The best team lost,

Nothing at all wrong with pointing out your observations about the current state of play with the club. Just doing it a little bit more constructively might help you get your point across to more people ... perhaps ...

I refer to one of my posts about you last week.... you still no absoulutly f%&k all about football!
 
I've been looking back over some of wiggy's posts. It seems quite clear to me that two different people are using the same profile. The difference between posts is marked. And no I'm not fishing, I genuinely think this.
 
It's a real shame we didn't get George O'Callaghan in the summer. He could've been the missing link.

Benno scored again yesterday. Wonder if he fancies a return?

Efe Sodje's return is beginning to cure the former, although it'll be a couple of games yet until the defence has fully clicked. Only the arrival of a genuine goal-threat from midfield on loan is going to cure the latter.

Either that, or a change to 4-3-1-2 (why play Gutts, it's not like we'd miss him?)

Hey ho, need to win on Tuesday, so get behind 'em.

Matt
Think you hit the nail on the head Matt we have no plan B at the moment, two men mark freddy and thats alot of our problem, we need another striker capable of taking some of the responsibility, or an attacking midfielder who makes runs into the box and gets on the score sheet but the lads are doing the best they can

Actually 1)Gutts played well until he tired in the 2nd half 2)there was a defensive mix up for their 1st goal but the defense doesn't qualify for a "shambles".You're right that Adam and Efe both lack pace.Personally I though Adam and Efe didn't put the cover on for the first goal.A mate put it down to Hammell pushing up and not covering back in time.Poor communication maybe.Not a shambles though!3)It WAS a GREAT performance.Granted the result was a poor return for the effort the team put in.

Maybe I look at this in to simple a way, but surely the best team gets the round bouncey thing between the big white sticky thing with a stringy bag attached to it, more often than the other team??

I wish it was that simple! One of the things that makes football the best spectator sport is that there is just enough chance involved to make almost any game interesting. Sometimes it goes for you and sometimes against you. EG, Watford should have won on Saturday, but the Lino got a split-second decision wrong.

Rugby, by way of example, has much less chance built in and so it is much rarer for their to be true "upsets".

Fair enough, but the ref or lino didn't get a massive decision wrong. A bit of debate maybe over the free kick that lead to the second goal, but the Leeds keeper made a brilliant save from Freddy, which is what his meant to do, but no controversy.

The best team will USUALLY score more goals than their oppo & stop goals going in, by whatever means necessary. Leeds scored two good goals, ignoring the defence going AWOL & any debate over the free kick for the second. They defended in numbers, won the vast majority of headers in their own box & cut out passes frequently. Exactly what we need to do. You can do all the fancy stuff in your own half, but unless you do something in the last third, it counts for FA!!
 
The best team have more chance of scoring more goals, doesnt mean they will.

Arsenal played Everton on Saturday and totally dominated the game, Everton didnt have one shot on target, nicking a goal from a corner. Arsenal were without doubt the best team but didnt score more goals...

First in League One last year...
 
Very frustrated on Saturday. I'd like to congratulate everyone that went the support was fantastic. I had a stinking cold but got taken in by it all and began singing with the rest of you.

As for the game leeds had 2 shots and scored 2 goals and this is the major difference between league 1 and the championship. Guttridge played better then he did against Ipswich. I still feel we need someone else in midfield. I really like Clarke's attitude and commitment but his distribution is poor.

I can't honestly see what we can do differently. Hopefully the revenue from the united game will go on a decent attacking central midfielder. I think we are missing the options Bradbury gives us and I'm not a particularly big fan of his.

Keep the faith I think we'll be ok....just!
 
Agree with everything said....its hard to attack a team that puts ten men behind the ball....Maybe we need to start playing like it go for the draw and maybe nick a winner.aka Leeds
 
I think Wiggy should let us all know what she looks like, or make herself known at Molineux - it would just be interesting to put a face the the rediculous outbursts!
