Leeds Utd v Nottingham Forest Match Thread

[Cjay]

Not sure why Roofe took the risk, looked to be going in to me.

[becchio bear]

I personally thought we should have won. They got a flukey early goal and then used negative park the bus tactics. We are not clinical in front of goal, this needs to be addressed.

[SG90]

Yes we were fortunate but then again we had a penalty given against us that was a dive, but no one said anything or felt sorry for us. It was going in from Klich so he didn't have to touch it. I don't feel sorry for Forest at all as there was only one team trying to play football, teams like them and Boro are ruining football with constant timewasting and sticking ten men behind the ball rather than trying to win games.

A frustrating second half with lots of ball but lacking any real penetration. Not helped by Forest parking the bus as they say and being prepared to commit lots of fouls. Clarke showing that he is a good prospect.

Sums it up for me. Zero penentration. Pumping balls in the box Roofe is never going to win. Roofe lucky with the handball not sure it was going in.

Forshaw motm for me. Klich living on borrowed time in the first eleven for me

[SG90]

Notice Sky didn't interview one of their players straight after, like they did with Jansson.

Klich living on borrowed time in the first eleven for me

Lol. He's been player of the year so far.

[The Subhuman]

BPF - 7 - Assured and collected, gets better by the game.
Ayling - 6 - Wasn't on great form when he got injured but he's going to be missed
Dallas - 6 - Worked hard, but lacks quality and so many moves ended with him...did his part for the goal though
PJ - 8 - Immense
Coop - 7 - Hardly had anything to do
Forshaw - 7 - Good game but offers little around the box except a good shot...lacks creativity
Phillips - 6 - Another fore-shortened game. had a poor spell in the first half too, lucky not to get a red
Klich - 8 - outstanding after a slow start, his cross shot was going in for me till Roofe "helped" it home
Hernandez - 7 - Not at his best with several passes going awry but always a threat
Roofe - 7 - Curates egg of a game, some excellent some poor. Could have scored early and drew what should have been a pen plus had a hand in the goal, but not yet at his best yet

Pearce - 6 - Did nothig wrong, wasn't tested in defence really but I know he delivers a really good cross so disappointing to see him lay balls off today
Saiz - 7 - Draws players to him like a magnet and is key to our balance ..
Clarke - 8 - Bag of tricks, must be getting closer to starting he's a real prospect at any level..

[SG90]

Pablo showed he can't play twice in a week again.

[paddy parrott]

Indeed Gessa .am around long enough to remember big Dunn ; had a sip we Charlie Magri way back . Me mate Johnny lives in Bethnal Green. Bit tough around there too.

[SG90]

Fans were screaming for Saiz to be dropped, hopefully those fans realise the contribution he makes to the team.

Bizarre statement regarding Klich
Fair enough today wasn't his best game but he's been magnificent this season

yep

[rab_rant]

it looked so armless at first

Could quite put my finger on it how Roofe put that in.
If he had left it it was going in anyway.

But the boy was honest at full time interview... it was ball to hand not hand to ball as
Thierry Henry said to the Irish when France knock them out of the world cup qualifiers.
Roofe has now joined the Maradona hand of God club.

[leic white 63]

very frustrating to watch. so many poor final balls and crosses. dominated possesstion but consistently wasteful. deserved the point .

[SG90]

Still don't get why Bielsa keeps persisting with Dallas, when Alioski keeps impressing at LB.

[The Subhuman]

Roofe could have got to that with just about any part of his body, it was going in and he seemed to be falling but I don't like he handled it. We absolutely deserve the equalizer and that should have come via a pen but I'm a little annoyed with Roofe.

[Chilli D]

You can see why Forest have only lost 2 games but drawn 8 now with today's result. Once they got the goal they were quite happy to get 10 men behind the ball and see if we could break them down.
BPF had once of his easiest games this season, they offered absolutely nothing going forward in the second half. Other teams will find them difficult to break down.

What annoys me most is everyone will go on about this for ages, but the dive for Brentford's penalty was completely ignored and brushed under the carpet.

[danhirons]

No way. Does little aside from score the goals imo which have dried up lately

[leic white 63]

spot on. thought he was poor today and looked tired.
