Bethnal

Jesus, is that what happened in the Riverside?

Not to disagree with what each of us have seen from them so far - they’ve left a lot to be desired - but many said similar of Szmodics, Diaz, Dolan, Pickering before. I have faith in our ability to improve players but it’s difficult for them to do without minutes and means more pressure on them when their opportunities are so limited

Anyway, hope the Leeds bus breaks down on the way home and they all catch a cold.

Markanday and Ennis both look hurried and panicky in possession and with neither having had many minutes recently, it makes sense.

JDT’s stopped mentioning “our fortress,” recently.

Dislike Bobby Madley so much. Face of a Spitting Image puppet, a punchable one at that. Notoriously poor referee and the reasons for his earlier, sudden departure from English refereeing should’ve seen him never referee again. He’s handed them every opportunity to stay ahead here, real example of officials being more scared of the reprisal of public discourse (Leeds fans) than their paymasters.

I see the point there, but I’m confident it’s a poor ruling, as a result of that argument. Sliding on the ground is dynamic and shouldn’t need support, making your body a bigger obstacle with the use of your arm - natural or otherwise - is gaining an unfair advantage, as far as I can tell.

Ben Rosen is the fitness coach

You’re telling me that I you do a handstand on the goal line and the ball strikes your arm to stay out, it’s not handball?

Approved.

Think Summerville has Brittain on toast. At least Hill has the physicality to hold him up.

Their wingers track back really well but they’re always in the right position to break. I don’t think Leeds have got out of second gear, here, they could definitely step it up more. 5’9 Summerville is bullying Carter and Hill out on the left.

Wahlstedt… why did he keep putting his foot on the ball like that? What is that technique? Where has he even got that from? Absolutely mental.

Back four look knackered already.

Only way Leeds are getting a sniff is through our mistakes, which have crept in through complacency, as their press has intensified. We need a lot more urgency if we’re playing out from the back, we look too ponderous for to deal with an intensified press.

Andy Moran makes three pretty bad errors in 10 seconds. Potential momentum shift moment.

This is so funny. You’ve joined an opposition fans’ forum and have been posting on it while you should be enjoying a pre-match pint with your mates near the ground. You’re 55 and reckon you look 40, “boy band material” and you’ve chosen the username “CP Company Dresser.” Fuuuuuucking hell, this is tragic.

Big news and shrewd business to get it done when we are able to, before there’s any chance of being short-changed. Credit to GB, tying down important players is important and something we seemed to have no capacity to do previously. Mark Venus has cost us millions.

Yep. Daft, really, but it’s a big part of his game, is getting booked.

I mean, that’s rich, in the circumstances. Losing 4-2 and playing poor football generally. I suppose best of luck watching your private-equity-backed football club implode with DC United’s former manager at the helm?

Never in doubt, eh?!

Need legs here and to tighten up. Results going our way, we’re in 7th. Need the momentum.

Thank you for your service

Well, this feels grim and familiar

Take no pleasure in saying that I don’t see him in the starting line-up anymore. I get why he gets put in as captain, but he’s not at the level.
