Yet Leeds aren't amazing, Norwich definitely move it quicker. It's too easy for Leeds so far though, not creating problems for them. There was one instance where we had in on the edge of their area and then we passed it back to our keeper under pressure. Need quickness and creativity on the pitch.
Well that was fkn crap, but chance to reset, this midfield isn't working, id be inclined to ring the changes here, get Tufan and Morton on, Twine, Slater, Connolly take ya pick who comes off.
City struggling to connect up with the attack, Twine isn't looking too comfortable. I can see Tufan replacing him in the 2nd half. Allsop has made couple of quality saves in the 1st.
It’s pretty tight to be honest, nowhere near as bad as is being made out. They’re breaking on us quickly but that was always going to be the case.
Well that was poor! I know twine was named in the starting 11 but did he actually come out the dressing room? We are so slow and pedestrian. Which in turn makes us so easy to play against. LR has got this wrong ( so far ) tonight. Well done Alsop for keeping it 0-0
Not the most entertaining affair so far, but we are not playing badly, Christie seems a bit of the pace, Greaves has been excellent as has Allsop so far. They are doubling up on Jaden, which is keeping him a bit quiet. Hoping our extra couple of days rest and fitness levels start to play a part in the 2nd half.
We started well but ended the half struggling a bit. Leeds can be as adventurous as they want because we just don't counter-attack at all. The direct ball was getting less and less effective as the game went on, I guess it just needs to come off once though but I would really like to see us mix things up a bit more. Coyle has done well at Left Back, I reckon he was told to make his first few passes with his left foot so he wouldn't be so easily read which was a pretty clever move if so.
We're not able to cope with their press, as such everything is going backwards, no guile to get past them, yet when they have it we're standing off them, and they're just passing it through us. Twine has been completely anonymous, Slater not much better chasing Shadows, we need to up our tempo and get it out wide, both Philoge e and Christie showed glimpses they can be got at out wide.
Ozan for Twine ( who had been ****e since he signed) Mortan for the overrated Slater (50 grand you know)
Fine, by all accounts. Need to be braver in the final third. Billy Jean has Ayling's number, just need to get the ball to him more often, I'd swap the wingers over. Leeds look exactly like you'd expect a team that has an expensive, quality squad to look, in fact if anything they've not been that impressive. Good in patches, but not brilliant. Tufan needs to be on in place of Twine, who still doesn't look like he was worth the effort we put into the pursuit over the Summer. Really want the lad to show what he can do, but he's had some tough opposition since he arrived and needs to get up and running. Connolly huffing and puffing but he needs balls to run onto and he isn't getting them. We're keeping the ball well, sometimes overplaying but mostly it looks good. Ref needs a good kick in the cock.
Delap has done as much as he can IMO, Connolly non existent, Coyle just losing the ball. Slater and Seri can’t get near them when they come forward
We have not taken advantage of the fact that Leeds haven’t had much time to recover. We had a good first few minutes and it looked promising. Since then, the football has managed to silence the crowd. We look like we’re playing for the draw, which is disappointing to say the least.
