" Not looking good "

Sat Sep 17, 2016 3:17 pm

Went to today's game thinking this is a must win game.

Leeds are a very poor team with what I got to say grade A Fans. Nice to meet up with some faces I haven't seen in a long while today even a Leeds fan by the name of Steve who was a complete header, A typical loud Yorkshireman from the old school.
I have said we need to give Trollepe time to get this system across and time to get this new system right but even after such a short time I am struggling to defend him.

What I can't get my head round is him constantly dropping our best performer Kadeem Harris. I didn't go against PNE but was told he was by far our best player but today he was dropped.
Then there is Craig Noone one frustrating player. He plays well from the bench but if he is started he is awful. Why won't he run at players ?

And then today I look at both Clubs and Leeds are awful, there defence is awful but then again we are Cardiff City nil. But it's the fans of both Clubs that is the difference. Leeds fans still have there passion and love of there club and by hell they don't half stand by there team. Today they was behind there team from the off and then you look at our fans.
We are passionless, we look beat, we make excuses to why we won't turn up, or why we don't travel to away matches. And in my view that is down to one man.
Yes we lost today but am I hurt like I should be ? No but I left embarrassed we lost to a team that was one of the poorest Leeds teams I have seen. But hats off to there fans.

Agree with you on Harris, was in canton today and considering the dross on the pitch thought it was not that bad atmosphere wise. Leeds away support is great, always had been. We aren't beaten as fans, we are down but not out. We will sell out allocation to Burton and be loud and proud we do however need changes on the pitch. :thumbup:

Agree with you, but I will say Noone should be on the wing where he can use his strongest foot going down the by line which I believe is the left side.

I see your point but unfortunately he's lost s yard or two of pace and would be easy for a half tidy full back to 'show him' outside and then outpace / dispossess him.
