I'm a Lassy doubter. Tried hard and did well yesterday, but also sprayed a few wayward passes around, at least one which nearly cost us a goal. Mind you, I didn't think Chris Wood was anything out of the ordinary. Not difficult to look good in this side at the moment

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 21:41:08
I must admit that was a great comeback, hopefully something to build on for PH, but I maybe slaughtered on here for this, but for me Dallas has never been good enough. Never does it when he gets his chance.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

18 Feb 2018 23:44:12
There were worse players than Dallas out there, how much better did we look once o'kane went off? . felix? . Anita can't run, Dallas would have been better at right back, sacko did ok when he came on and gave us an outlet, nice to see a centre mid player take the game by the scruff of the neck 2nd half and want the ball all the time. looks a d cent signing Forshaw

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Feb 2018 09:33:55
I thought Debbie did we'll, certainly gave Bryan a bit to think about. Anita looked ok at RB too. Wiedwald however, well, words fail me at times, good shot stopper, fair distribution but every cross in?

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 21:29:30
At the end of the day it is a point, something for PH hopefully to build on, so let's give him a chance. He just might suprise us.

Great spirit to fight back today - missed the first half but apart from a few shaky moments 3nd half wasn’t too bad. Room for improvement but not a total disaster

Believable3 Unbelievable0

19 Feb 2018 00:54:04
What about the 2nd half alf? At least you got money worth with 135 minutes!

Agree3 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 21:11:59
I think we did well today to get a point, it was a great fight back. But I may be shot down in flames here, but I have never thought Dallas is good enough, can't ever remembering him doing the business for us.

Just got home after travelling back from the match. At half time was dreading the journey back, always a downer if we've lost. Can't fathom why we only seem to try once we are chasing the game. Thought the players would be playing for their shirts seeing the banned players are back in the frame for our next match. Some have no heart of passion for the game, was told Felix was improving, can't see it myself. If we play as bad at derby as we did first half today then we will get spanked! Come on boys earn your tag of professional footballers!

All credit to our amazing supporters today, without them that comeback wasn’t possible

How about cutting thier wages in half, as they only seem to put the effort in for half a game.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

18 Feb 2018 22:25:07
Or. the players could start the 1st half as they do the 2nd and we'd probably win more games.

Big fella He was at Barnsley before us. They not exactly Barcelona. I think he doing alright. You've got to stop losing first. He's done that at least. He's British, knows the division and isn't a muppet. I'm thankful for that.

18 Feb 2018 19:30:35
These last two matches were a dry run for Hecky. Now he knows how deep the problem lies and maybe he has formulated a cunning plan but for me the judgement day (s) now start Wednesday. I think already he has a good idea the positions that need reinforcing.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 23:23:11
I think we'll get one over on Derby on Weds. It's a gut feel, and yes I have had bad guts for 3 days now, but I reckon with returning players, and another few days with heck after that second half, the lads will be bang up for it.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 19:07:46
The keeper has to go he does not in still confidence that's why our defence is poor.

18 Feb 2018 19:29:29
He not used to English style hustle and bustle. Very poor recruitment showing the knowledge of Orta and Radz. I'm sure we will have a new keeper in July.

For a big lad he can't punch for toffee, poor timing and flaps at everthing

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:50:51
It don't matter who plays at the back when you're nervous about your goalkeeper. Would like to see Peacock-Farrell given a chance, can't be any worse. Better in second half but awful in first. Hoping Saiz and maybe Cooper can give us a lift.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

18 Feb 2018 19:05:11
Have to agree with BPF how bad can he be? Goalkeepers have cost us massively this season.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 19:00:54
Wasn't BPF on loan at the start of the season, and sent back for not being upto it? Can't remember where, but it certainly wasn't a championship club, and I'm sure given our situation, had he been tearing it up in training, he would have got a chance. Obviously not good enough.

Agree0 Disagree1

18 Feb 2018 19:35:21
Yea bright he was at York and was a mare for him. Got abused big time

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 19:44:31
I think he was sent back injured. Not 100%. But I think he was.

Agree0 Disagree1

18 Feb 2018 19:50:09
Vinny, Copper give us a lift? More like own goal, penalty or red card. IMO not good enough for a Leeds shirt.

Agree2 Disagree1

18 Feb 2018 19:26:37
Vin he is a weak goalkeeper, doesn't come for crosses and catch them and command his area! Bristols keeper demonstrated how its done as he caught everything with ease, our goalkeeping coach has to take responsibility for not doing his job and coaching it into him he must be looking at that and thinking WTF he should go also IMO not good enough! I would be screaming in his ear to get some b@@@s amd take charge of his area he is scared stiff of physical contact, needs to man up and our GK coach needs to earn a wage 😠

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Feb 2018 09:34:09
Why won't Coops give us a lift? He's the players choice for captain

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:44:35
Paul Robinson says we need a new keeper! No s**t Sherlock! Any chance Robbo would come back and take over! He’d be welcome with open arms!

18 Feb 2018 19:45:19
Even as a coach wouldn’t be a bad appointment.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 20:06:38
Disagree. When he replaced Martin through injury and then stayed in the team it was a massive mistake. His distribution was terrible unlike Martin who released it quick and accurate. Robinson just kicked it a long way, usuallly to the opposing CHs! Scored a good goal though v Swindon I think!

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 20:18:18
I was joking Martyn mate! I was just making the point that we have nowhere to go on this, we are stuck with Felix and Linergan!

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:41:00
In the immediate aftermathI would single out 2players. First Wieldwald. Get rid, he is as bad if not worse that Silvestre. A team with ambition cannot carry a goalkeeper as poor as him. Secondly, Lasogga, had my doubts but, just like Wood, after a poor start, he is beginning to look the part and he us also showing some passion for the club and fans. Good on him, and if he continues let's hope the money men see sense and get him signed up.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 19:02:41
Great to see Lassie stepping up!

Agree3 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 20:26:45
I’ve got to agree with you Brightwhite, he showed passion today as did Adam Forshaw who punched the ground when he missed, I like that because it shows he wants it! Passion and frustration like that shows they care!

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 22:22:38
There's not a cat in hell's chance we'l sign lasogga. £50,000 a week is way above the wage structure.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:40:06
To quote George Groves (and others) It's a question of who wanted it most. Them in the first half. Us in the second.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 18:38:28
Still got a big question mark over Wiedwald, still think we need a new keeper, but i'm liking the way we play with more passion now and work harder - have to say i think we would lost under TC but big shout to the fans who got the side going

18 Feb 2018 18:55:09
Yes but will we make top six George? Let me know before Corals opens tomorrow.

18 Feb 2018 19:27:19
No top 6 leo. 7th or 8th finish.

18 Feb 2018 19:27:44
I predicted 2 all draw.

1. No, and
2. You are having a laugh aren't you?

18 Feb 2018 18:33:55
I don't get it. We only seem to play well after we've scored. It can't just be a confidence thing surely?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 18:44:27
Exactly right Danum. hopefully PH can take the positives from the second half, and build player confidence. It's been the story of a large proportion of our season sadly!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:32:35
I have said we can play my only question is why do we have to go behind and wait 45 mins to show it?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 18:28:58
Well at least they showed some balls, with a great assist from the crowd. Having said that, it's still called papering over the cracks. Let's hope the returning lads inject some quality.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 18:34:26
Lets hope its a sign that PH can get them firing. 3 MORE available on weds so let's do the lambs

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:47:14
Let's hope that second half response, under a new coach, with key returning players, can be a real turning point for this season! Still only 8 points off, with everything to play for! The fat lady can go back to humming quietly!

One thing I always have, and always will disagree with strongly, is booing, jeering and whistling an individual while playing in a match for us. What's he supposed to do? Improve? Grow in confidence? Deplorable behaviour towards Felix!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 17:53:55
I certainly would not have taken Dallas off fir Sacko. I would have taken okane off. Hardly been in it. And when he has. Been brushed off the ball too easy. And done nothing with the ball.

Agreed

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:23:31
You're right batty! O'kane has been out of form for sometime now, and I would have rather seen even Viera or Phillips start ahead of him. I also reckon Dallas would have more to offer in the centre than o'kane!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 17:42:59
Hopefully as part of our 5 year plan Pennington is keeping the shirt warm for Flint and DeBock is a worthwhile back up to Bryan for next year.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 17:55:38
Should have done the deal 12 months ago for a snip off what they are worth now. Radz game plan now changes and wants to buy players who know the league and are British. A year too late.

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 17:57:18
Should of signed those players in summer I thought we were linked with them. Fans know good players we linkedb with good players and sign some dude from Spanish second division for a quarter of the cost . And that’s why we’re where we are

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 18:30:52
Agree in principle, but they didn't Stop us scoring, which says something, plus Bryan gave away a stupid free kick from which we should have had the winner! ?

The spine of a decent team! I got slaughtered on here earlier in the season for saying that and questioning TC appointment.

18 Feb 2018 17:42:15
I’ve said this many times bud and think your the only one who has agreed. Wood scored 30 goals . Green was quality Taylor was quality and bridcutt wasn’t great but we haven’t replaced him with any better . Also we should of paid Swansea what they wanted for barts considering how much we wasted in trash we could of paid the 7 million I think they wanted

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2018 17:32:03
How pathetic was that first half. No structure, no composure, no planing. They have a bloke who can hurl the ball into to the goalmouth from anywhere in the attacking half and we are gladly giving them throw ins. Worst offender? Our star defender. He always takes the easy option of kicking it out fir a corner or throw in rather than passing to someone in the same colour shirt, brain dead. As for the goalkeeping situation, words fail me. There's a better one sat in the sky studio and he's retired. Get yer boots out Paul, you're still light years ahead of this joke of a keeper.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 17:31:42
It's a good judge he is a halfway decent shotstopper because dealing with crosses he is a flapper. Didn't we get rid of Silvestre for something similar? For goodness sake get looking now. This man cannot be our keeper starting next season.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 17:24:14
Is that the sound of the fat lady's humming turning to song, again? Let's see what reaction PH can get from them in the second half. ?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 17:24:09
We are letting them look good. We are second to every ball. Misplaced passes. Every tackle, every header breaking to a Red shirt. Even our passes usually find a Red shirt. Where is the "New Improved" Leeds United I was expecting from Hecky. Maybe the man is stood on the touchline thinking "What have I done? "

Believable2 Unbelievable0

18 Feb 2018 17:23:17
How bad was that? Men against boys, too many players not good enough. Radz, smell the coffee and get Orta out now! We can only hope for better this half.

Gary monk is available We don't have the right balance 442 doesn't work with our squad . I have been arguing against many people who say we need 442 but we too light in mid field and Hernandez can't play left wing . Monk tried that start of his first season and realised it didn't work . going to have to take Ekuban off he is less than useless and but sako right wing Dallas left wing and Hernandez nunber 10 behind Lassoga

Is it right our leaders think this squad is good enough? Felix-garbage, O'kane-garbage. Carrying too many who aren't good enough. Operating with the finances we have we need a good scouting system to identify players who can play football. Whoever scouted this lot needs to keep off the booze.

Mike I agree. Albeit I think 1st goal was against the run off play. Andvhe git lucky as it went thru 3 players. But keeper had a mare. Stay on line when you know you can’t run thru players. After that. It’s school boy stuff. And tbh. Bristol now just passing and moving. Strolling about the pitch. I’m at a loss what to say now as it’s not looking like getting any better. Lassoga couldn’t trap a bag of cement. And has no football brain. Gets the ball 35/40 yards out. Turns and shots. Fir Christ sake. Try a through ball too ecuban . rubbish lads complete rubbish.

Bristol are doing well but we have shown we can beat them, hope the lads believe it a d put in a performance worthy of the great support we give. If we do lose at least go down fighting.

Come on lads, I feel a good run now to get a play off place. then we'll be the form team of the play offs who ever other team will be scared of. MOT WACCOE UTWDTP
