Mark Albrighton Posted January 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2019 42 minutes ago, TRO said: I was generalising.... If you want to be specific....Drawing, when you are seeking promotion is a cosmetic defeat....it's dropping 2 points....that's kinda fine/ish, in a relegation battle, but for promotion its not. Its an observation, not a criticism, but we have won 6 out of 15....who is to blame is another debate. We all know the difficulties....all the more reason to be realistic. If it’s just inconsistency you’re getting at and who to blame is another point, I’m not sure why you’re limiting that stat to the 15 post Bruce results. Why don’t you say 6 wins from the last 18 games? Or 7 wins from the last 24? Or just go the whole hog and say 9 wins from 26? They’re all accurate statements and they’d highlight your point better than just picking the results post Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted January 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2019 Be interesting to see if Leeds promotion push will be derailed at all by Bielsa admitting to Spygate and all the fuss it is creating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if somebody came in for Roofe as he is a key player for them. Not sure why the hasn’t been any premier league interest in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don't think Roofe is that good. Strikes me as another Beckford, the championship is his level. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admitted to sending the spy to Derby in the press conference and said he'd been doing this since Argentina and 2002. I can't post a link on my phone but just look on any football news site and it'll be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7392craig Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Derby move the ball too slowly, and they’re always playing backwards when there’s a chance to go through. Strikes me as a lack of confidence. Leeds look a step above, I can’t see them slipping up in too many games, I’d say the title is theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, BOF said: The form is up and down. We're hard to beat but not winning enough. Hopefully the kind run of fixtures coming up will fix that. We saved a last minute penalty yes, but we were also robbed of 3pts v WBA by a handball and lost our 1 match against top of the league in the 95th minute. This race for promotion is far from done, but I think we can all agree the form needs to improve, because one thing's for sure, at the current rate of scoring, 67pts will not be enough. We are a million miles away from being hard to beat....we concede initiative at the drop of a hat. We are one of the easiest teams to negate our offensive ability to concede goals. I have no problem in playing offensive football....but you have to retain possession, pass the ball with confidence, move off the ball with the same confidence and not give the ball away cheaply. That requires hard work and dedication to the cause. Let me know when we can do that. Edited January 11, 2019 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're very hard to beat because we score at will. That's without our best player by the way. All those things you list we can, and must, improve on. What a side we'll be when we do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The comment was about being hard to beat not whether we drew games. The facts show that we are incredibly difficult to beat. sort out the defence - as you have correctly stated - and we’ll be hard to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
