We really do miss Gruev as Kamara or Gray cannot cover the defensive side that Gruev does protecting the back 4.
If Bamford scores that goal I reckon we get our confidence and win that comfortably.
Last two games we are inviting teams on to us.
Maybe they are following the Rohan Smith method of coaching.

Massively miss Gruev. We were wide open in the middle. We’re probably still tired too to be fair. We’ll be better at the weekend and hopefully Gruev back. Welsh lads need a couple of days rest

Just listened to Farke. They purposely gave hull a bit more ball. Kamara was unwell but still played and Byram carrying a knock. Fingers crossed Gruev and Roberts back at the weekend

As poor as we were at times, apart from the goal, they barely created anything.
In possession, the space between the lines was too big. There was barely any passing options in the first half, as the attacking line was top high, and the defensive line was too deep, which left the midfield with too much ground to cover and allowed Seri and Morton to run the show. So there are definitely things to work on, but with a couple of proper training sessions, should be fixable

gruev is briliant in that area. hopefully he's back saturday

You do have question Bamford's involvement at present - he doesn't seem to be offering anything and he is so slow.

Perhaps Hull's press was good but the number of times the ball started of well into Hull's half and ended up with Melier in the same move was numerous.

Hopefully a tonic for James - he took that opportunity with a deal of confidence.

A win is a win - not the greatest performance but they got across the line.

Did not enjoy that game at all, thought we would be fine after the early goal but we really struggled again.

Great to get the win.

I think Joseph deserves a start, Bamford clearly off it again. Hopefully Gruev back for the next game

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Tue Apr 02, 2024 8:13 am  

3rd game in 6 days for a lot of the players. hull didn't have that.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Tue Apr 02, 2024 9:46 am  

I do think we need to consider the number of minutes some of our players have had to play recently and when you take into account Kamara wasn`t well it is a miracle we have 4 points from 2 games.
Bamford has been off it for a few games now and even his hold up play has gone.
Piroe or Joseph should play on Saturday imo but I think Farke will stick with Bamford.
Gray to RB and Gruev back to midfield hopefully.
