Given the bus trips impact on the start at the weekend, have Leeds walked to Stoke today? Seems like every pass has been over or under hit and every first touch heavy.

Within 5 minutes of coming on both James and bamford show their trademark fk ups, James not squaring the ball and bamford, just too sloppy and laid back in everything he does, why on earth was he given the ball.

bamford is garbage. always has been. one flash in the pan season.
james is the brad dwyer of football

I think that James is the anti dwyer actually, James has all the build up but not the end product, Dwyer the opposite.

I meant both are so rocks and diamonds. no consistency.
both right in a way

How the fooking hell does that lanky lump of shat get in the team in the first place.
Is it 3 years he`s done naf all.
Even if the keeper saves it that`s something but to miss the chuffing target is disgraceful.
Agree with Seth that they were half asleep that first half.
Started to come into it then Bamford does their team talk and they score.

The players who came in really didn't work. Gnonto is nowhere near as effective on the right, as he is on the left. Gruev was better in the 2nd half, but looked lost in the 1st, and Anthony was dreadful. I'd have taken all 3 off at HT.

As for Bamford, I'm convinced he's cursed. He looks mentally broken.

Agree with all of that other than Bamford cursed.
I think when Bamford plays Leeds are cursed.

Agree. Gruev I think will get better but he was well off the pace first half, looked scared. Anthony had a mare which was bizarre as he’s looked decent to date.

We desperately need Spence at right back. Gray is not good there. Missed him in midfield. As soon as Rutter drops to 10 we look instantly better. It’s his best position by a mile. Bamford did some good stuff when he came on then lets himself down big time. He must never take a penalty again until his confidence is 110%.

I’ll call it now. If Ipswich win their game in hand top 2 are out of sight.

Thought it was the right call to rotate the squad but it didnt work at all.

I'd have brought Kamara on in the second half, think we missed him from previous games.

Feel sorry for Bamford, as its clear he really wants to score and make amends for last seasons mistakes but he should never been allowed to take that pen, hes shocking at them.

Just dour.

Looked off the pace in the first half, no consistency or effort.
Second half started to turn the screw and penalty I thought was culmination of some sustained pressure finally by us.
No doubt about it shouldn't have been taking that pen, he's WAY off the pace and the inevitable miss just pulled the cats tail. The crowd up, they grew another leg, our heads went down and we concede another ridiculous goal from a set piece.

Bamford was marking the goal scorer too

Farke left it too late to make the changes too. He said Summerville can't play 3 games in a week though due to painkillers he's taking. Always going to be tough for Gruev to come into that game imo, he'd have been better getting half hour or so v Huddersfield at the weekend if we were a goal or two up. Gnonto was rusty as heck but he will get better. There were just too many changes imo. Having said that, if we score the Pen we win.

There's a pattern developing at corners and not defending near post in the air very well. Needs sorting,.

Agree with all that`s been said.
Probably right to rotate the squad for a game we should be winning.
Gray lost his man a few times and give the lad credit he is filling in at RB.
If Farke doesn`t trust Ayling I can`t understand why he is wanting to give him another years contract.
The worry is if Bamford is on the pitch in place of Piroe there`s only Summerville at a push who can take a penalty.

With the confidence Rutter is currently playing with I imagine hes got a cheeky penalty in him.
