As expected Villa had most of the possession, but we have had a few good chances to get in on goal during breaks spoilt only by woeful final passes. Whilst it stays 1-1, we have a chance of nicking another as Vila defence seems their weakness.  

Bell has really regressed since the the first month of the season. Still gets into some good positions, but then either wants to take an extra touch and is closed down (like last night), or makes the wrong decision. When he came into the side he was an instinctive finisher and playing wide hit a lot of 1st time crosses, that ability seems to have been lost.

Mehmeti could yet develop into a good option, things almost happen when he plays, like his good movement to get the shot in last night which nearly beat the keeper. Note Wells had 2 similar chances in the first 10 mins and was simply not quick enough to threaten.

Manning’s record is starting to look pretty poor! At least under Pearson we gave the top sides a game….tonight it’s been Men versus boys! Mr Lansdown, that top 6 isn’t looking likely

Well Mannings record is now 4 wins in 15 league games, does anyone think Pearson would have not done better?

Sadly typical Bell a couple of mins ago, makes a good steal, gets into a great position to cross, but then takes another touch and is closed down.

Start the half with the same team and surprise, surprise....got exactly what we deserved. 

Exactly, LM has seen Leeds dominate the first half. We somehow get to HT 0-0, have the chance to change things and he sends them back out in exactly the same failing formation again... idiot!

We have to change something, our midfield is just being overrun. Perhaps TGH on for Tanner, to to a back 4 with McCrorie RB. Perhaps Mehmeti on the left to team up with Pring to give Leeds something to think about. 

Hi, bit of a long shot, but can anyone recommend a good, reputable, roofer for some pitched roof (not flat roof) work. 

I've tried MyBuilder, but only got 2 roofers to come out and quote. Found the firm offering the cheaper quote had some terrible reviews outside of MyBuilder, and the other one, sounds decent but is double the price. Ideally just want another quote, to make sure I'm not being ripped off.

Worried that so many matches over a short period will take its toll, we looked a bit leggy at times at Coventry, so with only a few days recovery when Leeds have had all week could be deceive

Why is the game on Friday night, is it on Sky?

Same keeper has gained up lots of points too…. No one complains when he makes a worldie

Yep, it was poor from Max BUT you also have to look at the woeful defending from their throw-in where we just seemed to switch off.

Rubbish delivery from Williams and the chance is gone.

So sloppy 2-2, poor from Max

WELLS !!!!   TC Assist

It saddens me but Sam bell seems to be a shadow of the player he was

Often we talk about the most improved players, Sam Bell is the opposite.

Come on Bell, gets worse and worse every game.

Good defender Tanner, keeping Simms from getting a header in.

Bell had a great chance to get a shot on goal, but as per usual he has to take an extra touch and is crowded out.

TC on for Mehmeti

FFS, really nice play by Mehmeti then gives it away with a poor pass, so frustrating

James & McCrorie on, Knight and TGH off.

Coventry ring the changes with 3 subs.

think Id be bringing McCrorie on for Mehmeti, and switch Sam to the left fairly sharpish if we don't fire in the first 10 minutes..

Better still take Mehmeti off for Nelson, and McCrorie for Bell.

Well worked, deserved equaliser that. Great cross by TGH.

and a decent corner from him just before, that's the thing he can deliver a good ball, but up until those last few mins every ball in from him had been cack!

good opportunity to break but poor ball from Bell.

Dickie 1-1...  a decent cross in for once from TGH.
