Typical Leeds.

Stoke don't manage a single shot on target in the second half, but still win.

Them two are in the same category one or both of them would have dropped howlers and the game would have been over before halftime

All three are liabilities and you can't carry them over a season in this league that's why the squad should have been strengthened so we ain't relying on these players they will cost leeds a lot of points over a season

Kieran Mckennna is doing a fantastic job.
Only one defeat in 30 odd games, v us, yet so many on here think they'll suddenly go on a long losing run lol

We are far too casual at times.

Looks like keeping Jimmy out of the starting line-up was game-time management more than DF losing his marbles:

It would have been great to nick a game in which we were generally inept but as soon as Bamford decided it was his penalty it was 99% certain that he would miss....how the hell was he allowed to take it ?

Ian posted on the Bamfraud thread, he has missed penalties under 4 LU managers, jesus christ and we still allow him to take them.

Bielsa thought Paddy was the bees knees and apparently prioritised him as a signing

Stoke were poor, our own ineptness made them look better than they are.

And that was another away game where we set up to counter and could easily have lost.

Ipswich however play the same week in week out with minimal change.

One manager getting the absolute best out of what he has and it isn't ours.

Has been for many a year

Maybe Revie's fault ?
It's to do with the fact we don't ot having have a decent defence we have ayling firpo Shackleton cooper all not good enough rodon on loan and Spence on loan who ain't kicked a ball yet apart from Pascal we need a totally new defence it's a bodge up job from start to finish
