Another good performance by the lads, and that starting line up, bit slow to get off the blocks but we picked up speed to have Villa on back foot for a lot of the game. Had Sacko took a first time shot instead taking another touch and we could've, and should've won. In all honesty, I think Monk's found his starting line up to push us on in second half of season. Villa aren't PNE, but it was another good, and exciting performance by the lads, although I'd be starting Hernandez, we need his skill and experience from word go. I'd have to agree with Boggers, it was a harsh penalty decision. By all accounts, this line up should murder Rotherham.
Shows how far we have come in 12 months, a draw away to Villa who are unbeaten at home this season feels like a defeat. Our last two games of the year away to very tricky teams who are good at home and we get 4 points, the last two games and the manner in which we played them has shown we are genuine promotion contenders. Happy New Year here we come....
Roofe, Dallas, Cooper - They won't start next game Front line will be Doukara, Hernandez, Sacko and Wood up front.
Cooper I can understand if Bartley is fit, but personally I'd keep the same line up but bring in Hernandez and see how we go to halftime, chopping and changing can upset the momentum we're on at moment.......we're doing a lot more in front of goal rather than rely on crosses from wings.......
Fantastic performance from the whole team plus subs. Made me proud to be Leeds. Excellent passing and movement second half. Ok if Bartley was playing we probably would have won but you can't play the same eleven every game. Also we are a bit unlucky as it was a PL ref and assistants tonight and we would have probably got away with the penalty with the usual dross that officiates in the championship.
