Half time, 0-0 and yes, it's a dour watch.
I watched Leeds play Cardiff on the opening day and that Leeds team were miles better than what they've put out against us today. I'm not sure if all the missing players are off or if they've got an injury crisis. But on paper, this Leeds team look like they are there for the taking...
But then it kicked off and I was reminded how we'd struggle to beat the Hen and Chickens.
I just wish we had the same desire to play football in the oppositions half as what we have when we're on the edge of our own box...
We seem to be happy dicing with death in dangerous areas with players that are nowhere near good enough to do it, but when we get it forward in safe areas, it's like a hot potato. What happened to wingers and forwards putting their foot on the ball, linking up, little give and goes, a bit of creativity? Nobody up top ever shows. Nobody willing to take a risk.
And when we do have an out ball, it's always Furlong. One of the most useless "footballers" I've ever seen wear the shirt. The fact he's been the only option in his position for the past 4 years sums up why we've gone backwards at such a pace. Who knows, maybe if he gets another 10 chances to cross, he might actually keep one within the parameters of the pitch.
While it's 0-0 we always have a chance, but can't help thinking we should be having more of a go against this Leeds team. We'll need to have a shot at some point if we do intend on trying to win. But it seems like we've seen "Leeds" and are just too scared to cross the halfway line. Even though the team they have put out is nothing like the side they had last season.
