Genuinely think they could concede 100 this season. Shambles of a team.

Assuming they don't mount a comeback, a win today will take us above Everton and Leeds. Could be a defining week in our campaign.

This. Massive over expectations about today, I fear. A point will be an absolute stinking result against a very good team.

I see that Leeds play at Brentford the last game of the season. The way things are going at the moment it could be a more decisive game that the one we have against Newcastle.

Didn't they win 1-4 at Watford midweek?

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:13 pm

Its 4 now plus Dallas missed a great chance. But Spurs could have had about 7 or 8.

Leeds have gone off the cliff and are plummeting down.

Will they pot Bielsa after conceding another 3+

How on earth anyone can say Leeds play good football is beyond me. Isn't defending part of the game?

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:19 pm

Thing is that Spues have been really sloppy this sw on half too. I'd like to think we would be picking those off against them.

Last season they did and received plaudits for it rightly. Phillips has been a major loss for their defensive capabilities in the middle in fairness.

TheOriginalLongsider · Post by **TheOriginalLongsider** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:20 pm

20 goals let in last 5 games

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:26 pm

They will firm up when Phillips is back but right now they are bottom of the league in form. They aren't used to a relegation fight with a decent finish last seaaon they have a manager who refuses to change his approach and they aren't scoring either.

Their goal difference is -31.

Not down yet and teams below still need to win but the fat ladies headed to St James and Turf have started to pop Elland Rd into the sat nav I think

Doubt they'll concede 100, but those 5 today takes it to 60, with still 12 games remaining, so they could well be looking at shipping 80-90 if they don't tighten up back style.

Starting to favour Leeds over Brentford as "the one" to take that 18th spot if we can avoid it. Brentford are in free fall, but adding a world class midfielder to your squad is going to help.

20 in their last 5, either way it ain't good, and if they don't drastically show improvement they'll be in real danger, despite what some posters on here might think.

They will be great in the Championship! They will score a hundred and let in 40 there.

We were feeling sorry for ourselves for some reason and failed to show up. Also, at that time, we hadn't actually started playing football

I’d be worried if they were getting Big Sam in - I feel the same as you about March. He has no track record in a league of repute whatsoever.

Someone asked about what the loss of Kalvin Phillips has had to Leeds after he got injured against Brentford at home.

Here is the table after that match:

Since then they've played a further eleven matches, getting 7 points but conceding 38 goals in the process at a rate of 3.45 per game

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 12:53 pm

It's a shame they didn't stick with Bielsa we don't want a new manager bounce .We want them relegated.

Stayingup · Post by **Stayingup** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 12:53 pm

Leeds attack a lot and create chances. They did yesterday. But they are then open at the back and yesterday obviously didn't score despite hitting the post twice and conceeded 4. Wrong tatctics against a fast counter attacking side like Spurs.

Didn't realise he'd been out for so long, is he due back anytime soon?

Interestingly some on here have, in the past, demanded that we play in a more attacking manner similar to Leeds.
Whilst Dyche's style won't win any awards, it's generally more effective

It was mentioned in the commentary during the game between Leeds and Spurs saying that we simply didn't give Spurs the same space that Leeds did and that teams at the bottom need to be far more pragmatic in their approach, like we are.
