Rotherham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Carrick Dave]

Pascal should have won it the game for us.

For a big lad, he's missed a few from set-pieces over the last three seasons.

Alternately, who has scored more from CB?

[Kennyb41]

Best i wait till tomorrow.

But fck me DF you're gonna get it full bore.

Really don't understand why Charlie isn't on the bench. Poveda shouldn't be, we have enough wingers starting or on the bench. Joseph looks big strong this season and we know he has a nose for goal and is something of a predator

I don't think it's lack of depth, I think it's the subs or replacements are not the right ones and we end up out of shape...

Charlie & Mateo should be preferred above Coops & Bamford.

I despaired when I saw Poveda coming on.

[1964white]

Nailed it geezer.
Bamford like a giraffe on drugs. How he steps offside I’ll never know.
Firpo was playing. Are you sure.
But a lot of players didn’t look on their game at all.

We'll concede goals with Coops & Firpo in our back-four even at this level.

[1964white]

You've said it yourself Leon. Leeds Utd are everyone's Cup Final. I was yelling at the TV in the first half because of our tippy tappy going nowhere football, but Rotherham stepped up second half and deserved their point. I get it that your p'd off because you expected a rout. So did I and we should have won it first half.

I believe we all shared the same frustrations, Swannie.

[JoeDenver]

Bamford looked active, ( joke in there somewhere) in real time and I can see why the ass ref raises the flag.

Shitty outcome though.

Agree Ian. Is it me or does it seem like any and all close, 50/50 calls always go against us?

It’s true but without Coopers clearance we lose.
But yes he’s scary slow. Any pace like Ipswich have and he’ll get roasted. Probably won’t be in the team mind you.

[1964white]

I didn't and maybe that arrogance is our downfall as a team and fans. I said this was a trap game and I was right, I think we win it 3pm on a Saturday.. A lot of our players wouldn't have trained much this week

Farke confirmed some didn't train at all.

[1964white]

Alternately, who has scored more from CB?

None Dave, Struijk seems to score more goals with shots than headers, I might be wrong.

[The Subhuman]

Farke confirmed some didn't train at all.

Another day or two i would have been a different story... I thought we did well considering the circumstances, very unlucky not to win. I thought we deserved to even if we weren't at our best.

[The Subhuman]

I'm waiting for the highlights

I was in Scarborough a few weeks ago, I witnessed donkeys quicker than Coops

To be fair to Liam, age has caught up with him & his legs have gone. Naturally, opposition forwards target our weaknesses, I stand by statement, we'll concede more goals with Coops & Firpo in our back-four.

It would seem Cooper has picked up a hamstring injury, maybe Farke will look to Charlie as our third CB now, and dispense with the stupid notion we have to play our captain.

Yes.

Charlie is a RCB, Coops a LCB though.

Joseph needs to be given a chance over Paddy, might be the next big Leeds thing.

And before Jaidon Anthony. That was a real surprise.

[1964white]

[Carrick Dave]

In the end, however we slice it we were a goal up against Rotherham after 7 minutes and didn’t win.

Not good enough for automatic promotion.

I think Daniel had a brain-freeze there, Andrew.

[whiteinfrance]

Poveda did ok to be fair

We can give up then?
