    I had a shufty on Youtube. There's a few offering up the game, but you've got to pay £1 to register. If someone has tried it, please let us know. No way am I giving out my bank details to some unknown out there. Might find I've also bought lots of stuff I didn't know about. Or see! <yikes>

    LeedsLive Match Ratings ...

    Leeds United (4-2-3-1)

    28 Karl Darlow
    Beaten by a deflection for the Shrewsbury Town goal, but a choppy debut for Darlow. Distribution with his feet did not look comfortable at any point during the evening and pressure only ever seemed to be invited when he was playing it within United's third. 5

    2 Luke Ayling (c)
    One of the few players on the field who carried any kind of drive up the field in the first half. Kept asking questions of the away defence, even if his plans didn't always come off. Became a bigger force after the break until late on when he began to struggle. 6

    5 Charlie Cresswell
    Settled into the game, but opening 10 minutes were sloppy. One heavy touch allowed Shrewsbury to get into the final third necessarily. 6

    4 Ethan Ampadu
    Uncharacteristically loose with the ball, especially in the first half at centre-back. Much better as a midfielder, dictating play. 5

    33 Leo Hjelde
    Another difficult game for the 19-year-old, who still has a lot of work to do if he's to convince as a regular starter for the Whites. Did not progress the play well enough down the left and watched Taylor Perry go by him far too easily before the opening goal. Hooked again at the break. 4

    17 Jamie Shackleton
    Flitted about with his usual energy, offering options to team-mates. 6

    18 Darko Gyabi
    Very shaky as he dropped in to collect possession from the defence. Too many errors have Shrewsbury sniffs of goal and undeserved territory. Another guilty of allowing Perry to go by him too easily before the opening goal. 4

    27 Ian Poveda
    Another bright outing. Better in the second half, but keeps going by defenders for fun at any given moment. Standing ovation when he came off. 7

    22 Archie Gray
    Another very competent display, but in a slightly more advanced role. So intelligent on the ball and off it when finding space to position himself. More of a goal threat. 7

    Substitutes

    1 Illan Meslier

    13 Kristoffer Klaesson

    16 Sonny Perkins

    21 Pascal Struijk (on for Gyabi h/t)

    Right place and right time with the second goal. Brought some control to central defence. 6

    23 Luis Sinisterra (on for Poveda 83min)

    Late switch and a quick impact in the final third. N/A

    25 Sam Byram (on for Hjelde h/t)

    Again, a marked improvement on what Hjelde was bringing to left-back. So much more potent attacking the left flank. 7

    26 Lewis Bate (on for Gelhardt 90+5min)

    Barely got a kick. N/A

    West Brom hijacked the deal (
    Leicester being his parent club) but, otherwise, 100% Doc :emoticon-0148-yes:
