Re: Today's Games
If Fulham didn't have Mitrovic I doubt they'd be in the top 6

Re: Today's Games
I watched some of the match last night and was amazed at just how poor these teams were when they had the ball. Out players are always moving and it seems like every player we have has 2 or 3 options at all times. Both Derby and Fulham seemed to play with no real team plan, someone would get the ball and have no options, no support. Considering that Fulham are meant to be a 'pleasing on the eye' team I was surprised and similarly surprised at how poor Derby were considering that their manager, Cocu, is schooled in the Ajax way. Derby without Rooney would be relegation candidates and Fulham without Mitrovic would be mid table.
Re: Today's Games
Agree Weasel I haven't seen a championship team this season with consistent quality passing & movement as ours, most teams rely on set-pieces/throw-ins for their attacking threats, none of the flowing moves we've witnessed from Leeds.weasel wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 8:57 am I watched some of the match last night and was amazed at just how poor these teams were when they had the ball.

Re: Today's Games
We are being spoiled by Bielsaball. It makes you realise how uninspiring most managers are at this level. I dread the day we have to go back to watching ordinary football again.

Blackburn on a good run, lot of people's fancy to make a late run for the play-offs

Re: Today's Games
Someone will make that bid, be it Blackburn, Derby, or Cardiff.
Up to us to stay clear.

Rovers have been on a really good run & yes they are the dark horses this season.rich_leeds64 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 12:57 pm Are they this seasons dark horse as they’ve steadily climbed the table with some impressive results. They could be 6th by 5pm if they hold on for the win.
Impressed with their defender Nyambe
Re: Today's Games
Birmingham also on a good run btw, but they're 6 points behind Blackburn at start of play today so realistically less chance of climbing the mountain.

Re: Today's Games
We're head and shoulders above anything in this league...should be a minimum of 15 points clear of third right now and about 10 clear in first..

Re: Today's Games
Position and form candidates as of today after the Fulham game
Re: Today's Games
Although we're certainly not form candidates atm - have to see what today brings.
A thumping win against Reading like the last game could raise all our spirits.

Re: Today's Games
Brentford pull it back to 2-2 with the second iffy penalty of the game.
Refreshong to see two sides going for it compared to the anti football we are exposed to week in week out.

Re: Today's Games
Remember saying in 2018 when Blackburn got Armstrong for less then £2mil we should be in for him.
11 goals and 6 assists, can play anywhere across the front line, full of pace and can finish.
Talented young man.

Nketiah levels for Arsenal against Everton - great cross from another Arsenal lad and a great leap and strike from Eddie.
