BWFC v Leeds

I know I don't go anymore but Ive always followed the fortunes of my favourite football team. It hurt me when I stopped going but I cant let go completely. I still love BWFC, and I always will. However, Im finding it hard to be interested while Parkinson and his brand of hoofball is still on the agenda. I expect a good hiding, and refuse to accept improved recent performances, Still lost with little possession, nothings changed. 4-1 Leeds

I would like to see Ameobi and Doidge try and strike it up again.

I have a feeling PP will wake up in a cold sweat about how good Leeds are and revert to a holding 5 midfield and Magennis living off scraps.

There are no great teams in this league for me. No Liverpool counter punches and no City Masterclasses. The difference between top and 20th is just a little bit of extra consistency.

No reason why we shouldn't play any team at home and not go for all 3 points and that for me is two up front, Oz pulling strings. And we need to find out which of these "flair" players actually is going to turn up Buckley, Noone, Wildshut. Start a match with the intention of finishing it not betting dragged off after an hour when you've faded or manager has given up.

2-2 if we attack. 0-3 if were sitting ducks.

Well I don't always get what I like.

Oops. In that case. We should forfeit. Doidge cannot do it on his own so Magennis will lead the line and I revert to my 0-3 prediction.

We could try and use Donaldson with Doidge. But I say that in blind hope rather than any real confidence of evidence that would work.

Remember the Liverpool replay we played Mills as lone striker. Getting to that stage. Beevers will be leading scorer soon anyway

I’d have been reasonably happy with this selection had he got rid of our useless none wingers and played Oztumer at the peak of a diamond and Doidge up front in a two. As it is, all I can see, as Davidm predicted is more of the, 30% possession, holding on and trying to eke out a 0-0 or 1-0. Don’t think we’ll do it.

Just checked the score and only 1-0 down with 27% possession dirty Leeds must be bad hahaha COYWM steal a point

Another desperately poor performance. Indeed, as a team, we are clearly going backwards. Alnwick made a couple of routine saves, but his distribution was utterly abysmal. Olkowski’s sad decline continues. Hobbs and Taylor were both poor, only the Redcar Rock can take any solace from his performance. Midfield barely existed, I once more fail to see the point of the feeble Buckley and foul laden Noone. Both should be left out in future. Williams looks exhausted and badly needs to come out of the firing line, Lowe is dire and Vela totally out of form. Magennis was in Pontus whatever his name is’s back pocket all afternoon and the substitutions changed nothing.

As chiphill says, some may say losing to the top two by a single goal is no disgrace. The problem is Leeds were rubbish themselves. Countless errors and invitations to us to attack with misplaced passes in their final third. We spurned them all. I don’t think the penalty was a penalty, though the ref in my view favoured Leeds routinely.

The team looks devoid of confidence, ideas and inspiration. Anderson, to coin a phrase, must do whatever it takes to get those qualities back into the squad before it’s too late. Thanks to the other wretched teams around us, we’re still only a win from being out of the drop zone. Trouble is, I can’t see another win happening at all.
