Leeds v West Brom

[Liverpool blade]

West Brom are all over the place at the back!!. I think our deserved win last week has unsettled them. I M O.
It’s beginning to look like a 3 horse race for the 2 auto spots!!. UTB

 

[Rodley]

WBA all at sea.

Let’s see how Norwich get on at Millwall.

We could really do with a favour from Millwall, but I can't see it happening

Leeds have been really good no doubt but WBA would lose to anyone playing like this.

Leeds are tenacious, fit, and very good with their feet. WBA are ponderous, slow and spend 3 hours considering playing a forward ball before going back to the defence.

I think this is a performance that threatens a manager's job security personally.

Very impressed with Leeds tonight, never give you a minute and flood forward at pace, similar to ourselves. Will be 6 pointer mega game in a couple of weeks.

Leeds have looked good but it’s highlighted to me how poor the West Brom midfield are. That or tactics.

Against the most intense team in the league you set up with a midfield 3 of Livermore, Barry and (the young kid). Then put 3 out and out strikers up front. Both Gayle and Robson-Kanu will not track back and don’t play wide, so are basically ineffective.

To me it’s been too easy for Leeds tonight and really really poor tactically from West Brom.

agree - yes - that's why i'd flood our midfield. Deny them the ball as much as possible.

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

Any result other than a Leeds win is excellent for us.

Edit, wrong reply, forgive me

 

[bromtom]

Completed pass stats for WBA are going to be appalling.

Embarrassing tactical display from the manager not helped by the players being as thick as two short planks and continuing to do the same shite that's not working for the entire game.

Not to take anything away from Leeds though, showing the Premier League Billy big bollocks types WBA have that people press you in the Championship.

 

[bromtom]

Have WBA actually got a defence?

 

[ChemEngBlade]

Leeds have been excellent tonight. The most complete performance I’ve seen this season. West Brom were atrocious

 

[snootyfenooty]

Think we helped Leeds by knocking the stuffing out of WBA. They had a massive reality check when their PL superstars were shown up by lil ol' us.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Frighteningly awesome performance from Leeds tonight - or maybe West Brom were seriously shite.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Impressive from Leeds.

Can the SAME eleven keep producing these types of performances though.

Lets see what Leeds team turns up in Bristol next week.

[Razor_Blade]

It starting to look alot like GD make a big difference leeds have cut it to 3 & 4 goals on norwich and us tonight.

I fail to see any good in Robson-Kanu. I bet he’s on a reyt wedge as well. All on the back of a goal in the euros and a handily timed contract expiring.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Tonight’s win for them, coupled with us losing against Wednesday and again against Leeds, and that’s them up in 2nd.

Different gravy tonight and they’ll do the same to us in two week’s time if we’re not careful.

 

[bromtom]

I fail to see any good in Robson-Kanu. I bet he’s on a reyt wedge as well. All on the back of a goal in the euros and a handily timed contract expiring.

Robson-Kanu and Ashley Williams Welsh wing of the wage stealing alliance.

Awful. Both on a reyt wedge too at newly relegated Prem teams.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Yep, can't argue with that, Leeds were excellent and were so fired up for this but the West Brom defending was a complete joke.

No use us worrying about them though, we've got other things to occupy our minds at the moment

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

I agree. Wouldn’t be surprised if they fall out of the top six. They were dogshite tonight. Didn’t win a single battle.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

I hope all those who wanted Leeds to win are thrilled with tonight ... it never sits reyt with me when they win, and certainly not tonight.

 

[snootyfenooty]

As long as they're not replaced by, erm....

 

[robbiez666]

How are West Brom that shit with the players they have. They have to sack Moore if they want to go up.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

It's down to 3. Boro and WBA not good enough for automatic.

 

[Rob86]

agree - yes - that's why i'd flood our midfield. Deny them the ball as much as possible.

UTB

It wasn’t so much flooding the midfield. They’d got 3 out and out strikers up front with no desire (or capability) to help out defensively.

Bizarrely there were times in the game when Rodriguez, the head striker, was deeper than the two wide strikers. I thought they’d dropped Rodriguez back but then both the others stayed wide.

 

[snootyfenooty]

To quote our very own esteemed poster, that's what happens thanks to Baggie Baggieness.

 

[JayGreen17]

That was a game of two polar opposites which resulted in Leeds looking magnificent, excellent result for them and they did play well, need to get a result on Monday, the pressure is definitely on, we have showed we can handle it, big test on Monday.

 

[Guesty]

I said in the shoutbox this 'Leeds are going to fade' narrative was bollocks. Who was it that shot me down?

Leeds aren't dropping off. Nor will our game at Elland Road be the cakewalk some are absurdly predicting.

 

[lakedistblade]

Early goal gave Leeds and crowd a huge lift. Leeds motivation and confidence grew and grew and prem snowflakes wilted. Good performance by Leeds, unrecognisable from loss to QPR but wait until they come Up against the class and steel of Wilders Blades. Going to be a reyt match but even after watching that I still think we've got enough. Starting on Monday.

Like we ended the season of Rust FC last season
