Leeds United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2020/2021

Kingp35

Complete disaster. We were utterly clueless. So many nothing crosses. Wigan deserved the win. Absolutely gutted.

10000maniacs

Full time, you would swear Wigan have won something by the way they are celebrating.;)

Lamper.sffc

Absolutely bottled it:mad:

I'm going to try fast-forward to the "still lots of football to be played" stage with many beers and bbq meats

F**k sake

We need to hammer in 4 against Brentford on Monday.

Eggs For Dinner

No composure and kept doing the same thing over and over. Delivery has been poor all season

stryker mcqueen

I normally defend harrison but my god he was awful today , bielsa should have withdrawn him for his own good , also in my opinion the double sub at half time was rash and premature , missed pen , hit the post twice and I missed our goal as my 4 year old needed a slash , just a crappy day overall

Private Joker

Folks, this is typical Leeds . If anyone thought that we'd have an easy run they were deluded . SNAFU as always. It's out of our hands now.

Howard Wilkinson summed it up a few weeks ago when asked about the current Leeds side, careful not to step on anybody's toes but he said.

A lot of teams in the Championship trying to play like Manchester City but don't have Aguero or De Bruyne, a lot of teams playing their way to the attacking third but then the key to unlocking the box isn't there. And games are put at risk because of that.

Jesus, what a clever man. It was a downward spiral when he left.

Wilkinson was one dour manager but his tactics worked to perfection in the era between 89 and 92. Functional centre halves, flying full backs, a midfield divided between a tough tackler and a passer, fast wingers and the big guy / small guy up front. Think the game has moved on.

Flew to London from California to watch brentford game on Monday, I thought there was a good possibility we could be securing promotion if everything went to plan yesterday and Monday, boy was I wrong

I'm too young to remember the Colchester defeat or the Jeff Astle goal. I can remember the Charlton playoff defeat in 1987 after Sheridan scored in the 99th minute. But Leeds have had some list of calamitous results over the years.

And if they miss out on promotion, yesterday will be in the top 10...

It'll be number 1 , I was at the game yesterday and in the first few mins ayling got the ball and hoofed it down the line and I had a feeling it was gonna be one of those days because that is so rare under bielsa

I've been following the Club for over 46 years and the first major kick in the teeth I remember was Sunderland in '73. I'd have to say that yesterday was as choked as I can remember feeling in a long, long time. A devastating loss.

I remember it well, last Friday was nearly as bad. The first of 4 must win games against a poor team with 10 men for most of the game and we did a no show. I was afraid to post in here for fear of being banned, utterly disgusted is putting it mildly.

Behind the scenes look at the club at 11am on BBC Radio 5.

purple hands

One bright spot. Not as good as the Ayling-Berardi-Jansson-Bartley chant but still stuck in my head since Friday

Have we managed to best any team who decided to "park the bus" ? Brum and QPR come to mind

Mushy

Still annoyed at Fridays game.

Now to go through it all again

Shlippery

It's going to be a long day.

Best of luck lads, hope yous make it back up. I'll never forgive that Yeboah goal though.

Ah sure maybe next year

Sheffield United 3-0 up at half time. To have any chance now will surely need three wins in a row and even then it is unlikely.

Desperately disappointing!

10000maniacs

I think the Wigan game did it for us. I am still baffled and annoyed.
Leeds a goal up CHECK
Playing at Elland Road CHECK
Wigan down to 10 men CHECK
Wigan are mediocre and fighting to stay in the division. CHECK
We probably don't deserve it after that ****show.

GoldFour4

Still keeping faith that Sheffield will slip up away to Stoke last game of season. That’s assuming we take care of our own business which is a big ask

DoctaDee

Very hard to define a season over 46 games but Wigan @ home and QPR away were the standout defeats for me ... can't see anything other than the playoffs now and I'd be surprised if we get the better of Villa for that 3rd place

Mushy

Bamford should have shot earlier there. Ref should needs to be demoted before half time though, that's a shocking call

Q_Ball

Playoffs here we come

Ceist_Beag

I can't see us winning another game at the minute never mind promotion. Thoroughly depressed

purple hands

Bah.

Playoffs then. A chance to exorcise the ghosts of Watford or, more likely, gloriously implode again.

There's three teams in the playoffs who will want to play Leeds right now

The home loss to Sheff Utd was huge.

GoldFour4

Woeful

purple hands

You're killing me Leeds

Kingp35

Really poor again. No cutting edge up front. I think our lack of signings in January has cost us. We were crying out for a good striker but didn't get one.

Brentford more likely to score again here than us scoring

Bielsa's subs have not helped the situation

True - but I'd personally balance the scales with our fortuitous win away ..

I think the defeat against QPR was a bigger result. That was a match that should have been a guaranteed 3 points, and it turned out to be Steve McLaren's only win in 15 games in charge there. Those three points would have given us a little bit of leeway should we struggle like we have this game and the last, but we never had the luxury of that cushion.

quarryman

Anyone want a couple of tickets for the Villa game? Have zero interest in going now. Flights and hotel booked for what almost certainly going to be a dead rubber now.

stryker mcqueen

We all would have laughed if someone told us 0 points from 6 over Easter ...what the feck has happened

The Daniel James saga was a huge factor, they land him and they would have gone up.

Is it me or do teams always seem to end a bad run against Leeds.

Your niece still has an Easter egg left? She's doing it wrong!

Well in QPR's case they just interrupted a bad run with a win against Leeds. But you're right, it seems that you can generally count on a team going through a bad patch to get something against us.

I think Leeds are a reactionary side. I would reckon we hold the record in the division for going behind in matches. When we do claw it back we say well done but more often than not we don't. Not good enough in this division and here we are.

championc

This team hasn't the bottle to get through a playoff semi never mind a final.

NuckChorris1

Let Bielsa send out the u23 team for last two fixtures and take the first team off for a hardcore training session like he did for international breaks. We came back from them all guns blazing.

From what I can remember. Forest, Birmigham twice, QPR, Stoke and Brentford where all on bad runs when they beat us. Could be more, cant remember though.

maximoose

Whatever about yesterday, I just can't believe we fúcked it up against Wigan. Unbelievable.

Play-offs it is then.
