MATCH RATINGS HALF FULL GLASS THAT MIGHT JUST BREAK ANYTIME SOON
DAWSON ...6Wobbled at times and at others looked better than martin hodge that seems to be teh only way i can sum him up at the moment ! but we should stick with him as westwood is the past and wildsmith is a striker
THORNILEY... 5Maybe Pudil made it hard for him after his performance at Villa park but he got laced the first half .. so much so that joss had to change the tactics to 4-4-2 to protect him hence losing us 2 points! Pudil plays the next game for me if we are to go 3 centerbacks and either he goes or lees plain and simple!
LEES...5Probably his best game so far this season but his donkey ass jockying is a thing of the past and he cost us the second goal by doing so .. hes turned into loovens overnight please get rid at xmas santa
HECTOR...6Undropable at the momenthad a decent game got a foot in many a time held us together better in midfield the first half and is going to be key against WBA next week having now lost BOT BOT
BAKER...5Out of his depth the first half andmade mistake after mistake he did have a better second half but should find hinslef if not injured ? losing his place to palmer who seems to have grown a pair of bollocks of late
PENNEY..7 MOM FOR US ANYWAY He was our best player and nearly scored the winner i dreamed of last night

not to be this time hopefully it will come against the scrubbers

he did however make some silly desiciones with his final ball more than once but hes only 9 games into the championship so no problems for me pure talent and a breath of fresh air as far as Wednesday are concerned
PALMER..6Came on and looked like a veteran

made us solid in defence but as usual in attack he has nothing

i do feel he won us apoint tonight though as baker struggled defending and attacking! palmer just came on an slowed things down
Summary defence and wingbacks
A 3-5-2 turned into 4-4-2 the second half because thorniley was getting raped and lees was doing feffall as a captain again

maybe it was just a good leeds team or maybe we should take heed and not pair this lot up again ? pudil wins his shirt the next game..... and ffs make him captain he didnt do half bad last year when he got the chance hector is helping lees out loads so for me baker and thorniley have to sit it out palmer comes back aswell so hector can play midfeild more becasue lets face it lees is screwing joss and wont ever be dropped
MINGE.... 6Did his david & butterfuck impression for 30 minutes in the first half

and then decided he would play and start winning some battles and actually making us tick as Bannan was man marked to pieces by a rapido scum midfield

still he doesnt convince me much hes like a poormans Gary shelton !
but maybe thats all we should exspect
BANNAN....6Tried his hardest but was man marked with speed by a faster leeds midfield out of the game and couldnt get a foot hold ! bannanis the best player in the league on his day and is also the easiest to take out when the math has been calculated correctly ! we will miss him badly though still against WBA and quiet frankly i dont see how we will cope unless we just go for it and play goalie wag with 5 strikers
REACH...7In the first half he was at his worst by his standards this season and then that goal

had a better second half and nearly won us the game yet again single handed and this is him playing bad

hes night and day from the player we first signed hes actually worth 10 million at the momenet and not a fiver or the 5 we signed him for ! he is going to be key for the WBA game lets hope he keeps the good work up
Midfield summary and tonight we got overun but i dont think joss could do anything else than sit back like we did against Villa it would have been suicide to have taken possesion agnst the fastest team ive seen yet this season! and that is painfull to type

they did a good job in all but no matter of the result we now have to figure out how we are going to play without Bannan and the only blueprint joss has is Reach and maybe hector after showing yet again he can mix it ! matiass is needed now more than that new feffing signing we always seem to get with mr cliche i feel
FESSI...5i could have subbed hi at HT if it wasnt for his energy dont get me wrong he caused problems but when asked to graft its like asking micheal angelo to build an feffing wall and whitwash the feffing thing

if we are going to play him then its either as a striker or forget it ! yes he plays something special as a grafter aswell but sometimes you have to concede tonight he should have gone at HT or change the game to his liking ..you cannott have it both ways with fessi and we know this
FLETCHER...5Ref didnt help but he didnt have a good game in the first half he didnt exsist and was not linking any play up he did try though but he is still he never seems to play well with fessi so for me this pairing is in the bin its one or the other
joao & bob ....6 looked much better as a pairing chased down better showed more skill without the effort and if others hadnt been so tired might have won us the game for me these 2 play the next game with matiass simple fessi sits it out

joao does things without the effort that fessi puts in and bob the same when you compare him to fletcher

and maybe the young preston should get some game time to wake up the likes of these superstars ? it seemed to work the last time he played also preston can do he work in midfield without diving allover the xxxx floor and being so fast like fessi that there is no support

thats what happened tonight fessi went chasing on his own and forgot his team are not at the same level ! preston wont do this nor will his balls shrivel ! we need to bring the forwards closer to the midfield simple

there is no point playing headless chicken on yer jacks no matter how good you are
JOSS...8Set the tactics how i wanted

let them have the ball lets hit them on the counter perfect

shame he picked fessi who was too quick for everyone but and that pudil and matiass were injured because pudil for me could have been the difference tonight and it cost him the game defending thorniley !!!!perfect tactics for a very good leeds team .. very good and they have 4 star players out ffs

alot of respect for joss after the last 2 games and if he can guide us to 3pts next week without bannan it will be a masterstroke ! hector is a great signing aswell might i add

so little by little joss is making a difference
