Leeds Utd 2-2 Newcastle Utd - Post Match Debate.

[Kennyb41]

We just literally cannot put the onus on our defence to keep a clean sheet, i hope to jesus he's learnt that.

If he does it will be pure luck, of that i'm sure.

[Cjay]

Don't think he will do anything drastic like give the youth a chance.

He's an old fashioned manager and expect him to go with the same tried and tested dull players.

Said as much in his press conference about pressure on younger players.

[Cjay]

Allardyce disagrees.

He would be happy with a point by the sound of things

Does sound like that doesn't it

Would be a mistake to have the same negative setup and performance as we did vs Man City.

But that is his way I suppose.

I suppose if Forest, Leicester and Everton Lose then a point is good

But if they all win that's us basically done

Personally think we are past the decent point stage now.

[lufc1304]

Even getting a point feels like a tall order, all 3 even more so. But I agree with Cjay; in our predicament, a point isn't really going to be enough. Stops the loss rot, maybe gives the players a modicum of belief, but nothing more.

Remember this last season, when we outplayed the barcodes particularly in the first-half with Raphinha running the show, only for Shelvey to spoil our day.

Newcastle were sitting on 12 points prior to that game, the victory transformed their season as they avoided relegation comfortably on 41 points.

I was thinking about that game too

A season is a long time in football

[whiteinfrance]

Nothing wrong with a bit of aggression as long as its controlled.

Need to get VAR involved there! LOL

Transformed by there Dictatorship lead owners.

Was always going to happen (maybe just not this fast).

Howe has done a great job.

Joelinton, Wilson, Alison transformed under him.

But vital players like Pope, Botman, Guimaraes, Isak, Trippier

Wouldn't be there without the Saudi money.

Unless we have a takeover like that we haven't much chance

Quite why we never seem to get this sort of interest baffles me.

[Barlow Boy]

IF we did get a point tomorrow, which seems Big Sam would be happy with, and the other three lost Forest (at Chelsea), Everton (home Citeh) and Leicester (at Liverpool) then I can see where he would regard that as a good weekend with two games to go.

It’s a very risky strategy though, we only have to look at last weekend to see how results can go haywire.

If I’ve looked at the table once today, I’ve looked at it a thousand times

After Monday I cant look at it

[Barlow Boy]

Time will tell Ian.

I haven’t been as nervous about a game in a long time as I am tomorrow. On that last day of last season, I just knew (sixth sense) we would be fine, and I’m still confident (just) this season but blimey it’s going to be tight either way.

Trippier & Wood were the new signings who played against us, Wood wasn't much good. Newcastle taking him off Burnley probably did us a favour.

[1964white]

But vital players like Pope, Botman, Guimaraes, Isak, Trippier

At least they have spent their money wisely.

Guimarees £40m, Botman £37m.

Look what we wasted nearly £40m on in January, to go along with several wasteful signings prior to our male model.

I've been nervous for much of the season, as the writing was on the wall prior to the World Cup.

I was hoping the inevitable would be resolved around the new year, unfortunately it just became worse.

I'm now in resignation mode, feeling rather numb if truth be told.

Whatever will be, will be is my thinking now, quite relaxed about it all, mate.

Im in full apathy mode.
Problem is you get closer to game time and you get your hopes up.... then they come crashing down.

Im actually glad that we play in the early game now as no mater happens I can just switch of the social media and check the scores later.

Same here Leon, I'm now focused on the tennis season, looking fwd to the French open, Queens and Wimbledon. I feel very let down this season by both of my beloved football clubs. Leeds United and Wakey Trinity. Resigned to failure by both.

[The Subhuman]

Looking forward to it as always

They've spent well.

There owners may be a front for a brutal Dictatorship but they are serious people with a plan.

We have a mishmash of random faceless investors fronted by an accountant who've been sniffing around for a decade and a Italian chancer whose let an arrogant fantasist go unchecked

Kieran Trippier is a classic example

£12 million. Not much different to what we paid for Rasmus.

But look at the difference in quality and contributions.

We'd never sign a player like Trippier though because he's too old. Therein lies the problem.

There's something in the water in Yorkshire, the largest county in the UK.

Our once great football, rugby, cricket clubs are now distinctly average, all down to poor management.
