Wonder if anyone keeps tabs of the individual errors leading to goals stats.

Could be on for an all time EFL record if so.
 
This is really not good enough if Middlesbrough are on top of us in their current form.

This could easily end up becoming a 5+ game losing streak and with our aims we shouldn’t be losing many more than that all season…

Yeah. I struggle to see how Leeds' attack won't get bundles of joy next weekend, which makes today really important.
 
It’s good that the team finally has a shape but we are still too fragile at the back and I think part of the problem is that midfielders are not committing to following the Boro runs all the way, leaving the defence to pick them up leading to the scrambles we are seeing.
Need more creativity up front too

We are going to have to be patient here. The issue is not the mistakes it is that the system is not producing anything. We just don’t look like a team and our two cms have no physicality. If we ever lose Shea the season will be dead in the water.
 
Watching that, bit harsh to put that on Holgate, God knows why they played it to him, that should have been row z, all other players slow to react and Baz beaten at the near post - poor all round - not putting that on Holgate too much

Na I don’t agree there, he had acres of space and loads of time, he should also have been aware enough to know where the nearest Middlesbrough player was.

Harwood-Bellis shouldn’t have to worry about passing to Holgate in that position, he should be able to trust a fellow professional not to cock up from there.
 
We just get caught on the ball so much. I know Holgate gets the headlines but Shea Charles was at fault (again) for their almost-goal.
 
We are just a piss poor team.

Was genuinely hoping I was wrong when I said we would be mid table in the champ but tbh even that is looking a stretch. This team is simply poor even at championship level.
No, it's the management and tactics. These players are more than good enough to compete at the top of this league.
 
I think these players are good enough but they aren’t old enough, experienced enough or vocal enough. We are desperate for a leader. I actually think losing Stephens has ****ed our season.
