I'm out until someone hangs the @#/? or they sell up. Exactly same as me... let myself get involved coz I love the club... so many happy memories over the years and then having to deal with this dross. Don't have a problem with being in League One. Don't have a problem with Burnley beating us. I have a huge problem with the owners, the players and the attitude. It doesn't matter to any of them. It's the fans who care.

matt83 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Entirely predictable result. Scoreline less than I anticipated. My heart sank when I saw the draw and this is why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDRover Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Sounds like we lost without even a whimper...the manager and players should hang their heads in shame. I'll bet there were still those who applauded them off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate losing this game too and tried to play it down in my own mind, but to no avail. At half time, two nil down, I feared a mauling. Much as I hate that, I would certainly have hated it more had they git another couple. Scant consolation right now, but as you say, entirely predictable.

Irishrover213 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Men against boys samuel and Bennett added a bit in the 2nd half but we don't have the quality brady destroyed Williams. Bradys a seasoned international. If we use tonight as a learning experience build on mistakes and go again on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if I can stomach watching the EFL highlights on terrestrial TV I'll have a better look. Doesn't count as a shot on target either. ZERO FFS! I thought we'd lose this game, but I expected us to have a better go at it than I saw. Not having the skill is one thing (we are 3rd division after all) - but the lack of fight is unforgivable.

Baz Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Well Antonsson can't play up front on his own, and was only marginally less anonymous with Samuel. Too many long hoofs, too many passengers, too little quality. Chapman showed glimpses, and we kept it to 2, that's the only positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Somerset Rover Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Shocker from Tony despite the gulf in quality. That's 3 out of 4 matches in which he's selected the wrong personnel and set-up. Antonsson up top on his own - every Leeds fan said not to do so when we brought him in, yet he leaves him there on his own for 60+ minutes with balls being zipped to his nose. Just don't think the bloke is learning. Badly needs a victory on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aletheia Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Let’s assess. Spineless, bereft of ideas, talent, know how, leadership and pride. (Bardsley’s tackle was an instant red all day long.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted August 23, 2017 Backroom Share Posted August 23, 2017 It was ultimately a PL side facing a L1 side, and judging from the first three games not a particularly good L1 side either. It could have been a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Too many mice at the club, on and off the pitch unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverCanada Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Kinda felt sorry for Mulgrew looking for options when he had the ball (if he sticks around and can take care of most free kicks, it also brings the Wittingham signing into question... he was pretty anonymous). He was pretty poor in the air though. Made me miss having Duffy or Hanley back there authoritatively winning headers. Ward seems like he'll get exposed on any play, though i'm not entirely negative about him yet given he had a strong finish last season. Williams isn't as good at dribbling as he thinks he is. Caddis had some bright patches, but he's hardly a standout. Antonsson didn't seem capable of anything out there... Gladwin may be able to pull off some tricks against lesser opposition, but he was pretty badly exposed tonight. Can't win s*** in the air either. Chapman made some moves at least. Samuel, Bennett, and Conway (albeit he's just not the same player anymore) added a bit of attacking nous at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
