Leeds United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Excellent. That’s how you grind out a tough, tough win.
Morgan will get the headlines, but Kamara was an absolute colossus.

I thought Kamara had a poor game by his standards as did all of our midfield. Bogarde looked class when he came on as did Maatsen and Malen.

Special mention for Sancho.
He offers fuck all.  Nothing going forward and doesn’t defend.
Like playing with 10 men.
Send him back in January.  Fraud.

Has the heart the size of pea. On that pitch skills aren't going to count for much. Just battle like hell when you come on, the bare minimum expected of any pro at this level in other words. Guessand would have done that

There was a graphic put up stating that they have not lost at home after scoring first in about 2 years or such like.

41 games 33 wins, 8 draws after scoring first. Makes the win  even more impressive.

As poor as we were in the first half, Leeds didn't let us play really. Closed us down and kept fouling McGinn whenever they had chance. Malen coming on changed it and it meant we got more control of the midfield.
.

Two great subs, two really good finishes and up to 4th. Which is nice.

It's Dirty Leeds

Lovely clean Leeds who I have always had a soft spot for, you mean. Best of luck to them in their next three games.

Technically, it's Dirty dirty Leeds surely.

I have seen him pull out of a couple of things which i thought he could get to

[VILLA MOLE]

Scrappy, stodgy, little fluency and not helped by a very, er, crowd-pleasing ref, but we buggered on through. Good for us.

Who also needs a bigger shirt for those guns 💪

Ref had huge arms the motherfucker.

You would have thought he would have booked more Leeds players so he can flex 🤔

So happy...the 35-year hoodoo has finally been broken!! Since we arrived in Shrewsbury in November 1990 we'd never seen the Villa win an away game when we'd been to watch them at the Beacon, Copthorne...the last debacle being at Man United on Boxing Day 2023. We can go there more often now 

A college girlfriend from The Mount used to take me there. Happy days.

4th in the table, lovely stuff. Imagine where we might be if we’d had a decent summer transfer window?

[Gareth]

That’s 5 successive games we’ve lost on the pointless xG nonsense….do we have to send the 12 points back?

Job done

[Tayls_7]

A gritty, determined display and another occasion in which we've fought back to win when losing.

Someone needs to explain to Jaydon that dangling a leg like a wet noodle in 50-50s isn't good enough and puts us in difficult situations.

I went comms silent 2nd half because Andy Townsend is becoming the new Alan Smith, the floppy-haired, southern twonk.
