Another BIG mistake by Casilla after that an uphill battle against Forest.

Worst performance I have seen this season, the passing was very poor mainly over hit.

Will Bielsa ring the changes for Tuesday at Brentford, I doubt it.

All closed up now at the top of the Championship, who knows who will go up.

Absolute wretched performance last night. Forest could have won 4 or 5-0. The useless out of form, out of position Allioski should have been sent off first half and Forest had two or three good penalty appeals turned down. Now 2 wins in last 11, and 9 points taken from last 10 games. Can't see Bielsa lasting until end of the season, now the knives are out. He's so set in his ways won't change anything, and his persistence with a clearly out of form out of his depth Bamford is mystifying. Also Kiko the gk has been very poor for a few games. Why not give the kid Meslier a go he played well in FA Cup game at Arsenal. But no Mr regimental Biesla likes to pick the same out of form 11.

We could find ourselves 7th next Saturday tea time with two more losses against contenders snapping at our heals. The team showed last season with the 2nd leg 2nd half play off collapse against Derby they are nervy edgy in big games. For me they are brittle, have no bottle and backbone, no leader. No denying Leeds have the talent and potential and the form early season was fantastic some great stuff played. Oh for that great 1990 promotion team with Strachen, Batty, Speed etc. They had bottle and balls to get out of this division, and then a couple of seasons later won the big league.

And another clown performance from the keeper, it's like starting a game one goal down. Saying that Leeds should have won with the clear chances they had. But a point is better than none hope this gives them some confidence from now on. MOT

What is it with these Championship managers spouting off about Leeds, its like a team talk to Leeds.

Brentford wanker all week before Tuesday giving it large not much to say since the game....... 

Now Bristol City dwarf again giving it the big un, little man syndrome.

Wheels are falling off. Reliable class striker needed. Too much pressure on Bamford. Should’ve bought big in transfer window. Made a clear display of Premier League/Europe ambition.

Here we go again?

You can not spend in the Championship if you have been down a while. Or you end up like Birmingham points deduction.

Relegated clubs from Prem get parachute payments for 3 years. Have to try and send within your means.

'Bielsa has confirmed that Kiko Casilla will start in goal against Bristol City' (BBC). 

0-1, with four hours until kick off?

Tom Tit

[gazO]

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CRICKET SCORE.  A clean sheet. A good day all round with the other results. 

 

[Captain Dave]

Played really well against a Bristol City team that are no mugs, could have scored a lot more - we hit the bar twice

and their keeper played a blinder.which is all too typical of course.

 

Good day, especially with Barnsley winning 0-3 at Fulham and West Brom, Forest and Brentford drawing.

Remaining fixtures look a lot easier than the last six weeks, so still optimistic.

Have we turned the corner now and ridden out the storm?

I'd be happy for WBA to keep winning and us hanging on to their coat tails just like the first half of the season.

Everyone from 3rd to 13th are too inconsistent and seem incapable of putting a long winning run together. Fulham were/are the big threat. Remember when they went on a late season charge 3 seasons ago and pipped us for 6th place.

One on the 7th march would be nice!

Another very important three points with the win over Reading.

 

Casilla redeemed himself somewhat, he can save brilliantly when he wants to.

We're still failing to put away the chances clinically.

LUTV girl looking good with her magnificent breasts, I struggle to pay attention to her football talk.

 

Glad to see Kalvin Phillips running around quite easily at the full time whistle - was worried when he limped off.

 

Gap to third now widened to 5 points with Fulham and Forest both drawing.

A good win against a team that made it difficult. The wizards feet created the chance for his goal.

12 games to go could it be, this time?

3 in a row lads. Keep the faith! 

 

Even though boro are struggling and with low confidence is take 3 points any day away from home against them!

Other teams brought in players and straight into their starting 11 Man Utd's Bruno Fernandes for one.

We did not have a striker on the bench so putting Augustin on the bench and having the opportunity to bring him on for the last 15 minutes would have made sense to me.

Don't get me wrong I think Bielsa is a fantastic manager and we wouldn't have been in the top two and Augustin wouldn't have considered coming to us if Bielsa wasn't in charge, but I think sometimes he is a bit too narrow minded in how he does things. Sometimes doing things a bit different can get results, what was the worst that could happen? He has played about 13 matches for Monaco this season so he would have been as fit if not fitter than Tyler Roberts.

 

 

How many goals has he scored in his 13 games for Monaco?

[qqwert]

How many goals has Bamford scored in his last 13 games?

I like Bamford, he holds the ball up well and he was instrumental in Kitches goal tonight but he also missed a number of sitters.

The way Leeds play there are 4-5 players who should be scoring goals for us regularly not once in a blue moon as tonights game against Boro showed.

You need an alternative to come on and change the game, Augustin is out injured until early March so again no options.

[gazO]

Another clean sheet its all about the results now. Earlier this season Leeds battered teams and got nothing or a point.

So  3, 1-0 wins will do, keep doing it.

As for Bamford have to accept it, his work rate is immense but misses some sitters look at the one last night he was on the goal line. As long as the others stick it in keep it going.

The Yorkshire Perlo  was missed hope fit for Hull early game Saturday.  MOT

[Rambuttri village]

So on the eve of an important game with an early kick off our goal keeper who has kept 3 clean sheets on the bounce gets an 8 match ban. 

Yes we were expecting it and possibly some might argue young Meslier is a better keeper. But the timing of this announcement of a ban has clearly been done to cause as much disruption as possible to Leeds so close to game time. The Football League,FA, EFL or whatever you want to call these twats is clearly corrupt. Yet another dodgy decision clearly designed to try by whatever means keep Leeds their "cash cow"in the EFL Championship for another season

[tez4life]

Leeds are always the subject of corruption, and people out to get them? Never their fault is it. Lol 

If meslier is a better keeper why can't he get a game?

The money is all in the premier league, if Leeds had money and were a 'cash cow' that's where they would want the club to be. They don't give a shite about the football league its worthless. How deluded can you be. Lol

 

[gazO]

The Yorkshire club said the decision had been made "on the balance of probability rather than proving Kiko to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt, which we have always believed is the more appropriate burden of proof".

However, the independent regulatory commission will not publish their written reasons for their decision until next week.

Happened in September SO LONG AGO ban now just has he has had some reasonable performances. All a grey area on the evidence.

Why wait till Friday afternoon before a match to do it????? Looks like deliberate to cause MAXIMUM disruption.

The times are numerous that Leeds have been punished out of context to others ground closures, points deduction ETC. Even Spygate last year was not even a crime no rule in place. Fueled by crying Frank and others.

Just carry on winning and stick it the the powers that be.   MOT
