    The bit where you're being so aggressive

    The fact we are bottom of the league should give you a pretty good clue why that's where terrible teams usually are with 2 and a bit games left in a season

    Aggressive? How... haha..

    Just because I said the thing is we are playing well?

    You interpret it how you want Jay but its certainly not aggressive pmsl.. Far from it.

    I'd say posts pulling the team down when they are playing well against the top of the league are a tad more aggressive.

    To be fair I think they look like a catastrophe waiting to happen. We should be out of sight.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Literally. This thread is about the pressing game being a reasonable option. I haven't a clue what you're trying to say.

    I'm referring to the current game, is it not allowed to suggest we are playing well? In fact do you not think we are generally?

    Can't help you with how you interpret things or play your silly games.

    This second half I think we've been excellent. other than the usual finishing problem. Can't understand why Brown, who I like, is still on the field, but playing poorly, and we haven't shifted Woodrow up front. Although I fully expect to be told Woodrow is already playing up front when he clearly isn't.

    But we have played the pressing game well, hence Leeds having to keep adjusting tactics and play long.

    We are playing well in this system today..

    Another example there, Mowatt pointlessly chasing the keeper down.

    I would put Woodrow up front and looking at the bench, probably bring Brown off.. maybe give Marsh a chance?

    At this point in the season in the position we are in playing well while still losing isn't anything other than bloody frustrating.

    Not ideal but guess Leeds would run the clock down as much as possible.

    Yeah get that frustration completely, but credit to the team today.. Finishing and final ball all that has let us down today admittedly so far.
