And it takes only 3 members of a self-styled clique with multiple alias's to ruin their forum, a forum that once attracted 1,000's that they themselves don't even frequent now and is down to about 6 people stroking each other's egos about how clever they are on any given topic - Dandelions, Otters and the outdoors is a specialty of one particular member (go and get bored to death on that if you like) :roflmao:
Another claims to work in a fictional laboratory making covid vaccines etc to save the world he's actually killing (think Walter Mitty) :)
And another who's job description seems to change on a daily basis to suit the discussion, laughable :lol: :roflmao:
And whatever you do don't make the mistake of thinking the 3 podcast guys appear on there- they deserted years ago when the backslapping gang took over :roflmao:

No need :tup:

Must dash.

Great points from Brownie

How many times quickly Leeds concede, after taking the lead

Eleven points chucked away.

Our defence - you can't put all the blame on Cooper.

Marsch's substitutions.

A big call on Jack Harrison.

Jeez when will folk wake up !

You cannot have a decent defence if you're asking 2 of them to go awol ffs - Marsch's defence.

You cannot have a decent defence if you're asking your team to play how Bert did ffs - Berts defence.

YOU CANNOT BLAME THE DEFENCE WHO ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO DEFEND !!!.

You can blame the defence in a Mourinho team.

Are we all in agreement that when we went 2-3 up v Spurs that we tried to defend and see the game out ?

Well that's how fcking shite our defence is.

OUR DEFENCE CANNOT DEFEND ! IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR FOOKING YEARS AND OUR RESIDENT CLOWN IS BUYING OUR DEFENDERS, WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR PEOPLE TO START LOOKING AT HIM !!!

HOW MANY ATTEMPTS AT LB - CB - WILL IT TAKE HIM TO SUCCEED ?

Like i tried to say at the start of the season, is our current RB Jesses or Orta's.

I needn't ask really because i 100% know that he's Jesses and wouldn't be here otherwise.

Why aren't teams falling over them selves and we making gazillions of wonga when they clamour all over to sign...Douglas - Alioski - Borthwich Jackwho - Llorente - Drameh - Koch - Pascal - Firpo - Hjelde - A. N. Other

If any of them were internationals they certainly aren't now, and how many of them are going to make gazillions ala Cucurella on the transfer market ?

Massive mistake taking Roca off to bring on Ayling who is as bad as the rest defensively to be brutally honest, especially as there was still fifteen minutes to play. Also left Adams (who was on a booking) exposed having to cover all the midfield leaving us vulnerable all over the park.

Why do coaches have to meddle? Remember Cardiff at ER when we were 3-1 up.

But players like Ayling etc were absolutely fantastic when we finished 9th first season under Bert.

Whatever went so diabolically wrong ?

Complete mystery.

Did the same at Southhampton on match day 2....similar outcome. But at least we got a point out of that.

I've always admired Ayling when others were critical of him, Kenny boy.

Tbh, he wasn't a great defender two years ago, love his enthusiasm, but now his age is catching Luke up, especially at this level.

Anyway I was answering your question, "did we tried to defend and see the game out", truth is yes we did :(

If Roca had remained on the pitch maintaining control of the game, we'd have acquired the victory or at least a point we deserved.

Both Connor and Gabe speak sense. Funnily enough, they'd be called "negative" on here :lol:

Yeah after Jesse banged on all week about playing in a heatwave and how he had it in hand.

Hope he learned something.
