I see Dan James hurt his ribs quite badly. Needed gas n air on coach. No way he’ll be fit for Friday. Big loss that. Fingers crossed Gnonto and Summerville stay fully fit.

Yes bit of luck with gnonto goal but had it go against us a couple of times this season

It looked like nothing of a challenge too - Gnotto has been one of the better players in recent weeks. The one on Rutter at half time looked much worse - So did Bamfords on the ankle of the Middlesborough player.

we also have Anthony. I couldn't see James being effective on that tiny pitch anyway. he needs space and there is none there

A win at QPR and the pressure will be on Ipswich - Southampton beat Leicester and its really tight at the top

An improved performance but we still look really shakey, 3 points is all that matters though.

Like others have said, a QPR win will really put the pressure on Ipswich, two difficult away games for them.

Going to the a great end to the season, just hope it all goes our way!

I actually thought we looked pretty comfortable for most of the game up until their third goal. It was only a poor performance from Messlier that kept them in it.
It proved that the only way to really beat us is to sit back and hope to catch us on the counter. If you try to go toe to toe, you'll get picked off.

Thats Leicester up then

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Wed Apr 24, 2024 8:18 am  

Yep, i'm ok with that result. Southampton now have nothing to play for against us and will have confidence knocked with that shocking performance including the bad defeat at Cardiff. They also will have a major eye on keeping players fit for the playoffs. Straight shootout between us and Ipswich now, all we can do is win our games, put max pressure on and hope they drop points at Hull or Coventry, as with our superior goal difference it would then put it in our hands.

Finally back on here after the usual HTTP error not letting me on.
I too thought we looked comfortable especially going 1 down and fighting back.
Meslier does worry me and Firpo goes walkabouts in defence leaving Ampadu to cover him.
We do lack some pace at FB but good going forward.
Bamford had one of his better games despite not putting one away when he only had the keeper to beat.
Bad news wrt James as he would be ideal coming on late against Southampton and doubt he`s going to be fit.
Rutter again sloppy but made up for it.
Personally thought Rodon was MoM.
Surely Ipswich`s luck must run out soon.
