I’m exactly the same, tempted to turn over to the F1 buildup

Back to the end of the LJ days where I find myself spending more time scrolling through OTIB/my phone than actually watching the match.

Not sure how well McCrorie fits into LM’s style of play. Seems to run with his head down into cul-de-sacs a lot.

Don’t panic everyone we have two world beaters in Mehmeti and Mebude to change the game.

Just saw that on the replay, absolutely scummy behaviour trying to get his opposing manager sent off for what was a clear accident. Zero respect.

With all this talk recently for blue cards for cynical fouls, why are the refs not protecting the current system they have by booking players who commit them? Numerous times Saints players did this in the first half and the ref did not book them.

To be fair I think most were happy to see him go thinking we would persist with the 5 at the back and 2 in midfield which leaves him exposed. He is a monster in a midfield 3 like tonight and has many more good years in him if that is the way we want to go. I hope we do!

Great positioning Georgie

Got away with one there offside or no offside

You’re right - not enough assists!

Yep, I find it hard to point fingers at individual players tonight because the system clearly did not suit them or the match and it was insane to not try to change it.

The whole defence have because they were completely exposed for 90 minutes.

Leeds will be disappointed at this score line!

How bad is our crossing? It’s infuriating

It’s ludicrous really, we’ve been overrun in midfield for 85 minutes, and we are still persisting with the same system that clearly has not worked.

Hung out to dry to be honest in this tactical set up

We are so clearly outnumbered with that 2 in midfield. I can see what Manning is trying to do with implementing a playing style. But tactically sometimes he seems to just not make those tweaks until it is too late.

Max’s starting position for sweeping up is exceptional.

And he’s taking too many touches

Williams looking very off the pace so far

I think we wanted this player in the summer and this was how to get him. Derby were not going to let him go in Jan, and we still have James on the books until the end of the season. So this was the smartest way of doing it.

Don’t worry, Cornick is on now

Don’t get how they get that much space on the edge of the box when we are winning.

What a delivery that is TGH

Focus on the cup
