well i just noticed we are playing on itv+1... perhaps we might win that 1
Great performance from them, so many key players not starting so good on em
Can’t help thinking there’s an element of something you see in politics to the reaction to our performance today. Political parties sometimes set expectations for an election, debate etc very low, so they can act in a positive way when it doesn’t turn out to be a complete disaster.
I realise I’m being harsh there - we played a lot better than we have done recently and were always going to struggle once we went down to ten, it it was close to two reserve sides playing each other today though and our performance fell away badly in the second half.
I thought we were good value for money
With virtually all our first 11 out, we held Leeds to a credible draw.
I really enjoyed the game, and the atmosphere was superb in the Ninian stand
Could so easily have been a 4 or 5 goal hammering, so pleased to still be in the draw for the 4th round
We may have a big squad of players but we still need to play a bunch of "first teamers" as we are short on quality in many areas of the pitch which risks injury.
In addition losing heavily, which in this case is a real possibility, would damage team morale.
The focus, especially in our current state under transfer embargo, should be to keep key players injury free and although the revenue would be welcomed by the club, as fans we want to see first and foremost the team avoid relegation.
Indeed. The two goals were top drawer and a reminder that we have individual players with real ability. The problem is that they cannot demonstrate that ability consistently or even for substantial periods of individual games. A draw was a good result but, while I expected a hiding, I dont thinks it's too harsh to say that for much of the second half (even before the red card) that is exactly what we got. Perhaps that's just my frustration at losing a 2 goal lead but we seemed unable to do anything at all to stem the flow of Leeds attacks in the last 30 minutes.
I thought Sang was OK today- he played a great pass in behind the defence for one of the goals. Good to have Davies back and looking sharp. Rino MOM.
I do wonder about the fitness of our players. Sawyers (who I thought played very well) looks to me to be carrying a few pounds, as does Tanner who just wasn't able to get anywhere near the tempo of the game. The whole team looked shattered after 60 mins. Hudson needs to find a way of getting more intensity out of the team for longer spells of games.

A good game, at 2 - 0 at 1/2 time, I said it might not be enough if they decided to go for it, lets not forget they are a Prem team with top end players
I just hope it'll be the game to push us on, great to see ID back and playing 60 mins, Rino had a great game,
Listening to the Radio Leeds commentary of the first half and their comments have been we have no game plan, nothing up front, the two goals conceded are due to horrendous mistakes by Leeds. I kind of felt that. I didn't think we were 2-0 because we were swashbuckling, attacking, threatening their defence. If we had conceded the goals we scored we'd all be livid. Leeds at the back were utterly dreadful. We won't get much of that in the Championship.
In fairness they've been very complimentary about us defensively.
