    Giving them too much space and time. Leeds midfield unorganised.

    I'm feeling much less confident about my "Leeds to win by 2+ goals" prediction

    Always crap midweek and only 50% of the time at weekends <ok>

    All the players we are buying or linked with apart from Agard would suggest the diamond is here to stay, Cellino needs to realise it doesn't work for us and at this level.

    Positives:

    It's only 1 -0
    Hock will have the perfect instruction video on how to set up a passing team to overrun a poorly organised narrow side to base the rest of the season on

    How can we improve enough 2nd half to beat or even get a point against these?

    Just looked at the stats, 30% possession zero shots on target, can't believe we are only 1-0 down with what I have been reading :(

    Let me throw this out there ... do the players trust Hock? I mean, playing 2 up front with a diamond is a bit silly as the only way to get the ball into the box is by trying to play through the middle ... our FBs can't push up on the overlap as there's no cover, so bye bye crosses ... also, having Norris on the bench seems thick skinned yet again when there are better options available ... we have no out ball when under pressure because we have no width so easy to close down

    Ajose on, Smith off.

    Hmmmm, not the change I'd have gone with. Will have to wait and see if the formation is the same

    Actually sounds like Bianchi is pushed wide right, 4-3-3. Better, and good to see a reactionary change, if not a little late

    Doesn't Cellino decide on formation?

    oh FFS ... so now Ajose on to put in crosses to the smallest striker in the league ... Bianchi wasted out wide ... Brighton simply won't feel threatened at all with this set up, we need them to switch off to have a chance, all I can see is lots of huff and puff and then hope for the best ... "I can't ask for more, the lads worked their socks off and sweated for the shirt and the fans will be happy with that", said Hock after Brighton walked away with the three points after a 5-0 win at Elland Road ... "It's the damn Tuesday nights and hopefully the President can get us to play in the afternoon instead", said Junior ... but no fear, the lads ran themselves into the ground
