Latibeaudaire looks like someone who can handle himself , didn't mess about and stood toe to toe with them

Very fortunate but will take that. Leeds are a very good side with some absolutely rapid players. The lads worked really hard, and a mix of some poor finishing, good defending and great saves kept us in it second half. Good point.


The game at the Ricoh Is gonna be tasty.

Is that Eccles and Sheaf out suspended now?

Make the fight a bit fairer, let Leeds have another two players. Love Lati after this.

I’d back Clive and Oggy against the Leeds comms

Was it just pure ignorance and arrogance, “roll over, we’re Leeds United”?

Oh, and btw. Please end this ridiculous behaviour.

One kept saying ‘see ya’ whenever a Leeds player dribbled. The other would go ‘FINALLY’ when the ref gave them a decision, ignoring the ridiculous calls the other way.

Fans were shouting for EVERYTHING, I’m sure you heard. Entitled pricks done my head in.

My mate a Leeds fan singled him out for some praise after the game View attachment 32846

And apparently, Leeds paid £36m for that Rutter and we moan about what we paid for Wright and Simms.

Is that Kasey with the sign?

 

[itsabuzzard]

Agreed. Fucking photographers

And that bloke doing his Tai Chi on the pitch?

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

A top 6 club doesn’t take all the creativity out the team and park the bus. A lot of you are totally deluded to where we’re at. Last season has gone, stop living off that. Look where we are in the league that us. Stop pipe dreaming.

Seriously take a sense check and have a day off. Not so long ago this club was in L2 and heading to oblivion.

After losing 2 incredible players in the summer - we are now very close to achieving real momentum in the Championship. Again.

If you can't enjoy the journey and where we are at, where we are going - go and support some random team in the Prem. You will not be missed.

Its a wum account mate. Not worth getting worked up about

 

[tommy hutch legend]

People are acting like Robins is a tactical genius, his game management, substitutions and formations have lost us countless games. One lucky point doesn’t change that people are blind.

Ok kenny

gotcha CVD and thank you. There's so much complete nonsense on here - almost impossible to identify at times.

 

[skyblue_55]

A really good week to be a skyblue .
I think with a little more luck , we could have come away with 6 points , but am I being greedy?
We at last look like a team moving forward & with a change in personnel today , the replacements, Lati especially, shows how versatile he is & a great addition.
With Robins holding back players today , a stronger line up against Sunderland will I’m sure , give us another away win
PUSB

In terms of the hard lads - Thomas and Kitching will not stand back, Bids will silently not take prisoners and who isn't enjoying this new version of Kasey as someone looking for aggro - never though I would say this but KP doesn't look out of place as an enforcer. What a day!

Just spoke to a mate Leeds fan who was at the game said the city fans we're great the best they've had in years outsung all game

It’s not really fair gloating about winning the singing contest when they hardly speak English

 

[RegTheDonk]

fair, but I’d differentiate for some between mentality and expectation, I don’t expect we will get promoted this season, and like you I think we will be top half, possibly 10, and if things go our way after January maybe a late push

I would however hope that, despite realising this season will be difficult / different, the mentality is still there that we can beat anybody on our day - I honestly think that’s a big part of what is driving Ipswich at the minute, they have no ‘superstars’ but always look like they are going to blow teams away because they all believe they will

They were disappointed with their draw with Norwich today, which in the scheme of things is a good result but they don’t see it that way

hope that makes sense

Had to chuckle 5 Live calling it "the old farm derby".

Under a lot of pressure for a fair bit of the game but mentally we didn't crumble, especially after the equaliser. Defence held well, some cracking stops from Colins, and for Thomas to get a goal on the break rather than a set piece was eye popping. Results like this are great, not only to get something from a fancied team in their own back yard but adds to the mentally that gives them self belief and trust in Robins. All did their bit today, proud of them.

A result and performance like that will do far more for team spirit and morale than any trip to the bowling alley. Not to remind Wright of his efforts of course

 

[slowpoke]

Pleased for Bobby Thomas, written off a few weeks ago as a “shocking” signing as was Kitching both shovelling those pathetic words down throats.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Idiot losing the plot again

Hmm

Liam Kitching will be next season's captain , going to be a great player for us and will become a fans favourite

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I have to say our away support today was unreal, even outsung them when they had just scored

 

[Offhegoes]

Think Lati was peacekeeper, and did a fine job. Love how Palmer, Kitching and Thomas have that bit of edge to them.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

The bloke in the pink/purple ducked out early after giving it the big one.

The right side of our fans made some great noise. Best we've been in a while.

some good points - and I’m not necessarily meaning today in terms of negativity, he is in the main good with setting the team up tactically for what’s in front of them, but what I’m saying is if we are aiming for top six for three out of five years then perhaps sometimes we need to be a bit more fearless? One point is better than none, sometimes three is there for the taking too…

In my opinion the Jan Transfer Window may well address this

 

[procdoc]

I went out with my mate who I have a season ticket with. He’s not on this forum but I quote: ‘anyone that thinks we should set up the same way away at Leeds and expect to get a result is thick as fuck and shouldn’t watch football’
Hard to disagree, I thought JD coming in was questionable but Robins knows more than any of us put together

 

[procdoc]

Can we introduce a yawn button?

What the fuck is that clueless c**t on about?

 

[Chris1987]

…you *to* replace

although I do agree, Robins isn’t tactically naive, but we do need a shift in mentality (club, fans, etc…) if we are to be taken seriously as a top six club with a realistic promotion shot.

I did think the playoff run would’ve done it but so far it hasn’t quite carried forward

That's because the recruitment process hasn't finished yet and we simply do not have players of the necessary attributes to do what you say. It's very naive to think that we can take a game to a club with a massive parachute payment and regardless of what you say a number of premier league quality players.Time will hopefully change our approach

 

[procdoc]

On a side note, how good is Kitching? He’s unreal

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Anyone else's ifollow looping?

Yeah mine was looping and then I fell asleep and woke up in the 87th minute when it was already 1-1 lol

Absolutely sterling performance from the lads today and a well-earned point.

But I think it's fair to say that if we set up like that against a team like Leeds away we lose 7 times out of 10. Of course we needed to make sure we were more solid defensively but that starting line-up seemed way too defensive. 2 attacking players out of 11? Hope we don't do that too often, even against the better sides.

 

[SBAndy]

I’d be half-tempted to see Latibeaudiere come in at CM just to screen the back 4. Piroe is likely to float between the lines so blocking off that space could be vital. Not entirely sure how the rest of the midfield shapes around that if we were to do it.

Hate it when I’m right.
