    Him Arblaster n Souza should always be their starting 3 central players, big fan of all 3 - best CM combo in the league imo

    Hamer is just levels above other CMs in this league

    Sheff utd suit a back 3 more than a back 4, really brings the best out of all their players

    Leeds player rolls over three times to get back onto the pitch ffs <doh>

    The referee needs to show some balls and book him.

    It’s so tight with very few risks being taken

    I've enjoyed watching how little Moore does off the ball ...

    ... RLB wouldn't want him imo.

    Top 2 teams in the league? We've played Leeds and matched them at times, Sheff Utd seem more structured positionally but watching them now, I don't think "**** don't fancy facing them"

    Can't say they're not good teams but I think we can match them plus we've already beaten Burnley!

    Fair enough. It’s still very early days. If we finish above either of these - we’ll be winning promotion. IMO

    Such a high level game this, especially by Leeds. Followed a similar pattern to our game vs Leeds where Sheff Utd started on top but as soon as Leeds got to grips with the opposition system they began to dominate. From minute 10 to 45 I don't think Sheff Utd had a serious attack or even a spell of possession.

    The positions Gnonto and Ramazani are picking up are impossible for Sheff Utd to deal with within their system. Tanaka is a serious player at the base of midfield. I don't think Piroe suits this side at all, wouldn't be surprised to see Jospeh on quite early and I think Leeds will go big on a striker in January.

    Still think Leeds will win, their dominance will turn into goals.

    In 1 off games we can match any team in the league, it's just going to be can we do it over a full season

    We have so far made the fewest subs in the league and we haven't really changed the starting line up much - that could come back to haunt us as the season goes on

    I didn’t know that but it doesn’t come as a surprise. RLB hasn’t impressed me with his timing/choice/lack of subs in a few games already.

    Yep not making subs can bite us in the arse but is that down to the way the team is playing or RLB not trusting the subs in the bench? I suppose we'll find out further down the line

    Yeh for my money these are the best two sides in the league. We could beat either of them on our day but if we played both 100 times each we’d lose more than we win.
