A game of two halves again. And again, even against drek, we reverted to form. It simply will not do. I am extremely pessimistic about this season and do not see how one game can change anything. The writing has been on the wall for some time now. We are careering straight into the wall regardless. I want to be wrong.

But of course, the same defensive frailties as soon as a team starts to push forward - it started when Llorente fluffed his role, fell over to ‘cover his mistake’, and from then on they started to look nervous. Luke Ayling, bless him - how many goals does he have to give away before he is rested! Roca was unlucky re the penalty - I thought he was trying to get his arm out of the way, but it hit him so a 50/50 call. But Ayling? No-one has mentioned it, but having Greenwood on for the corners almost justifies his inclusion - he takes some great corners. Good practice for the weekend though - now the season really does have to start! > On 19 Jan 2023, at 09:09, Richard Walker via Leedslist <[email protected]> > wrote: > > you say Cardiff offered nothing but that actually scored 3 goals and had > another couple of good chances which shows how fragile our defence is at the > moment. > Credit to Marsch though for actually picking a strong side and going after > them which has worked well because everyone goes into the Brentford game with > our tails up.
