rock bus 879 Posted May 12 We’re still in it! Why not save the negativity until after Thursday if that’s what you want. For now can’t we all try to get behind the team and the manager? 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,094 Posted May 12 (edited) How many minutes of the game does everyone think this was this thread was pre-written by, checking the clock just waiting for final whistle to press submit? I'm going 80 minutes. Edited May 12 by All the Germans 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, it's our best result against Leeds this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IE today, bar the first 15mins. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes we’re still in it and anything can happen but I think we all knew to have a decent chance there we had to take some kind of cushion into the match. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,343 Posted May 12 Leeds were favourites to win today. This match reminded of the first leg last season, Coventry v Boro, it was awful. If we’re brave like the Sky Blues were 2nd leg we can do this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,265 Posted May 12 It's a bad result in context of losing our home advantage but the reality is we're now 90 minutes away from a final at evens when before we were 180 so, so far so good. The second half after the withdrawal of Rowe and Dimi was woeful but we held out and didn't concede. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S_81 953 Posted May 12 The wrong tactics for 2/3rds of that game. Leeds looked wobbly at the back.  The keeper was having a mare. So we decided to ease off and let them run the game. Exactly why I want Wagner gone this summer. Hopefully on Thursday night he shows why I’m wrong 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But given Wagner's tendency to put 11 behind the ball against the best teams away I think we'd all have been pretty nervous had we gone there with a lead. In the end, they finished 17 points ahead of us for a reason - they are the better team, and certainly the better squad. We're second favourites to get to the final. But we're still in it. And the pressure is far more on them than us. Completely take your point, though. Edited May 12 by Robert N. LiM 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 5,087 Posted May 12 (edited) Anyone know if away goals are a thing in the play-offs? 0-0 a marginally better result for us if so. Edit: a quick google suggests not. Edited May 12 by Robert N. LiM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, this thread is here to slate the team for having only one shot on target, but from that you managed to glean their keeper was having a mare.  Ok. I guess that makes sense in Noddyland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their keeper had a mare with his feet in the first 20 or so - when put under pressure by pressing. Something we stopped doing, as we sat off instead the next hour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,110 Posted May 12 Home Advantage gone i think it makes it easier for Wagner now no smart tactics trying to defend a lead just two teams one Game winner takes all ,  i think Farke has advantage in this situation as he will end up with 3 strikers on the pitch pushing forward , Wagner only has one he just come off with a knock Barnes is still on way back from injury and SVH is sunday league level  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
