If we can't afford proper groundsmen and pay them to look after the pitch professional footballers have to adapt. But we're still a championship team.
Sorry but a championship manager, for all his knowledge being found out now in the premier league I’m afraid.

We need holding MF to control things.

It'll probably Llorente for Struijk at HT.
He can play there I read.
MB thinks we have a good enough squad.

Piss poor first half, get Struijk off, he's out his depth.

HALF TIME - Leeds United 0, Brighton 1
Leeds not got going in the first half and trail at the break.

Miserable that!

When you only play with plan A you need to be good at it, so far today we’re not.

Getting bullied a bit like Crawley too, that worries me. Potter has focused on that.

To summarise the first half. They played well, we didn't.
Un Marcelo Bielsa, solo hay un Marcelo Bielsa. Gracias Marcello. Marsching on together.

Complete dross.
Lucky to go in only one down at HT.
Bielsa needs to fix this and at least get a point.

Awful. Our passing was miserable and they had acres of space.

I've seen better pitches on dairy farms.

Yeah, noticed that Dave.
They're putting a foot in and we've got Alio, Raphinha, etc, squealing and looking to the ref.
Get stuck in lads.

Struijk in midfield is not working.

Feel bad for the lad. He is clearly a CB and not a CDM.

Klich CDM and Shacks in for Struijk please. Worked at Villa.
