Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Cjay]

We arent clinical enough to have a leaky defence.

10 goals conceded in 4 games, Roofe has 3 great chances today that didnt go in today.

If you want promotion 1 of those has to go in.

And BPF for the Forest 3rd, pfft.

Bielsa: "When we scored the second goal I thought about putting a defender on but I didn't take the decision because I couldn't find anyone who could be useful at that moment." #lufc

So he has no faith in Halme and refused to allow the club to sign a cb.

Sorry but he has pissed me off with that, stubborn streaks cost promotion.

So finally they've accepted we need a CB. Hallelujah.

Phillips isnt as good as some of our fans think imo, will always see that in moments, that was one of them, poor control and then lunging in, better players dont miscontol it and if they do they have the intelligence to not dive in.

Not popular opinion i know since some of our fans think he is the Yorkshire version of Busquets

Not top 5 on my team sheet, I don't think we miss him much if he gets injured early and misses a number of games. I'm not going to blame him for today, not a malicious tackle, foot naturally raised after hitting the ground. Player made it worse than it looked plus those fouls have been committed much worse against us this season without even a yellow.

I also think there's a fair chance if he's playing his normal position he still makes that challenge..it's his area of the pitch. I disagree with Gessa there

[The Subhuman]

Yeah I thought Roofe would get slagged off... predictable

He was sitting behind you muppet, his name is Halme and he's a flipping centre back !
Talk about insult your players !
This guys attitude will cost promotion. It matters not one jott that they're top at the moment. We can all see what's happening here , shame MB can't.

Douglas is so overrated. His set piece deliveries are shite and he can't defend.

Tbh all our set pieces were s**t today. First goal comes from Pablo putting a free kick straight into the wall.

Very odd comments from Bielsa, not sure what he’s saying about Halme. As soon as it goes 2 -1 he should stick another CB on and camp 10 men behind the ball. Forest might get one but at least we’ve rescued a point. First time I’ve thought Bielsa really lost the plot today.

No

Bielsa on whether he will try to find a defender in the transfer window: "We don't have any problem in defence. If you take out the goals that are scored on set-pieces, we are the team who concede the least."

Then talks about Berardi and Cooper being good headerers of the ball, Berardi is a midget thats the one thing he isnt.

He had 3 great chances, he didnt score them.

Its not slagging off, just a fact.

Darryl Murphy had 1 shot 1 goal.

Robinson should have been red carded end of. BPF is letting in too many easy goals,. That's the worry. Cooper and berardi back soon so we should have a steady backline. Was always going to be a struggle 10v11. Thought we played well. Poor defending via set plays

Now isn't the time to be stubborn and Radz greedy. It's obvious we need a CB and a GK.

Radz hasn't spent all season, so he can answer us if he refuses to spend, which he will.

Misses three great opportunities... But his "movement was better than any striker ever"... He could put the ball in his own net six times and you'd still say he had a great game

This guy's attitude is why we are top of the league, this guy's attitude is why the lame players from last season have been converted into the players we are seeing week in week out playing amazing football. Bielsa has been a revelation for our team, shame you can't see that.

Bielsa has done great things but that is the first time he has really annoyed me.

Its really disrespectful to Halme to say that.

The gung ho attitude with 10 men is great for getting back into the game but it cost us in the end, Bielsa needs to be less stubborn imo and that wont happen.

Doesnt mean he doesnt get things wrong though and should be immune from criticism.

[Cjay]

Bielsa explaining his decision not to make a defensive change: basically saying there was no-one on the pitch he wanted to take off. Said he would have had to sub Roofe, Clarke or Alioski and he felt they were too influential. "I would destroy something which was working well."

He might get things wrong but he has been a breath of fresh air for our club. No-one is infallible. He seems to have a plan, it is working..... leave him to it. He sees all the players on a daily basis, I trust his judgment.

Forshaw or Douglas was the obvious.

I refer to my last but one sentence. This gung ho attitude and having no faith in the cb sitting on the bench has cost Leeds at least 1 point today possibly 3. Who in their right mind doesn't pack out the defence and midfield after going 2-1 up with 10 men . We would probably have scored another on the break even.
