Wonder who would have taken the penalty if Piroe hadn't have been on the pitch. Summerville missed his last one Bamford's missed 3 in a row (maybe 4) and Struyjk wasn't on the pitch. I wonder if it would have been Gruev.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 10:30 pm That was my read. There was some discussion with Farke passing a message through Rodon. But I think the discussion was Piroe or Summerville.

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
Or possible Firpo, if he had still been on as well--he's been taking, and lining up for, free kicks. But with Firpo off too, my money would be on Gruev as well.
In Farke we trust...

Think we played quite well, the penalty was a great moment for me. Love when we get it done at the last minute.
Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
Feckin pundits on Sky, I should've listened to you, and myself really, if it's a close call i usually take the team that's got the handicap in their favour and Kansas were +2.5andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 11:40 pm I'm a Bills fan but wouldn't put money on them. They're better than KC right now. But they have a lot of injuries. So I'm not confident today. Bet Chiefs if they're the underdog with the bookies.
I've just woke up to this result (fell asleep at h/t)
I think i went and placed the bet prior to reading your post, where the pundit on Sky said "although they've got injuries, i still expect the Bills to win a very close game"
Good call Andrew, i shudda listened

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
I was wondering that also, possibly Ampadu, more likely Jimmy just goes and gets a hold of the ball and takes it upon himself to decide.
I'll never understand why a manager that's on the touchline doesn't scream out his orders who's gonna take it then it's on his head
If i was manager and PB went and got hold of the ball like he did before handing it to Piroe, i'd have been screaming my nut off for him to put it down and clearly making it known who i wanted to take it.

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
Game spoiling tactics - the bad ones of their 18 fouls
4m Cornell - time-wasting once Preston took an early lead
5m Keane - fouls Kamara
8m Whiteman takes Summerville out
18m Hughes fouls James
29m Hughes cynically stops James again
34m McCann & PNE targeting James with another foul
62m Lindsay cynically takes out Kamara
65m Froksjaer fouls Firpo
75m Riis fouls Rodon with a two-handed push in the back of him, PNE given a corner
76m Firpo booked for a fair challenge on Potts
79m Kruev pushed by ??? not given
81m Potts takes Summerville out
83m Cornell is booked at long last after using every trick in the goalkeepers manual to waste time throughout the whole of the game
84m Leeson cynically takes out Gruev earning himself only a yellow card
86m Stewart only on ten minutes now targeting Summerville with a poor challenge
87m Leeson already on yellow gets away with pulling over Rutter in the box
89m Stewart now in his element fouls Gruev
How Preston avoided at least two red cards is bewildering
I did say to my pals around me after the first 15 minutes of the game that Cornell would be booked in the 80th minutes, I was three minutes out with estimation.

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
Indeed, vicious tactics making the late, late penalty that much sweeter.
If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.
Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
They played the physical game to the limit. I didn’t see a red card offence personally. It was a difficult match to referee as there was so much niggle and dark arts at play. The leeson foul on Rutter late in the game was nothing. Rutter tried to make the most of very little contact. The overwhelming officiating positive is that the crucial decision, which gave us the penalty is the one the ref got right.1964white wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 9:39 am Game spoiling tactics - the bad ones of their 18 fouls

Fortunately he was in the right position - on any other day with the ref’s view slightly obscured in what was a packed 18 yard box another official may have bottled it.

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston Match Thread - My detailed report on PNE's spoiling tactics
No straight reds but certainly second bookable offences, which would have meant a red.
The lad that slammed James and him that shoved Archie into the hoardings were 2 examples.

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston Match Thread - My detailed report on PNE's spoiling tactics
Unfortunately, we have no game-changers on the bench.
We go into the second-half of the season, where only Piroe has come on & score a goal to win a game.
Also, we don't have no one who can score from a free-kick.

A couple of the challenges were cynical, cowardly tackles from the back.
Mental call it right in his post.

Re: Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread
Well done Kenny
The Lions will now have to go to play the 49ers on their home turf in the NFC Championship game.
49ers are a proper title contender, so must be strong favourites. Head says 49ers, and heart says Lions.
If I were a betting man I would go 49ers, but depends on the points spread. Both teams are on a roll.
I think visiting Baltimore in the AFC Championship game will be too much for KC. Baltimore are always known for having a ferocious defense and fanatical home support. They also have a star Quarterback in Lamar Jackson, who runs like a gazelle and is hard to contain.
KC have proven winners in Mahomes and Kelsey, but will struggle against that defense. I would go with the Ravens. But Mahomes and Kelsey are capable of winning matches on their own, like the greatest always do.

Agreed MC, Preston got away with murder and it's frustrating seeing our flair players getting continually fouled every week by lesser opponents.mentalcase wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 11:07 am No straight reds but certainly second bookable offences, which would have meant a red.

It's foul play and it ruins the match, but this is exactly what you face at this level and why we need to get promoted asap.
Re: Leeds Utd v Preston Match Thread - My detailed report on PNE's spoiling tactics
A crucial decision from Farke.
Thank god he call it right.

I didn't enjoy that game until it was over.
I've witnessed too many of these Sunday League games already this season. I'll be glad when we are out of this league.
How our players are still standing, god only knows?
Re: Leeds Utd v Preston Match Thread - My detailed report on PNE's spoiling tactics
That video shows them telling Ampadu to get that ball off PB and the orders to Piroe, just in case PB had any wild ideas.
That's a squad and staff of togetherness, enjoyed watching Firpo anorl on his toes on the byline barking, good stuff.

Preston acquired 74 yellow cards this season.
