    I must admit I didn't think Mundle did much. I thought they doubled up on him and Gnonto seemed to cut him off everytime he tried to cut inside. He didn't go outside often enough. But he's direct and fast as hell, he's always going to be a threat in any game and I'm thrilled with how he's stepped up.

    To be fair his reactions were quite rapid ...

    ... the way he spun round and glared at 'the divot' was incredible.

    Just back from the game. I thought we deserved the point however unlikely it came, Leeds are the best team that I have seen this season, Tanaka and Rothwell controlled the midfield and as a team they retained the ball well. I am proud of the way we showed against them, with better ball retention we would have won that easily.
    Win lose or draw, we always stay to applaud the players off the pitch and they deserved it after that performance. Mepham, O'Nien or Jobe for MotM, there wasn't a *** paper between them. Neal, Mundle and Cirkin not far behind.
    Right, where is my wine :emoticon-0169-dance

    Gnonto was excellent, personally I'm surprised he's not in the prem. They definitely doubled up on Mundle but the stats suggest he did well. 10 crosses when the next best for any other player was 2 and quite a few of them were quality.

    I had the perfect view for the flight of the ball for Brownes thunderbolt

    Turned left with a flatter bounce, would have just clipped off stump or keeper would have been stumped

    Haven't seen a replay that fully does it justice, incredible

    I was on the half way line so can't be sure but it looked like they were using smelling salts or checking for double vision, etc ...

    ... if it's possible concussion they're supposed to take the player off aren't they?

    10 crosses? Surely that's including corners as I don't recall anything like that number.

    Ironically similar to the tactics he utterly lambasted us for last season! Difference is, his keeper is mates with Tonali, who backed a 2-2!!

    Smug, I think you've nailed it.
    The keeper went for the ball on the left.

    I thought that but surely if it was the case he wouldn't be the only player with more than two crosses/corners.

    I remember three across the edge of the six yard box that no one got onto.

    He's one of the worst keepers I've ever seen. Absolutely shocking. And not just tonight. The lad is awful

    Reckons 4 accurate crosses out of 10 and 7 corners on fotmob. I’d say he put more than 3 crosses in from open play, I’m sure he had a few blocked that went for corners and a few that went right across the goal with nobody on the end of them - my guess would be that’s not counting corners as crosses but I’m not 100% certain.
