We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s Premier League game between Leeds and Brentford.
Here are some of your comments:
Leeds fans
Paul: Leeds played as if they are frightened of losing rather than trying to win. They looked a different side after the late changes. Be brave!
Andrew: A good point against a team in form competing for a top-six place. However, being draw specialists might not be enough. We need to find our mojo again. We aren’t playing with the dynamic we are capable of and not creating enough chances as a result.
Chris: Good point in the end – they are a good side pushing for a European place and have good players. The teams cancelled each other out on the day. Poor game for both set of fans.
David: A hard-fought point against a well-organised and dangerous top-eight side. Going into the international break outside the bottom three is good and takes the pressure off. Hopefully in the final run-in we will see more of Daniel James, Wilfried Gnonto and Noah Okafor, especially in the home games, to create more goals and keep us in the Premier League.
Brentford fans
Zachary: Felt we set up for a draw. While fans don’t want to see that, it is probably a good point considering how thin our squad is right now, particularly at right-back and in midfield. I do also think fatigue is getting to the players, with Ethan Pinnock and Keane Lewis-Potter cramping up near the end. That’s concerning with a very limited selection of first-team players on the bench. Can’t fault the lads for effort, though.
Jane: It wasn’t a great watch. A missed opportunity? Yes, but at this stage of the season it’s tough for teams with fewer resources as the injuries hit, and the bench features very few players who can change a game. It’s going to be tough for the Bees to stay in seventh.
Gavin: A masterclass in defending against a decent opposition who were trying hard to win the game. With the additional injuries to Mikkel Damsgaard and Kristoffer Ajer, I wasn’t surprised by the shape, and great to see Pinnock not putting a foot wrong. It’s definitely a point gained, in previous seasons with the injury woes they would have lost this game. With the remaining away games against Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool on the last day, three defeats is not unlikely. However, who knows with this team under Keith Andrews.
Ian: A well-deserved point. The closing down of space by the Brentford team was immense. Time for a recharge of the ‘league’ batteries for the final seven games.
