Oh it is. Ward is not in the side on merit. He literally didn’t stop running and pressing for the whole time he was on the pitch. Didn’t break a sweat?? Give over. I assume you’re going to slate Nicholls for dropping on in his net and Helik for skying an open goal? Or do we prefer the easy scapegoats… Also not sure what you saw from Harratt today😂

In the 15 games Ward has played in since Warnock came back he's scored two goals. Nowhere near good enough for a striker.

He offers so much to us in terms of pressing. He sprints at their defence and keeper for as long as he’s on the pitch to make it uncomfortable for them. Ideally we get someone who can do that and also score 15/20 a season but they just don’t exist, not for our budget anyway. And when we’re in our situation, hard workers and grafters have to be first on the team sheet. He did no worse than any of them out there today. Sprints? He hardly broke sweat and knows he doesn't have to because he's an automatic choice. He contributed four fifths of fuck all and wouldn't get anywhere near the starting line-up of any other Championship side. Tbf mate, that's bollocks. He was tearing around closing the keeper and defenders down. That's why he plays because that's what Colin wants and he's the only one we have that can do that.

Liked a lot of what i saw today.
Edwards and helik in defence stood out.
Going forward we did cause some issues for them, we didn't make the most of them yes, but we did cause problems.
The commitment and passion from the lads was there, if we do this week in and week out. Then i do feel we will be ok.
There are things to build on as the season goes on.

Reading the comments and bickering im not sure whether being on holiday and not making the game was a blessing or a curse! What puzzles me is whether this is it for the season and we have to make do and work our arses off or if we are going to strengthen the squad but just taking our time. Answers on a postcard from anyone “in the know”??

Or do we prefer the easy scapegoats… Nicholls was at fault for the goal but saved us on a couple of occasions and Helik was good defensively, but you can argue to till the cows come home over Wards contribution or lack of it. Diarra is the example of someone who works his bollox off and Ward was miles behind him in terms of work rate.

I don’t think we’re ever going to agree on this, I would love to see the stats on distance covered/sprints because I’m certain they would support me after watching the game today.

There are two DAB channels for RL. Not immediately obvious but scroll through and you’ll find two. And ours doesn’t cover a good part of the Huddersfield area. They know about it but won’t do owt about it.
I think a lot of people have been having problems in the Huddersfield area for quite a while now. Never bothered me as I live in Dewsbury and both my car and DAB radio in my shed picked up the correct channel. But recently I replaced my portable DAB and when I tried it in my shed today I got Bradford bloody City!
As others have mentioned, there are two frequencies (11b and 12d) and Town are on 12d. According to the RL website, out of the three transmitters (Holme Moss, Ainley Top and Emley Moor) only Emley transmits 12d.
I checked to see if the channel list on my radio had two Radio Leeds entries but it hasn't. I'm guessing this is a limitation of the software on the radio, (maybe it hits 11b first then skips 12d?) as when I went into manual tune I could see the 12d frequency (and it had a stronger signal than 11b) but for some reason I couldn't select it!
Then I moved the radio around until it lost the signal for the Bradford channel, re-scanned the channels and this time it picked up Town on 12d so I quickly stored it on a preset!
The only other thing I could think of was to take the radio up near Emley Moor and try re-scanning the channels, bit drastic but you never know.

No complaints from me, a really enjoyable game apart from the result. And as for spending money on attackers, several million gets the ball in the upper tier of the Panasonic stand! I sit up there and I can’t say I’ve seen that happen before so quite an achievement 🤣😂🤣😂

Does anyone know how to listen to the BBC Radio Leeds Town post match show? Bradford show is now on DAB and Leeds on FM. This really needs sorting out. I can get us in my car but only Bradford in the wife's car. Sometimes there have 2 stations on DAB

Why do we persist with Danny Ward? He offers so much to us in terms of pressing. He sprints at their defence and keeper for as long as he’s on the pitch to make it uncomfortable for them.

Overall can’t complain about their performance today , everyone put a solid shift in . Diarra needs a bit more awareness but overall played well as did all the front players pushing up on the defence causing errors and again we were solid at the back except for the goal which was a bit of a gift but Nicholls before that had made some lovely saves to keep us in the game. Play like that next week and I think we’ll be bringing home 3 points .

Mixed emotions - thought we played well and lots of positives. Gutted to lose to a soft goal, when we deserved something from it.
Centre backs were excellent again as were our two CMs - we have lots of threat in attacking areas and will hurt teams this season, especially at home.
If being picky, a creative AM and a natural goalscorer would take us to another level, but I am sure loads of teams would say the same! That isn’t a criticism of Diarra, Ward et al - good players and important guys who I have a lot of time for. I would like to see us give Jones a run of games as he is a proper threat, and we have Nakayama and Headley who have quality to add too.
Painful defeat but lots of optimism. A couple of additions and we will do ok.
UTT

Joking or not joking, you make yourself look like an absolute fanny. Youve already had your arse handed to you, yet you persist. Fair play for the persistence but come on, you really do portray yourself as a real idiot. You think that Mr. ego was right to do that ? Do you think the reason we haven’t signed anybody, when we clearly need to isn down to him. As I said. He will be gone by Xmas.

How many actual chances does he miss though? It's not like we make many for him. Or anyone else.

So are you joking or aren’t you? Truthfully. In part yes. But don’t be fooled. Warnock is all but warnock and nobody else. Do you really think he read the posts on here and read mine out like he had found it ? Did he Bollox somebody did it for him. He can’t stand criticism. Fact is. 3 games. 3 defeats. Another awful start to a season.

Thought we were brilliant today, matched them all over. Diarra did all his running and wards. Was worried about Hogg first ten minutes but grew into it. Centre backs were outstanding particularly Pearson.
We desperately need a striker Ward can’t play every week he was absent again today. We also need a midfielder with a bit of quality on the ball.
Warnock is a brilliant manager to get what he does out of this squad. I’m gutted we’re too skint to back him properly in his final year but he will get us good enough results I’d think to stop us looking at the bottom 3 all the time.
