Leeds United vs Brentford Match Thread

Others don't post in the game because they like to watch the game.

Well said sir. I would much rtaher focus on the match than be bashing away at the keyboard.

Which shows that their squad is strong as their squad players were playing in their first team without any noticeable drop off. That is the difference as established prem teams have squad players who are nearly as good as their starters.

Reiss Nelson didn't come onto the pitch which renders the point about him irrelevant. We've had the likes of Luke Chambers on our bench for matches and he hass played 0 minutes this season.

Our squad players barely get a chance

They had a winger at wing back, a central midfielder right of a front 3 and a 32 year old cb who hadn't played a Premier League minute for 3 months in the starting 11.

They were under strength same as Sunderland but we were too afraid to really push them.

I'm not getting involved in all the gloom & doom misery on here, where everything is always greener on the other side.

They need to get off their backsides & go support their club.

Or even better, go support another club, and moan at them

[GreennWhite]

Along with the Sunderland game, I do wonder why I bother sometimes.

Was at both & Lord they were hard to watch, still managed to pull another point clear of Wet Spam & Spuds though despite all the angst on the forum.

Just home this afternoon, yeah it was a stih game and the coffers are empty again but we had a great few days away & met up with 64 & OB for a chat. Big shout out to the lads from The Leeds United Supporters Club of Scandinavia who we met up with as well.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

A lot can change in a game. We're nowhere near safe enough to make that declaration yet.

Don't worry - I've followed this club's fortunes for far too long to ever count my chickens...it does look a bit better after today's results though.

Crikey all these problems and they are still 7th in the league. It's a modern day miracle. Oh my god a winger playing as a wing back, jeez I wouldn't have believed that if I had read it in the Daily Sport - that sort of thing has never happened in football before.

OMG a central midifelder playing a bit further forward - that is just wow. Consider my flabber well and truely ghasted. That's harder to believe than if my left testicle wandered off one day, invented a time machine and won Wimbledon in 1952 - my right testicle maybe.

What's this another one. A centreback, 32 years old you say, no at that age I'm not having that. Not played for 3 months and then plays and does okay. I bet he hasn't even been training or anything. My mind is blown.

No wonder you are so negative about our club - if you'd have said that these things could happen no one, and I repeat for no reason no one, would have believed it. We should have won by at least 27 goals.

Oh sh*t the bed - don't anyone tell Cjay our left wing back was right footed.

No point you won't change the mindset of the Farke haters. I don't recall us going for draws in the first championship season under Farke. From what I rmemeber we were playing catch-up and it seems that quite a few times we lost matches because we were in a position where we had to go all out for wins as a draw would have seen Leicester and Ipswich pulling further clear. In hindsight if we'd have settled for draws sometimes we may have ended that season with more points and possibly finished top 2. The only time I can recall Farke going for a draw was the Norwich away leg in the play-offs and with us winning the home leg 4-0 afterwards I think it was a vindicated decision.

Like you say we started with 2 up top as well as Aaronsen in preference to Gruev. it was one of those games where it just didn't click. Similarly like you say the substitutions made were all attack minded. Though some fans, it would appear, think taking off Struyjk to bring on Dan James was us battenign down the hatches to secure the point!

I wish people would stop using the term " hater " when others merely debate and offer their opinions on what is simply the topic of professional performance.

I mean should I label all the people who have ever criticised anything that I have done in my life as being ' haters ? "

It's a ludicrous tendency in today's world to misuse the term ' hater." and it's really no wonder that people always seem to be so polarised these days. It's like people have lost any sense of what the words " debate " and " tolerance" "mean. It reminds me of the way identity politics has gone - you either adopt my worldview or else you're a "hater. " No room for any middle ground - everything is binary and polarised.

Ah you've resorted to your condescending rubbish ok.

What a funny and witty man you are.

5 of those injuries happened this month (they haven't won a game).

But yes let's be sarcastic and call people haters because they don't fawn over every choice Saint Daniel makes and suggest perhaps we could do better with different decisions.

I was showing how absurd your reaosns why we should have won were.

Oh my god Brentford haven't won a game this month - wow what a headline. Oh hang on including the game against us they have only played 3 league games and drawn them out - the headline can stay the same but the context is all important.

You just twist things and over exagerate things so you can have a go at the club. I just don't see why. It is like you are obsessed with having to find something to knock either Farke or the club.

Yes we are all disappointed we didn't beat Brentford. But the way you spin it you'd think Brentford had cobbled together a team that hadn't kicked a ball rather than a couple of players playing in slightly different roles and an experienced (shock horror 32 year old) defender playing his first match for a while (not first match ever).

Haven't twisted anything.

Said I felt we didn't play well (we didnt).

Felt we could have pushed Brentford harder as the home side at full strength whereas they were under strength and not in the best form.

Felt we again played it overly safe in terms of taking minimal risks same as Sunderland.

And left it very late to even try to change it up with James for Struijk but still kept the cautious style.

And I think the subs were wrong.

So yes I think Farke got it wrong vs Brentford overall.

Not twisted, said my opinion and why.

A point COULD be valuable but we won't know till the end of the season.

As for why people get so defensive of their opinions it's probably because they get called haters or have long droning unfunny waffle directed at them or have their opinions dismissed because they don't go to matches and aren't therefore a super fan.

Only really fans go to matches, have a permanent grin plastered on their faces and have carpal tunnel syndrome from repeated clapping, no matter badly we play and how s**t the results are

[Sean_Nile]

Every one is entitled to their own opinion but we have to perceive the intents and purposes of the proclamations be they for good or evil.

King Plod whispers in Saint Daniels ear.

Remember your times with Norwich, they will come back to haunt you.

You couldn't even win against a depleted Sunderland and Brentford team.

When I say attack I really mean defend, but don't be timid in defence that will result as a draw in the battle.

You have players you could throw into the battle but you never use them, how stupid is that.

A little sleep , a little folding of the hands, and relegation will creep up on you like a thief in the night.

Sleep perchance to dream.

hush by baby on the tree top when the wind blows the cradle will rock, when the wind blows the cradle will fall and down will come baby cradle and all.

You are a failure and always have been

Well it's taken just over 24 hours since our 0-0 draw at home to Brentford, but we now have all the toys firmly out on the floor

Our good friend across the road from us is a Hull City fan, she is passionate about her club & won't hear a bad word said about her team/players, even when results are not going well.

Proper football fans do not constantly slag their club off at any given moment.

Think of soldiers going into battle, think of a group of murmurers who constantly grumble, boots to tight, uniform to small, poor rations, incompetent commanders, poor battle plan, not the right calibre of fighting men.

It wouldn't work wonders for morale or fighting spirit.
