Indeed. Traore threw his hands in the air even before his shirt was tugged.

My junior high school coach would have benched me for that. "Shut up and play," he would tell me, "Let me yell at the ref,"

Not all great,some poor performances.

Have to say I would never have brought Rodrigo on who was absolutely useless until he scored . . Sums up his season really :lol:

So fair play Gracia.

Summerville did really well when he came on.

Wober was an absolute rock.

Meslier had a good game (aside from the error for the goal).

Kristensen did well as well.

Harrison had an impact as did Gnonto.

Not impressed by McKennie, Firpo, Ayling, Roca, Bamford and Aaronson.

But 3 points is all that matters

Whoever I had commentating on my stream had to ve a Wolves fan.

Unbelievably biased

Traore didn't play to the whistle, that's his fault.

Wasn't a pen either I didn't think.

Happy Cjay

Probably didn't deserve to win but will take it.

Definitely think Wolves are bang in trouble though with us and others
My dear friend. I agree with you on every point today

Do they have people linked to the home side co-commentating usually?

Only explanation I can think of.

It's even been mentioned on none Leeds reddit how bad he was.

You'd have thought his families lives depended on Wolves winning
He was pretty passionate, in fact he was bleating about whatever travesty they suffered last week v Newcastle.
He must have mentioned the pen claim ( which tbf I have seen given) almost every time a decision didnt go Wolves way.

Sounded like one of us...

Pretty true. We didn't deserve to win. Our finishing was great. Theirs was poor. Think thats the first time I've said that all season - other than the Chelsea game. Oh and maybe Anfield.

Roca & his casual pass, just boot the ball into touch. I do wonder about some of our players whether they possess a brain.

Exactly. Wolves manager should be berating Traore. Not the ref.

Am I missing something ? One goal from Bamford since he came back but he's very underrated :roll:

And there's me thinking that strikers are mainly on the pitch to score goals...

I literally thought he was poor. But I'll be giving him a 10 in the rating later.

OK

We won

It doesn't matter

So won't argue

The save was fantastic :)

DDB220 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 5:16 pm Roca is worse than Foreshaw - he never seems to win a 50/50 has poor distribution unless it is a 5-10 yard sideways or backwards pass.
If Adams is long term I hope Dallas is close to recovery.
Dallas probably won't play this season. But we need to replace Adams pace. We need someone that can get across quickly and cover the full backs. Without Adams I think we need to set up 3 in midfield. A mid and 2 wider men to compensate. I think Greewood, Gyabi, or Gray need to play to add that bit of extra pace.

I think so. We get Jim Beglin a lot, who usually shows some Leeds bias. We also get Paul Robinson a lot who always seems anti-Leeds.

He must be ex Wolves

It wasn't normal co-commentator analysis

He seemed to take it personally

Leeds are scoring goaaaaaals.......

Post by Broad Ford »

Watched most of the game walking around Leeds City centre shopping with the Mrs. Trouble was the goals came during the glitch with only celebrations followed by the replay. 🤔

4 goals, 3 points away from home, jumping 5 places is a good day at the office for Javi and his tactics.

Great result, hurra Gracia, hurra.

It's the only explanation that makes sense.

I've watched actual opposition club live streams that are less biased :lol:

He sure did. And not sure we can say that too many times this season. Nice to have the rub of the green in an otherwise luckless season.

Red card saved our bacon.

Horrible tackle on Ayling, recompense for the first-half incident when Dawson should have walked.
