just wondered with ability to defend and cover that he could preform well in there with Smith.

Is Joey Bryan still unfit, or is he genuinely behind Williams at the moment? cheers

It best be potd as there's a few of us going up without tickets! Not as if there will be any more than 400 of us is it.

Leeds stats prove just how clinical this league is. Great spirit by the team tonight, 96th minute equaliser says a lot.

Chuffed to see Reid get an assist and City to get our first point.

This formation worked brilliantly last season, teams still created chances against us, however the teams we played against us didn't have the clinical players to do us any damage, we desperately need a change of plan. This pre season has really been a huge load of bollox.

I don't know how Adam Baker has a job in any form of media, he may actually be made out of wood.

Agreed, but I think the blame lies with getting caught 4-1 at conceding, if he doesn't go to ground he scores or at least creates an opportunity to, the bloke dived, not every player does, you can't stop your natural game because a player may dive, no one would ever make a tackle.

Agreed but let's find a scapegoat quick.

Caught on the break 4-1, blatant dive and its Hamers fault, yep only on Otib.

Been saying since last year, you can't play that way in the championship!

I'd have gone the half hour on the train to Elland Road for the playback if I'd know, ffs!

Let's hope our attention now moves onto that defender and midfielder we are so, so missing. Of course I'd take Gayle too, but it seems the priority lies in the above positions.

Korey petal, Korey, that hard to work out!

Read my reply to the other pedantics on my ill written match stream post.

Think we should have taken one of the front two off after Luke's dismissal and let Robinson play where Freeman was. Robinson can and will replace Freeman, it's the lack of protection from the midfield that worries me, Korey (sorry pedantic toss bags) needs quality to partner him, him and Wade were superb together. Is Barton still free?

Best place to be in that place.

Uhh hum, how many have we conceded?

Id go one up top now and bring Robinson on, sounds like an exciting game.

Bench is still a huge worry, apart from Little, Burns and Robinson, shows how much we need a quality midfielder and CB.

I've never read it, the start that is. I like the idea of people doing what they want on a forum, so if someone gets in there first then so be it. I presuming that being based in Cuba(?), you don't get to many games (I may be of the mark, apologies if I am). If that's so then I'd like so,some who's at the game to start the thread, specially away games, so I can add my 2pence worth. All that said, I'm sure you do a great job, so I guess my answer would be number 3, Do not care.

Not to mention an extra foot in height! (Ok slight exaggeration)

It's never good to lose, winning breeds winners, losing breeds losers. It's a great time to try and restore confidence and rebuild some momentum, we should be able to beat lower league opposition with the likes of Reid and Burns on the field. I'd put Robinson into Fremans position, start Reid for Pack and get Wes upfront with Kodjia who needs as much experience as possible. That's a hell of a lot of pace and I think Wes' confidence will be sky high, Bobby has had a good pre season and deserves a game, Robinson has one of the quickest footballing brains I've seen at his age, his incisive passing may give Kodjia ammunition to kick off his English goal scoring account. I'd also love to see a BIG keeper signed ASAP, not knocking Frankie but yesterday wasn't the first time his lack of height has been exposed.

Well having spent a decent time in both your are completely wrong IMHO. Leeds is a fantastic city, beautiful architecture attractive parks, burgeoning arts and creative scene, established media centre and fantastic retail projects, the only city after Bristol that I'd even contemplate living in.

Couldn't agree more, I also think there's a couple who may struggle and i hope I'm wrong, one things for sure though: If we dont get proper competition for their places then things will get a lot tougher, this league is a very different animal to league one. Still, a bad start but plenty of time to do well.
