    Is it though? Gnonto played the man. Not heavily, but he certainly caught him. Probably a technical foul, but Mundle should’ve stayed up as he had the ball

    All square after a pulsating 45 mins at one point we looked very shaky but have weathered the storm and could have retaken the lead, all to play for.

    That half flew over, really good battle, their press was superb for a period but we seem to have gotten a second wind, these are comfortably the best side we’ve played so far, gnonto is everywhere, could go either way this one

    Fair enough score at halftime. I'd say we've been slightly better, Jobe's had several good chances to score.

    Brilliant 1st 10 mins, decent last 5 mins, really poor in between that

    No idea why we went 541 out of possession, pleased they changed that quickly but no idea why they thought that was a good idea

    Need to get Roberts on the ball as he's causing them problems, Mundle not been great so far and just needs to move the ball quicker.

    Neil started to get on the ball more at the end of the half, Rigg has looked a bit lost at times (think Isidor lack of defensive positioning is dragging Rigg all over the place at times)

    Browne to cone on early in the 2nd half for me but I'd probably wouldn't make the change at HT

    Leeds are a very good side. A draw here is a good result.

    we looked so much better back in our 4-4-2 defensive shape at the end and I have no idea why RLB felt the need to change it. Overthinking and overcomplicating.

    I am encouraged however that he identified this and changed it.

    We look a lot crisper going forward than we have in recent weeks.

    could go either way this. A win would be tremendous but a draw would be a good result. Losing to Leeds won’t be the end of the world either. These aren’t the games that will stop us getting playoffs but the momentum of international break would be good

    Their goal was offside. Never a pen. We play better on the front foot.
    Cirkin is a rolls Royce.
    Jobe is class.

    Indifferent first half for me. Started brilliantly but Leeds came back strongly. Seems like we got ourselves sorted out after a while and looked threatening going forward again. That Tanaka is a dirty little bastard, how he didn't get booked got those 3 fouls in the first 5 mins is beyond me

    He’s offside!


    Missed the first half hour or so but he’s definitely off

    Wrestled the game back after they took the piss for 20 mins after the equaliser, much, much better last 10-15. All doing their jobs fairly well; I think a bit of Reggie genius needed. They're pretty good to be fair, very well set up.

    The goal is offside but I’m not that angry about it as it’s close. 1-1 is a fair half time score.

    We are bang in this.

    If Leeds are as good as pundits claim, then we are up there too.

    Some minor tweaks and we can wrestle back control. Defense and midfield line step up 5 mins. Piroe isnt going to run behind. Neil can split the centre back less. Wilson needs to be sharper as the wall pass. Same against Derby he has that wingers approach of wanting to turn and go at them. Better for him to secure it and build. Jobe wasnt great for 25 mins, but then seemed to grow. Not a great block at all for their goal, poor. They were offside though.

    Still a 50 50 game. Fancy us still. Whatever though we know we can go toe to toe

    Offside goal for them, a penalty denied for us.
