truka11 3 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Clean sheet we have stopped the rot there. Surely 2 up front must be tried now as we looked quite promising for a spell prior to Gibsons red. Thats all I can say in it. Tbh I dont know why but the Ali Brownlee stuff has really just made this game feel insignificant for me. he is too stubben to change unless theres 15-20 minutes to go Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,981 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Cant even be mad its a good point in the end considering how shocking we played, but i am worried because this has been ongoing for 6 or so games Seriously? We played MUCH better today than we have in the previous few games. They're not even comparable IMO. AK even changed tactics with a good 30 minutes to go which is almost unheard of. No matter whether we play 4231 or 442, Clayts and Leadbitter play exactly the same way. At a couple of points in that second half Clayton & Leadbitter were basically stepping on the CB's feet they were so close to them. Link to post Share on other sites
DonnySmog 9 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm sorry but if people think that is a good performance then im baffled. We overplay in midfield and constantly slowed the play down and let them get their defensive shape back. Only when Adomah came on did we inject any urgency in our attacking intent and stretch them. If we had put that back four under any decent period of pressure they would have crumbled. Link to post Share on other sites
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It wasn't a bad performance, but it wasn't amazing either. Dimi pulled off two great saves to keep us in it and Rhodes should have had a goal. Any other ground, we would have won that. Losing Clayton and Gibson for Cardiff - is gonna be a massive blow.

"KM" 1,656 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Rhodes struck by the boro striker curse you couldn't make this up. :D Oway man, he's had 2 sub appearances and one full 90, all those have came in games whilst we haven't been at our best. I'd hardly go as far to say that yet. I'm sorry but he had 2 very good chances he should have converted at least 1 of them. Leadbitter was ***ing shocking, no idea what Downing offers anymore.

ham_chop 36 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 a poor result on an emotionally-draining day. Three concerning performances in a row now Link to post Share on other sites
Barticus 29 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Didn't think we played too bad, deffo an improvement on recent games, created some chances, didn't take them same same, some good individual performances, Nsue, Clayton, Adomah, Frae and of course Dimi, probably in the end happy with a point, they upped their game, at least we're back to clean sheets, we are still 2nd but deffo need a win next Tuesday, not sure whether I want a draw tomorrow of a Hull win to keep the gap to Brighton UTB, Lovely tribute for Ali and thank you Leeds for showing his picture, nice touch Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 385 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 To Rhodes defence he did convert one chance, but as the game was at Elland Road we need to score atleast twice to get one.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ever_the_optimist 41 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Note to Steve Evans - you deserved to draw the game, at best. We didn't play to our best, but we should have been 1 up at half time. Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on Brunners, we did play better today but our midfield just lies too deep, we looked much better when we moved up in the second half, at the end I was glad of the point. Special mention for Fry, never put a foot wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

Will 2,958 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 And we are playing sides we should be beating... we will have tougher games than this. Still plenty of food sides to play. I hope we're hungry enough to beat them. Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 449 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Looked much better when we went 4-4-2 AK should start like that next Tuesday Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 449 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 AK: Really good point and he's happy he didn't look it Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Look at the positives, Forshaw is gonna get two starts. The negative is that he's not partnering Clayton. :D Link to post Share on other sites
