Gutting two punch blow with Hirst limping off and going a goal down. Clarke has not had a good first half at all.
Far too ropey at the back and with Hirst out, we’re lacking a figurehead up top. I’d be surprised if we get anything from this game.
Not the worst 45 minutes, but we’re struggling to create against the best team in this division. We’re too ropey at the back, with Clarke in particular guilty of several mistakes. The team and stadium sound and look quite subdued. I think that Leeds result is playing on a lot of people’s minds. Hopefully we get a lucky break and get an equaliser - something to get us going again - because we’re struggling against a Leicester team I fear haven’t really got out of second gear.
Yeah, I’d agree with that. Southampton have been relentless lately. I think Leeds have the better squad, but they seem unable to prise open some teams that choose to sit back against them.
