Same old, same old really, second best overall but thanks to our solid defence, a bit of luck and opponents who wasted most of their chances, 3 valuable points. That might sound like a complaint but it isn't, in this league it's all about getting results and moving on. Team spirit counts for an awful lot and we have that in spades. Playing Dallas and Doukara means we're playing 2 defensive midfielders with 2 wide men who GM thinks will help out at the back, which is why we tend to get pinned back as there is only Pablo and Woody to give us a way out, apart from hitting teams on the break. Frustrating to watch but effective and after the last few years, I'm sure we'd all take it.

Spot on appraisal of the tactics Mark

Afternoon chaps. First. Wow mr wood. Great first goal. I take it all back. Over this season you have got better and better and since christmas have turned into a prolific striker. Welldone sir and long may it continue. I disagree with above post. Its not effective and our defense isn't solid. We were lucky.

Fulham will not be as kind. Pont and beradi were both a bit iffy today. Bridcutt was atrocious. He needs to be dropped. Gave the ball away heaps. Is always passing back and outting defence under pressure. Phillips made a positive diff. I think vierra and phillips and kane should be chosen from now on.

Not bridcutt. For all their graft. Dallas and douks ineffective. Hernandez was awful too. Well done fed on first goal. Good one too. Too much passing around at the back. We need to move ball forward quicker which means roofe or barrow or if need be sacko instead of dallas or douks. Neither are cery good at beating players

could not agree more Aus, we were watching the same game. We were lucky against a very poor team. A good defence don't let 22 chance happen although they were good chance how we defended them. we need taylor so much douks and dalls not good enough certainly together. Phillips was a game changer yesterday, i moaned when monkl brought him on he then changed game and even the mrs said he was mustard yesterday same with ped who is a game winner and needs to play more . disagree with bridcutt to an extent normally very good but yeterday below par that said he had no one decent around himuntil phillps come on as pablo yesterday was as bad as my nan.

04 Mar 2017 12:21:47
argee aus 100% apart from bridcutt not great last night altough assist was prem class but normally very good. pablo was also a joke last night but is quailty think two good players had bad night as oppose to not being good also until phillips come on birdcut wasnt working with much. also note for ped what a player he looks?

03 Mar 2017 22:22:50
missed 1st half as thought we were on tomorrow. Have to be a bit negitive, brum are pony yet should of won, we are clinical and in the end it was good but. a playoff team would of been maybe 3-0 by that point and that is what worries me. wood can not drop in form or else we are in trouble and we have to play better against better teams in playoffs because let's be honest that is where we will be. Same old moan but dallas and douk not good enough to win the playoffs hopefully ped who is mustard will play more no as we need more in playoffs, also how poor was pablo? worse perfomance i have seen from anyone in ages and he is a great player. Pluses win when playing bad and grinding out win negivites we don't look like we have a chance of playoofs against good teams. but another master stokre from monk in the end.

also sorry if I missed this why is taylor not back read he would be back, is he still injured? just need to know how much longer I have to wrongly moan about berardi

03 Mar 2017 22:47:37
Taylor's probably not back because he's a clown

03 Mar 2017 23:11:56
I didn't say clown ed has used editorial privilege

{Ed007's Note - We'll have none of that language during Lent. :-D

04 Mar 2017 00:10:03
Maybe because beradi is the long term future and Taylor has said he's off for definate

04 Mar 2017 08:30:55
taylor is class and could be the difference in playoffs between prem and championship, so what if he is going like beckford get us up and leave and all will be forgiven.

leeds fans have tinted glasses, even the analysis tonight said best cb pairing in league in fact aling bartley and pontus all excelent meaning beridi is weak link now if they see it and i see it other play off team managers will see it they will focus on attacking beridi and we will concede he just ain't playoff good so bring taylor back please then we have best defence in league as green is playing very well now.

04 Mar 2017 11:26:02
Not doubting Taylor's ability just his attitude

04 Mar 2017 12:09:48
For me Berardi is good, and deserves credit for his efforts, but to some extent I'm starting to agree BW. Taylor is the best LB in the league we must use him and get him
Up to speed before the play offs. All I can say is that i'm excited to see who monk picks, and what he's really made of when it comes down to who's strongest.

04 Mar 2017 12:24:13
agree wex but it is better than beckfords and he is still loved, i don't get the diffence? why is taylor barrated yet beckford idolised? beckford attitude stunk and i saw that first hand with my own eyes. my personal view is do anything to get taylor back in team as he will be as important to us as becks was if we are to go up

03 Mar 2017 22:05:30
Said a couple of weeks ago we needed to bring Phillips back in, as he drives from midfield and he changed the game for us today. Too much backwards and sideways passing, no one prepared to push on. Glad to see Pedraza get a goal too, hope he gets more of a chance. He's more clinical than Dallas and Sacko.

03 Mar 2017 22:28:42
Agreed Phillips was instrumental in us getting our second goal

04 Mar 2017 02:40:35
Ahh, but that pass to KP from the Douk was also class

04 Mar 2017 07:58:17
Totally agree, SG, Phillips provided much needed energy, enthusiasm and as good as the pass from the Douk was it was Phillips willingness to drive into the box and break their back line. Certainly confirmed my belief that it has to be Okane OR Brudcut with a. n. other. On a side note very exciting to think of Ped and Charlie playing regularly together 👍

{Ed025's Note - love it lucas.. :)

03 Mar 2017 22:17:54
In the temple of wood, shine like thunder. In the temple of wood, cry like rain. In the temple of wood, hear my calling. In the temple of wood, hear my name. Sad middle aged rocker I am, can you tell? Come on lads, a new chant? Good old fashioned Leeds band also.

03 Mar 2017 21:42:00
Wooooop. Get in. Thank you Alf. We're in the money. Lol ⚽⚽⚽👍💷💷💷

03 Mar 2017 21:39:12
Chris Wood is rubbish, should have scored a hatrick eh Ausman

03 Mar 2017 21:30:15
Automatic promotion anyone

03 Mar 2017 21:44:07
Nope, but thanks for the offer

03 Mar 2017 21:48:02
Not playing like that

03 Mar 2017 22:04:25
Get a grip speedy you have to win ugly and we can do that no problem

03 Mar 2017 21:03:54
Yes we're 4th, yes we're scoring goals, but we've been figured out. our midfield just isn't strong enough. the formation doesn't have any defensive depth

03 Mar 2017 21:21:37
And you're still complaining?

03 Mar 2017 21:24:51
We scored and just sat deep and have invited brum on . their possession was always going to bring a goal . whenever we had ball we gave it away. We then scored again thankfully quickly after them submit to give them the momentum but now we are letting them come on too us again. Just hold the ball and don't fanny about at the back. c'mon Leeds. Take a 2-1 win but my prediction was 3-1 and wood 1st goal. 👍⚽⚽⚽

03 Mar 2017 21:37:41
Lucas I'm not it complaining, it's an observation

03 Mar 2017 22:10:38
When your done observing curahee you can start eating your words

03 Mar 2017 22:24:23
I hope I do, I really do. I will be the first to admit I'm wrong if needs be. Wood
Gets us out of so much trouble! if I wasn't for him we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are

03 Mar 2017 19:48:44
Sacko not starting. ? Wonder why after his last outing. ? O yes. ! He was rubbish. 1-3. Wood first goal. 👍⚽⚽⚽

03 Mar 2017 13:09:42
Carrick to possibly retire. He would definitely do a job for us. Championship or Premier.
