I think the 2nd goal optimised why Bielsa rates Bamford so highly. His all round play as improved a lot this season. He'll never be a natural finisher though, so that will always stop him from being a premier league striker.

Spitting feathers after the result yesterday. Poor quality of the subs cost us with no option of fresh legs in the middle of the park nor any experience to bring on at the back. If we get anymore key injuries I fear a repeat of last year. Kinnear saying yesterday they wont bring anyone in during jan unless anyone leaves. Why not get a bit more strength in depth and make certain of promotion? Why take another gamble....

These things happen. I was not happy about it last night. More goals conceded in 30 mind than the last 6 games.

We're still on a good run and have a good lead.

A lack of strengthening is a real risk though. Injuries could derail us, and for the small outlay of some quality

I accept these things happen. I fancy us at fulham and we will beat preston.
however.
we messed up last year by not strengthening in january. why the hell are we going the same route again?

On their heads be it if we fail again. I dont think we will as I think the rest of the comp isnt quite as good as last year and we'll just get away with it but for the life of me I cannot understand why they would take a gamble and not make sure in Jan we have thr squad to cope with most eventualities. However I fully expect Fulham to spend big in Jan to make a push for top 2

The first hour was as good as I've seen form a Leeds team since the champions league days. Frustrating result in the end, but the overall performance level of the team is getting better.
We're going to have to accept that the lack of height in the team is going to be exposed on occasion.

I doubt we'll see more than 1 signing in Jan, unless Kiko gets a long ban or Eddie leaves.
I reckon we might see a back up centre half brought in, but nobody will be signed to displace any of the current first choice 11.

Disappointing result today, especially with other teams around us dropping points.

The penalty Fulham got today was one of the softest I've seen.

The refereeing in the EFL is a joke.

Luckily we didnt get punished by results around us. Disgraceful decision for the pen. Ref should be suspended. But we should have won regardless. Midfield is not producing. Hernandez and Robert's are always getting injured. Need to strengthen in Jan.

Genuinely feel we cant afford to lose boxing day. Need to arrest the dip on form

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Dec 22, 2019 6:14 am  

I agree. we deserved something today.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Dec 23, 2019 12:59 pm  

Once again we are hammering possession without hitting the back of the net.
Listening to the Fulham commentary it makes you laugh how they see the opposition.
Regular milking the fouls and adding drama to each collision is how they saw Leeds on Saturday.
