mickey phelans tash 0 Posted October 20, 2009 are we getting so carried away with 2-1 defeat at the hands of a not very good Leeds side. Ive heard rumours of an open top bus parade had we got a point. The same point Carlisle managed to get in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road not so long back. Yes we have made progress in winning games and the performance was OK but we still lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DON LYCRA 0 Posted October 20, 2009 because we should of done better. if we are going to go up automatically we need to get results at the decent league one sides. we should be beating teams like mk dons away from home, and we are quite capable of beating leeds away. everything is in place (give or take a couple of positions on the pitch), we just need to grind out the away form.Last night WAS dissapointing. Theres nothing negative about that statement - its the truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted October 20, 2009 We were beaten on the merit of one mistake, struth almighty. MK Dons kicked half our team off the pitch to beat us aswell.We''re doing ok, you don''t win jack in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Kent 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Leeds might not be great, but they are still the best side in the division. If we can compete against them we can compete against everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EYEBALL119 0 Posted October 20, 2009 beaten by 1 mistake?!?! you cant argue that you should have been at least 3-1 down at that point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted October 20, 2009 But we wern''t, therefore you beat us due to one mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted October 20, 2009 And if you want to play that game, we should have been 2-0 up before you even scored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had good chances, particularly the 2 in the first 15 minutes which seem to have been forgotten about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EYEBALL119 0 Posted October 20, 2009 not really, you didnt really create 1 major opportunity. Bottom line is for all the excitement around Norwich and the way they play you were beaten by a depleted Leeds side and for all your posession struggled to really test our goalkeeper.

Lambo 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Didn''t realise the 2 chances Hoolahan and Russell had were my imagination, anywhere else but at the keeper they''d have been goals and we''d have been 2-0 up and cruising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor poor you. You wouldn''t have scored at all against us if Spillane (injured) had been RB instead of Semmy and our keeper hadn''t gifted you one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EYEBALL119 0 Posted October 21, 2009 You can all bang on about how poor Leeds are/were and how well Norwich passed the ball around. Leeds dominated almost every game last season in a similar manner, we recorded almost 75% posession at Pride Park in the Carling Cup but lost 2-1, same old story! I know its a cliche but you get nothing for performances, this league is about points on the board. Granted you''ll beat most teams in this division with your movement alone but the better teams with the better defences will be able to hold you at bay. I noticed the other day you have a rubbish record against the other top 6 teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,140 Posted October 21, 2009 Why......are so many Leeds fans keen to come on here and make excuses why they were the second best team on the pitch? If we sneaked a jammy win I''d take it and move swiftly on, not try and justify the unjustifiable. Granted, they played to the final whistle and took the result, but for a team who started the season as we did, I think they''re starting to look over their shoulders at us already.
