Ohare off at ht

 

[Jan Age]

O’hare off at half time for Brewster

 

[fifty shades of blade]

We’re not frustrating them here. They are loving having so much of the ball.

Yes we are. They haven't scored and can't break us down! So far anyway!

 

[CornwallBlade]

Ref making very strange decisions both ways. Hope that

Tbf, they can't keep up that pressure for 90 minutes. Chances will come. Just need to weather the storm.

Yep, keep them out and they’ll run out of puff - they can’t keep this level of pace for 90 mins. Already signs of some slowing

 

[Jan Age]

Burrows has also had his worst game so far

 

[Chilttheblade]

I have asked before ,what is the point of Moore ?

 

[The Hobott]

O'Hare poor but not the only one. Arblaster pretty sloppy. Gus anonymous.

 

[Montymagic]

I have asked before ,what is the point of Moore ?

None.

We are weak up top period.

 

[Dimyan93]

Think apart from Cooper/Souter/Anel everyone is being poor, changes are needed

 

[bartman]

O’hare off at half time for Brewster

For me it would Rak-sakyi for O'Hare foe the extra pace

 

[CornwallBlade]

O'Hare poor but not the only one. Arblaster pretty sloppy. Gus anonymous.

Re:Ohare, I wouldn’t mind so much if he could stay onside - must have been off 3 times

 

[JayGreen17]

Rak and Brewster in at half time, we need to give Leeds something to worry about as at the minute we have zero threat, hate to say it but quite impressed with Leeds work rate, not giving us a minute when we get the ball, we need to be more composed, and when we do we need an outlet that’s why we need Rak, they will have to bring players back, if we don’t it’s only a Mayer of time before Leeds score

 

[Iceybabey]

Hamer and Arblaster anonymous. O'Hare weak and Moore ineffective.

Get some players on that can go forward. Brewster has to come on for O'Hare.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Typical Sky sports Leeds wank fest. We need a Basham arriving moment.

 

[JayGreen17]

Hamer and Arblaster anonymous. O'Hare weak and Moore ineffective.

Get some players on that can go forward. Brewster has to come on for O'Hare.

I forgot OHare was playing

 

[CornwallBlade]

Biggest issue for me is how sloppy we’ve been in possession- giving the ball away far to cheaply

 

[Blade58]

Not sticking when we occasionally get it up top

A few players below par

I think I’d sacrifice someone for either Brooks or Rak Saki to give us an outlet

 

[bakeblade]

None.

We are weak up top period.

Frustrating that Moore and O'Hare keep drifting offside.

 

[The Hobott]

Thought Moore did ok. Got on the end of a few punts and started attacks.

 

[Frank the tank]

I have asked before ,what is the point of Moore ?

I suppose no one thought it worthy of an answer then either

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Typical Sky sports Leeds wank fest. We need a Basham arriving moment.

Hinchcliffe is a fucking pussyole. Nearly cums when leeds get past the halfway line. Prick.

 

[Nagima]

Burrows has also had his worst game so far

Yeah. I don't think move out suits him at all. He defends better as left back because he is facing the ball all the time. He attacks better from there too. As he is going on the overlap.
Overall the team, is looking poor because we can't seem to string passes together.

 

[Blade58]

O’hare off at half time for Brewster

I think Brooks or Rak Sakyi to give us an outlet

 

[Blademan89]

For me it would Rak-sakyi for O'Hare foe the extra pace

I think brewsters offers slightly more defensively which edges him to get the nod for me in this game in that role.

 

[Blacksea]

We don't look anything like a top of the table team, basic and unforced errors just piled up,they have won most of the second balls and are much more fluid and together,we are disjointed and too slow,this is only going to go one way.

 

[Shadota]

That was really poor. We've changed tactic to try and handle them defensively, not to cause them concerns at the other end. And unsurprisingly it hasn't worked.

We'd be far better off going back to how we've been playing. The presence of wingers, even if they aren't natural in those positions, force the full backs to sit deeper. Then their wide players can't tuck in and try to overload our back 3, as they have to provide the width that the full backs can no longer provide.

Arblaster has been fucking invisible. Burrows doesn't look like he's switched on half the time. And we're just dropping steadily deeper and inviting them on.

I'd really like to see us make a change. Campbell or Rak-Sakyi for Burrows. Put the sub and O'Hare as your wide men, and play Hamer/Vini/Blaster as a deeper 3, with Hamer breaking forward. Midfielders stifle the centre of the pitch where their main threats are drifting into space, full backs sit deep and face up the Leeds wingers 1 on 1. We can then truly play on the break, use the wide areas better, and try and feed the ball into the box.

If we don't change things at all, I can only see this game going the wrong way.

 

[jt64]

This is OK, but not ideal, feel it needs JRS or Brooks for O'Hare

 

[derfblade.3]

Can't see any changes till 60 mins......then BOSH!

 

[SB_90]

i am pleased to an extent. this is toughest away game we will have all season, tough crowd & a team 99% of people had already handed the championship trophy to. this half has gone exactly as i expected it would almost 2019 dejavu. if we have another 45 mins like that & we escape with a 0-0, ill be overjoyed

but we have got to be more careful in possession, with has last few years seem to be weakness of our it cost us v QPR. as we collapsed after we let them have wave after wave of arracking through sloppy passing

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

Need to attack, need forward options and an outlet. Cannot defend for the second half, put them on the back foot.
