DirtyLeeds vs Aston Villa post match thread

Davis does need a rest but can’t see how we can do it at the moment. I’m surprised we are getting results considering we have zero strikers on the bench.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

I thought Taylor was excellent. showed great desire to get to the ball that made the equalizer.
I'm very pleased with the point especially with the injury list.

[Edvard Remberg]

Marton? Still want get rid off Jack?

[TonyD]

They have got 8 days off.  Then only a game a week until the 23rd. They should be fresh for Millwall.  Davis will be just dandy.

Agree.My motm

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

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

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

I wasn't expecting a win either but i expect Bruce to try and win the game while it's 0-0. He came for a draw because that's what he does - plays the percentages. As for cardiff and wolves we are at that point now where expecting us to win 3 games and them to pick up nothing in the season is ambitious. I hope we're still in that position come 2018

I watched the first few minutes before they scored. It didn't look to me like we were playing for a draw at all. We played poorly, don't get me wrong, but I dont think we were setup for a draw. If anything we probably SHOULD have been setup more defensively.

[PaulWinch again]

Both subs made a really positive impact and that's what we need. Lansbury looked so much sharper than last time he played.

[Rigadon]

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. 😉

Yes we are.  Tonight we got something from a game we were not even in for a good 30 mins after their goal.  Happy with that?

I’d like to see how wolves Brazil would cope without three of their best players for a lengthy period of time.  Fcukin negativity does my head in.

[PaulWinch again]

Not like Villa75 to be negative.

There are 26 game to go. We have for example clawed a 10 point  deficit to Leeds after 7 game to a 6 point advantage after 20.  I am really not shitting my pants about Cardiff

[sickbeggar]

I guess people see things differently.. Don't get me wrong a point isn't a bad result but once we started to create things after the substitutions they were on their heels trying to cope. Bruce IMO will play it safe while the likes of wolves and cardiff will win those kind of away games because they're better, not playing for a good point away.

[SoccerHQ]

Good point I think.

Need to beat Millwall though.

We just need to stick in there. Yes it's frustrating Cardiff keep winning but it won't happen forever, they'll hit a sticky patch soon so we need to make sure when they do we don't go on a winless run ourselves.

I agree.

Derby and Sheffield UTD beat them at Elland Road. Cardiff and Wolves brushed them aside at home, which I wouldn't bet on us doing.

I predicated a draw and won my bet. These are the games we need to win if we are going to get automatic promotion, but these are the games we're unlikely to win, especially with our lack of a potent strike force. Relying on Davis will not get us top 2.
