    Even though I suggested the same, I could be tempted with Mayenda. Have his starting position wide right to keep the shape and have him come in from the right

    I still think ba has something about him when I watch him, struggling tonight so far badly. Sometimes I think he over complicates things, just use your pace and run outside sometimes.

    pritch deliveries on point tonight

    The lads are doing really well and these tactics which are incredibly brave are so far keeping them at bay

    I agree. These are one of the best teams I have seen in this league and could rip us apart at any minute.

    Leeds look like they haven't got out of first gear yet. Don't know if it's their game plan

    I'm impressed with the tactics and the execution. Leeds attack isn't something to be taken lightly but we've nearly scored ourselves several times.

    we aren’t letting them play. Pritchard sitting on or blocking the path to Ampadu is huge for their game plan. Everything goes thru him

    They haven’t had a chance. One thing I like is that Dodds has totally changed the team based on the opponent. When did Mogga do that?

    He knows Leeds are arguably the best team in the league and definitely the in form team. 5 at the back, Ba instead of Roberts because PR is a bit lazy and can’t defend. Pritchard buzzing around not doing much but there for when we counter.

    Wish Clarke would pass the ball now and again

    Think Pritchard is doing his job well as they all are but what I think Pritchard does bring to the side is that he's directing the players around him

    We're actually defending well as a group so far. Seelt seems to read the game well and is a set piece threat.

    Clarke is having a day! He's got the beating of his full back every time, he really looks up for it.

    Dan Neil excellent off the ball, hut only touched it a couple of times. Would like to see a bit more play go through him

    I think Seelt looks quality. Looks really good defensively but good on the ball and a threat from set pieces. Can’t see it being long before he’s a regular.

    That's the difference between being a top Championship player and a good PL player. He should be dragging two men all over the place and making space for others.
