Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted March 7 Subscriber Share Posted March 7 Travelling to Sutton from Leeds this weekend for our game so we better come away with a good result. We've had 2 decent results in the past 2 games so hoping against bottom of the table Sutton, we can come away with another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted March 8 Subscriber Share Posted March 8 I'm not confident. They're not a bad side but we've looked well off it lately. The last two performances were woeful on the whole (despite winning at Sunderland) and I think Maresca has lost his nerve somewhat particularly with how much he trusts our squad to effectively rotate. We look shattered to me. Sunderland were toothless and didn't make us pay but Hull are a better side, albeit, they don't actually win loads at home. I'll say a rare draw. 1-1.

We will actually know by the time our game kicks off as Leeds are the Friday night game and Ipswich are the half 12. Hull aren't actually all that great at home. They don't score many or win many there. They're better away. We very rarely draw but this feels probably one of the likelier games to go that way of ours.

Redcanuck 175 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Poor goal for Wednesday to concede just before half time. Looks like they were expecting the whistle to go and the defence went to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Massive win that. Think many of us Leeds fans (and possibly others supporting Leicester, Ipswich and Saints) saw this as a potential banana skin. Home team bang in form, Yorkshire derby under the lights, their biggest gate of the season etc. So to win there, especially given how hard it was to break through them in the first half, get the points and put a marker down to the others is pretty big. Can't dictate what the others do but psychologically pressure will be on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember though that they have the best midfielder in the Championship in Harry Winks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted March 9 Author Administrator Share Posted March 9 Fucking up another opportunity to capitalise on a promotion rival dropping points. A goal conceded from our own making. We're doing well to mess this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,827 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The penalty gods seem to be favouring Leicester this week. Avoid giving a dodgy one to Sunderland and generously give one against Hull. I'm not shocked, officials in this league are beyond clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot more uproar over the Leicester one being given in the Sky studio saying it was weak. The Hull one was more unanimously agreed. But then none of them are looking at it with any club bias. A point is good though, tough place to go is Hull with what they done in January. I'm pretty content with that too. Can't moan at making up 2pts in Leicester and 3 on Ipswich. Over to us next Sunday now whilst Leicester and Saints wait and watch.

Rick 2,276 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Leicester went from 12 points clear to 3 in the blink of an eye. Wish I’d backed Leeds to win the league a few weeks ago when Leicester started looking dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) 12 games ago, end of 2023 infact, we were 17pts back. Now its just 3, crazy. I never envisaged us getting a whiff of top spot but if we beat Millwall next week by two goals, that's exactly where we'll be. Tbh, I'd snap your hand off for a guarantee of 2nd though. Don't care as long as we avoid the playoffs and go up automatically. Still see us having a wobble somewhere in true Leeds style and the picture will swing again. All to play for though. It was satisfying to see Ipswich capitulate at the death much how they've nicked games that late. They were due to have it done to them.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted March 10 Subscriber Share Posted March 10 The only thing I think now going in our favour is that we look absolutely shagged, knackered and we now don't play a league game for three weeks, although this will probably mean that Leeds do end up going top, which is a mental blow. Basically what I mean is I think there's a chance this was our real slump and we may revert to being better again from April, with a bit of rest in the legs and players returning from injury. Was a strange game. It wasn't as bad as some of the others in isolation but I don't really think it's a result we could afford given some of the points we've dropped of late. 4 points in 5 games is a woeful return at any point in a season with this squad. Maresca's inexperience is definitely starting to show. He really doesn't seem to have a lot beyond this one system which is a hybrid of what Man City played last season. He's even reluctant to make subs in games which given our obvious tiredness is a red flag. I think he's thrown too many of his eggs in this one basket. I think I'm currently witnessing the worst run of refereeing I've ever seen. I don't think a single referee in our last five games could possibly score above 3/10. It's genuinely extraordinary.

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted March 11 Subscriber Share Posted March 11 If you want an example of the worst officiating decision I've seen in a long time, this is the one I saw in the flesh on Saturday for Sutton v Grimsby. Ref is looking directly at Sutton's player wrestling our players to the ground... lino flags for handball?! Penalty given to Sutton. Referee was full of himself all game, the lino was constantly overuled (rightly so in a few instances), they then refused to shake hands at half time. A shambles. Alex Chilowicz was the referee, and a name I'll remember next time he officiates one of our games. Judging by fans on X, he wasn't popular when he was an MLS ref either.
