Vs Leeds away. (Matchday thread).

[Pottig]

Do you remember when you said we didn't have to use Purple Bricks?

[RadioactiveWaste]

We've been bad, and I believe it's entirely mental, Leeds are not that much better than we have been this half.

Its a game of two halves, and for the love of God we can't get much worse, and we've only conceded one.

let's have a comeback win and irritate sky on the way.

Jansson is such a good defender ? 

He disposessed Marriott easily, then got TWO players booked off his breakaway. Holmes bounced off him ? 

Average, no better than Keogh.

Men against boys all over the place back 4 needs strengthening to maintain a playoff push..

They’ve lost their last 3 so he’s not that amazing, but we’ve made him and his team look like world beaters tonight.

They didn't deserve the 2 losses in the league by all accounts, rotated for the cup game and every team loses games, the best manager in the world at Man City lost 2 in a row as well. We've been bad, yes, but these look very good. The level of fitness of their team is incredible, they press very hard and theyre good on the ball. We look well nervous for some reason

Have to agree sadly about Lowe’s performance. Perhaps it shows how poor Scottish football is?

He had a proper left sided centre half defender alongside him and played in a settled back 5 who didnt leak goals. 

Derbys defence has been all over the place all season. 

[DcFc Dyycheee]

They are miles ahead of us as a team in every single department. Going to need a miracle this second half to even get a point. 

[Sexydadbod]

Bring Huddlestone on the pitch please, someone who can actually keep the ball

[Richard246]

Marriott can't play the lone role striker he needs help Frank to bring on Waghorn or Nugent might make leeds think

Problem is with the spending our club has done. The players on the bench Wichita is obviously only five have cost more than the eleven on the pitch. And the players that don’t even make the squad have also with Johnson, anya and buttrfirld at somewhere around £13m. What a joke of a club

What a joke of a club?! Behave.

Will they sort out this performance?

[Steve How Hard?]

It's a bonus we're only 1 down. Let's regroup and go again. We've done it before this season. So frustrating that we keep having to do. Need to be more composed on the ball but to be fair to Leeds they are making that hard to do. 

[Doodle]

3 subs isn’t enough to sort this mess out. 1 Lowe off for Bogle and move Wisdom over. 2 Bryson and Evans off for Hudds and Waghorn. Have Hudds Mount Lawrence and Holmes in midfield with Waghorn and Marriott floating around as a front 2. . The other 8 could also be subbed but rules don’t allow unfortunately 

[Mr Tibbs]

Hard to say which team had the spy motivation? 

Disappointing half to say the least, we look under prepared to face this Leeds team which is crazy considering we faced them in this vein back in August. 

Same as the Sheff United game, too easy to roll over. 

Mason Mount is starting to become a myth. Carl described him perfectly, invisible.

Just saying, if a tiny player fired into Keogh like a missile a) he'd struggle to stay standing but b) he'd flop anyway. He'd have only got one player booked.

Ergo, Jansson is twice the player ? 

[SuperDerbySuperRams]

Very poor half... but Leeds are a very good side. Hernández returning has really improved them.

Mount is sadly invisible. Holmes isn't meant to be in midfield but has shown much more, while Bryson looks the only player trying to win the ball. 

For the shot just then (yes we had a shot and it was specifically due to Lawrence not being greedy) Mount should have come back onto his right foot. 

But I might take Mason off, bring Waghorn on and move Holmes inside. 

Bryson is trying to foul I will give you that, Lawrence is useless as usual post scoring a long shot in previous game , why Carson didn't catch I have no idea , Holmes is the only one in midfield who is showing any quality,mid-season again And for the umpteenth year I think we need transfers in to rectify glaring weaknesses

 

[SKRam]

Are we allowed ten subs ?

I actually think replacing Tomori would help a hell of a lot. I imagine Lowe would do well next to an old head like Davies.
