Such a good game in so many ways , breezing every home game not ideal for us Martin and the players will have learnt a lot today Agreed. The learning is all part of Russell Martin's modus operandi, so that won't have done us any harm at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Squad depth and a manager willing to re-set are massive assets in this gruelling league, and I think we have the edge on our main rivals in both.

But also remember we WILL lose again in the league one day, and it will probably be soon, it does not mean we are crap, we are one of if not the best team in this league, and we will bounce back after said loss.

I bet he was and quite rightly so. Should have multi quoted it for context. Response to a poster at HT said the first half performance was why Leeds would finish second. Turned out alright in the end and that half of football wont be the reason why Leeds may well finish second, but to an extent we are still in the driving seat.

It is possible though, but we have a couple of tough away games now. I have been saying since Christmas that WBA will be when we lose, just one of those away games on paper that look like a banana skin, but even more so as they are doing ok of late.

northam soul Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Downes is going to be a huge miss if he is out for a while. I don’t think Smallbone is the answer in there as his replacement which just leaves Charles to step up. Our wide options are ridiculous and god knows who starts on Tuesday. We cannot be that open in midfield again though as it was bloody ludicrous. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdoh Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think brooks coming in and mara starting to gain confidence with more minutes is going to keep us fresh. There's a lot of competition for places now, everyone needs to be on their toes and that can only be a good thing. Will have to check odds if it's worth backing us to win it now but I really think we will. Our bench is so strong nowadays and that means a lot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'd like to see Charles and Rothwell in midfield and also S Armstrong, Che defo should be looking over their shoulders. Also cant wait for Breezy to come back.

Hope it's nothing serious. We'll just have to outscore every opponent like we did today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyNumber7 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 One of the weirdest and most incredible games I've been to. First half was as bad as we've been all season, we looked half asleep and Huddersfield totally deserved their lead. Whatever Russ said at HT worked and two brilliant strikes by Rothwell to level. But even then at 2-2 and then 2-3 I thought Hudders looked more likely to score again, they really had our defence unsettled. Edozie and Mara both had really positive impacts from the bench (really think Mara deserves a start ahead of Adams) Think today really showed the character in this squad and what they are made of. First time in a long time we've had a bit of adversity and a challenge and they absolutely rose to it. To play that poorly for large chunks of the game and still end up winning and scoring 5 has to be a good sign. Want to give credit to Huddersfield too, they really went for it and forced us into a lot of errors. Probably the best side I've seen at SMS this season aside from maybe Leicester, but we just had too much for them in the end. The scenes in the stands after the goals were great, absolute limbs! Need a lie down after that... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Fully deserved to be 2 down at half-time. Che, Stu A, Adam A were poor today. Fraser poor after a good first ten minutes. The difference was that our subs were brilliant to a man. They couldn’t handle us and they tired quickly. Don’t like the way our full-backs stand off and give the opposition too much time though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
