    Obviously not watching but Mara sounds a handful.

    Mara and Adams should be our Front two from now on, Unless we bring in a striker.

    Djeneppo coming off. Sounds like he's had a decent game.

    Bazunu, Lavia, Mara, Ketchup and Aribo look like they might not be terrible signings. Small sample size of minutes played but certainly grounds for optimism.

    Over the summer he seems to have developed the ability to produce end-product rather than just fancy moves.

    FT. Good point given the circumstance and important to be up and running with something on the board.

    Certainly doesn't mean the corner has been turned but good to see us show some fight and also shows the players are still playing for Ralph at least.

    Back 4 next week though please Ralph. Leicester there for the taking and no reason why we shouldn't aim to win there.

    Off to the pub. UTFS.

    I had a couple of quid on KWP to score at any time. I thought 20/1 was worth a shout but I didn't really expect it.

    4 at the back...

    Who'd have thought it

    2-2 FT

    Excellent game of football but four at the back from now on, please.

    If we take from today that 4 at the back if preferable and that Aribo starts next game I will be content.

    Feels like such a positive outcome in the end.

    The summer signings were all quite good. So much more initiative shown in the final 30 minutes, balls played in behind, actual runs with intent. Granted, part of that owed to Leeds tiring, but I'd much rather we don't go back to the 5-3-2.

    Pretty much yes. There is potential in this team dare I say.

    If Ralph ditches 5 at the back, today will always be worth it.

    We looked so much better after the change in shape.

    Good point. Team and club still making progress. Not at all unhappy with that. New signings look good, I have faith in our recruitment based on what we’ve seen so far. Moussa looks so much more confident playing wide and running forward into space instead of being a 10 who cannot function in half/central spaces.
