SEASON OVER

bit bemused here by the new jonty who blamed everything last couple years on cellino as he was either crazy, corrupt or naive, yet hero worships Radz who can do no wrong in his book yet he has to be most naive owner we have ever had for trusting orta and giving out stupid contracts to poor players and it looks as if TC is suffering from the same and refuses to learn. Think the rest of the season is gonna be a struggle unless these guys all man up and show a bit of fighting spirit for themselves,their team mates and for LEEDS UNITED but most of all for the BEST FANS IN THE WORLD. even the constant moaners.
MOT

Well said Potatoe.

Second half showed the players are with TC.

We need better players.

Frustration is one thing, giving up is another.
I can understand the first, but the second is not an option IMO.

Positives from that crazy game today:

Lasogga does have some fire in his belly and has his scoring boots back on.

New LB seemed to do a job in a high-intensity match.
Roofe was a handful.

The team can play well when they play attacking football.

Negs:
Viera. Just plain useless today. Maybe back in the team too quickly because of Saiz & OKane?

Defence looked a bit "keystone cops" at times today.

We didn't start the game with the same fire that we had in the second half. Surely there's a way to ignite them from the start?

TC tried to pretend to be a premiership manager and close up shop for the last 15 minutes when he should have left things as they were. With 10 days to the next fixture, he could and should have let Roofe & Lasogga or at the very least one of them run to the end.

Jonty and co. get a grip, if we can't beat teams like Millwall at home

>>>>>>>>>

We were dire first half. DIRE.

Second half was potentially, a turning point for this team. They proved to themselves (and me/us), they have fire in their collective bellies. Exceptional effort. Unlucky to conceed the third and fourth.

Dead right Batty

I'll admit that at half-time I was ready to throw in the towel, thought we were more likely to end up in a relegation scrap than challenging for promotion .. ( we still need seven or eight points to be sure of safety, and after 46 minutes it looked as though we might be on the point of complete disintegration ).

But that was some comeback in the second half, came within an ace of a miracle win. Even La Sogga showed signs of life .. to the tune of two nicely struck shots, anyway
De Bock looks a fine acquisition.
Saiz will eventually be back from suspension.
Ekuban, who I rate more highly than most on here, it seems, will eventually be fit again.
Stuart Dallas is back.
Forshaw should shore things up nicely in midfield, for sure.
TC is learning fast. Nice guy, bright guy, stick with him.
All is not lost ( yet ). Keep the faith

Ellando I think your comments come from extreme disappointment but I am not going to join in the berating you.you feel what you feel.I am sure you won't be giving up.

Moving on.Need to regroup, get the new guys bedded in to team and fight back into that top 6

We conceeded because TC wanted us to sitt back and protect the lead

Lasogga was knackered and Roofe asked to come off. How is that TC’s fault?

We didn’t start that bad but fell away in midfield again. I repeat - Lasogga was knackered and Roofe asked to come off for the same reason.

Things are going against us atm but it can change quickly. That was some second half and proves the players can do it and that they are behind TC.

If we show the same togetherness for the next 18 games we will win more than we lose I’m sure.

Our heads drop and we fall apart big time when we go behind. Our midfield is nowhere near good enough for top 6

Our heads drop and we fall apart big time when we go behind.

So how exactly do you explain that second half comeback from 0-2 to 3-2 then....
