Leeds (A) - Same as last year lads... kind of.

[davefarnworth]

Be ever surprised if Mowbray is gone soon. Leave it to the New Year with the poor January acquisitions (a couple of tidy midfielders who aren't quite ready). He really is a poor manager given a carte blanche by pathetic owners. I despair over this once great club of mine

Would love to see Butterworth get a run of 5 games in place of Armstrong, wouldn't be surprised if he was a big improvement.

A cone would be a big improvement on Armstrong right now.

I thought it probably was, either way, Adarabioyo totally bottled it, incredibly flimsy, cowardly, passive defending which sums up our defending as a whole, both today and in general.

We have been absolutely horrendous. On the ball, we have been nothing short of a joke, it has shown the stats on screen at half time and our passing accuracy is 49%. We have had 26.1% possession. No one has had any composure throughout the team.

Literally nobody comes out of that half with any credit, but Armstrong deserves a special mention because he has been particularly terrible. Not only does he do nothing going forward, he quite clearly cant be arsed and never does anything going back, regardless of what Mowbray says about him.

The manager is again to blame, partially for building such a poor squad, no matter what people say this squad is never a top 6 challenging one regardless of manager, although the current manager is doing a great job of making them look worse than they are.

Lets hope these comments look a little premature at full time but dont let the 2-1 scoreline fool you, we have been embarrassing.

What? He tried to pull out of the tackle and, if anything, was fouled by the Leeds player as a result.

[Husky]

I guess we'll find out if the first 45 was our good or bad one.

Why he was pulling out in that position I have no idea, but he still clumsily made contact.

[Miker]

Gallagher has been dreadful. Armstrong anonymous. 

How long until Graham and Rothwell come on?

[Tom]

Amazed people are saying it’s clearly not a penalty, It’s soft but it’s a foul anywhere on the pitch

So he didn't give away a penalty?

80 mins when it's 3-1.

Can't even blame that on auto-correct!

He did.

This ref is hilariously poor.

100% a penalty. Crap defending.

Gallagher out on the right then? Why not just bring Rothwell on for Armstrong and Graham for Gallagher?

The only reason for giving Armstrong another 15 mins was surely to help protect Danny's legs?

 

[G Somerset Rover]

60 mins in, still just the one shot on or off target.

[OldEwoodBlue]

65 minutes and our "strikers" have not had a single shot. Nil. Zilch. Never mind not on target.... not a single shot.

Del had the only shot. Are these strikers even strikers ?

mowbray sets the team up not to concede,we are not likely to see shots flying in,all the more frustrating for me because  our biggest strength is going forwards,why he insists on containment with a terrible defence is a mystery to me

Gallagher has played well with the scraps given to him. Think it'd be harsh to take him off, especially when we're looking for a goal.

He's done nothing, again. Graham has done more in the five minutes he's been on.
