Boo Radley wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:28 pm Yes, the early goal for them was key.

That allowed them to sit en masse in their own box and then dive, waste time and just be as negative as possible for the remaining 84 minutes, which they did with a passion because that’s their nature.

As seen tonight, when they go on the offensive they are so poor it’s not funny. We just needed to stop them scoring and we’d have beaten them, even playing as poorly as we did. It’s very disappointing to see that so clearly tonight.

Teams raise their games against us and no one takes us for granted. Poor reffing and the pitch also worked against us.

We're actually in danger of being loved by a large section of the watching neutrals.

Surely we've practiced on it which should give us an advantage.

Yes we are entertaining although against an average Villa side for once we weren't anywhere near as flamboyant, in fact I nearly went to sleep on the sofa as we were as dull as dishwater

Injuries to key players on a large scale hasn't helped our cause one bit.

To the blunts credit they defended well for a third of the game with ten men, unconvinced how we would defend a lead with ten men as we are much more gun-ho than the majority of PL clubs.

As one pundit has just said, when this Leeds team are good they are very good and when they are poor they are very poor. We still need to keep an eye on the likes of Fulham and make sure the gap doesn't suddenly narrow with so many tough matches left to the end of the season. Sometimes I feel that complacency has set in about ' being an established mid table team. ' It's worth remembering too that almost certainly we will not finish as high in the table as the Blunts managed in their first season back, and the chances are high that it may be quite a few places lower.
