Leeds United 2-2 Newcastle United (13/05/2023)

[Andy84]

Bah, I’m gutted at that like, I’d like a favour from Wolves and Leicester now

[St1pe]

I don’t think Gordon did too badly despite all the criticism. Good run that nearly won is a pen and should have done better with the FK we got. He definitely needs time. 
 

Would start Murphy over all of them for the rest of the season.

You guys are fucking hilarious. Anyone with an ounce of common sense could see that that was always going to be a horribly difficult game. Apart from an awful opening 25 mins, we were dogged, had plenty of positive play, but just couldn’t get the winner. Very unlucky with their equaliser.

 

People seem to forget there are two teams playing… it’s not just about us… it’s also about a Leeds team absolutely fighting for their lives.

 

 

 

 

Couldn't agree more.

 

Some right entiled heads starting to grow,

 

What happened to , "we just want a team that tries."

How was the Isak and Wilson experiment in the first half?

 

A mess with Joelinton playing DCM and Isak taken out of the game wide left.  

[Yorkie]

Any accusations of bottling is properly triggering. So unfair on this exceptional bunch of players who are among some of the strongest mentally I've ever seen in my time supporting the club. 

 

We literally came out the right end of three penalties - easily one of the hardest mental challenges in the whole sport.

 

They had to fight for everything to secure that point. Could easily have gone the other way. 

[Sima]

Wilson should have stayed on over Isak imo.

[Nine]

We got a point away at an Allardyce side that’s fighting for their lives while we have tired legs across our team, it’s not a bad result. 

[Kid Icarus]

A result that should hopefully instill some humility in the naive assertions that good team beats bad team when it gets to this stage of the season. Teams are battling, nerves set in, and everything's chaotic, nothing is straightforward or a given.

 

Honestly, a good point and a bad point imo. So many offshoots from that result where we were lucky to get a point, naive when we were ahead, and robbed by the ref as well. 

 

I'll take it as a positive result in the context of a poor performance where we could have easily lost. Outside of that context and having been 2-1 up, it's poor though. You have to target our two home matches now

 

Pope: 10

Tripper: 4

Schar: 6

Botman: 6

Burn: 5

Bruno: 5

Joelinton: 5

Willock: 6

Almiron: 5.5

Wilson: 8

Isak: 7

5th is the worst we can finish now, geed up, I'd have taken that in August 

 

What a bottle job by the lads. Pathetic. Mentally weak cunts. Expected 3rd place to be worst case by this stage personally.

Anyone been a bit disappointed with Botman in recent weeks?

 

Doesn't feel as imperious as he was earlier in the season

No.  He is 23 and has been fucking impressive in his first season.  Shit happens.

 

We are at the sharp end the season and everyone is fighting.  2-2 is not a bad result. 

 

[Displayname]

It’s been so many games this second half of the season. No wonder why our little squad show signs of tiredness. 

[Sima]

Got to play ASM on the left on Thursday.

 

Gordon/Isak are poor as starters.

[Jordan]

Feel like bringing Gordon in instead of a centre mid in January could cost us CL.

Disappointed for the fans reaction more than the teams display. I am serious.

On here like 

[HaydnNUFC]

If Wilson and Isak start together Isak has to be central. 

 

Gonna head out for a few pints so can avoid this thread of shite take central. 

[Willow]

Super bad luck with that deflection like..

 

At least we didn't lose I guess. Hope the fannies get to change their sodden undies or at least dry them out in the sunshine this afternoon

[Aiston]

Need a miracle now for top4.

[Superior Acuña]

Game was very much how I imagined, I was nervous for this one. Feared a loss, frustrating but okay with a point.

 

Some right freaks raging about it, can't comprehend what you must've been feeling for the last 20 years and how you're still alive.

[Miggys First Goal]

I think the “fanny” “pathetic” and “bedwetter” comments coming from some in here is harsh. People are entitled to feel a bit concerned at the thought of missing out on top 4 and our performances not being as good as they’ve been during the season. 

[Numbers]

Could make a twitter account similar to the deluded RTG one with some of the comments in here

[Holloway]

Where - places and that

We're - an abbreviation of we are

Were- where you were at 

[Chapo]

Worse thing for me was Leeds are as bad of a team as I’ve seen and we barely looked capable of scoring from open play. 

[Interpolic]

Just now, Disco said:

Poor until they switched Isak central 

 

I think this is the answer going forward tbh, Isak is not involved enough wide left and it knocks our balance off. Back to one of them on the bench or 4231 hopefully.

 

Longstaff's injury just gives us a real headache cos we had a system that was working well. 

[The Prophet]

Not ideal, but it could turn out to be a valuable point come the end of the season. Over to Man United and Liverpool.

[BGRM]

People’s reactions on here man. It’s still in our hands. We don’t have a God-given right to finish in top 4, but I think we will. We won’t fuck this up.
