An improved performance on QPR and at least some signs of the style we are headed for under LM as a minimum. If that ends in a draw, I'd probably be content. Anything more would be impressive.

Clearly using the Holden method. Long intensive search, only to give it to the assistant.

Absolutely gutting. Such a talented young lad. Seems worse than even Christian Ribeiro. Just hope he can still get a career out of the game he must love.

And the computer used was the one on Chock-A-Block and programmed by Fred Harris...

May as well add pillars to the dug outs to match.

Full 90 for Sykes, again didn't look like he took any knocks so should be availble for Sat. 2 poor looking sides though, was a tough watch!

Knight off on 53 mins didn't look like he'd taken a knock, just giving someone else mins.

Pressed well there to get the assist.

What a ******* joke.

He got himself in a good position from the break and the opposition defender didn't even look over his shoulder, hence the opportunity coming for him. One for the family album, well done Sam.

Assists a last min winner with England down to 10. Missed the ball with a good chance presented but kept his cool and found an England player in the box for the goal.

Yeh not quite France v Gibraltar was it!

And his Mrs' nose fell apart, which if your trying to snort jacket spuds everyday, makes perfect sense.

Good read. I liked this... 'The common thread here is the slow death of the midfield specialist. These days your midfield – whether individually or in the aggregate – needs to be able to dribble out of a high press, to pick a forward pass through traffic, to cover for the full-back, to provide a late-running goal threat, to be as elusive and unpredictable as possible. In short, the days of simply sticking Rice and Henderson in front of a back four and hoping for the best are probably over.' Alex Scott popped straight into my head. And this... 'The new Italy coach, Luciano Spalletti, has said the role of the classic regista – think Andrea Pirlo or Jorginho – needs rethinking in a more intense and physical sport.' They used to say things like Pirlo played in his pipe and slippers such was the ease of his performance. Brilliant player, so incredible to think that his style wouldn't fit with some of the elite teams of today. He only retired 5 or 6 years ago. And this is a great line... 'forged in the furnace of the rondo'

Cant see anything on the OS about his call up. Is it him? Going back to pre season i think it was, wasn't there another youngster who looked quite a bit like TC? Anyway, if he is playing the Belgium v Scot 21s is on the Scottish FA's YouTube tonight as an alternative to the England goal fest v Malta. KO 7pm so could at least get the first half in.

That's about £2 a game for Leeds supporters.

Subbed on 60 mins. From what i've heard (was making and having dinner at the time) it's not a particularly great performance by England. Sam involved in bits and pieces but i didn't catch any stand out moments.

I tuned in, first thing i heard was "that was really good play by Sam Bell". Strange there is no way to watch it though.

Just realised we have 2 threads on this, merge away!

I think the midfield will get an overhaul in the summer. I'd like TGH to be a part of that, perhaps replacing James as the opportunity presents itself, likewise with Williams.

I missed the seagull but spot on.

Hoping LM gets more out of that performance than i did watching it. Better once the subs were made but overall a real stinker of a game.

Hope Mehmeti repays back the managers faith in him. As far as we know he's done nothing to warrant a starting place lately. Still, it's a fresh start for all and he has the potential to be a matchwinner for us, so good luck to him today.

You'll need a VPN and connect from say Germany or France, then when you log in you should see the pass for todays game. This one works fine, never let me down yet.

Leeds 3 times in 6 days is just taking the piss.
