Leeds United vs Crystal Palace - Match Thread

[The Subhuman]

One of our worst match for a long time.

Since Forest in the league ..

Palace were very decent, they play the ball to feet very well. Which is why Aaronson looked like a kid playing keep away in the playground

Still unbeaten, it's not a squad with last seasons depth so difficult to change from the bench.

[WhiteRose]

Massive shame not to get the 3 points to warm our cockles over the next 3 weeks but a point leaves us 5th which is a good start to the season in anyone’s money.

[White Riot]

Weird how Elvedi has already usurped Bijol, but Bahoya is still behind Aaronson and James in the pecking order

He just needs minutes, looks like he has pace and skill. Which are two attributes that nobody else has in our first team.

[ElKapitan]

One of our worst match for a long time.

I'd agree but would add there was a time we'd of lost that and crumbled. If we can pick up draws on a bad day that'll count for something.

He hasn’t been here long enough mate. It is nothing new. There is a 6 week induction course.

Elvedi did his in Germany.

Far too much expected after Newcastle. They were truly awful and almost certainly won’t be that bad again.
9pts is an excellent start but perhaps don’t book your European train tickets for next season. Yet…

[SG90]

Glad to still be unbeaten, but these are the kind of games we should be targeting wins - home game v a bottom half side

Got Arsenal next, which will probably be another hiding, and then scum. So a bit of a missed opportunity to not turn up.

[Tyzy]

2 draws at home already,not sure I like that

We are also unbeaten. Which is a big positive going into the Arsenal game. However I think we were last season as well

[Allrounder]

I think we stole a point tbh, very poor performance.

Arsenal will clatter us if we rock up like this at their gaff.

Just trying to figure out what happened since last game. Maybe the lads gave 120% against Newcastle and the first matches that they already felt the fatigue? Tanaka and Stach were poor today, hardly visible. We just didn’t show up. 3 full points were there to be taken before the long break. Next match is Arsenal and that could be very ugly given they were battered by Brighton and want to make things good again.

Poor game management then. We were 4-0 with over 20 mins left, so should've subbed a few players to rest them.

Only naive fan will think about Europe. First pri should be to get to those 40 points. We are not an established PL side yet.

[SG90]

Shouldn't the score at the top be changed?

It's a nice thought.

I'm sure most realise Europe won't happen based on performances.

I'm hoping for somewhere in the 12th-9th range.

We will need to find some consistency though, bar Newcastle we range from the decent to the pretty awful sometimes multiple times a game.

We've probably stolen 3-4 points as is.

No, but I’m expecting quite a few draws this season.

Teams, especially the better teams, will know what to expect but think we have enough to pick up points in the other games.

[airedale]

We have a team of hard working big athletes with a few exceptions ,but no real creativity apart from Okafor and hopefully Bahoya but i think Trafford will keep us comfortably midtable.

Okafor isn't particularly creative, he can beat players with pace but he won't get many assists in a season. Good finisher though, probably the best finisher at the club now

I’d bite yer arm off for 12th.
So in a way Daniel is overachieving…

just possibly Bahoya then

Why does the banner say 0-1?
