    Fair play really.

    I thought Leeds played well today. Bamba and Byram were brilliant and Dallas was unlucky not to score.

    Antenucci obviously came on and did really well, I thought Wood was poor but it's early days.

    Once Dallas ,Wood and Adeyemi get fit we will buzz I thought that Wod ran the line well but lacked match fitness especially with his shooting boots but overall we deserved to win and that goal should have won it for me .I do LIKE Dallas

    Wood was not match fit wait till he is Leeds to judge him he worked his socks off of the oppostion I thought that Darikwa was outstanding and his cross gave them a goal

    Pretty solid performance.
    Weakness lies in Bellusci and Berardi, Bellusci in particular is a liability when he tries to 'play' ...should stick to being a stopper. Berardi & Bellusci combined offer a route down the right side of the pitch for the opposition negating offensive capability of Burma and Cook on that flank.
    Wood needs a partner who will do the dirty work for him ( was good at Millwall when paired with Harry Kane )

    I personally though Bellusci was brilliant, apart from his hand ball

    And his failure to challenge vokes for their goal. But the left back should have got a fecking tackle in instead of watching the cross go n.

    Supply to wood was not good,all crosses over hit,
    Dallas very good,would like to see him come inside more,
    Bamba was amazing,gets his head on everything,
    I was pleasd with the way we played,but we could come unstuck against a hoofball team,
    All in all a good day we played well and got a draw,felt like a loss,but
    Oh and england won the ashes.

    It's early days yet, other players will make mistakes too, but I do agree with Taylor should've got the tackle in, actually we had 2 players on the winger and both let him pass to Darikwa.

    I agree Bellusci should've jumped too, flat footed maybe, smothered by Vokes? but you can draw your own conclusions from the link below.

    Highlights below that will tell a better story.



    For those who couldn't get too, or watch the match, here's the first and second half links.

    I think it was a good game to watch, we dominated second half for me.

    I thought the link up play between Cook, Mowatt and Byram was absolutely superb. I genuinely think Cook is such a good footballer, incredible to have and he will make the step-up. So involved and such a calming influence on the ball in the middle of the park, always taking pressure off.

    Dallas had a good game, very involved and unlucky not to have a goal. Seemed to just tire for about 5-10 mins before taking him off so agreed with the sub. Apparently he hasn't had many minutes at Brentford in the pre-season according to Rosler.

    I thought Wood worked hard, showed good control at times but it wasn't really working for him all the time. He still showed good signs of quality in parts and I think we didn't really support him enough especially first half. Burnley are very good opposition as well so that has to be taken into account.

    Thought central pair of Bamba and Bellusci were very good, especially Bamba, he just seems to be a magnet for the ball. He wins everything. Bellusci could've done alot better for the goal, had a couple of lapses before that also. Overall happy with his performance but we need better competition for that place. Cooper isn't as good as Bellusci in anyway other than in the air. Berardi was solid as well. I thought Taylor was probably our weakest player actually, didn't play badly but again reinforces my opinion we need to sign a left back for some competition and cover there.

    Enjoyable game overall and disappointed not to have had the 3 points.

    Byram isn't a number 10 so god knows why we played him as one.
    I think he had his most ineffective game in ages for us.
    There were vast periods of the second half when he looked completely lost.

    Got to wonder if he is still leaving and we were only testing everyone else in their new positions,

    Next time buy a ticket.
    Someone as clever as you must have made enough money to afford pensioner rate.

    And I had already made the belusci comment about not jumping... Please stop stealing my ideas and passing them off as your own. <doh>

    I don't usually read the rubbish you write binman and don't tell me what to do !I have my own ways of sorting out good deeds Finally no wonder you didn't do anything at school I didn't say Belusci didn't jump I said he allowed Volkes to get goal side of him nowhere do I mention JUMP

    Bellusci was goal side of Vokes though. He didn't jump which was the problem.
