This has been rubbish 

Midday Sunday kick off, 1st leg, warm day. All the ingredients for cagey, walking football.

 how many pundits do they need in that studio

[Foxin_Mad]

Goodman will cry so much if Leeds lose

[foxfanazer]

This is shocking. I get that nerves play a part but come on. Dross atmosphere as well

[foxfanazer]

I'd take Rodon here

[Guest Col city fan]

So glad we are up automatically. The standard of this game is turd 

[Nolucklcfc]

Probably the worst game I’ve seen this season and I was at Plymouth 

[Aus Fox]

This is bloody awe full, both teams deserve to go out on this showing.

[foxfanazer]

Norwich surely must realise that they need to take a lead to Elland road. Their away from is one of the worst in the league

Such a terrible game of football

I think perhaps you might mean the opposite?

 

Awful? 

[Brooksy]

Might be one of the worst games I've ever seen.

Leeds are hardly making an effort, they're more than comfortable with the draw at worst.

Norwich are woefull!

Fascinating how two, decent sides can play a whole season of football with the ultimate aim of getting promoted.

Then, when they DO get to the play-offs, they DON’T have a right good go at it. Two matches to play your fookin socks off, to reach Wembley.

Both managers must have drilled it into their players to be cagey. To NOT put everything onto the pitch for fear of losing.

It’s a real shame both for the players and the supporters. Reminds me of Southgate as England manager. This emphasis on ‘not losing at all costs’, rather than ‘winning at all costs’.

I’m guessing it’s bound up in the financial riches of making the Premiership. To lose in the play offs is to not win an awful lot of money.

But again, in terms of entertainment and a ‘spectator sport’ it nullifies it, unfortunately

Feel that Norwich need to make this leg count which they aren’t at the minute.

 

I would be happy with either Norwich or West Brom. I voted West Brom as I thought they are very good at ours and the best side to visit the KP so deserve it. But Norwich are poor so would be good. And it’d be a Derby with Ipswich. It’s good to have the derbys happening like Portsmouth and Southampton if they don’t win the playoffs and the Sheffield derby is back this coming season.

Perhaps fatigue comes into it?

[trooky]

Dreadful game, can't see Norwich doing anything at Elland Road

[FrankieADZ]

think Leeds will be more than happy if this ends a draw

 

although WBA and Southampton will look at this and think they could be either

I doubt it’s a factor at all

I didn’t see any fatigue in yesterday’s play off game.

No, this rubbish will be about how the players have been told to play.

All it would take is just one of these teams to have a real go, then the other team would also have to.

This is your archetypal game of chess and it’s appalling viewing
