  1. Games when Wilf has played: P21 W18, D2, L1 PPG 2.67 Games when Wilf hasn't played: P13 W7 D1 L5 PPG 1.69
  2. Dear God, is this boring Leeds fan still droning on about the fact that Leeds are actually the best team if you randomly discount a load of games because they don't fit his narrative? People have been banned for less on here. Personally, I don't think the result on Friday should be counted as clearly the better team lost the game.
  3. What do you expect from a Forest fan? Can't stand the bloke.
  4. Rice playing the Ndidi role as an 8 for Arsenal tonight, pressing and winning the ball high up the pitch.
  5. Newcastle this season remind me of the 21/22 season for us under Rodgers. Like us then, after a brilliant previous season, they've struggled to cope with the extra European matches and had a ton of injuries.
  6. Agree. It's a ground we've been rubbish at for the past decade and they'll go man for man against us, which we've struggled with even against inferior Championship teams.
  7. No disgrace in losing unluckily at Leeds but that home defeat to Boro really was very bad when you look at their recent form and injury list.
  8. The thing is they're like a cockroach, so hard to kill off. They've lost the fewest games in the league. They seem to have an inner believe and resilience that is very strong.
  9. Surely it's Ipswich's turn to concede, rather than score, a jammy late goal?
  10. Ipswich just won't f off. They're like a yappy little dog snapping at your heels. The only thing I would say is that it's a myth that they don't have squad depth. Sarmiento and Hutchinson coming off the bench today. That's so much better than our back up wingers.
  11. You could say the same about Boro and look what happened against them.
  12. Boro getting absolutely battered by Plymouth who have had 17 shots and 9 on target whilst Boro haven't got a single effort on target.
  13. Classic Ipswich goal, miss hit long range shot deflected in by a player who looked offside.
  14. He is. When my boys were younger I remember they wanted to wait outside the ground after a game to get autographs. Ricky was one of the players who took the time to stop, sign autographs and speak to them, as well as other young fans. By contrast, Kasper, for example, drove past everyone at about 60 miles per hour!
  15. On my app our xG was 1.62 against their 1.32. But even that seems much closer that I would have expected given our chances compared to theirs ie the same app says we created 3 big chances and they created none, which seems right.
  16. Class is the word that I always think of when it comes to describing Ricky P. The way he has transitioned effortlessly from being a marauding, attacking full back to playing a totally different, technically very difficult new position shows what a superb footballer he is. It's a crime that a player of his ability is playing in the second tier to be honest. I'm convinced that if he'd not suffered some huge injuries he would be playing for one of the biggest clubs in Europe by now. We're very lucky to have him.
  17. No worse than the starting pair for Leeds. Thought Stephy looked dangerous second half tbf but Abdul struggled for sure.
  18. It's a bogey ground for us. That 4-1 loss to them in Rodgers' first end of season bottle job took me a long while to get over; they ended up relegated that season. We couldn't even win there when we won the league and they were newly promoted FFS, got battered for 4 there under Puel, etc, all at times when we were far superior to them.
  19. I'm not sure that Leeds did throw the kitchen sink at us. They never really built up a head of steam and put us under concerted pressure. That's why their crowd was generally silent until the equaliser. Their goals didn't come from good play by them, they just got the rub of the green. For us to get undone by yet another double deflection in a big game is hugely unlucky.
  20. He gets an assist, has a goal wrongfully disallowed and is an integral part of some of the great attacking moves in the second half with some very tidy link up play. Hardly the work of a headless chicken. The miss was bad of course but he's getting into good positions regularly. Cannon probably would have finished it but would he have got into the position in the first place? People are saying how we dropped back and invited pressure towards the end. I think a contributory factor was the removal of Daka. Once he was replaced by Cannon, Leeds knew that they could safely squeeze further up the pitch as Cannon lacks Daka's pace in behind. We offered zero threat after Cannon came on tbh.
  21. Some of these comments are very harsh on Daka. He's got 7 goals and 4 assists in about 10 games. Yeah, he missed a good chance tonight but he makes stuff happen with his pace, mobility and pressing. Strikers miss great chances, look at Vardy last week, for example.
  22. I just don't get how they calculate xG at all. According to the app I use, the xG score was Leeds 1.43 Leicester 1.47. How is that possible when we've missed two 1-on-1s, hit the post and Faes's goal was a free header from about 3 yards out. The same app says we had 3 'big chances' and they had none.
  23. Can't decide if this is a joke aimed at fans who have been leaving games early or you turned off the TV before the end for some reason?!
  24. A wise man said something similar last season....
  25. Forgot about this as was I focused on the QPR game. We always lose here, and we'll play the reserves now the league is getting too close for comfort so a complete waste of time. Limp 2-0 defeat probably.
