Gutted, again. but fair play to SU they wanted it more. Good cohesion in their side which took a couple of attempts to get out of league 1 and their momentum is good. Now breaks my heart to say Leeds still up in the air re formations, Philips poor first half but scored, defense yet again a different pairing, Lassogga completely ineffective, Anita out of his depth totally outplayed, Vieraaaaaaaaaa good game but O'kane too easily shrugged off ball. Would have brought Dallas on to curb the wingers runs and play two upfront, they played the ball out with far too much time and quickly too. Not taking teams too long to realise that if they neutralise Saiz we definitely struggle. oh and not to forget their 6 bookings. thought we the dirty ones. Had it not been for 2 or 3 world class saves it would have been embarrassing.

27 Oct 2017 23:18:58
Ayling, Pennington, Lasogga all poor tonight and Alioski just does nothing other than fall over and ask for free kicks.

28 Oct 2017 00:00:33
I thought Ayling played ok, he did get around the pitch and never stopped running, he played for the shirt, maybe not very well but he tried, other than that I agree with you matey!

28 Oct 2017 00:06:31
Can't knock Ayling for his effort at all, just not one of his better games tonight sadly. Gave the ball away a lot and also caught out for the 2nd goal in the same way he was for Barrow's goal against Reading. He's usually Mr Reliable so can't be too harsh on him.

28 Oct 2017 09:13:22
Look guys. We hit the post and should have had a penalty for the pull on Pennington so on another day it could have been 3_2 to us

28 Oct 2017 10:57:29
Well done Martyn; first positive review I've read! Thought Saiz was very good again tonight, and Lonners was outstanding with his shot stopping. Regarding SU, apart from Sharp, I can't say I knew anything about any of their team, but their gaffer has them playing some very good football, and he says they were off their game last night! I still see us being in the mix by the end of the season tho.

27 Oct 2017 22:19:51
One word carp out played, tonight TC not the guy to take us out of this league SW were a league one side and they were much better then us, time to think about re building in January with better players as I said at the start of the season.

27 Oct 2017 22:41:55
For a set it wasn't SW we played tonight it was SU, secondly there were a league one side who now sit top of the championship so their history in league 1 means nothin as they are clearly a very strong team in the championship the proof is in the pudding with them at the top.

27 Oct 2017 22:55:45
Nearly every post you put on you say “as I said at the start of the season”! Yes you maybe right and yes at times we have been carp not carp! We are still a work in progress to be fair and once TC sorts what is what then we will decide who is carp and who isn’t! We also got beat by Sheff Utd tonight not Sheff Wed and I would also disagree with you about all our players being carp, there has been some good performances since the start of the season which is why we are not to far away but I also agree that things need sorting out! Yes on this performance we won’t be going up but then neither did Huddersfield with Wagner in his first season, nor Brighton with Chris Houghton, nor Burnley with Shaun Dyche, this is Chris Wilders third season with Utd so if TC needs a couple of years so be it, it’s better to go up and stay up instead of going up and straight back down! Work in progress Whiteman, you will see. MOT

27 Oct 2017 23:32:15
It's baffling how we gone from a team that was playing with energy and skill, to a team that looks lightweight and lacking in confidence. Who is to blame? Is it that maybe TC isn't a very good coach or is it that our Victor orta has brought more duds than hits. Saiz looks the best of the bunch we brought in this season. Felix, grot are poor, Swedish forward not even trusted with much game time and Alioski's form has tailed off. Time for a Rethink on the recruitment front.

28 Oct 2017 07:54:32
Woody69 ok mate I will put a bet on us going up in 2022 them, and ok spelling mistakes made but that my old phone doing its best far better then last night, for me you get what you paid for and fully understanding tha Raz is doing his very best, and is the best we have had in a long time, but we need quality and sorry to say we don’t have it,

28 Oct 2017 07:59:19
Daveyg it wasn’t SET it’s start mate see you just as bad as me mate,

28 Oct 2017 09:24:04
That's an autocorrect from a phone you stated a completely wrong team bit of a difference!

28 Oct 2017 13:09:58
Daveyg the team needs it

27 Oct 2017 21:54:55
Lack of direction from the top have to question TC really lasogga awful as were many others, I know he got the goal but Phillips ain't championship quality, think TC trying to keep everyone happy needs to be more ruthless!

27 Oct 2017 22:24:08
Agree that lassoga was too static up front, couple of times he pushed too wide and waited, not even an attempt to move and make himself available. They did a good job on us and took key players out of the game. Do not agree with the comment about TC keeping everyone happy - especially me !

27 Oct 2017 22:33:25
Does TC really select who we buy? don't think so myself he is just the coach.

27 Oct 2017 21:46:10
Sadly I don't think TC is right for us at this time. You can't play your way out of this league, you battle the way out, and he has no experience of doing such. That is exactly why SU have beaten us tonight. Gutted.

27 Oct 2017 21:45:38
I know I always get plenty of disagrees but I have to say su played us off the park tonight, we are getting hugely exposed at left back, and we don't have a number 9,it's embarrassingly easy for the opposition centre backs. you can't sell 22 mil pounds worth of talent. wood/Taylor and replace with Anita/beradi . lassoga/grot. it shows in the big games. we have looked good against the lower half the league but we have been ruthlessly exposed by the better teams so far.

27 Oct 2017 21:38:51
Too lightweight. Fair result

27 Oct 2017 21:52:14
Over 30mins without an attemt at goal say's it all.

27 Oct 2017 21:55:21
100% speedy. Too easy knocked off the ball. That man lassoga is shocking. Change off formation and forwards is needed desperately. one big useless man up front is carp. Then he brings another useless big man on too ( grot ) Loads off work to do. 1-1 at half time was a bonus. Should have berm 3 down. So to lose it wasn't a surprise. I'm just so cheesed off with some players and TC and his selection at times. Fuming at the minute tbh.

27 Oct 2017 21:57:33
A lot of running around Speedy but no direction, no skill or power up front! No foresight, no idea especially when we have the ball, it’s going to take another season me thinks, and a few transfer markets! Lasogga not worth the £50,000 per week he’s apparently jointly being paid, Grot and him just look like to big slabs of weak pee up front! Lonergan played really well and deserves his place, I thought Dallas might of got a game as I think he would of loved to score for his Mum. There’s just nothing there, worryingly we are starting to look like last seasons team, we just have no plan B, players come on and TC moves a couple of players sideways, then for ten minutes we come alive then we go back to normal, it looks like we’ve had a cheap fix, with a comedown! It’s not working! MOT

27 Oct 2017 22:00:04
Bang on Speedy sorry to say. SU played like we all want Leeds to play. Lassoga is like Chris Wood on a bad day.

27 Oct 2017 22:02:57
No complaints identical winner to the reading game scores level bring on a sub and game over very disappointed too lightweight and can not see things getting better

27 Oct 2017 22:24:32
Woody what did I say at the start of the season carp players won’t get you out of this league and I think Iam right,

27 Oct 2017 21:34:48
Anyone think we were better without lassoga

27 Oct 2017 21:56:24
Oooooo yessssss by far. ! 👍👍👍👍

27 Oct 2017 22:01:10
Did he play

27 Oct 2017 22:01:58
yes. me.

27 Oct 2017 21:21:39
Really impressed with RV's attitude and work ethic tonight!

28 Oct 2017 11:12:33
Yep, one of the very few players who were worthy of the shirt tonight. Saiz and Lonners were up there too!

27 Oct 2017 20:32:03
What about Lonergan Wex! 100 times better than Felix! So disappointed about how many times Ayling has the ball and can’t release it as no one is wanting the ball MOT

27 Oct 2017 20:38:03
Ayling is passing the ball to feet every time, a Sheffield United foot! Only O'Kane playing anything like his best. Lazysogga needs to buck his ideas up.

28 Oct 2017 11:14:41
Over the full 90, I thought O Kane had one of his worst showings for Leeds yet.

27 Oct 2017 19:50:41
What have the lonergan lovers to say about that

27 Oct 2017 20:33:44
Your off your head Wex! One mistake and three super saves equals why he is in goal and not Felix the mishap! MOT

27 Oct 2017 20:40:04
Lonergan was at sea for the goal if it was felix he'd be slaughtered

27 Oct 2017 20:44:58
I’d say Lonners has kept us in the game, to be fair they’ve been the better team, energy levels on a different level hoping they’re going to tire second half. Think our home support will be the deciding factor tonight, think our magnificent support will lift the team second half and I’m going for 3-2 Leeds

27 Oct 2017 21:33:50
FFS Wex, if Lonergan did the same mistakes game after game after game then he will be slaughtered as well! Sometimes Wex you just don’t get what’s going on!

27 Oct 2017 21:59:06
Longers kept the score down to 2. Would have been 4/5 if Felix in nets as he doesn't leave his line. Some people. 🙈🙈😂👍⚽️

28 Oct 2017 11:19:04
Our defensive play was at fault for both of their goals, and most of their opportunities. Had it not been for Lonners it could have been a rout!

27 Oct 2017 18:31:36
Pennington to score first Leeds to win 3 nil

27 Oct 2017 04:48:03
Looks like 3 at back. Prob Long. Coop. Shaun. Pontus. Ayling. Dallas. Phillips. Viera. Roofe. Saiz. Lassonga.

27 Oct 2017 09:29:00
I think it'll be, Lonners, Ayling, penns, coops, Pontus, Alioski (plays there for his country) , viera, O'Kane, Phillips (in a more advanced position) , Saiz, Lasogga. That team will start vs Sheffield .
