MATCHWATCH : Leeds United (h) sponsored by nothing to lose

At home you need to show a bit of desire and attack, not sit back the whole game hoping for a point. Really disappointed how timid we were, gonna lose 19/20 playing like that. Overall, individuals played ok, Gunter very good, Ejaria good moments, Swifts corners crap. Tactics 1/10 for effort.

Um. Bit harsh. Its not like we were trying to sit back. Leeds forced us back. Theyre a better team with better players. Other than Ovie obviously. Hes a diamond.

We’re 19th. They are top. We’re never going to dominate. We made as many good chances as they did

Don’t agree. We’ve done a lot better lately because we’ve closed down the opposition and stopped them playing. Didn’t really do that today and forgot we were the home team I think. As I said, thought individually did alright, but tactics were wrong.

[Hound]

Gunter making Gomes and maffff look total mugs today.

tbf doesn’t need Gunter to put in a good display to do that

Absolute nonsense! Playing the best team in the league, had some decent chances and defended very well.

Not sure what you expect from a team with a relatively new manager.

We did stop them playing pretty well - have you seen them in full flow?

[Snowflake Royal]

Ejaria's a lot of fun to watch but, my God, we're f*ckin' toothless.

Agree. Just seems we played for a draw, no attempt to really go for it at any point.

We broke forward with pace and intent loads. We were just up against the best defence in the league and one of the best teams. We had better chances than Leeds bar their actual goal.


I think part of the problem with Ejaria is he's so unpredictable no one knows when or where to make the run or that they are about to receive the ball, especially as he quite often seems to take extra touches and hold on to it longer than you expect.. He just needs to dial down the show pony stuff and play a bit more efficiently and effectively. And have a dig a bit more often.

My God he's skillful though.

[JR]

Tonight we were absolutely shafted by a loser called Boye.

Not only did he make a horrific lame error that cost us the game, but his laxidasical efforts after that showed no desire to make amends.

I hope we never see the Argentinian in a Reading shirt ever again.

I'll keep teeing em up for you.

Erm... I mean, I kinda agree with the poor show, but that's hella strong.

Certainly a really lame attempt to turn and cross. Not sure he really had any chance of getting the ball back once he lost it, and you don't really expect your striker to charge the length of the pitch. Rinomhota picked him up, just didn't quite get close or goalside enough. Miazga couldn't quite get high enough and Moore couldn't have put in a more perfect deflection if he tried.

Absolutely stunning diagonal out ball to set it all up.

[karbota]

I see the Leeds fans are still moaning about their allocation.

If they're that concerned about us losing revenue, maybe we should charge them the same that they charge us to sit in that shitty yellow cheese wedge.

Oh, and OMA, I hate Leeds because I used to live there.

And Bradfords better?.

You mean Puscas right?

[Hound]

That Ben White chap was absolutely quality for them

I’m confused why he is at Leeds and Brighton are playing the woeful Dan Burn instead

Looks an international quality player to me

I can't agree with those who are slating BP

They're a good side, and we can agree on that. But they're not that good. They've only just beaten a Luton side 2-1 in the 94th minute. We created next to nothing apart from set pieces and whilst Bowen deserved credit for the defensive set up, we really could have and should have played more on the front foot as the game was opening up

[Hound]

I thought we did to be honest - just lacked the guile up front. As mentioned, I think this side needs Baldock in there - the others just offer the same blustering power. They handled our forwards far too comfortably

I was referring to his efforts after the restart. If I’ve come on as a sub and messed up, then I chase down the next ball like my life depends on it. Nothing of the sort, so he’s not one for this parish.

My point exactly, people on here are talking as though we were playing Real Madrid. Might still have lost playing more on the attack, but always likely to lose playing that defensively

[URZZZZ]

Gonna have to agree to disagree here. On the few occasions we pressed high, we forced them into mistakes, won dangerous freekicks etc. But we seemed too reluctant to do so at times and in general, sat back too much

It reminded me very much of Sheffield United (H) last season actually and yet Marshall was criticised for our approach that evening

[Hound]

Oh no, we were horrible that night

I think the midfield boys genuinely pushed forward in that last 25 - but a combination of blunt attack and good defence kept us causing a lot of problems

Our best spell of the match positionally was probably that last 20

Absolutely agree,should have creamed the Leeds player once he lost it.A total disgrace.

Really poor opinion here. He should have been cuter with the ball but there’s no way he’s catching up with the Leeds player once he’s lost the ball
