How are friendlies relevant?

International friendlies as people kept mentioning he was an international, they are his only two international appearances. Training sessions basically.

Yea, I'm not the one who kept banging on about his international appearances. The users who did would have been much better quoting your stat instead of two international training sessions in front of about 300 people.

It's part of the game for foreign managers and British one's tbf, he'll have enjoyed that after we whipped them last season, it's something that Squeaky Robin's doesn't get involved in or his team's unfortunately, but probably should in all truth!

How many of our players would you want next to you if you were in a fight? The list isn't very long is it.

If Dovin hasn't kept a clean sheet in any game, I don't see why he's allowed to get away with it 'because it wasn't his fault', but in this game suddenly it is all on Wilson. Wilson maybe could have done better for one or two, not disputing that, but it is pretty short sighted not to break down what happened for the goals beforehand, because it is fucking shite from end to end. It has been like this most games, and the goalkeeper is just a bit of a personality and preference thing in my opinion. There isn't as much in it as some people are making out, with what's going on throughout the rest of the pitch being a much bigger concern.

On pretty much every occasion their players are more keen to get forward than our midfield is to track and close them down. Their players are goal side of our own midfield, with Sheaf strolling back for the first, and both him and Eccles doing it for the second. DaSilva gone to buy a hotdog for the third. You've then got the rest of defence who have no idea where each other are, and are too slow and unreactive to deal with Leeds. It was like a training exercise for them against their under-21s or something.

Pathetic application and effort all round.

The frightening thing should be that a very similar team showed far more determination to secure a point in this fixture last season. We were under pressure for sure but it was a much more battling performance.

What I’ve seen just from extended highlights was very troubling.

Can’t disagree with that. Only player I might give some credit to is Sheaf since he was clearly not fit to start.

He was fit to start. Maybe not completely sharp, but qualified enough to be on the pitch and not help gift them goals. He seems to get away with a lot and people are making excuses for him in my opinion. He's supposed to be the captain, but his cameos recently have been below par.

The mistakes were frustrating, but we created some excellent chances and on another day, things pan out differently.

We certainly weren’t terrible.

My view on the game is that it was a frustrating day at the office. You can’t give 2 goals away and 2-4 big chances and expect to get a result against a quality outfit.

Keeping things in perspective, Leeds shouldn’t not be in this division, they are by far the best team in the division. There were moments where we went toe-to-toe with them and looked really good. The issue is we gifted two easy goals and as the game progressed, they started to pick us off as we were chasing for 2 goals.

Our shape wasn’t well suited to Leeds, they took advantage of the high CMs and got in behind our WBs, which teams have been trying to do in the last few games. Leeds are just a different class to our previous opponents to be fair.

Grimes was fantastic tonight, you can see just how much better he is as a player than Allen. No disrespect intended there.

We’ve got EMC, Haji and Sheaf to return back to the fold so there is plenty to keep positive about!

Why are Leeds fans such cunts? In fact almost every Yorkshire side their fans are absolutely tossers and yet in every other walk of life, Yorkshire folk seem to be some of the nicest on the planet, so no idea why football brings our the worst in them. I fekkin hate Leeds fans.

Absolutely agree, would go back to 433 when we have the players back to suit it. Sounds like EMC might be back so let's do it I say.

They were just miles better in every department. We just move on.

But,

We gifted them two goals which you can’t do
We gave them far too much respect first half
The high line didn’t work
We needed to fill the midfield to try and take
Control
Most of our players were far from their best
We struggled to keep the ball apart from sideways and backwards and even then we lose it.
