I'd only make one change in that team v Wigan.
Began in goal....

Re: What does that game tell us?

That if we get players in the box then we can score goals, some great movement from Harris and ojo for the goals, but more importantly, we had other players in the same positions, which pulled Leeds out a bit.

Second half we didn't compete, allowed them possession, or maybe couldn't sustain the discipline and shape of the first half. Probably should have been 4-2 to Leeds.

First half though, encouraging.

Centre of midfield we looked much improved…until Ralls and Wintle came on

Personally I’d think about dropping both for the next couple of games.

Sawyers did enough to get himself back on the bench. Fair play to him for not sulking

Just managed to bring myself to watch the highlights. They showed me that defensively we were bad for both their goals. Both could have been easily defended which makes throwing away the two goal lead more frustrating.

Would have taken 2-2 before the game of course.

Some harsh comments on here. They brought on a 30m striker ffs and the guy on left wing 2nd half was lightning quick, Sang couldnt deal with him, he was just too good.

Yeah Rodrigo is quality. I think it’s more disappointing that we didn’t quite have the legs to get over the line. Proud of the players though without a doubt. First time I stayed and applauded them off for a few games.

The problem with both Ralls and Wintle is they have a tendency to slow play down.

We needed to slow the game down yesterday and get hold of the ball. Ralls played 4 minutes as well, and we were getting absolutely battered by this point so it is a complete nonsense it is their fault. Ralls won that free kick late on deep in their half. Was about the only positive thing we did for the last 15 mins.

Gnonto has 8 caps for Italy. So quick.

I thought the players run themselves into the ground, couldnt fault the effort and it was cruel on them to concede so late even though it had been coming. To read comments like "spineless" and "gutless" is incredibly harsh.

Mental quick. We could have done with getting Sang some help over there but we were down to 10 men and to be fair to Leeds they used the extra man well.

We did switch off at the corner (Which I dont think was a corner) for their first but it was a very clever run.

You're talking about a particular period of a specific game, whereas
I'm generalising.

That we have to pray Davies stays fit and Hudson is clever enough to pick him.

Re: What does that game tell us?

It tells me that Leeds were hopeless, for a PL team they should have ran the show. No wonder they are at the wrong end of the table.

Re: What does that game tell us?

I think that game tells us how we have been mismanaged as a club in recent seasons.

Take our recent record against Leeds. We have gone from having the measure of them, to suddenly looking light years behind them… all within the relative short timespan of a couple of seasons.

As many people have mentioned in loads of other threads, it seems like the owners of our football club have messed up a massive opportunity to build on recent promotions to the Premier League and all the income that was generated.
