Not moaning at all and delighted to be top. Just a bit concerned that we didn't wrap the game up much earlier against a very average team. As regards their goal, when we're facing a free kick, why don't we put a player or two on each post? I know that allows the other team's players the right to go into the box without being offside but surely it must make it a lot harder to score from a set piece as the box will be much more crowded and the goal line covered?

Sounds like a teensy little moanet to me! I think we made them look ordinary . They have quite a reputation for taking teams on at home and we really didn’t let them do it. Two dangerous moments. But you’re right same problem we’ve had for a bit, not burying some of the marginal chances.

Other thing teams are doing is giving our creative players a real kicking, Saiz has always been the target, today hernandez got seriously hacked a few times.

On top of that Hernadez then gets booked for kicking the ball away and Forest did that 3 times and 1 was a player already booked and nothing happened!

Now that’s moaning!

I’ll take the win and position in the table anyday

Always makes me chuckle when I hear “ yes we won, but we should have done it with more style”

A win, is a win, is a win.

They’re not given away in this league and it’s points ground out that get you promoted.

Superb Clíp available on twitter and you tube of that moment in the game where 1/ 1 became 7/ 1 within seconds as all the Leeds bodies got back and no one from Wigan arrives. Shows the determination, fitness and desire of this team. Great stuff!

Of the 8 charging back there is one in the middle going like a train. Think its Philips. A medal to all of them.

Kp best player on park today. improving game by game. we are much better playing with him in centre of a back 3.his reading of the game and timing, tackling, passing and space he creates is unbelievable compared to last season. if only we had a proper striker!
Lets stay at the top now.
Cheers lads.

But can Ngolo Pirlo Phillips perform when the heat is truly on? For instance, when a South London plagiarizing playwright intensifies an illogical criticism steeped in utter stupidity? KP might go to pieces then.

05 Nov 2018 07:16:05
I think said playwright is deep in thought and pre tattoo contemplation!

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Nov 2018 11:03:03
Dallas’ stats for the game are also very impressive! But KP for me again!

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Nov 2018 12:22:21
I think the compliment for Dallas is that not too mAny people moaning about him after the game. He just got on with it and sometimes moving forward, it was easy to forget his position on the day. That has to be a compliment. They didn’t seem to be concentrating on him either but perhaps we just didn’t let them!
Bigger test to come against West Brom but well done to him for getting his head down and playing where he is asked!

Agree1 Disagree0

Dunno what the crowd was, there was a lot of empty seats, 4500ish from Leeds, so, no noise must be s*y and their infamous "noise dampener"

Time to have a look at Blackman. Too many mistakes from pbf.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 16:54:16
Top of the league, 2nd lowest number of goals conceded, I wouldn’t imagine it’s bielsas style to change the goalie!

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 17:12:59
Realistically we should not over credit BPF for low level of goals against us, as this is mainly due to opponents not getting many chances to have a pop at us. I would give Blackman a shot, as several of the few goals against us have come from BPF's cock ups.

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 18:09:54
Can't see Bub dropping BPF, the mistakes he's made have been ones you could expect from a young keeper.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 18:44:37
I agree, although BPF is young and learning he is making some costly fundamental mistakes. At the moment he seems to have a weakness with positioning and puts players under pressure with some of the short passes he plays.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 19:52:42
A tough decision to make. Bailey making quite a few errors and if he was more experienced everyone would say drop him.
I’ve only seen Blackman play a couple of times last year and he looked impressive but not sure is he good playing our from the back which is key for bielsa?

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 20:14:23
He’s a young goalkeeper and a permanent member of the squad, he’s learning from everything. Unless it looks like his confidence is shot, don’t think Bielsa will make that change.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Nov 2018 07:31:16
Hit the nail on the head there cork. he’s not very comfortable at all with the ball at his feet, that wouldn’t really matter at most teams but the style Biesla wants to play it’s imperative the keeper can distribute comfortably with both feet.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 16:14:03
A bit of a tangent i know, but apparently the Bielsa buckets are now available in the club shops for a mere £80 each. WTF? I would have thought that half of that was squeezing enough out of the faithful.

Luckily I can’t volunteer to do the sniff test because I’ve nothing to compare it with!

At times we had the Arsenal disease, want to score the perfect goal. It's nice to watch the tici-taci football but at at times you are screaming, just shoot!

Believable1 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 16:28:41
Or take the player on in the box and see if we can draw a foul and get a penalty.
Have to have variety to keep defenders guessing.

04 Nov 2018 17:58:17
Get a penalty? 54 games now since the last one :)

Eeeeeee I were only a lad last time I saw Leeds get a penalty

Some kids today don’t believe we ever got one.

Kalvin Phillips man of the match. Only against Wigan though so probably shouldn't count :)

Believable5 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 15:55:51
Is that Bermondsey signed on as Notts! I hear Bermondsey has cancelled his sky membership . He was watching the game with Wigan fans and they all agreed Phillips was rubbish and Alioski scared the Wigan defense to death!

Good display from Ngolo Pirlo 😁.

04 Nov 2018 16:31:14
Hernandez for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 16:56:58
And probably for me, he’s just sheet class, usually has a hand somewhere in the good stuff we do. Today scored one and made one! But Douglas as well, had a good game. We really miss those two.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 15:50:42
Respect to Wigan manager Paul Cook, he said it how it was with praise for our style of flowing football and that we deserved to win the game. First time the opposition manager has been gracious to say it how it was rather than Leeds were lucky. Great result to beat a team on their own ground where they have been unbeaten for so long, and to deserve the result. Let's push on now Leeds!

A good 3 points but when will the goals reflect the possesion? Hate to bring it down a bit but we only won thro a gift.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 15:54:13
I feel the same. It is if we hit them on the break occasionally, but breaking from our own possession rather than theirs. I worry about not enough goals, but then look at our goal difference - it is a slightly odd scenario.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 15:58:03
Poachers goal, he still had to be there. Makes up for all the goals of the season that don’t quite come off!

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 15:38:03
I think that is a very important victory for us in a tough place to win, particularly in Whelan last game as owner. Also we won it whilst holding Saiz and Clarke in reserve. Dallas ok in his defensive role. Looked pretty comfortable but would always like us to have a 2 goal advantage! Those three points give us a bit of security for next week. We can go for it next week and make a point. Well done boys, proud of you all.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 15:56:39
Did well against a team missing at least 4 attackers.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 16:15:19
Can only beat the team put in front of you, regardless of what players they put out. We can all use the excuse about missing players. 3 points for a win regardless.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 15:36:09
Some of of our possession and passing was sublime to watch, I just wish we were more clinical in the last third. Take away the 'gimme' goal and it's a draw albeit we outplayed them.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Happy days again. Well deserved win that one. Hard to pick man of the match but IMO Pablo Foreshaw and Dallas all played really good in an otherwise good team performance.

HT Post - Can we take out set pieces in football? Lol.
We would be 10pts clear and have conceded only about 3 goals! It gives teams hope that if they defend well there is always an opportunity against us via set pieces. Also I think BPF set his wall up at the wrong side. c'mon Leeds a big 45 now!

Believable1 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 14:25:16
Story of the season really, helping the opposition with a chance, gave away a foul in a dangerous position and fail to defend the set piece. After that dominating possession and enough chances to be winning. Carved them apart for the equaliser and should be able to do that again in the second half. Really need to win this one.

Why was bailey near on the opposite post instead off middle off net for that free kick. ? Keepers error there.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

04 Nov 2018 14:27:59
Because he has a wall!
Can't see this game finishing with 22 or no penalties (obviously not for us) with Garner on.
Reminds me of Bobby Davison.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2018 17:26:45
He was still too far over to the opposite post. He had off been more central he would have got it. Walls don’t always do their job. As showed. 🤦‍♂️⚽️.

Dallas right back, now there's a surprise, Forshaw starts. Clarke, Harrison, Baker, Roberts and Shackleton join Blackman on the bench. Good to see Forshaw getting more game time. Clarke and Saiz to impact from the bench if needed. Shackleton the defensive cover.

He is just doing what the majority of players in his position do, he is in the position of strength that his form is good and higher division clubs are showing interest and can offer more . There is no loyalty in football apart from us fans we need to except it. We've been here before with Taylor, Wood, Byram, Cook etc, Part and parcel of football.
