foxesfan1989 Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 No good tonight, a blip on the way to promotion. Put that one behind us and quickly.
Danno Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Oh well we're not doing badly anyway. Hope we buy a DM and a new Striker in Jan.
acooling08 Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Well, we played poorly and lost. Better than playing well and being robbed. Need Nugent back ASAP.
Guest shearfox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 We lost away to a side that doesn't play football we are still in a fantastic position and with two home games coming up it is a great chance to get right back in the top two
Guest kristianity77 Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Not overly concerned by this to be honest. Played much better second half which is a plus point. But Leeds are no where near as bad as the league table suggests and I expect them to kick on from beating us and Palace in the space of a week. I'd be surprised if Leeds weren't up there at the end of the season. As for us, I never expected us to get anything from this but if we can grab 4 points from our next two "winnable" home games, then we will still be very much on course in the top 6. Its evident however that we do miss Nugent, and its also becoming clearer by the week that whilst our other strikers have all the will in the world to perform and run around, we are really lacking up front and have been more or less all season. Ive said it before and ill say it again. Our current team is good enough I believe to scrape top 6 by the end of the season, but we ARE a decent striker away from autos
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Its a shame, obviously we are not going to win every match but Vardy is not going to cut it in the Champ and was in hindsight a mistake, please buy a striker in Jan Nige. Other than that, we are fine, and should continue to win our homes at least
Captain... Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Leeds got lucky with a penalty, as it didn't sound like they were going to score otherwise. Leeds set out to spoil the game, did everything to stop us playing, slowed the game, fouled us and out muscled us, and in the end spoilt my night. Anti-football, but we need to learn how to break these types of teams down, especially when a goal down.
Libertine Dream Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Away form is simply not good enough, fortunately we're not distancing ourselves from automatics but soon somebody will start pulling away. Worryingly a couple of losses could see us slip to midtable. I think we missed Nugent a lot today. Got to put a run together but the fixtures coming up arent the easiest.
Fmfox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 winning 50% of your away games would be great lets be honest! 3 points on saturday and the last 8 days will have been good for us!
lestajigs Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Well, we played poorly and lost. Better than playing well and being robbed. Need Nugent back ASAP. True
Ashley Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Typical Leeds United and Warnock time wasting as usual even their ball boys were cocky fvcks. Soft as penalty shouldn't of even been one from my view. A few of our fans make me laugh, two girls and a few others called Kasper shit for how performance and not saving the penalty? OKAY. At his time at Leicester he's had 9 penalties 6/7 have been saved? Any Leeds fans reading this care to clear up "United Scum it should of been you?"
BoneDog Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 What can you say. Paddy Kenny's an exceptional keeper. MOTM
Leicfox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 More concerned by the performance (didn't sound very good) than the result as before the game I thought a draw would be the best we'd come away with. I hope the lads can pick themselves up as we've got 2 very winnable home games next up.
Simmo86 Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Predicting a long few days for Babs and CC Star in this thread. Go get em chaps!
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Sounded awful, until Futacs did his best to make someting happen. Still maintain that Vardy isnt good enough, was shit by all accounts and niot really much better on Saturday, need Nugent back soon. Poor performance.
kingfox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Another blip but I'm I worried not really, but yet again the same problems occur in our losses. Getting overpowered by a physical team, Drinkwater and King struggling, the strikers not taking chances. Whenever those three things occur we lose. It happened against Wolves, Crystal Palace, Watford and now Leeds. We need to address these certain things, whether through tactics or whether through new signings, we need to address those problems.
Corky Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Poor result, on the back of two very good wins. Need to bounce back and win both home games.
Happy Fox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 We have got two winnable home games coming up no excuses the Sheepshaggers will never beat us and neither will Barnsley.
nickelbyfox Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Not upset - cant win everything but Leeds play that physical and we do not use our squad depth for this game? pack the midfield
Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Picking up on a common theme in the match thread, I think it's a bit of a myth that we've been outbattled this season, a lazy conclusion that people when we don't win because Drinkwater and King aren't overly strong, physical players. There's no real evidence this season that we get outbattled. The early away games against the likes of Blackburn and Wolves we clearly could/should have won and recent games against more physical teams (Bolton, Sheff Wed) we've not really done any differently to the less physical teams (Forest, Watford). We've created enough chances in pretty much every game this season and how many could you honestly say we've been the worse team due to being outbattled?
Danno Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Yeah 2 winnable home games coming up, but we shouldn't underestimate Derby and Barnsley.
Guest Col city fan Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 You can't knock Pearson..we are 4th in the league However, I want to make 4 points: - King isn't effective in certain games... we need a physically stronger midfield for some games. - We need another goal-scoring striker - not an all-effort striker, but one scoring goals. - We don't start away games well. - If we don't sort these issues out, we wont get top two IMO.
Ozwin Posted 27 November 2012 Posted 27 November 2012 Sounds like they were well drilled in Neil 'Anti Football' Warnocks methods. We won't have to put up with that every week, chalk it off and start again on Saturday.
