[Blacksea]

Bogle needs to get into this game,not doing enough going forward or defensively

 

[SUFCinks]

Pressing and closing the opponents down? No, absolutely no desire in that.

Not sure running after the ball posses that much quality (hence why we are bottom of the league)

 

[originaltrueblade]

Fleck pass or cross the bloody ball as you always run into trouble

 

[Eza Blade]

Danny Wellbeck has McBurnie posters on his wall

 

[FriethBlade]

Mcgoldrick pass the f in ball to Brewster !!

 

[William Large]

Not sure running after the ball posses that much quality (hence why we are bottom of the league)

Didn’t say it showed quality, I said it showed desire. There’s not much quality in Leeds pressing game, but plenty of desire. Given the absence of it in so many games this season I’m happy to see it.

 

[FriethBlade]

Great save Rammers

You're right but you have to get our position in context. We aren't Premier League quality. We are going to get outgunned most weeks. We don't have the technical quality of any of the other teams. I think we all recognise that.
All we are now looking for is maximum effort, a goal or two, some sort of idea going forward, and at least a little but of hope for next season.
At least the hard work is a start.

[varkanoid]

Anyone else fed up of these bias Commentators supporting Brighton?

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Terrible defending. Weak

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

If you squint at Osborn’s efforts a bit, and pretend that the world isn’t a complete fucking mess, it’s like it’s 2015 and Matt Done is leading the line

 

[FatPaul]

Fuck

 

[originaltrueblade]

I fucking love VAR

 

[SUFCinks]

You did say desire (agreed) and purpose (disagree). Defending for long periods of time is always going to result in them scoring

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

One we won't get away with next season

 

[William Large]

Well it’s all about opinions isn’t it.

 

[FredZeppelin]

Got really lucky there. Our defence is a fucking disgrace at set pieces.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Can you be offside if the ball is played backwards?

 

[Kop Cat]

How many times have we been 1 up and then just sit back and lose

 

[jono_t2000]

Bogle off for Burke. Need an outlet bad

 

[William Large]

You did say desire (agreed) and purpose (disagree). Defending for long periods of time is always going to result in them scoring

But if we are being pedantic, defending for long periods, doesn’t ALWAYS result in the opponents scoring .

 

[AnstonBlade1]

We’re dreadful to watch, slow, predictable, offer nothing going forward

 

[FatPaul]

Can you be offside if the ball is played backwards?

Was just wondering the same thing

 

[Kop Cat]

oops delete

 

[Anston Blade]

Can you be offside if the ball is played backwards?

My thoughts exactly

 

[SUFCinks]

We really need to be more composed on the ball - so wasteful ul

 

[BarcaBlade]

Got really lucky there. Our defence is a fucking disgrace at set pieces.

If they can't score after all the corners we've given them, they don't deserve a point.

 

[spikeachu]

Can you be offside if the ball is played backwards?

Yes. It's generally accepted that if you pass backwards to a player he is behind play. In this case Moder was ahead of play and ran back to retrieve the ball.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Hoof ball thinking mcgoldrick has pace wtf are we doing

 

[Geordie Blade]

Can you be offside if the ball is played backwards?

I’ve just checked and you can. I never knew that!
