Was always going to get nervy if they got the third but should’ve been over as a contest long before that.

So wasteful in front of goal. Lacked intensity in the 2nd half, dare I say we became complacent until they scored. As a result of which we created self imposed pressure as the impetus changed.

Exactly, what could have been a 17 point gap last weekend is now only 8. This league is bonkers. I love it.

Only the Leicester result going in our favour at the top

Wouldn't be Leeds, I suppose, if we didn't make it more difficult than it needed to be. We should have had five or six.
Good result, though.

Re: Leeds Utd v Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Cooper returns in place of Struijk
Just seen their goal replayed afterwards, it was perfectly played between Firpo and Cooper with Ampadu chasing back - nobody at fault really but some might disagree.

A good overall assessment, Cjay. In particular, Gray showing why the vultures are circling.

Especially with the international break, Joe. Only good thoughts for lads over the break.John in Louisiana wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 5:09 pm Wouldn't be Leeds, I suppose, if we didn't make it more difficult than it needed to be. We should have had five or six.

Re: Leeds Utd v Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Cooper returns in place of Struijk
I wouldn't panic too much about that, they threw the kitchen sink at us and were bound to have a period of control, it's hard for the manager to know where to start when someone does that, like DF did v Norwich for us
We should've been out of sight really with our chances and i'm more pleased about that.
Only Plymouth, but it was still good and improving from us for the majority.

The longer the game went on without getting the 3rd goal the more adventurous they became.

Re: Leeds Utd v Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Cooper returns in place of Struijk
Another questionable second half but job done in the first. Leicester slipped up again thanks to Sam Greenwood.
Re: Leeds Utd v Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Cooper returns in place of Struijk
Losing Byram changed the Dynamic as well. They were pretty much hemmed into their own half on the left side. Firpo stayed deep for the most part, but ironically had pushed up when the ball over the top came. Not his fault - he was probably under instruction.
