A much better performance by the lads v Brentford, giving credit to Brentford though, they were a little off par because the grass was too long. While the lads played well, from the off may I say, we still have a bit of a way to go to get back to the exciting football we have, and know we can play, it wasn't unexciting, but there were no squeaky bum times. Alioski and Saiz on pitch makes a difference, they play well together and Alioski put in a great performance with Saiz there, Pablo back fit on left and we'll have defences making poop pies. Midfield, imo seems to be our problem area, Brentford were allowed to do too many build ups from, and through our midfield, this is where we missed Forshaw. Isn't it great when we can say we missed such and such and such and such, it certainly highlights their skills and capabilities. I think the ref has been reading the FA / FL league book of rules for all Leeds United games, a few times he blew and wouldn't let us play on, or play the advantage rule, and a few shirt pulling fouls and bear hugs went amiss too. I think we're due for a much improved next level performance game against Middlesboro. This is the brilliant WUM signing off.

Forget individual performances and mistakes, in our position with a new coach the important thing is results. Hopefully this will breed confidence, followed by improved team play. It may be too late this year but it will stand us in good stead for next year.
From 2 angles WC, I agree, it looks like it's too late, but also, a good run can put us back up there with a chance....and the fat lady ain't even clearing her throat yet..
