We had no shots whatsoever at goal ? The nearest we got was a header wide by Bernard ! If we can somehow still sell Windass I suggest we do it !

Bannan and Windarse wandered around leaving Ingellsson to apply the press by himself which naturally failed. Should have let both of these go.

Musaba continually passed the ball to opposition players, as he did against Sunderland. His crosses were also worthless. This guy is not worth the one game in five he shows up for. Iorfa was suspect at times, as always.

We can say Leeds have a 120M squad and that 80M in parachute payments helps.
However, newly promoted Portsmouth put 3 past them and we barely even create a shot on target at home!
Something is definitely wrong as that performance was a carbon copy of the Sunderland performance, back to back.
We never looked a threat. I said Windarse and Musaba should have been dropped after Sunderland and that reinforced it. I hope we can find a DM and get Chalobah fit.

Nice of the ref, allowing all the simulation from Leeds to go unpunished and infact rewarded them for it. Gnonto should have been booked for diving in the penalty area then a red for the foul on Ingellsson. Booking iorfa for a legitimate challenge was a disgrace and ignoring Bogles handball pass back as he tried to disguise it by falling.
Continual soft fouls to break up our attack. We've seen it before. Others on social media saw this too.
Another season of EFL stoogery on the cards to contend with also.

I enjoyed irofas effort today he for the first time In a long time stood up to be counted and tried to show Bannan and Windass what they should have been doing ! Bannan like Windass will win us games against the worser teams in this league Plymouth obviously one of these but I'm still not sure who the others will be yet ? But they will get both cancelled out pretty quickly in games against the better teams so DR needs to think about starting with a plan B from kick off in the future and not just going along with the easy option !
Problem at the minute is this stupid effing cup competition as he will.play fringe players that he knows very well.will.not be fit enough to start in the league game even if they do have blinders ! It's going to be more of the same at Millwall I'm afraid and if Wednesday form and history is anything to go by then we won't be taking a back to back win there this time ! A point maybe the best we can ask for and stop the rot !!!

Iorfa wasn't terrible last night. Lowe and Valery looked worse. There's so many silly mistakes.
These players do not look comfortable playing out from the back.
As soon as pressure is applied the way Sunderland and Leeds pressed, they just fold too often.
The players need to work for each other more because it isn't just our passing that's poor it's our movement off the ball. There's no runners creating any sort of overload situation. Players walking about (Windarse and Bannan)
Lowe really pissed me off with that run against James for the second goal. You can't give up like that.

Ingellsson has consistently looked decent over 3 games. Nobody else can claim that. He needs players alongside him with a similar work ethic and the ball might stick in midfield.

Just got around to listening to Rohls post match interview..

He's definitely disappointed with the players. He doesn't name anybody but you know exactly who he's talking about when he says you can't have one applying the press and others don't move to stay compact. The failure to close down open players which allowed Leeds to move the ball freely and with ease.

Not been impressed with Valera and Lowe since the first game ..but they are full backs and full backs in today's game are asked to do basically everything ..they are average at best and possibly mud table full backs or lower ..because they are not top half ones !

Sunderland 1 up v Burnley
Norwich 1-1 Blunts
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Joint 10th in 16th position. GD is already becoming a problem ...ugbo over Lowe everyday of the week. And can we please sell smith and give McCain his place on the bench .

Pato smith cadz still to be decided this coming week in the transfer window ...and seriously let's sell Windass now and get some money I've seen enough of him ! He's not going to work in the system DR wants !

Other news smelly bottom gets Preston there first points I think they will be midtable now ...putting more pressure on us and other teams !

Plymouth and Millwall look the most vulnerable at the moment but Millwall score goals so we know what's coming here !

Windarse shoulve been let go when he initially refused the contract..
He then thought he'd get more elsewhere didn't.. and realised he better take our offer of first team football and more money.

He needs to be dropped against Millwall, as does Musaba. You can't justify starting after performances like that. Musaba might have speed and trickery but he's dogshit at passing and making the right decision.
