Leeds United 1-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[AsTallAsLions]

Incidentally, it looked to me as if our players didn't switch off for their goal, because the Leeds fella made like he was going to put it out, only to disguise the pass.

That was the most odious thing about it all. Not that they played on, but tried to look like they were gonna do the right thing and put it out. It takes a moment of calculation for a piece of shit to decide to disguise a pass like that.

[Risso]

You’ve just got to have 10 of the same players in the matchday squad.

[Villa Lew]

Wow what a match. Disgraceful from Leeds but you've gotta play to the whistle, as for Bamford, should get a 4 match ban for that, unfortunately won't, just hoping the red card will be rescinded, it should be but can you trust the EFL or FA to make a sensible decision. Mings MOTM by a mile.

UP THE VILLA

[taylorsworkrate]

SJM shouldn’t even be on the bench next week, nor Jack, nor Mings.

We wouldn't be allowed to drop that many players who've all played every game since Jan when available.

resting SJM is the priority. We can sub the rest off second half.

Not allowed by who?

There is an EFL rule against it.

The EFL rule is against wholesale changes. 3 changes is hardly wholesale

It was in response to that Wagner changing 10 players to allow the Blues to stay up again a few seasons ago.

Thanks BE. Fairly vague again. Don't know that we'd get away with changing the keeper, midfield, striker all in one go.

I always thought it was Bamfords Dad who was the biggest tool in his family, his son proved me wrong today.

Well the keeper looks injured, as does the striker.

So resting 3 players isn’t allowed. Wow what a shit rule.

Well in fairness I think it's classed as "wholesale changes" so I'm not really sure how they quantify that. We might get away with doing it given the obvious injuries and niggles we have, but those 3 are all fit...

Quick check and 10 of the same squad need to be present unless good reasons. I’m sure slight injuries strains will probably be used but if not it doesn’t mean they can’t be in unused subs. Give Lansbury a start etc.

The 3-2 Carbone hat trick against this lot has been in the memories for years. I remember in that match James had the ball in his hands and one of their players tried heading it from his grasp to score. I guess nothing changes with these unsportsmanlike cheaters 19 years on.

That El Ghazi red should be overturned so not I'm not too angry. Hoping for the best concerning injuries as well.

Quite. We made 3 today.

[themossman]

I think smith is justified in playing a strong side.

The way they were up for it they could have rolled a weak side and hit our confidence.

[Jon Crofts]

Bamford, Jannson what a pair of odious ******, may their arseholes be infested with the flies of a thousand camels.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Game apart, thought that was a poor away support. Hindered no doubt by the most ridiculous over policing and stewarding I've seen all season.

[Flamingo Lane]

McGinn was very lucky to avoid a sending off in added time, when he deliberately and idiotically handled the ball to stop their move, but the referee chose to play advantage.
