To you maybe. To me, it's honesty. We've had hand ball goals given, offside goals given, off side goals disallowed against us that shouldn't have been. Have we had some bad decisions? Absolutely We've benefited plenty of times as well. It's not an accurate statement to say we'd have been promoted w...

This is why I agreed with Farke when he said how it was the start of the season that killed us. It meant that every game we were having to go for the win rather than being able to set up like this and try to control the game and then hopefully find a win. If we do play the same way on Thursday then...

I thought Norwich were always pretty tame and civil?

Maybe Chelsea, Scum or Millwall in disguise?

Disgusting behaviour from the people from The Hills Have Eyes.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It's whether Farke and the players get scared and freeze up at the moment of truth. We've had lots of that recently. That would be the concern. When it's mattered recently both players and manager have been found lacking. Early goal would hopefully settle those nerves

Let's not even start with this, comes across as tinpot.

Josh Sargent possibly being out on Thursday would be a major boost for us. The 2nd most clinical striker in the league this season and crucially Norwich are a much worse away team and a much worse team when he doesn't play. When he starts 45 points from 24 games. When he doesn't 25 points from 22 ga...

Well they've gotta come back for the ball if nobody brings it forward, or passes forward :lol: Agree that an early goal will settle the nerves. We definitely don't need any more clangers from Meslier, or the defence, as that was our undoing against Derby when we were 2-0 up on aggregate. It will be...

If we can make it to the final I'd much prefer to play WBA. Saints have may wore weapons and quality than the Baggies Neither are ideal. Southampton have walked through us twice, Martin seems to have Farke's number. We haven't beaten WBA either and Corberan is the sort of coach who in a 1 off game ...

Farke's here now - feeling? When you play first leg, away draw, clean sheet, difficult ground, always solid result. Happy with the performance and the result. Last games in the season were not great in results and conceded too many goals after many clean sheets. Away games conceded too many. Wanted ...

I honestly hoped Rutter would offer more today. He was the worse player on the pitch, no lack of effort but hardly anything is coming off. That pass to (…cannot recall, but the runner had three defenders around him) when Rutter had acres of space to run into was just symptomatic of a player with ze...

Yeah, slow to think and slow to pass. Meaning that we miss attacking opportunities. But aye, he was fairly tidy. He did much better earlier in the season when we were on it. You need a Kamara tbf in the squad. But has to be the right match. Today was the right match in fairness if you are safety fi...

He also was seemingly everywhere today…both sides and in the middle. Would love to see his heat map for this one. He showed his experience in that he “found the space”…where the ball was going in order intercept the ball, but also being wide open in order to receive the ball. He also was looking to...

Aye :tup: Definitely plaudits to DF for shoring up the midfield and defence. We'd conceded seven in our previous two matches, so that had to stop or we were already done. Still very much in the tie, and he needs to go with a more positive and attacking approach at ER. Joseph, or Piroe need to start...

Anyone see how much he was stretching and struggling near the end?

Happens a lot.

Wonder just how fit he is.

No idea where the today's match thread is.

WBA all over Southampton first 5 minutes

Was tidy I suppose.

Definitely gives me Adam Forshaw vibes.

Win the 2nd leg and its a decent tactical performance from DF tbf.

Definitely set up today not to lose rather than win.

Given how defensively open we've been recently not the worst idea.

Hopefully a different setup at Elland Road.

Meslier-5
Byram-7
Rodon-7
Ampadu-7
Firpo-7
Gruev-6
Kamara-6
Gnonto-7
Gray-7
Summervillez-7
Rutter-5

Anthony-5
James-6
Piroe-6

As a spectacle mind numbingly shite. Better result for us. Bout it really Georgie as a 9 didn't work at all, at times Gray was the striker for some reason. But result is best for us. Norwich much worse away from home as well. Then again not sure our lot cope with Elland Road either. Who knows. Still...
