Match Thread Leeds United v The Mighty Blades

[LoughboroBlade]

Contrast vs Wednesday and Crainie and Egan a step up on CCV and Wright.

I’ve been impressed with Martin Crainie,good player

Chaps, it’s Cranie.

 

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

No Duffy or Dowell?? setting up for a point then? Absolutely bottled it.

Why don’t you start a thread abo...oh, wait

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

I feel sick, I wish it was 3 o’clock right now and I’m feeling elated.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Team doesn't look creative enough, the best way to nullify an opponent is to keep the ball,
Not let them have it and then have to constantly dig in.

 

[Harry's Game]

Don’t be ridiculous.

I’m afraid he can’t help himself.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

What's the betting on a red for Bash today?
Hope the occasion doesn't get to him.
Never been a dirty player, but his 100%, full blooded commitment in that midfield today needs controlling.

 

[Hartley Hare]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Agreed.

HH

 

[JayGreen17]

Inviting the pressure.

 

[Liaminho9]

Too big of a gap in between our Midfield and the Strikers right now

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Just not keeping possession for long enough and giving them too much room at the back.

 

[cc1]

The right side of defence looks almost non-existant at times today, huge holes, not used to seeing us look so open, appreciate Leeds are bang on their game by the looks of it. Pricks.

 

[Iceybabey]

McGoldrick is pissing me off, soon as he gets into the game, we'll go forward better.

 

[Sheffsteel]

It’s like the Brentford match.
We’re defending well but it looks like every player is totally in defense mode.
Our general passing, composure and decision making has been unusually poor so far.
Most of our players are being closed down apart from Basham, he’s had more of the ball than our other players but so far his quality has been poor.

 

[Inter_blade83]

We need Duffy or Dowell on. Preferably Duffy as he's better defensively

 

[JayGreen17]

This isn’t good, can’t even do the simple things right, like keep the ball, is Norwood on the pitch?

 

[Iceybabey]

We need Duffy or Dowell on. Preferably Duffy as he's better defensively

I disagree, Dowell gets stuck in more than Duffy and has the bigger frame for it. Hence why Dowell was able to play LWB.

 

[sheff_blade90]

i knew this would be tough as leeds are best team in the championship. but this is tougher than i thought & if he can hold on to possession that would be nice

 

[rosy red]

This is shit, we dont deserve nothing unless something changes at half time

 

[JayGreen17]

Bashams passing is woeful and he keeps losing possession clumsily

 

[JayGreen17]

This is shit, we dont deserve nothing unless something changes at half time

Yep you wouldn’t moan if we actually lost the game seeing this.

 

[WoodMillBlade]

I’d sub Basham for that.

 

[rosy red]

Jeez, all basham wanted to do was pass to somebody

 

[Razor_Blade]

Doesn't have that kind of finish in his locker. Tbf, he tried to play billy in

 

[rosy red]

Were not getting many chances he should have looked to shoot

 

[dillis]

Came back into it last 5 when we tried to play a bit! Basham all over the shop. Not sure what he’s doing at the end either. CW just loves Bash.

 

[North East Blade]

If that was Norwood or fleck instead of bash that would more than likely be 0-1

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Basham needs to be taken off he is the reason why we look sub standard in midfield,Duffy or Dowell on the sooner the better.

 

[Cappy]

Good end to the half. Something very positive to build on. Showed our strength.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Bashan is like a new born foal. He is league one player doing ok in Champ. For all his "marauding runs" he lacks any sort of technical ability.

 

[rosy red]

I think wilder has put basham in midfield as an extra defender but it isn't working out because we cant get the ball out playing as we normally do going forward this is just drawing Leeds on to us. I dont know how we going to last out game playing like this because we have been lucky up to now.
