Bamford is just too slow to get on the ball and then buys a penalty from the keeper ( which he is justified to do) as he was never going to get a shot away.
But the point is that a striker with a bit of pace turns that pass into a one on one with the keeper and hopefully hits the back of the net.
On the KP red card there was a very similar tackle this time last year against forest. If you follow him on insta there was an almost identical apology issued last time he did it !history repeating
Ayling our best player imo!
The usual nice build up play.
Created enough chances to win the game.
We are still four points clear of 3rd place.
Only one more game to play in London.
Negatives
Yet another defeat in London.
Bamford's missed penalty & his other feeble efforts.
So many missed chances, can anyone shoot or head a ball consistently well in this Leeds team?
Not a goal scored by a Leeds player in our last four games since we banged in five at St Andrews.
Corner after corner which leads to nothing.
Final ball is poor on countless occasions.
Wells thought he was playing basketball, cheating b*****d.
Appalling referee & his officials yet again.
Not a clean sheet in eight games.
Our bench was a embarrassment, the opposition has nothing to fear from any of our substitutes.
Phillips dismissal was the last thing we needed, who the f**k replaces KP?
KP would have been my MOTM if not for his horrendous challenge
Another team we hate playing against up next

Set pieces in any form we are diabolical to the highest. They are a big part of the game but it's as though we don't do any training on them at all. Pablo hit the post yesterday but overall we don't seem to have a clue except to pump it into the box hoping one of our midgets can get on the end of it and even then direct towards the net but I suppose that's asking too much.
OK so spinning a small positive from Kalvin's red. He gets three games to recharge the batteries and set himself for the run in. We get a chance to look at a different approach/player...
The latter will probably be defeated by sticking Dallas or White there but giving McCalmont 3 games might be useful. Kid has a lot of talent.

Here lies another problem Bielsa causes ..due to him rotating the same dozen or so players we have very little experience beyond those already on the pitch, absolutely bizarre ! Bielsa is his own worst enemy .

Yes that has been one of my concerns over the last two seasons, only inkirynhas made the boss change the lineup and it denies integration, and match sharpness to the rest of the group.
Then they get dropped into a middle of a crisis and we expect the, to over perform.
Not brilliant.

It’s crazy how little game time some of the fringe players have gotten. I hope we get to see some of these guys a chance rather than disrupt other positions
