I thought the same cos when they move the ball about they're a half decent team.
Special mention to Gray who learnt his lesson up against Millar.
Rutter should have scored 2 today and whilst his flicks and over elaborate moves look good when they come off.
He`s a chuffing nightmare when they don`t especially in this league.
Not sure why we didn`t play Plymouth on the Sunday btw?

Preston marked him well but his touch was well off. He also tried too many tricks and flicks when a simple pass was the better option. Just one of those days for the lad.

Gruev excellent again too. Kamara not quite at his best. Thought Preston had a real good go at us though and nearly gave us a bloody nose again. Special mention to Firpo too, very solid and a great assist. Very very good win.

Yes said same Tad. Very calm and controlled ball well. Created a few chances too.

Although I would like to see him given a chance up front now that Rutter has found the position most of us said he should play at

bit of a muted atmosphere but worth going for the last minute goal and explosion.
massive win. ground it out well. Preston were the most cynical team I've seen in a long time. got what they deserved

Managed to get a couple of tickets and agree Preston were very cynical, time wasting, fouling every time anyone got to turn and break from midfield.
I was surprised after their early goal they did not go longer more and try to get at us quicker, particularly with the wind. We look pretty flaky on crosses.

Some good performances but I worry about Bamford and lack of pace now although he helps link the play. Important win

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Mon Jan 22, 2024 7:29 pm  

both defences struggled on crosses and Preston defensive players were huge.
possibly the wind was far worse than it looked.
at one point the flag on the corner post in the cheese wedge corner was touching the grass!!!

Yep agree. I’d like to see him get a few games there.. perhaps in the cup at home could be interesting.

Not too bad a result tonight at Leicester v Ipswich. They’re certainly not falling away Ipswich but we’re closing the gap.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Mon Jan 22, 2024 10:03 pm  

Have to say watching the game tonight I`m not sure how Leicester are so far ahead in this league.
Ipswich looked the better team to me and they keep snagging the points.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Tue Jan 23, 2024 5:19 am  

leicester could, and should, have been out of sight at half time.
yet another bit of luck with the keeper spilling it.
if luck gets you promoted Ipswich will be champions!

also it's 2 more points pulled back
