We go again boxing day. No team plays their best and wins every game. No player excels every ninety minutes. Teams play well and lose, play badly and win. United with belief we will get there. Merry christmas siblings, still second and nine points to play with 😁.

Seen a stat there. That is truly remarkable. Since 2015 (March ) when we beat Fulham 3-0. In Landon. We have played 19 games.
Unbelievably we have had more red cards (3) than wins (1) in those 19 games. So today was almost a foregone conclusion . wish I had off seem stat before match. ifh have put a sneaky score in Fulham. Lol. Thank f@&k there is not more than half the league full off teams from Landon
Onward and upwards my fellow whites. Other results went our way today. So it's a defeat is a lot easier too take than the draw from last week. can I wish all my fellow whites. A very merry happy whyte xmas and. More points in the board for the new year. MOT ALAW. ⚽️🎅🏻🎄💙💛🤍👍.

Never thought I'd say this, but that defeat doesn't worry me. They had a strong first ten, and we looked anxious when Pablo went off. We then smashed them for 35 mins. Second half a bit more twitchy again, but nothing too much to worry about.
Fulham, Preston and Brentford will lose a damn sight more games than us in the second half of the season, and that will see us promoted.
Fulham were very poor vs my expectations of them today.

This season is totally different to last. We seem more settled as a team. I’m looking forward to the bridge next season!

Well that's the seasons half way point and I could name 22 teams who would swap places. Strangely I don't feel as gutted tonight as I did after Cardiff game. What gutted me most apart from it being harris and Cardiff was I hadn't seen such a collapse coming from this leeds team unlike many in years gone by. Today we have done more than enough to suggest we are way better than what many believe will be our closest rival. Scott parkers after match words laughable. Hee is no jokanovic and this is no jokanovics Fulham. Keep the faith. Bielsa will see us home.

So firstly, no need to panic, still 9 points clear of 3rd ( effectively 10 with goal difference) .

Transfer window approaches, what do we need? I think there’s no harm losing Clarke, Edmonson out on loan and even selling Douglas, he’s 3rd or 4th choice left back and not likely to get a look in any time soon. Wouldn’t mind losing Nketiah if we can replace him with someone like Che Adams on loan ( saw him linked yesterday) . Nketiah has many qualities but I’d be concerned if he was our first option if Bamford was injured. Would be nice to get in an experienced centre half just in case. I don’t think that’s too much to ask

I couldn’t bear it if our inactivity in January cost us promotion. The play offs are bad for my health. I’ve avoided watching the Amazon documentary and will continue to do so until either it won’t make me cry or we get promoted, whichever is sooner.

Wally I watched our collective nervous breakdown depicted in the Amazon doc yesterday as I couldn’t bring myself to watch it before . It reminded me just how capable we are of screwing things up from seemingly impregnable positions . At the end Kinnear said that we won’t quote “ dick around with the playoffs next year “ . However, his recent program notes stating that we won’t be actively in the market in Jan barring exceptional circumstances, suggests that is precisely what they will be risking!

Apparently Aapo Halme turned in a fantastic performance today as Barnsley beat Millwall, I wonder fabulous price we got for him on top of letting Pontus go?

Too true Martyn. He’s been crap all season.
No collapse this season. We are going up.
And Eddie did nowt in that second half.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 18:08:15
If we loose the next 3 games out of six there maybe some cause for concern. It’s my belief that will not happen and we will beat Preston.
We are not going unbeaten till the end of season nor are West Brom. Today we were not beaten by the better side, no way was that a penalty, but decisions like this will determine some of our results. We are still nine points ahead and still playing well. All’s good from where I’m standing.
Have a Happy Christmas folks and in the words of Winston Churchill, Never, Never, Never give up. 🌲⚽️⚽️🍻.

I don’t think they were the better side tho. More time wasting, more diving, more moaning, and Kiko could do nothing about those two goals. He made a worldy of a save for their only other real effort. Fulham are not a very good side, and do not have a very good coach either.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 17:55:28
Oh wow! It's terrible, we're only 9 points clear of third place!
I long for the times we were mid table with half the season gone and absolutely nothing to look forward to, apart from the days getting longer! 😭😭.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

21 Dec 2019 18:39:16
True . but warning signs are there . we had a large lead last season but messed it up particularly due to a terrible decision not to strengthen in the Jan transfer window. will Radz and Co repeat the same mistake this January?

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 18:41:25
If we mess up promotion again this season. you can look forward to mid table next season Danum.

Let’s buy seven players to improve the squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 23:30:55
Not seven Cork if you are being facetious or not who knows . but threec players are needed CB DCM and striker for sure. . squad is thin.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 17:43:40
i hate myself . i make a positive post and then we have two dissapointing results

in isolation it is not a big deal, any team can draw and losing to fulham is understanable but this time of year it is the same old falling apart again

we have done far better than i thought but i do always have that nagging feeling that without a big nasty cb we will drop points when it matters

still we live to fight another day but 5 goals in two games could be the start of a worrying trend

so going back to my old self. we are useless and not going up (we should start winnign again now)

Don't worry BW.
The sides below us aren't good enough to catch us this time! 🙊🙏.

21 Dec 2019 20:10:28
Funny how no one criticises white when he costs us a game like alioski or Harrison get when there under par.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 21:06:07
alioski gets too much stick in my opinion i love the fella but he is one for the boo boys and thiknk h trives on it to be honest

didnt see the game but even if white did cost us it it would be hardsh to be hard on the lad who has been amazing

and danum the teams last year wasnt good enough to catch us either. they didn't catch us we fell below them with some relegation form. don't put it past us to do it again

reading the report it was the goal from the corner after 'looking petrified' from every high ball from cardiff that worries me. we have been good defensivly but corners cost us early in season and then kiko has been world class helping our defence. let's get a proper CB to go with white and then we won't fall behind like last year MOT.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 20:47:22
You were always right about a big centre back but not Pontus . ideally White would be 6 ft 2.

The real problem is that we have a chancer of a chairman in Radz who needs to sell Leeds United in the summer after year again he inevitably has failed to strengthen in January and then more than likely Leeds fail again to achieve promotion

# Radz out in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 21:22:24
No place for “a big, nasty centre back” in this team. We play football, from back, to front. And we didn’t lose for the lack of one. Football has changed, and continues to change, massively.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 22:29:41
I was waiting for Bermo to come back with the big CB argument: It only took two games!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 23:40:20
Bright we have a little nasty Cb in berdi. he can't play football, he can't pass he just gives 100% and is nasty and hard. how about we just swap 5'8 beradi for a 6'2 version

and cork it was always on the back burner and 5 goals in two games was always likely to do it.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Dec 2019 17:12:01
Well that is disappointing. Can’t win em all and Fulham away was always going to Be one of the toughest games of the season. Hope we put it right in the next game.

You can always tell when Christmas is coming up. Lose two 0ne. A soft penalty and another set piece against a Bamford tap in. We need to sort this out or the points in the bag won't be good enough - again.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

21 Dec 2019 17:11:14
Hesslian been saying that for a long time now you can’t have 70% of the game and do nothing with it when the opponent have 30 and score, looking like another season out of the PL, and I know what some will say we are second with 9 points but that will mean nothing if we loss the next three.

I hope we are not reverting to earlier in the season and last games of the previous season. One mistake - one goal conceded. Dominating possession missing chances with Bamford being a major culprit again. Need to step up in the second half. Was Costa trying to get himself sent off? Another day and he would have been.

Really hope I am wrong but last weeks capitulation to Cardiff will have severely knocked confidence. I expect a run of indifferent results now followed by Radz and Orta messing it up again in the January window by not strengthening
