SUPER CLARETS vs DIRTY LEEDS - Match Thread

[tarkys_ears]

Their keeper looks familiar ...

[Newcastleclaret93]

Yeah it’s bizarre. Can’t see any difference in quality and performance levels this season between Plymouth Argyle (24th) and Leeds (1st).

Of course there’s differences but there not that big. Plymouth drew with Sunderland the other day.

[ksrclaret]

Lol Humphreys. Sums things up nicely.

[willsclarets]

One team were bottom of the league and the other at the top maybe

Well that obviously, but we've seen other lesser teams lay more of a glove on Leeds than we have at home. The focus was obviously not to lose, and maybe nick one. Which is fine, but you're going to get a bit of stick. I'm sure Parker or anyone else on here won't mind if we get promoted, but it is slightly deflating to watch sometimes

[Paddy1882]

Humphrys hasn’t passed the ball forward once tonight.

[Commy]

It's better to be three points behind than six as Leeds have some hard matches coming up.

[Murger]

Only using 1 sub is shocking from Parker.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Apparantly the lowest XG of any game in the championship so far this season

At a combined Xg of 0.32

Let’s see if it breaks the record

[willsclarets]

Is there anyone better 1 v 1 than esteve. He's absolutely impossible to get past

[AmbleClaret]

When we scored 5, that was against Plymouth. If you look at the league table, you’ll see they are bottom. Tonight we are playing Leeds, who are top of the league.

It really is that simple…

If it was that simple, Plymouth would lose every game and Leeds win every one. That doesn't happen, hence no that simple.

[Indecisive]

Of course there’s differences but there not that big. Plymouth drew with Sunderland the other day.

They arguably played a bit better against Sunderland. Against us that was about as bad as I’ve seen a Championship team play first half in a very, very, long time.

[Safron]

This home form has to change it's abysmal at least give it a bloody good go and make it look like you want to win

[Buxtonclaret]

Leeds are going to really go for it now.
We'll win, 1-0

[Kgun5]

This home form has to change it's abysmal at least give it a bloody good go and make it look like you want to win

I don’t think you’re using abysmal right.

[KernowHouseClaret]

This home form has to change it's abysmal at least give it a bloody good go and make it look like you want to win

But, by doing that, we could end up 6pts behind Leeds, as it is we're only 3pts behind, I know what I'd prefer at this moment in the season

[It Is What It Is]

Esteve ....man of the match.

[JimmyRobbo]

Good stop by JT but straight at him.

[Dyched]

But, by doing that, we could end up 6pts behind Leeds, as it is we're only 3pts behind, I know what I'd prefer at this moment in the season

You prefer to have a manager in charge that refuses to try and win a game to go joint top?

[ksrclaret]

Christ, something actually happened then. It was a shot by their man that our goalkeeper had to prevent from going in.

[JohnDearyMe]

We are a really tough watch at home this season.

[willsclarets]

So brilliant without the ball, Esteve in particular unreal.

[tarkys_ears]

You prefer to have a manager in charge that refuses to try and win a game to go joint top?

This clowns a proper wet wipe. Just foe and don't entertain him.

[JimmyRobbo]

Steve's positioning was perfect.

[jojomk1]

We are a really tough watch at home this season.

They arguably played a bit better against Sunderland. Against us that was about as bad as I’ve seen a Championship team play first half in a very, very, long time.

Nothing to do with us at all though of course, right?

[Safron]

We have 2 strikers on the bench who are quite capable of snatching a winner but NO Scott is very happy with a point

[tarkys_ears]

Pathetic

Absolutely disgraceful not to even try to win a game

Parker can **** off. I'd rather be in league 2 than put up with this ******** any longer

[Newcastleclaret93]

Burnley in the second half.

No shots
No corners
No touches in the opposition box


Wowzers at home against any opposition that is poor

Take the point and move on

[TPClaret]

We have 2 strikers on the bench who are quite capable of snatching a winner but NO Scott is very happy with a point

No we haven’t

[Dyched]

Nothing to do with us at all though of course, right?

Given how many we’ve scored this season it’s hard to imagine it was down to our brilliance to score 16% of our season tally in 45 minutes.

[rosswallacefreekick]

Spreadsheet football.

[burnley007]

Scott Parker is as positive to football as VAR.

Painful to watch again.

[CoolClaret]

Pathetic

Yeah no you wouldn't.

[burnley007]

Agreed.

[JimmyRobbo]

0 0.

I'll take that.

We're in a very good place. No need to panic.

[Kgun5]

I’ll take it. Still gut punched from last night, but at least this won’t pile on top of it.

[Murger]

Poor use of subs from the manager tonight. What is it with his inability to get us going forward?

[jojomk1]

We have 2 strikers on the bench who are quite capable of snatching a winner but NO Scott is very happy with a point

Those two strikers are old guys who could make very little difference in this negative set up

[Buxtonclaret]

Neither side wanted to lose that.
UTC

[NickBFC]

A poor advert for top end Championship football, but at least another clean sheet and a point. Move on but we need a run of wins now.

[RVclaret]

Good result. Sh1te game. Painful going forward. Outstanding defensively. Nicely positioned for the next run of games.

[Burnley Ace]

We have 2 strikers on the bench who are quite capable of snatching a winner but NO Scott is very happy with a point

Yes, the top two teams go up. We have taken 4 points of Leeds, they have 1.

[Tricky Trevor]

Well we won a point there. They were by far the better side, with more forward intentions.
What ticks me off, not tonight, is in all the 0-0 home games we’ve had how much time we waste p1ssing around at the back. If we have better players, we do, and if we are fitter, we are, then keep the ball in play and grind them down.

[fatboy47]

Mixed feelings.

But some of that wasn't great.

[dougcollins]

We settled for a point before ko.

That's not what I want us to do.

[ksrclaret]

That's modern football for ya. No longer recognisable. Bunch of fannies falling over all over the shop, teams instructed to pass it around the back all game, not a single shot registered in a 45 minute half of a home game.

[JohnDearyMe]

Mind numbingly boring again. Is our main objective to get promoted or secure the clean sheet record? Hard to tell sometimes

[Stonehouse]

Pathetic

Absolutely disgraceful not to even try to win a game

You should go and watch Stanley .

[KernowHouseClaret]

You prefer to have a manager in charge that refuses to try and win a game to go joint top?

I prefer to have a manager that looks at the bigger picture, the next 6 games are, on paper, in our favour.
Leeds have only won 2 against any of the top 8 and they have some tough teams coming up. Let's see how close we are to each other at the end of the next 6 fixtures

[burnley007]

A thoroughly forgettable game. Again.

Thrilling season.
