as you say joseph offers much more


except goals

We miss Ampadu but they had far too many strikes at goal for my liking. We’re better when we go forward so let’s hope we spend more time doing that over the course of the season.

but we go.ahead, invite them on and break. should have been 4 up before his howler

Rothwell and Gnonto had great games.

Would have taken a draw before kick off but defs two points lost.

No surprises Meslier messed up, he just isn’t good enough. And now his confidence will be low and he will make more mistakes.

Think I`ve just about calmed down now and like others have said would have settled for a draw at the start.
Gut wrenching that Meslier holds that ball it`s game over and we take the 3.
Meslier does strike me more of a deep thinker type keeper and I just hope he can put it out of his system save a penalty and goes again.
I do think we should look to play 3 in midfield with Ampadu or AN other alongside Rothwell and Tanaka.
I`m assuming the following will be away on International duty:
Darlow, Rodon, Firpo, Tanaka, Crew, Gnonto, Aaronssen and Joseph.
With Firpo, Tanaka and Aaronssen arriving back Thursday before we play Blades on the Friday.
Don`t suppose they have anyone travelling home late by any chance?

my mate was right behind the goal, j was to the side. he said it was an unbelievable movement and no way mesliers fault

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Oct 05, 2024 4:03 pm  

A decent set of results today, overall

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Oct 05, 2024 6:40 pm  

they were yes. still 110 odd points to play for

That`s fair comment Tad and when shown again it does look like a googly in cricket terms.
My first impression was it went through his legs, then I thought he threw it in. By the sounds of it a freak goal.
Interesting how Firpo stormed off the pitch when he has sometimes cost us games himself.

things happen in the heat of the moment. sure it's OK now

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Oct 05, 2024 8:06 pm  

I'm not having that there wasn't anything he could've done there. There was no pace on the ball, and there was no pressure on him. Either he catches it on the full or takes a step back and catches it after it bounces
