Bad day at the office, it was always going to happen at some point. We lost because we didn't turn up. Learn and move on.

16 Sep 2017 20:29:58
Well not the result I was hoping for but hopefully that will be a wakeup call for lufc they wanted it more and were going to face teams like that we need to put it behind us and get ready for next game because need to make ER a fortress and and win our home games an try are best to nick as many points as we can away from home of course teams are going to beat us but IMO we were shocking today we got bullied. The new boys have to be preperd to show some grit and get stuck in. but I'm sure T. C will have told them I would like us to play 4.4.2 against teams like that and play more direct with the two big lads lasogga and grot up front because teams like that won't allow us to play nice football. Anyway onwards and upwards still a long long way to go #MOT. #ALAW. ⚽😆⚽😆⚽

Have we been rumbled already? Two teams have played two closely packed lines of four in their own half and I think we have managed two chances overall. Millwall won and Preston could have won even with 10 men. We are fine when there is space and the opposition are not too physical we haven't learnt yet how to deal with that type of approach. It may be in that type of game Hernandez, O'Kane and Phillips are not a strong enough combination. It must be beatable or Preston and Millwall will be topping the league which I don't think will, Playing like you are the away team when you play Leeds seems to work at the moment. Looking forward to see how TC adapts.

16 Sep 2017 21:29:12
It's a learning curve, all round. TC, the new players, need to adapt to this league, which is honestly the most open and challenging league in the uk. Hopefully, they adapt, learn and grow.

17 Sep 2017 12:31:42
We are top of the table people! stop moaning over 1 game! MOT.

16 Sep 2017 18:33:33
Well, well, closed down not able to move the ball and when we did then it was poor. Really pleased we are still top and can learn from this experience, earlier rather than later in the season. Millwall had our pants down and I think that it will make us better and stronger for the future, both in our selection for the starting 11 and tactically. We will have to continue to dig deep - it's a tough league. MOT 👍

Nobody walks this league it's incredibly tough and there will be days like this. we need to regroup, take our medicine, learn quickly and come back strongly when it does happen. Plus, being top makes a team even more of a target and opposition will play their hearts out to knock you down a peg. Buckle up, this season will NOT be the cakewalk some people hoped it might be.

16 Sep 2017 19:39:38
Said we have a plan b?

16 Sep 2017 17:31:32
Out played 25 shots to our 2 no plan B. Still at least our keeper did well, TC needs to get the squad back in tomorrow and spend the night looking at why this went wrong. Back did well to keep the score down but others need to show up. Put this one down to an off day would have much happier if it had happen in the cup game still let regroup and march on again.

16 Sep 2017 17:12:01
well the only consolation today is results went for us and we are still top due to our superior GD! We got absolutely battered today! showed them too much respect IMO no midfield battle! tells its own story when TC yanked alioski and hernandes off at half time, we don't seem to be able to mix it when teams come at us physically, there is a weakness other teams will look to exploit for sure! Disapointing

16 Sep 2017 16:58:49
Oh dear! just a blip I hope!

16 Sep 2017 16:54:24
25 shots to 1? Any ideas? Scared?

16 Sep 2017 16:57:32
sounds like we were lucky to get 0.

16 Sep 2017 17:00:47
Well, looking at what I and some of you guys on here were saying, we might just have received a wake up call. Bit of a burger, but in context, all still cool. Don't panick Mr Mainwaring.

16 Sep 2017 17:40:22
Today's game always had the chance of panning out the way it did. Us being top of the league and unbeaten was all Harris needed for his teamtalk. Fair play to them, others will also come away from the new den on the wrong end of a result. Let's not get too disheartened, hate seeing us lose as much as the next Leeds fan. Hopefully TC and the new lads have learnt something from today's game. Still top, still moving forward. MOT.

16 Sep 2017 15:49:44
Paid my $10 and nothing. No audio or live game🙁🙁😥 12 shots to 1. At jalf time?

16 Sep 2017 15:59:40
We ain't got going yet, plan b, due Dallas or Roofe to come on and nick one!

16 Sep 2017 16:02:07
BBC say that they have been all over us first half. They had disallowed goal etc. A bit of a worry.

16 Sep 2017 16:05:44
Hope we can soak up the pressure and hit them on the break. Always going to be a hard match.

16 Sep 2017 16:36:43
The stats suggest we are getting battered. 😩

16 Sep 2017 14:07:22
Hey guys, i'm going 3-1 also with some of you on here lassoga, roofe and saiz come on you whites! MOT

16 Sep 2017 14:58:00
Im thinking dig in deep like dallas and roofe rather then alo and lassie to start

16 Sep 2017 07:22:42
Big game today lads we have only won once in our last 8 visits. to the DEN. but I'm going for a win today 3-1 don't think they will beable to cope with our attacking play. whats. your score predictions for today. ? ⚽#MOT #ALAW⚽👍😆⚽⚽⚽⚽👍👍

16 Sep 2017 08:50:22
I've already nailed my colours to the mast, 2-1 away win although it will be tough in their cup final. Good news is Lassie is playing as his missus hasn't had her baby yet. She's obviously a Leeds fan and will wait until after this game any give birth soon after today so the lad can go back and spend time with his family before the Burnley game. Best scenario for us as I wouldn't expect him to play in that one. MM

16 Sep 2017 09:09:29
With the way we have been playing I cannot see us conceding today, 2-0 for me Lassogga and Saiz. MOT

16 Sep 2017 09:56:53
It's a tough call although I see our unbeaten streak ending I don't think it's today it's not like we've been lucky we've only conceded 2 and I don't see milwall scoring

16 Sep 2017 10:40:05
Millwall have scored 4 against Norwich and 3 against Ipswich, so combined with the atmosphere, a real test for our defensive record. I'm going with explosive game, lots of yellow cards, at least one Millwall red, us winning 3-2! Probably be a boring 0-0. This could be a good game for one team winning at half time the other at full, 33-1!

16 Sep 2017 10:53:59
Torn between 5-0 us and 0-0. ?

16 Sep 2017 11:09:27
I think this will be our toughest test today, we do seem to play well away especially when we play against a team willing not to just sit back but attack. With the history of our past visit's to Millwall being not a happy hunting ground Iam erring on the cautious and a narrow 2-1 win for us, but saying that we seem to be proving the history books wrong so far this season, long may that continue. MOT.

16 Sep 2017 11:28:56
Whilst they have often bettered us in the past, this team is not our usual. We effectively have a blank slate and a new team which is very difficult to anticipate. Worried about how many Millwall scored against Norwich and Ipswich, but I have faith in TC. He said in YP that he knows a lot about how Millwall play and to date i think we all agree that he has not mismeasured a game. On the basis of mindless optimism, i am going to go for 3-1 to us. They might win outside the ground like. They're pretty good at that at home.
