Is Radulovic just not very good ? Thought he might of come on instead of koroma to try and hold the ball up. Think he just needs 6 months at Motherwell. |

He looked to see where the Chestie was then smacked him in the face, it had cock all to do with using his arms for leverage. I don’t fully disagree with the sending off, the main issue was his body positioning, but hi didn’t swing, their lad made a bloody meal of it………….but if that’s a yellow (as never a straight red that others are saying) what about Bamfords blatant elbow into the back of Rudoni’s head? It was probably a yellow because it was dangerous . he knew he was there and put his elbow in his face to shield the ball. Silly really from an experienced player already on a yellow. I thought we clearly had a tactic to rough up certain Leeds players. See if they fancied it. Pearson could have had 2 or 3 yellows. I dont have a problem with that but its a dangerous game that can leave you a man down, as happened. Weirdly Im not sure playing with 10 did us much harm in that game. Theyre an excellent counterattacking side and it made us sit deep with them coming in to us...and they struggled to create much at all. With 11 we'd have been more adventurous and they might have picked us off on the counter. |

Yes, they're delusional cards One of the best moments was when they took the best part of 2 minutes to take a corner and then subsequently complained when it took Pearson 20 seconds to take a throw And Farke said on Sky that we were taking 'two minutes' with our goal-kicks. Nicholls' last one, starting with 95:04 on the clock, took 41 seconds and even then I thought he rushed it. |

The 1970 cup final was the week after Town were promoted & a year after L33ds finally won the 1st Division title (45 Years After Town), beating Chelsea would be their 1st FAC winners title but they failed & had to wait till 1972 (50 YAT)......Spent a long time in our shadow didn't they? That shadow first came over them in 1924 and lasted a full decade until, at the 17th attempt, they finally beat us (in the league that is - they beat us in 1931 in the Cup, their 13th attempt). We won 10 of the first 12 and all 6 at home plus a home win in the Cup, so 11 wins in the first 14 meetings overall. They still haven't caught up. My paternal grandad died in 1931 completely unaware that they were our rivals. Rabbits, more like. Edit: W32 D19 L30 overall, but league only is W29 D17 L25, so still good breathing space. No draw in the last 13 matches so one is coming. Found the first error in several years of using the excellent 11v11.com website; they have us losing 2-1 at Leeds in the Carling Cup in 2004 and it was definitely 1-0. As you would expect of a complete nerd with pedantry oozing out of every pore, I've emailed them to point it out. |

If the Bamford challenge had been by say Helik on one of their players, their lad would’ve rolled a few times and they’d have surrounded the ref.
A bit like when Spencer got smashed with a forearm to the face at City, our lads need to play the game a bit more.
We could’ve had Bamford on a yellow and walking on egg shells for the game, but that won’t happen if you jump straight up.

I hate to see Bruno Fernandes like play acting but when it's become such a big part of the game we can't just let other teams get the benefit of the doubt from it |

Mad that four weeks ago the manager was an idiot for playing Thomas on the left but now it doesn’t matter when the new manager chooses to do the same. Great point. He’s really showing us up in his new gig for not showing patience with him… Questioned his decision to take the Town job.. really do not understand him taking the Port Vale one. |

Thought Town’s tactics first half were spot on - make it stop-start and don’t let them build any rhythm or momentum.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think Hogg can complain about the red card. And Pearson could easily have got a straight red for the one on Summerville.

Regarding Farke, I was impressed that he walked around the pitch at the end of the game and made a point of shaking the hand of every Town player. It looked genuine as well. I'm sure I saw something last night where, in and among the whinging and excuses, he said we were brilliant. I think any manager who sees a performance like that from a team a man down will realise they gave their all for their teammates, manager and supporters. I'm sure any manager would love a group like that to manage. |

Deserved the three points today, not the one. Tactically we were the better side, created the better chances, defended well against a side that ran out of ideas. To play for almost an hour with 10 and restrict them to a single shot on target in that time is no mean feat in itself. Sadly, that one shot on target went in. And it wasn't like they were creating chances either. The one that clipped the post was about it. Everything else they chucked at us was because they'd run out of ideas. Spencer was sensational. Given the disruption caused by injury, given he's been ill this week, given his inexperience, he was utterly fantastic. Shut down one winger, then switched to the other side and did the same. For all their pace, Spencer was every bit as quick and his defending against them was switched-on and effective. Others might take the plaudits, but it was his best game for Town today. Credit to Headley too, who was excellent when he came on. Defending isn't his strongest suit, so it was satisfying to see him switched on, aware, and positionally bob on against a difficult opponent. Some of the tactical tweaks during the game by AB were fascinating and absolutely brilliant. He wasn't waiting and seeing, he was actively tweaking all the time, dealing with issues, switching players, altering shape. The way he adapted to losing Hogg was exactly what was required. We still carried a threat - probably more than they did. A little more composure on final balls or awareness from the player in possession would have seen us be even more dangerous on the break. We dealt with their initial start, then got on the front foot. After the early Nicholls save, they didn't trouble him, and everything he did was far more routine (and done very well indeed). Nothing he could have done about the goal. The officials played a key role. It's possible to say that a) Hogg's second yellow was stupid and idiotic and thoroughly deserved and that b) inconsistency cost us, considering that Bamford had committed a worse foul previously without being carded. If the latter incident doesn't happen, nobody can really complain. As it is, the complaint is that two similar incidents have different outcomes, and we're on the wrong end of it - again. We're not a 'lucky' club in that regard. In truth, it was a poor display from the officials. The Kasumu card was an utter joke - I actually thought we'd been awarded a free-kick at first as their lad came steaming in - and they seemed to get away with murder time and again. The angry midget they had marking the man on corners must have been spoken to four times without a card. Rutter flew under one player, got booked, then did the same a moment later, and wasn't again. When Town tried to take a quick throw from a spot a couple of yards from where the ball went out, we were pulled back. When they did the same later in the game, they weren't. Bamford's non-booking summed it up. Inconsistency threatened to ruin the game. When Kasumu was fouled after catching their lad in possession, it wasn't even a free-kick. One ball they crossed straight out of play was given as a corner. A ball that their lad miscontrolled behind was given as a dead ball. Officials in this country are just utterly useless in the extreme. He didn't even get the added time right - he should have blown before we were allowed to take the corner (not that I would have been complaining had we plundered a deserved winner). Of course, this being Town we've somehow contrived to take 10 points from 6 games and end up closer to the relegation zone, something that defies logic. But it is so much tighter all of a sudden. Half the league has been reeled in and is waking up to a relegation scrap. We actually have a bit of momentum, we're playing well, and the new manager has something going for him. I'm convinced we'll be fine at this point. All the way up to Watford are in it, whether they want to be or not, and quite a few of those can't buy a win. What a very good post, deserves quoting again. |

Did anyone else wonder where Steve Kindon was going with his speech about foreign footballers. I was getting worried at one point I did . It was definitely getting into prince Phillip territory at one stage . I was waiting for the Irishman , Englishman and Scotsman joke coming out.. |

They like to call themselves "DIRTY LEEDS", they even have t shirts printed saying the same.
but they were well and truly out dirtied yesterday.
seems they dont like to receive what they used to practise.
......just seen a small list of their excuses .......
Early kick-off - rarely suits us.
Very little time since the last game.
Their cup final.
Several players were poor.
Gnonto’s purple patch appears to have ended.
Archie not his usual excellent self.
Summerville got kicked to high heaven.
New manager bounce for them.
Plenty of reasons to bank a point and move on.
we just didn't seem to have any answers to their anti-football.
Cheated out of 2 points, bent ref , our players were assaulted all game

Weeds fans crying and winging all over media thinks we should have had two sent off ref on our side deluded as usual they really are the biggest set of king canutes in football hope they blow it yet again in the playoffs I went for a drink with my chesty mates after the game. They are the non delusional types ( I know you might not believe that ). They all agreed the ref was defo in their favour and laughed that he couldn’t wait to get his red card out. They were delighted with a point. Ref had a shocker, Bamford should have received a straight red card, for the so called challenge on Jack Rudoni, ironically he'd have been sent off in a Rugby League or Union game - UTT. |

How dare she have an opinion 🙄🙄🙄🫣 and the afters with a knee to the head from Gnonto ? That pillock was giving it all game yet the ref never said a word.. Truth is the ref was overwhelmed by the occasion, making decisions based the players reactions rather than the actual incident...and L666s milked that and he lapped it up.

I did see the ref explain to Headley, after the corner, why he'd given it. I presume it knicked off whoever was nearest to the crosser 🤷 |

The Bamford goal was an awful goal to concede. Despite Town doing really well, and not being critical in any way (keep the dogs away)..just before the cross came in Helik turned to Pearson to pick up Bamford because another Leeds player had moved into the box and no one had picked him up.. so Helik moved to mark him and Pearson was then supposed to move about 3 yards to mark Bamford..but pearson didn't react and as the ball came across pearson was the wrong side of Bamford who then had an unchallenged tap in. Helik's reaction said it all. Mind you Lees had been dragged out of the danger zone anyway so we were caught short. Don't know where Spencer was but he was subbed a few minutes after...he'd had a very good game and looks like he will be a regular now.
We've had a bit of an issue in and around our 6 yard box for a few games now, at Southampton, the first few minutes yesterday when Nicholls made a great stop..then Bamfords goal..

Reflecting on yesterday..
I really do feel that we are back on track.
That’s a bloody good squad we’ve got now.
Never at any point did I feel like we were going to lose that game, even with 10 men.
Simply this, L***s did not look better than us.
Andre responded perfectly to the changing situation and he was calmness personified throughout the game.
Great to see the ground rocking again and I hope we get good crowds for the remainder of the season.
If we don’t get hit with a ridiculous amount of injuries and with some tweaks in the Summer, I can see a promotion challenge next season.
KN has set up Season Card renewal time perfectly.

This manager is a class act, Stone Island jacket he wears is a signal to us fans that I am with you on this journey together. His interviews are measured with honesty and togetherness, this could turn out to be a magical ride for all at H.T.F.C. Moore had none of this, think the dressing room now must ooze with togetherness. |

They talk about us constantly fouling to slow the game down, yet they made more fouls than us, even with a ref who blew up every time they fell over. They also wasted the most time from a set piece, it wasn't far off 2 minutes to take the corner in the 2nd half. |
