DirtyLeeds vs Aston Villa post match thread

Whelan, Grealish & dare I say Hutton (still think he's a dreadful excuse for a footballer) were excellent.

Terrible first half.

I reckon Boro and Derby are harder games, Leeds are crap at the moment. 7 defeats in 10 before tonight and despite how woeful we were before the subs they only managed 1 shot on target.

Or 2 wins in 3 before tonight

2 wins, 2 defeats in November. bog average side.

Behave. They are a team team that will there or there abouts come may.  Please remember we are not man city. An away draw against a top 7 team is a decent result

And we won 4 in 5. So that makes us an excellent side with the better manager right?

suit yourself. I'm looking at the opposition above us and we're going to have to raise our game to catch them.

Davis is a worry, kid needs rest now and again but hard to see how we can do it.

Agree. RHM may be back soon but I can only see him as a sub

I really think I might try Adomah there. Needs must and all that

[ChicagoLion]

Our set up at corners cost a goal again.
Looks like opposition have done thier homework.
Crowd goalkeeper and swing in under the bar.
1 we should have a defender 2 yards in front of near post.
2 Taylor has got to take out anything within 2 yards of the goal line.

Don’t really get some of the negativity. Shit first half better team in the second. Considering the players out injured I’d have taken a win away to them. Bruce picked the side many others would have and when it wasn’t working changed it.

I reckon Bruce will try that tbh. I also wouldnt be surprised if he threw elmo in the mix somehow.

Elland rd on a Friday night is a tough fixture. Very good point this evening on the back of 3 wins

Our wins don't count though unless we've got 60 + % possession and it's against teams above us

I agree, he is strong and has shown a few times he can hold the ball up.
We have Jack and HOULAHAN to play number 10 role.

Ah lads, need to lay off Bruce tonight. Team picked itself, not his fault the occasion was too much for the front two. They have both had fine games for us this season but sunk without trace for us tonight.

Second half was much better, subs making a big difference. That's the biggest plus for tonight, Grealish and Lansbury really pushing hard for a start the next day when we need to freshen up the team. Thought Chester was outstanding throughout and Whelan, Taylor and Hutton were solid. Hourihane was quiet and was very disappointed in Snodgrass tonight. Going back to his former club was expecting a decent show. Looks to have lost weight but had no impact tonight.

Going forward, we are going to really struggle to score if Davis is the only option up top for next while.

Leeds are nowhere as bad as some of you are making out.

Johnstone 7, Hutton 6, Samba 5, Chester 9, Taylor 7, Snodgrass 5, Whelan 7, Hourihane 6, Adamoah 6, Onomoah 4, Davis 5. Grealish 8, Lansbury 8.

[Villa75]

Two points further behind top 2.

Never mind. Ignoring the first three games of the season, the losses against Wolves and Sheffield Wednesday, and the times we've drawn, we right up there with the best of them.

Or something like that. 😉

Don't get me wrong I was expecting a win. But they were good 1st half and poor defending apart we could have won. Cardiff/Sheffield will drop points against Leeds,, Bristol and derby away. Today was an decent result. As has been said last year we would have rolled over and lost comfortably
