Leeds Utd v Preston North End Match Thread

Excellent Rab.

The Bogle goal was very reminiscent of the Dan James one at Middlesbrough, the way he just nipped in in front of the defenders to knock in the net

[WhiteRose]

Crazy what a week can do, this time last week I was sat in a bar in Benidorm surrounded by other fans drowning our sorrows - then sheff united get beat and beat again and again whilst we pick up 6 points - oh the joys, what’s the next week got in store for us?

[Volvo Jack]

I f**king loved Jordan and McQueen, was gutted when they crossed the Pennines

Plus Greenhoff and Cantona.

[Barlow Boy]

And I missed it bl**dy flu.

Not the same on the telly.

I actually thought about you missing that mate, the noise was cascading right from the back to the front.

Incredible experience, but health comes first.

[White Riot]

Ditto

There were a number of opportunities that if Joseph had been on the park he would have been clean through on goal.

As it was we had Paddy on the pitch who missed these chances, or was caught offside, purely down to lack of pace.

Pleased we got the win, but again this is Farke failing to seize on an opportunity when their defence was pushing up and had got tired.

[White Riot]

Aye, still salty those wounds, even after all this time.

We did get Strachan and Giles though

[Barlow Boy]

That came across on LUTV, Sky not so much. Bet 64 is regretting not going now


Bet 64 ..lol

Poor Mr 64

Well I didn't get up for the live kick off. But what a way to wake up. Two 2-1 results, both in our favour. Just watched the rerun right now, so a few comments to follow.

Notably we should have scored 5. And they scored with barely a sniff at goal. Never seemed in danger of dropping points (easier to say since I knew the result)

[andrewjohnsmith]

2 wins and a tie from our last 4 secures promotion. So close. Bring on Oxford United!

Not counting on us getting 7 points - not after the run we had in the games prior to the last 2. But pretty certain Blades won't get 12 points from 4 games either.

I missed the magical atmosphere today, mate, but my main goal was to get fit & well again. As long as I'm at ER when we celebrate promotion either at the Stoke or Bristol City, that's so important for me.

[andrewjohnsmith]

We didn’t panic towards the end, that was encouraging

When I saw the score, not seeing the game, I thought it must have been a stressful finish

Watching the rerun, there was never really a threat

[andrewjohnsmith]

First back to back wins since Feb

Kind of what Ampadu does when fully fit and playing in midfield. I think Ampadu offers more though.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Bogle brilliant today.

Absolutely

[1964white]

Please, not in the same breath OB

In fact, not a single one of these lot in the same breath as our 70s greats.

Definitely ain't, James.

Me too Riot. I had a real crush on McQueen, I was so upset and in disbelief. I've hated scum with a passion ever since.

Everything crossed you’re there mate, you were missed today.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Many folk on here say when Piroe gets a chance he scores.

Untrue, he should have netted at least 25 goals this season.

I agree that has been a great finisher. But he has been going through a dry patch. A few games and today he missed a few.

I did think he had a decent all round game today. Better effort and contributions than he normally offers. But he really should have had a couple of goals.

[1964white]

I was sick as a parrot when Jimmy Greenhoff was sold then we paid £169,000 for Allan Clarke that made me feel a whole lot better about the loss of Jimmy

[andrewjohnsmith]

German striker?

I think Schadenfreude is the name of the German cake Farke will be enjoying tonight

[andrewjohnsmith]

I only started reading the match thread from final whistle comments

But what about that Rodon miss? Reminiscent of an open goal Bamford missed not long ago
