* The Unofficial "Official" Leeds United v Middlesbrough [12/24] Match-Day Thread "

[Otto42]

McGree dwindling on the ball there Maddo

 

[Duffman]

McGree looks off the pace so far. Hopefully grow into the game

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

What the hell is that.

 

[r00fie1]

Flippin wasted

 

[Boro_Interlinked]

Was never going to be an easy opening 35mins. Dieng scored for them effectively. Need to keep this at 1 until we can get in for the half time break

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

What an atrocious corner
Jesus Christ

 

[Ratedr69]

We don't have a budget to get automatic promotion really, we may well get 2nd though but. Nailed on for playoffs is where I think expectations were this season which we are achieving.

We have a squad capable of automatics for me. That’s why it’s either promotion or bust for me with this manager tbh

 

[uncle_rico]

Hackney having a stinker

 

[futureboy]

Wasted a corner trying to be too clever.

So far this performance has been all the worst things we do, in one package.

Defending has been OK but we've still managed to concede a pinball goal. Sigh.

 

[borolad259]

Ayling for Borges maybe. More aggression left

 

[Johnnyweetabix]

Not good enough for automatics.

I’m worried we might just not be good for the playoffs

 

[Laughing]

Starting to play ourselves into this.

For all Leeds dominance Dieng hadn't really made a save other than the eventual goal.

I ain't too worried yet.

 

[Scrug]

Hackney’s been appalling. If this is a £20million+ player the game’s gone.

 

[Tuncay17]

Hackney has been dreadful so far

 

[bevoboro]

How am I, I always say the same thing. Never once said anything other than, don't get carried away, just stop saying we're good enough for top 2 when we clearly are not.

In fairness we just had an away draw with the other side who are expected to finish top two, it's a hard league to gauge this year and any team in the top 6 probably fancy their chances of being in the top two with Leeds. There's no need for such negativity before Christmas, some games we look brilliant, some games we look ordinary just like pretty much every other side in contention this season.

He’s miles of it tonight. Silly fouls, giving the ball away loads. Needs to wake up

Some on here think Dieng wasn’t at fault. Not a howler, but to me it just looked all wrong as I said earlier.

How that's negative? It's just truthful.

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Was Hackney a one season wonder

He was poor against Burnley too, and Sheff Utd. Seems to crumble in big games.

Hoping he goes and sticks one in the top corner but these look a class above us.
