities and shots than any other first half performance. More than the missing plates Siaz hasn’t found his touch or the space to create much of note tonight and you’re right chances falling to the wrong players. Don’t give up yet.

I'm seeing a split between my fellow LUFC supporters. Some saying a win, some saying a definite loss. Obviously we all want the win but I did want to ask (again) whether the other teams have figured us out? Especially after the Brum loss. Last time I asked I was reassured by some on here that it wasn't likely, some even comparing us to Man City, and that everyone knows how they play but still can't stop them. Man City we certainly aren't. I guess my question to those who predict a loss is this, is it because of our injuries or because teams have worked out how to counter (or negate) our attacking style? Or just a bit of both?
My prediction is a 1-0 loss with the only goal coming in the dying throws of the game.
Much love. Softie xx.

Fair enough that teams can park the bus and make it more difficult for us but we gave Birmingham two easyish goals that we are not going to concede in every game. We won the second half one nil! And we created more chances. I think you are right, that we have to take chances that we create in order to win those tighter games.

It’s going to be a tough game, local derby away, against a team performing well. But I think this is going to be a real insight into what Bielsa can do. He’s wounded, the team are wounded, he is showing his faith in them. Let’s see, I think it’s going to be a cracking game and we are going to win 3/ 2.

Southern Softie. I think most team managers will have "figured out" Biesla's Leeds United by now. The guy isn't a rocket scientist

However, figuring out what Leeds are doing and working out a way to stop it AND actually then go on and beat Leeds is a whole different matter

Leeds are fitter than you.
Leeds are faster than you.
Leeds press you from the goalkeeper on through to your forwards.
Leeds don't hunt the ball in ones. They do it in twos or threes (notice how many times after a full on one-on-one tackle that the next player in to mop up the loose ball is a Leeds player) .
Leeds will not let their heads go down if they conceded.
Leeds do not get frustrated.

I doubt their are many Premiership managers who can "figure it out", I am certain that there are none in the Championship
(And before you say It, Monk didn't figure us out. He came not to lose)

Totally agree Axe!

28 Sep 2018 15:57:59
We lack the creativity in midfield and cutting edge up front due to injuries. Can't see much better than a close run loss. Hope we can hang on for a draw but I doubt it. Head says 2-1 or 2-0 loss. Heart hopes for a 1-1. (When asleep I think its a win for us but then I wake up.

Got to agree Hess, once we have Hernandez, Roofe and even Bamford back then I think the team will be firing again.

28 Sep 2018 14:09:59
Not a criticism. but come on Lads, the years have worn us down. Time for a change of perspective, you don’t get to be top of the league by luck, we have a good team and excellent coach so I’m going for a win by two clear goals, at a push be dragged back down to a draw but cannot believe all our opponents supporters fancy playing this team. I’m going win MOT brothers!

Love your positivity class, was buzzing myself at the Norwich game. Then came along a few injuries and can see how lightweight our attack is. We can have 60% or70% possession etc during a game but need to score the chances that we create. We have away goals against Brum and had to chase the game. Sorry to say but Monk had set his team up well not to get beat. Hope that Bielsa has learnt from that defeat.

28 Sep 2018 13:00:43
I have to agree with ausman I am nervous for tonight will it be a case of deja vu? remember last season when we just went on a downward spiral after I think we are playing much better than last season from what I have seen hope we don't lose because I am fed up of hearing "leeds are falling apart again" unless we are singing it to take the p***!
anyway going for 3-2 to the mighty whites I think more out of hope than anything else.

I think it was because they heard Lucas was going and couldn’t afford the extra security! I actually prefer TA for the under 23s . Closer to the players. Parking often a bit of an issue but there is un restricted parking before you turn into TA, just by the prison!

Bit nervous about tonight.
I really don't want to lose 2 in a row but will be hard game. I'm hoping we scrape a 2-1 win but not convinced.
And it's a very steep drop. 1st can quickly become 10th.

Snap Aus, not been a ground where we usually get much recently apart from the win the season before last. Not many neutrals giving us much of a chance tonight. Let's hope the Brum game was a blip and we can now start again with another unbeaten run. Even though we have appeared to be a stronger team this season the nagging doubts remain and wouldn't surprise many if we fell apart. Really want to believe this could be our season to push for the prem. Certainly going to be a tough test tonight!

Right, I'll say it early, what is wrong with Kalvin Phillips, cost us the bloody game. Cooper, what a liabilly and don't get me started on Alioski😂😂.
On another note,
3-0 Leeds, Roberts with another brace, saiz will beat 3-4 players then score with a a fine finish, and Kalvo will bag a 30 yard screamer. going to put £50 on that, then check myself back into the loony bin.

ALAW. MOT.
