Well if you want to put your blinkers on... Fill your boots. He literally stood still and watched his man tap it in. Don’t defend him  if you can’t justify yourself!!!!!!

Never tried to defend him for that, just pointing out that you seem to be missing a major part of the goal in your analysis. Watching that goal it’s quite obvious why Lowe is getting stick. As is Keogh in this very thread.

Tomori let Roofe get in front of him 

Ah so Carson flapping when he had an easy catch and Bryon letting a teenager casually stroll past him and cross it had nothing to do with it?! ?

[Gritstone Ram]

Lowe has two who is helping him?

[Pottig]

Why is Waghorn only now coming on?

I don’t think any of the defence covered themselves in glory for the second goal. They all played some part 

Agreed. Think Keogh should be 4th in line for criticism though.

I've never understood the trend of booing an opposition player who has gone down injured

Cos fans get it in their head that it was gamesmanship, especially when theyve gone down while your team is breaking away.

I agree its awful when the player is clearly hurt etc. but I'd expect with that exact scenario happening for the opposition at PP the Derby fans would be booing Holmes too, he clearly WAS kicked in the face but in real time it didn't look it and there was no evidence afterwards.

 

And just to clarify, I agree Leeds are an 'orrible club.

[Mick Brolly]

Max Lowe not finding it as easy as he did against grounds keeper Willie .

[Sexydadbod]

Why’s he taken Marriott off? Wrong decision Frank, wrong decision 

[QuitYourJibbaJivin]

There’s no cohesion going forward when we actually get the ball because we’ve made that many changes to people positions nobody knows what’s going on.

There's nobody in that midfield who likes a pass. Pacesetter to keep the ball moving and create chances.

 

God I miss Will Hughes. He's exactly what we need.

Huddlestone, Butterfield, Thorne.

@Carl Sagan... yes next goal vital but what worries me is regardless of individual bits and bobs, Leeds look faster, better passers, better at anticipating. We are so off it as a unit it’s painful

next goal could change that .. get one and the mental balance changes. Concede and we are deservedly stuffed

[Parsnip]

We could do with a goal really. That's what i think.

[North East Ram]

Marriott has done nothing wrong except play in a team where the tactics don’t suit him.

Just need midfielders to actually show and want the ball, there's a reason we're always forced long or players are trying to win games on their own - there isn't a pass available. 

Watching Leeds they always have at least a man free ready to receive the ball so they can play through you. Our centre backs have no option out of defence, strikers have no support when they do hold the ball up.

Of course there was once that game against Birmingham when we were 2-0 up going into injury time and it finished 2-2.

Clutching at straws?

It is rather ironic that Leeds would be booing anybody for unsportsmanlike behaviour given recent events

[RadioactiveWaste]

Waghorn hat trick

I agree he's done nothing wrong, but when he's (rarely) gotten the ball the Leeds defenders have found it very easy to get it back off him. 

[AndyinLiverpool]

I have to say in mitigation that Clarke has been absolutely terrific.

[Van der MoodHoover]

Sounds like one of their best players is an 18 year old.

Whereas our young players are nowhere to be seen or heard of.

Losing is one thing. Collapsing like a spineless jelly is rank poor tho...
