Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Two Professors]

This is reminding me of the crap we had to endure under Hyppia. Possession at the back (sort of), no pace and an eventual long ball to some poor sod in Row Z.

Definitely Bobby time then!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Awful 1st half yet we're somehow drawing........ Sub was right one, fingers crossed the game settles down a bit and we keep some ball!

 

[The Wizard]

Leeds have been bright. Fast, strong and agile. Let's hope it was their purple patch.

You think? I think its been a dreadful game myself, we've been truly shocking and Leeds have only had clear cut chasnces from set pieces, both teams lumping it up field too

 

[Sussex Nomad]

It's awful considering we're in the relegation zone huh? So many bloody moaners it's enough to drive one to drink... Guinness is going down well, thanks for asking.

<---- Glass half full

 

[Rugrat]

Crying out for Bobby to come on and hold the ball up at their end a bit to take the pressure off and bring March/Baldock into the game. Ball has just come straight back so far today.

Totally agree with this ... Hemed isn't getting much but when he does it's straight back to them. Would be a brave move by CH but thinks it needs it

 

[Megazone]

What have you seen thus far from Manu to say that?

Nothing other than hope he has something we've yet to see.

 

[brightn'ove]

Hemed has been poor, maybe give him 15 minutes and if it continues get Bobby on as we're not holding the ball up at all

Means nothing if the centre backs insist on booting it to absolutely no one or into touch. Need a BIG wake up in the second half.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Fortunate to be level at half time. Leeds played very well, closed us down really quickly, giving us no time on the ball and not allowing us to settle down into any kind of rhythm resulting in misplaced passes and hopeful punts forward. They had two or three very bright and dangerous looking attacking players.

Lets hope we get re-organised and that Leeds have run themselves out in the first half.

As an aside, its interesting to see only two teams are winning so far. It really is a very even league.

We need somebody to test the truly woeful Bamba. As long as he is still on the pitch we'll get chances

 

[El Turi]

We should be beating teams like Leeds.....

 

[OzMike]

You can jut see Buckley coming on a scoring the winner, the stage is set.

 

[Bwian]

CH to earn his wages for the next 10 minutes. We need a bit of sorting out.

I think our goalkeeping coach needs to start earning his money-Stockdale has had more than a few 'moments' when all he had to do was take charge beyond the 6 yard box. Defenders need him to be decisive and urgent, not the hesitant flapper he was in the first half. His kicking is dreadful - people used to moan about Kuipers' clearances but Stockdale is way worse than FDM.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Greer is ill apparently.

 

[symyjym]

Hope Hughton has told them to string some passes together.

 

[Arkwright]

We should be beating teams like Leeds.....

why? We have no right to beat anyone. You have to earn the right.

Didn't think he did that much wrong tbh. There were at least 5 players worse than Stockdale in that half.

I was taking the piss at that's the kind of thing Leeds fans usually say about other teams.
