Leeds United v Rovers: Boxing Day 2018, 3pm

[Guest]

Not sure why everyone is aghast at the referee giving them their second?

There’s goal line technology in the champipnship.

Wasn't it Rothwell who made the awful pass which let Leeds in for the winner?

It was! That's why he doesn't start! Giving ball away under no pressure!

Exactly! Biesla was shaking Mowbray's hands after the game, Mowbray just shrugged his shoulders as though its alright and its okay.

To be fair it looked like there'd previously possibly been a confrontation on the touch line with one of the Leeds assistant staff and TM initially looked like he wanted to carry it on until Bielsa calmed him down which was what the subsequent shrugging and hugging was about I think.

spineless, negative, shocking performance,   .. clueless tony with his scared as hell tactics,  players out of position , no widemen, no proper competition for graham,  poor left backs,  and a diabolical partnership in smallwood and evans in the centre, glad it was broken up today and rodwell had a run out as im of the opinion rodwell and reed should be our centre pair, rothwell behind graham and buy two wide men (dack will be gone in january no doubt, who would want to stay and play in this team right now? spineless)

[OJRovers]

Total joke. It's gone too far now this conceding in the last 5 mins. New defenders needed in January. And some actual wingers to play on the wing.

This is what you get by playing square pegs in round holes.

If Rothwell played every week we'd be top of the league.

Hope you are right as i will be furious if our manager think it's alright to lose a game.

We can all see we need a proper defender to partner Mulgrew. But a shame we cant defend for 4 minuters When we defender well for 90 minutes. sorry but Lenihan and Williams not good enough.

Mulgrew's as culpable as anyone for me. Great from free kicks, not a great defender though.

[blueboy3333]

10 points above relegation and throwing away 3 points again. This needs to get better very quickly.

To be fair he did more in 15 mins then the rest of them bar Dack with regards to taking the threat to them. At least he bloody runs with the ball.

By an absolute mile our best defender though.

We out Blackburned ourselves 

I have to laugh, otherwise I'll cry, and it's not a good look for the family at Xmas.

Players to blame for that sh*t show at the end, not Mowbray I’m afraid. Basic game management that’s taught at high school level.

I’ve read the interview regarding January by TM and i have to disagree we need more bodies desperately and a shake up if we’re to avoid be dragged into a relegation scrap.

[windymiller7]

I feel physically sick after watching those last few minutes! Why can't we ever see a game out?!!

Merry fecking Christmas!! Cheers Tony!

[SBlue]

Blaming Mowbray for that madness at the end is ridiculous. If we hadn’t scored the second we get a well deserved point probably.

[Sparks Rover]

I'd get that ex Fulham manager in straight away and give him some coin for January.  

[bazza]

I was feeling so sorry for myself after that then I checked the Forest result. They must be as gutted as us.  We've GOT to stop shipping late goals.

[yellowsubmarine]

Thought we had one more day of rest than Leeds?

TM speaking to TV: “We worked extraordinarily hard today. Leeds are a great team but we managed to throw it away in added-time. But there are so many positives to take.”

Mowbray is responsible for the coaching of these players ffs. If they can't see out games it's because they aren't being coached to do so.

But as he's proved on more than one cameo appearance he's a bit of a liability as he loses the ball a lot, just like AA, BB and Palmer in fact. Bit of a pattern here.

Won't happen but good shout.

At least we'd see some decent football.

With all due respect Tony, take your positives and shove them where the sun doesn't shine.

At least they got a draw. We got nothing for our effort.

Its a mentality thing, somehow we ALWAYS are afraid in the last 10 mins of the game.
