Match facts
◾Leeds have won one of their previous four home games against Wigan in all competitions, losing 2-0 last time out in December 2014.
◾The Latics have won four of six league games against the Whites, with each game won to nil (2-0, 3-0, 1-0 and 2-0).
◾Leeds have won their last three league games at home, while they haven't won four in succession at Elland Road since December 2013 (five).
◾Wigan's last five league games have seen just four goals scored (two by the Latics).
◾No Championship side has drawn fewer games than Leeds this season (1 in 12).
◾Stephen Warnock (1,044) is one of just two Championship players to have made 1,000+ touches so far this season (along with Aaron Mooy, 1,086).
Bradders on Sat , Warnock on Tues night, these reunions are getting to be a habit
Anyway, I reckon Jansson has the right of it, the Leeds players should be well up for a bit of revenge and if they play for 90 mins rather than just the last 25 I think we should scrape a 3-0 win , Bartley, Jansson and Wood

I don't get why he took off Sacko at all. He is frustrating yes, but from sounds of it he was causing all sorts of problems with his pace. His pace created the chance for the goal. And just having a player like that pushes a defensive line a few steps back. Bringing on Grimes just lost that threat, allows them to push forward.
The other two subs I could understand, but not that one.

I'm sure he must be on crack or something similar.

It's the only reasonable explanation.

The other two subs I definitely do NOT understand. Wood was playing well and did not need to be taken off. Added much needed height in our box when defending set pieces and holds the ball up well when on the counter.
Mowatt can not lace Hernandez's boots, no need to make that change either.

True Hampshire, but at least they were relatively like for like - as in same positions.
Not like bringing on our worst centremidfielder who is 5ft and tiny for a pacy winger who was causing problems. That just makes no sense.
Either way, yeah very poor subs to make.

No doubt about it. The loss of two points rests squarely on the shoulders of Monk tonight. It just shows that, tactically, he still is not the finished article yet. Certainly no Eddie Howe wannabe!

Yeah I agree they made some sense as apposed to the Grimes one.
I believe that we did not need to make any changes tonight and I think we'd have won 2-0 if we'd have kept it as it was.

Wood and Sacko should have stayed on (unless Sacko was injured). That would have inhibited Wigan from pushing too far upfield. Christ, it's that bloody simple, but footballers and ex-footballers are not generally renowned for an abundance of brain cells!

Lads, Thanks for joining in what turned out to be a pretty disappointing game
