A little chip in there after Baz came for it and was on the floor and that would have been it there.

And again. No easy ball avaialble. So a threaded one picked and possession lost. No one offering an outball and here come Leeds again., getting a corner.

Nice to see Baz going for that ball on the ground, even after getting fouled. Commited.

We just managed to string 4 passes together well within our own half. Where it went wrong, and Ely might have found this a couple of times earlier, is that there are no out balls. We're positionally disjointed. So, there's no one avaliable to receive a pass in midfield. And so we lose it for another Leeds attack.

ogf for. Such a lazy couple of passes there from us. Leeds nearly in. But we take it up the other end and Paul gets a shot in. Could have been a lot worse there. It's ough enough, but we're very sloppy today.

Bamford in there with a good run. Easy enough for Baz. Whoo But it's Leeds on us again, and a shot not a million miles wide.

Ely - nicely winnign and turning with that. Good positioning 20secs before that. It's not all bad. 🙂

Ely wins us a freekick in our own half. He was running across the park, going nowhere. There were a couple of options. Not good ones, but we preferred to go nowhere , rahter than take any of them. Safety first from Ely, but it's not really got us anywhere.

Oh Ely...giving it away so cheaply..

Tsk. We continue to give it away really cheaply. So, we're not getting any hold on the game. Giving it away in their attacking positions too. Reduced to hoofing it clear.

Selles saying 4-2-3-1. Not often I can read anything the coaches say. Shows what a clear communicatior Selles is. 🙂

We did nothing with that break. Inviting pressure here, which isn;t good. Aaaronson is someone I've liked the work rate of when I've seen him. Gnonto too continues to look good. So, we're either trying to tire them out by inviting all this pressure, or we're hoping to do a lot more on the counter. 🙂

taht smooth, calm international class of Janny B getting that one clear, there. 🙂

It doesn;t help if we gift it to them not far outside our box though.

Armstrong's effort will hopefully be the start of more, but we had a good runner we didn;t pick out.

McClaren = Fail and "wally" tag. Selles= Pass and "Fashion icon" tag

Nathan is going to be in for one heck of a shock when he turns up to take over. 🙂

No. But your subscription to Selles' onlyfans page for your own personal presser, is a bit. 🙂

Being overlooked and left wondering if he'd get offered it, was all just Rasmus' way of giving him adversity to overcome. Box ticked. 🙂

I hope we get to see him play, before he retires. 🙂 Good to see someone doing so well. He at a good place to develop his skills, as he comes up against a more level physical playing field later on.

It's great to read the optimism and happy posts about the difference Selles has made in such a short space of time. Hopefully this will continue, even over the bumpy run in ahead. It's a big ask to keep us up, having burned through some of our easier games. Every game in charge is magnified by our position, no more so than the massive game tomorrow. The managerial change at Leeds may make it harder to prepare. But we've played systems relying on our own strengths under Ralph, and Selles is tapping into that. Hopefully, the players will react well to having some certainty, rather than fall into any complacency. Players who may feel they're not in Selles' immediate plans, may well be asked to step up. There will be knocks, but they all have to be focused on the goal of staying up. Lots of perfectly valid concerns posted as well, regarding experience, position with 2 previous managers, not being first choice etc. I'm wondering if this is a reaction to Leeds making an appointment, SR failing to bring in anyone behind the scenes, or Rasmus taking time to look at training before backing him, as per all the stuff he said about Jones. Regardless, it's good to go into such a run in with at least some positivity and belief, no matter how it turns out.

He/him means nothing to me now, until this is resolved by suitable amounts of public outcry followed by grovelling apology from all connected.

Well, that's all his work over decades, including Band Aid ruined. Even all the other people on it I'll now only be able to think of, connected with this. I expect them all to come out and distance themselves from Bob, or they will be tarnished too.
