looking at all games upto saturday. two wins for us will def increase the gap. hard games for the others .

23 Feb 2020 22:05:51
Yes 2 wins would hopefully increase the gap, as you say, but no games are easy in this division - need to get the wins first before counting on any gap. Talking of which - we've yet to play 5 of the bottom 7 at home. If Baggies, Brentford, Fulham or Forest had those all to come, we'd probably be thinking they had 15 points in the bag (despite both Fulham and Forest being turned over at home by Barnsley and Charlton respectively in the last week or so) but because it's us, I can't help seeing a minefield of banana skins - if you know what I mean.

Oneleeds 😂.

Rafa Mujica scored his Fourth goal in four games earlier. just saying, not reading too much into it.

23 Feb 2020 20:06:28
In about the Spanish 4th division brighty.

23 Feb 2020 21:51:50
Yes, but at least he seems to know where the net is.

24 Feb 2020 02:29:37
So do I, In between the two posts but that don’t mean I’m any good at scoring between them.

Massive 3 points yesterday! Again played well and our form seems to be turning at the right stage of the season! Pleased with pablos performance, Dallas was superb Solid, dependable such a pro and will easily cut it in the prem!

Huge save from Kiko at the end and another clean sheet will really lift him, like some of say posh boy just needs to hit the onion bag, maybe going to the smoggies on wed will bring out the animal in him! MM looked out for you in the Scarborough after 12 but not a prestine shell suit to be found my friend unfortunately! MOT brothers.

Is this the upturn in Pablo’s season? I sincerely hope so. I think he would admit it’s not been his best season for us but if we now get the Pablo Hernandez we all know and love for the remaining games he will be the man who will guide us to glory.

23 Feb 2020 19:14:16
I sincerely hope so OP. The man has been quiet by his normal standards but I believe he is the best player in the division and will show so in the final stretch. 🤞.

23 Feb 2020 20:45:12
He's been injured or returning from injury for most of it. Give the guy a break.

Bit of a scrappy game at times yesterday but a great three points. Usual Leeds stuff - dominated possession, squandered lots of chances with Bamford and Costa being the main culprits- and could have dropped two points at the end. Bamford is the nominated striker but isn't scoring and should take his fair share of criticism. I have not been a fan of his as a striker and there have been calls for him to be dropped. I don't agree. Who would take his place> Augustin is clearly not fit and over weight. He might come into contention for the last half dozen games - maybe not till next season. Roberts is not as good as Bamford in any way. And there is no one else. Bamford's hold up play is very good and we create more chances when he plays. Pity he can't score but then again who can? Law of averages means he is bound to get one or two soon.

Spot on Hess.

MM.

23 Feb 2020 10:46:43
Radz and orta and Bielsa at fault again when we needed impact transfers in January we got a player who wasn't fit for 90min and another who can't make the bench. Now we are still dependent on bam and Costa. Heres hoping we get away with it.

23 Feb 2020 11:00:40
Indeed Hess . by default Bambam starts next game as no better replacement available it seems

. hopefully Bambam scores against Boro . and goes one scoring run .

.
JKA needs to continue to work hard on his fitness.

23 Feb 2020 11:08:48
Ah go on I’ll say it

I like Bamford.

So does Bielsa

In an ideal world we’d still have Roofe. He was first choice and Bam the back up. We don’t.

Bamford has carried the load pretty much all season, Eddie wasn’t the right sort of player to start

You can’t just magic better players up, sometimes you have to wait. Especially with the budget restraints we operate under

We got big Kev and that’s a bit of a coup for a championship club. He’s got great potential, he’s excited at the project. Sometimes with a signing you need to look 6-12 months down the line. You should be excited at the project too

Back to bam bam

I’ll refer you to the words of the great Gary Speed

Give your best, that’s all you can do

According to a reporter “ Leeds played like men possessed “ yesterday

I’ll take that for the next 12 games and back anyone in a Leeds shirt 100%

If Bambam contributes to a promotion winning season he should be recognised accordingly.

23 Feb 2020 16:20:00
Top post that Woody, and I like BamBam too. He’d be worth a fortune if he was prolific! 🤔.

23 Feb 2020 17:04:06
Prolific I'd be happy if he just scored when it's on a plate for him.

23 Feb 2020 08:21:18
Reading manager says they deserved a draw it must be bloody good viewing on them touch lines I was only 4 seats up from pitch and reading were not good there only chance late on no point telling your players players summit you have not been is it Bowen MOT we played better second half 12 to boys girls and other l u f c fans come onnnnnn to borough we go.

23 Feb 2020 12:30:45
Was there and on the lookout for you Mick lad! Was ready to buy you one and down it in unison with you mate! But not a sharp shell suit in site fella or 4ft 10 trouble n strife, maybe for hudders! Dude?

23 Feb 2020 13:25:54
I was in there before and after the match DJ73, bit worse for wear though. Ended up on the late train back to Lincoln and fell asleep and the bread knife left me there asleep. I was woke up on an empty train by guard who sent me home in a taxi! Good day out though, maybe see you next time if I get a ticket.

Mick.
