We’ve conceded more goals at home than the entire bottom 4
at 20:17 16 Mar 2024

And have lost 1 home league game in 35, insanity. Scored 18 more than Leicester at home.

The defending at the end
at 17:51 9 Mar 2024

Don’t want to call out individuals particularly just more curious of trying to understand who is not doing their job. I know we talk about zonal and man for man etc and we play a mix of the two.

I’m curious what Clarke is doing for both goals though. The first one, does he have a man at all? The guy is just in between him and Hutchinson for the knockdown with no challenge at all. Maybe Hutchinson should make making more of an effort to get at least on the inside of their player to make it more difficult header but he’s not who you want defending the back post. That was after we booted it back to them to recycle instead of trying to waste a more seconds and obviously we had a chance to clear it after said header.

For the winner looks like he should be attacking the ball to me?

I love what he gives us going forward but in these kind of slow build away games I’m probably starting Axel for a little extra composure.

Great second half performance until injury time
at 14:40 9 Mar 2024

That’s the annoying thing, they didn’t have a sniff. Cardiff deserved something really based on the entire game but if you find a way to win these games that’s what might get you promoted. The ball into the box before the equalizer should have been a wake up call. After they equalized, free kick or not before the corner we were rocked and giving the ball away, which is really sloppy we had to surely just settle for the point then.

Huge set back and a big shame.

It’s all about us and we go one game at a time.

Seriously though after 8 days of talking about nothing but a title race and barely a mention of the team that are level on points if this doesn’t make them realize they are in a fight until the end nothing will. The national media aren’t much better but all this just plays in our favor.

McKenna is the perfect man for this charge, level headed and focused shut out the noise and let us worry about other results!

With playoffs a certainty in February we are in a unique position
at 23:28 24 Feb 2024

We have not been second for a while now, everyone has talked about our dip and even though they won’t admit it others teams and fanbases are probably a little surprised we’ve stuck around. There is no pressure on us, I feel if we’d had been second since September and were still there it might be a bit different.

As long as we stay a game with in Leeds (I mean we are level) we can play with quite a lot of freedom. Thought Birmingham went for it a bit second half and that played right into our hands. Don’t actually hate playing upper mid table fodder or those looking to make a run for the playoffs. Rotherham was a horrible game for a third team to play in six days. Feeling quite good about the next month. If the results continue to come let’s see if the others hold their nerve. For as much as the “I predict a riot” stuff was rocking come full time, Elland Road seemed edgy for 80 minutes to me. If they go and win 15+ in a row fair enough not much you can do about that. However, that’s a tall order in any league. Fans can talk about all this but as long as the team just focuses on itself, we are well in this!

Best first half at PR in a few months!
at 17:56 24 Feb 2024

Link up play and attacking the space was like watching us in the autumn, easily the most impressive since Norwich before Christmas. Annoying to go in level (same as the derby) with missed chances. Outside a mini spell in the second half I really thought there was only one winner. Fitness played a part as well. Keeper was a little edgy again is probably my only negative but I’m nit picking.

Some great performances across the park. I said in my family WhatsApp, that Tuesday was a very hard game to be thrown on for Axel and thought he was superb today. Great composure both ends of the pitch. Moore and Hutchinson superb, Chaplin as well, especially first half.

Leeds twitter said we struggled to get by Brum. They’re obviously not worried about us at all. Insecure bunch.

Off to brunch. COYB

at 01:34 21 Feb 2024

From those 9 games we have still got 20 points lol.

Over 2 PPG when conceding 2+ goals (2 wins out of 2 when conceding 3).

It’s was pretty ugly performance really if we are honest
at 22:21 20 Feb 2024

Bottom of the league and 3-1 at home it really shouldn’t have to be like that. We take teams to the sword first half so many times but it’s never comfortable. Three games in six days and two on the road not easy but you just never fancy us to keep it tight at home. It’s not just us playing open it’s nothing hopeful long balls causing all sorts of issues. Lucky to come through that I thought but these kind of results where you have to find something so late can do a lot for belief as well

All that said never a penalty either. That clown needs striking off the list. Pretty sure he was desperate for them to get another equalizer as well.

Trying to switch back to work mode after that is tough!

Realistically how many wins to finish second?
at 01:48 18 Feb 2024

One game at a time and all that but now we are getting towards the business end of the season, so it’s fun to try and map it out somewhat.

Two points a game from here on out probably still won’t be enough, which is just ridiculous. I am thinking a minimum of nine wins and a few more points somehow. We don’t half pick our seasons.

Broadhead and random thoughts.

Very good when he came on again. I think we need to keep playing one of (if not our best) player through a bad spell, particularly at home. I know it’s easier to make an impact against a tiring side second half but I love him as a player. Compare that to Harness who wasted the ball a couple of times late.

For me the main switch up I’d consider is Hutchinson over Burns (especially away from home). I feel like in these tough away fixtures we need just stay in or be level in the game late. What we can bring on off the bench should win us a lot of points. It was just too much to ask today after the horrible first 45.

Moore wasn’t the only new Striker that looked handful either. Plenty of football left.

Never thought I’d see that kind of result under McKenna
at 15:37 27 Jan 2024

That’s sport though so I guess you should never take anything for granted.

For those looking from crumbs of comfort from match stats, ten changes etc. It was Maidstone, 6 tiers below. Not really an acceptable home result with the players we had on the pitch whichever way you draw up the analysis. Just one that will be mentioned for a rather long time you fear.

That’s a shocker and we are going to need to answer it because no one likes being embarrassed or on the wrong side of national headlines. If Norwich lost to Maidstone this board would be lapping it up so I don’t really think others on here can have a pop people for being rather angry with the outcome.

Let’s hope we put it behind us and fast.
