I think that for a lot of the game, they were a better passing side in midfield but lacked a cutting edge up front. We had the better defence.

[quote user="Malcolm Mawkin"]Good post. They just seem to live on the past and still think they are the best in Europe. By all this thuggery and hooliganism it just shows how much it hurts them to be a very poor team stuck in Division 3. Long may it continue to be honest.[/quote] Your comment on ''thuggery and hooliganism'' is a joke. In response to another thread on here which read ''We all stopped in front of the Nelson singing and abusing Leeds'', you replied - ''Yep a good mob was out today for Norwich. Not gonna let those Leeds scum take the p*ss in our fine city are we.'' Glad to see that you''re not displaying the same ''thug and hooligan'' mentality, then....

[quote user="Graham Humphrey"]He might have no right foot... but there are plenty of players with no left foot and they don''t get criticised for that do they? [/quote] Yeh, that Ryan Giggs bloke is all left foot and look at what a poor a player he is!

[quote user="Lambo"]Snodgrass is a quality player, however, Grayson bringing off Kilkenny was the difference IMO, he had a great game.[/quote] Agreed. This was a mistake by Leeds, in my opinion.

I forgot to add - make sure you''ve got some form of anti-spyware or virus protection running, as usuing P2P type programmes can end up with malware on your computer, which will slow it down.

Firefox is better, as it ''buffers'' more quickly than Internet Explorer. Just Google ''Firefox'' and download it from there. (Internet Explorer won''t be replaced, so you can still use it later).

Best wishes for the future - enjoy the game today!

[quote user="Brendo "]Just shows how stupid you guys are, and how you comment on my stuff just cause it''s me. The other guy who did one very similar to mine, only got 1 comment. Wonder why. [*-)] [/quote] Because you''ve posted this type of stuff before. It''s just attention-seeking and you need to grow up.

[quote user="Good Touch For A Big Man"]Its on the BBC website they don''t tend to make calls like that unless its true.[/quote] Thanks for the update.

Has the injury been confirmed as a ruptured AT?

[quote user="Stevie Wonder"] [quote user="Askounin"][quote user="HoolaGirl"]Yet another season where it looks like Leeds might end up in the playoffs. I feel sorry for their fans, and I know they''ve come on here a lot to give us grief but how would we feel if we were stuck in this league year after year with such promising starts? Hopefully they stick with their manager as he seems like one of the nicer managers in the league.[/quote] Leeds fans are the most arrogant cu*ts in the country. Do you think they would feel sorry for us if the roles were reversed? Let em rot dirty arrogant leeds scum [/quote] A bit harsh...and a tad unnecessary! Have you been on WACCOE a bit too much? There have been quite a few decent Leeds fans on here of late - sure there have been some numpties on here like SPAINBOY but you only have to trawl through this site after we have lost to realise we have our fair share of them too! Some of our fans are starting to get like SPAINBOY to be honest with all the boasting on here currently. Personally, I think we need to wait a further 4 or 5 games before we get too "Billy Big Borelocks"! [/quote] I couldn''t agree more. Pride before a fall, and all that!

[quote user="Asobi Seksu"][quote user="LinkNR9"] [quote user="Asobi Seksu"]We can harldy talk most Norwich fans do this all the time! [/quote] What a load of rubbishyou are talking! Are you a Leeds troll or something? [/quote] Fuck you! I have had a season ticket since I was 6 I gave it up last year becasue I moved to Brighton! I have friends who still have season tickets. Didn''t people boo at half time at the Southend game??????????? [/quote] That''s "all of the time", is it? We''ve got fantastic supporters, believe me.

[quote user="Smudger"][quote user="LinkNR9"][quote user="Smudger"][quote user="LinkNR9"] [quote user="Good Touch For A Big Man"]I would''nt start with McNamee at the moment. However I think Smudge makes a valid point about him possibly pushing us higher up the field. Hughes was totally ineffective when he came on and we seemed to drop even deeper. Felt he could have come on as sub.[/quote] It''s nothing to do with one midfielder. As you probably know, it''s the back four that dictates how deep the team plays. (When a team defends a narrow lead, there''s sometimes a tendancy to drop off so that the ball isn''t played in behind a nervy back four, so that they have to turn to defend; this is especially so if your back four isn''t blessed with pace). You might have seen Lambert doing his nut on a couple of occasions this season when this has happened. In turn, this pulls the midfield back and then the front players back, so that the opposition doesn''t exploit the spaces.   [/quote] I think that you are wrong here.  It is mainly the midfield who dictate how far up the pitch the rest of the team sits. Too deep an you invite pressure on to the midfield and the back four. We were not winning anywhere near enough ball in the centre of the pitch yesterday.  Was this our midfields fault or were the defence to blame? We had Russell, Smith and Lappin rarely going out of their own half before half time - which obviously invites teams to launch attack after attack at you.  We were lucky that it was only Swindon Town and not a team that could of taken advantage of how far back we sat. [/quote] We''ll have to agree to disagree here. However, having played semi-pro football, I''m confident with my post. I''m presuming that you''ve played at a higher level, Smudger?  [/quote] No only a few games at a similar level and not the most gifted of players either.  Simply a very hard grafter who worked his heart out foir the team, done the simple things well and made those who played alongside him feel confident that I would be grafting and winning the ball and not giving it away cheaply either. [/quote] All teams need one of those, Smudger (like Russell for this season).

A good post. I think that some people on here are assuming too much. I''ll start celebrating when it''s mathematically impossible for us to be caught in the automatic spots. However... it''s lovely to see Dirty Leeds whacked!

Don''t give up your day job.

[quote user="Smudger"]...and we are losing out so much as a team defensively by playing such a lazy individual on the wing... [:$] Is it not about time that this myth was buried once and for all? We have only conceded one goal so far (at home to Southend) with McNamee on the pitch! [/quote] Would McNamee have prevented Swindon''s goal on Saturday? No (the Doc slipped on the wet pitch and lost his player, who nodded it in). Huddersfield''s goal the week before came from another defensive lapse at a corner (Nelson lost his player on that occasion).  I know you don''t want Lappin in the team, but your argument just doesn''t hold water.   

Have looked at the goal again and it seems like he simply lost his footing on the wet pitch. Annoyinh, but just one of those things.

[quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]I''ve praised him up this season but I have finally got round to watching the Swindon goals and Doc really got caught flat footed and failed to attack the ball, the equaliser was down to his poor marking I''m afraid. I associate this area of the game as one of his strengths so I''m sorry Gary but it was your error. I do believe, however, the shock of conceeding this late goal will nicely galvanise our players for the visit of Leeds.[/quote] Yep, he''s made a mistake. But when Holt misses an open goal or a midfielder sends a pass into the stands, nobody opens a post to criticise about it.  If the midfield / attack had kept hold of the ball better for a couple of minutes in injury time, we wouldn''t have conceded the corner in the first place.   

Another 4 wins and a couple of draws should secure it.

I had a bit of an itch on my elbow, but that''s about it, really.

[quote user="birchfest"]Its only because it was in the 90th minute that it feels raw, if it had been us scoring in the 90th we would all be very happy with still the same point being gained. Leeds have a very very difficult game on Monday and then have to come to our place..... I know whos position I would rather be in! Point gained at this stage in the season, away from Home at 4th place Swindon. [/quote] That''s a very good way at looking at it!
