thoughts from last night pt2

I thought the game yesterday was a good one, a draw might have been the right result but the way sport is nobody's ever sure!..

I thought the Ref did his bit to give a false result as well!..

don't understand people saying we got a reality checkwtf? really? nout wrong with a bit of bravado. all leeds fans knew / know it aint gonna be easy & staying up is our main aim this season, other teams just don't get how bad we have been for years. we are no a real football team again & playing some outstanding stuff

bring on the rest
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Reality check as in everyone has being raving about us since the Liverpool game and rightly so, but we showed last night that we are good but we still have grey areas. Just needed to be brought down to earth a bit.

You dominated the play but the issue that was there last season is still there. A top striker who can turn a game on his own is needed. I thought Rodrigo might play the role when he was signed but it looks like he isn't preferred up top on his own. This will be evident in games where teams sit back and counter. Although you'll do well against teams who have a go, due to the way you play. I still think you'll finish top half.

Just your average fan.

You are a glory supporter then?

You're on TV virtually every week in the Championship and so far in the PL, so I've seen enough.

Again, avoiding what I'm saying. Your fans glossing over what is actually happening. All this "really good football" and all this "scaring sides" doesn't mean anything.

Like I say, you will beat the 3/4 sides that are worse than you, take points off the top 6 sides because you're that sort of side and be unspectacular against the sides between 8th-14th. Like I say, a little bit like what Palace have been in the PL.

Palace scare some of the top teams to death, remember when they lost at Anfield 4-3? Or when they beat City away 3-2? They do the same, do their fans rant and rave about top 4? No.

You're overhyped, get over it.

Some of what you say may have elements of truth.

I think most fans - not everyone is on social media, so probably not wise to judge a fanbase on that measure - are pretty grounded about what to expect this season i tend to find.

The football our team play is entertaining though. The players we're signing are a step up, hugely, from recent times, i think it's reasonable for excitement to arise from that. Personally i'd take mid-table right now and staying up. The quotes you're using are from pundits - generally decent ones - who appear to like what they're seeing from our team. Not sure what points you're trying to score from your visits to these pages?

Perhaps a tad of over-excitement from fans after 16 years away, nothing wrong with that.

I think goes to show that you know what I've said is correct about your side, thanks.

I'm not having a go at Bamford (honestly!) but his first touch lets him down a lot of the time. He's invaluable for his workrate, and his ability as a poacher, but I'd like to see Rodrigo given the No 9 shirt for a few games.

I am so GUTTED to lose any game that I can't read about it or post for a good couple of three days...defeat at home is always the worst.

Thought we were playing against the Portugal national side for a minute or two at the start!

Exciting first half from us and at HT I was sure we'd break through - but Wolves played an essentially negative but canny game. Their back line did very well, notwithstanding the clear penalty that was not awarded - that would have changed the game entirely. What is VAR for anyway?

Thought Bielsa brought Raphinha on too late, that Rodrigo was anonymous, and that Poveda generated zero impact this time.

Meslier, Klich, Koch, Struijk and Ayling, however, were immense. That's very promising.

Well, we will lose games and Wolves are a good side coached by a wise old bird who successfully sussed out Bielsa.

Gutted about Phillips too.
