Another 'Elland Road embarrassment' for the fans to endure, the club need to get a grip and fast or we are going to meekly surrender our place in this league. Sign a striker ffs, this has been an issue for nigh on a year now and the clubs inertia over it is starting to come back and bite them on the arse. The club need to face upto the reality of life in this league, there is too much self congratulating and back slapping instead of focusing on taking the club forward.
As for the game, we didn't play too bad in the first half and the first 20 minutes of the second half we were on top. The thing with Town is though, we are mentally and physically weak, numerous times we were easily brushed off the ball and collapse mentally at the drop a hat. We couldn't even hold out at 1-0 till half time, switching off and giving a calamitous goal.
First goal, Lynch has a clearance charged down, falls luckily to Austin who drills it home, most people will be pointing the fingers at Lynch for this goal but Smithies, get a grip mate, there is no way should have been beaten by that on your near post and the rest of the defence stood around watching Austin. Second, caught in possession in midfield, and again to be fair to Lynch he could have a good argument to say he was fouled but he goes down leaving the Leeds player with a clear run on goal, chips it onto he bar and the rebound is drilled home emphatically, if this had had been at the other end we'd have blazed that over the bar. Third goal, more flimsy defending with Leeds first attack of the second half and its 3-0, after that we were finished.
We did have one or two good chances but Wells failed to make a decent connection with a great opportunity early in the second half, Bunn blazed wildly over in the first half when composure was needed and Stead blazed over when he it needed to slot it low but by then it was way way too late.
Bunn and Hudson were the only positives for me today. As for Robinson, if this guy is better than Dixon, I'll show my arse on the Town Hall steps. Wells, starting to worry about this lad, ok, he has had no service all season and today was no different but today fluffed a good chance at 2-0, looking short on confidence, needs a goal.
