Leeds Utd v Nottingham Forest Match Thread

[rab_rant]

Crazy atmosphere at ER. The crowd could not have been more supportive.
Scarves waving above their head. I was so expecting a win at the death.
It was like a pressure cooker in the stadium. Notts were rattled after Roofe's goal
and the yellow cards were coming thick and fast. The ref for once had a good game.
Dawson was fuming at the end and did a Jannson to the cameras as he stormed off the pitch.
Once again the commentator had to apologise for bad language... but will we see a similar
sanction and fine for him??? Naw those things only happen to Leeds.

Well fought boys to come back and get a draw. You deserved more.
Upwards and onwards.

"Important injury".

Thats all Bielsa said.

Sounds serious unfortunately, probably joining Brown and Bamford in the injury room for some time i imagine.

Well done MB for being 100% positive and chucking on clarky and saiz even for a sub he'd put on earlier. He realised NF had nothing to offer so took the bull by the horns. That move struck fear into them and we fully deserved at least a point but the number of times us lot are saying this after matches is a concern in itself . Well done MB , it's great to have a manager with bottle !

Great Dallas at RB for a few more games

I kept saying......Lewie Coyle

How we need him now with two RB's out to serious injuries it would seem

[The Subhuman]

Great Dallas at RB for a few more games

Think that should read Dallas at "RB" for a few more games ...he may settle to be fair

[whiteswan]

but I'm a little annoyed with Roofe.

Don't be faaip. From what I saw on SKY it wasn't a deliberate hand ball

[whiteswan]

Any news on Ayling?

After reading some of the comments on here earlier regarding Ayling, some people will be glad he's out of action....but not me I might add! We shall see.....

I can't understand some of the negative comments on here. Yes, we were wasteful with the final ball, but some of the stuff we are playing is just so enjoyable to watch. Second in the table with only two defeats, this team has got skill and character, and I'm loving every minute of it.

[Cjay]

Thinking about it a point was fair.

We did dominate them, had them pushed back for most of the game, they offered no threat in open play, we could still be playing now and Forest would still be camped in there own half offering no threat whatsoever.

But they defended well and were very disciplined.

And at the end of the day Roofe cheated to score, that goal shouldn't have stood.

So on balance cant begrudge them a point no matter how frustrating.

Side note, was keen to see there number 10, Carvalho.

He was shite, may as well have been sat in the stands.

[SG90]

I don't think we "cheated". Klich's shot was going in anyway, so even if he doesn't touch it we score. The amount of decisions given against us, dives for penalties, penalties given outside the box, disallowed goals etc then it's hard not to look the other way about it when we finally get a decision our way.

Absolutely, we played some breath taking stuff yesterday at times. I'm loving the season so far.

Unfortunately unless we win every game 5-0 some fans just moan. Hard to play gung ho football when the opposition have ten men behind the ball all game.

[dezzy]

We’re rushing it, almost panicked we had so much of the ball, these over the top balls need to be reduced unless we get somebody with a touch like Zlatan
This is a good side we played and we dominated up to final ball, it will click.
Clarke has to start, with Douglas back Ali to RB Pearce left wing?

[gessa]

The way teams are setting up against us we probably need to be looking for more shots from the edge of the box, may not all go in but at least make the keeper make a save, hopefully Roofe/Pablo/Saiiz there to pick up any spills. Remember KP, scoring a couple of nice ones from outside the box, Klich too has it in him.

[SG90]

We're in danger sometimes of doing an Arsenal and trying to overplay and score the "perfect" goal when sometimes having a shot is the better option. Saiz in particular does this often and frustrates by not having a shot. He'd score far more goals if he had a shot every now and again.

Nor me Gandi

All I've heard is negativity since I left the ground last night, our fans are just a bunch of moaners if we are not winning games

We are just above Boro' who are playing boring drab football, at least we're playing decent football & are 2nd in the league, something we haven't witnessed since our premiership days
