Is it my imagination that we have conceded a number of goals from our right back position?
Seems like every game that we have conceded a goal, it appeared that it was due to our right back being out of position.
Initially, Ayling was to blame and I noticed that in the last 2 or 3 games before his injury that he could often be seen in the left midfield position.
Again last night we conceded from the RB position when our attack broke down and Traore sprinted down the pitch laying the ball off to Bamford who then shot it hard and low past Felix.
My imagination or do we seem to have a systemic problem there?
Goals Scored Against us from RB Position

Trainee burst down the pitch and five or six of our players had the opportunity to stop him. There's your problem, not our RB.

We're a team full of little players. Nobody with any physical presence about to compete with him. He'd have bounced off Austin.

Thanks for that Lubo, fair comment but what about the other >40 goals conceded?
Shaun, that's a fair comment too. We've missed having big physical presences in the center of our back 4 for many seasons in the recent past, other than last season when we had Bartley and Jansson.

Traore is quick but i bet hes not had that much fun all season. Leeds are pedestrian in terms of speed. No pace. Lack aerial ability and poor football brains.

Unlike what some might think, I think midfield is just killing us

Be great if it was just midfield, we were killed all over the pitch last night.
When our midfielders and defenders just seem to jog back after we lose the ball, it is extremely disappointing.

Midfield is rubbish Okane and Phillips made 1 tackle between them first half.
That is appalling.
I applaud Anita for hacking traore down when he did one of the midfielders should of done the same for the second goal

I said this about Ayling months ago. Always out of position when we push forward but that’s not always a bad thing. Others should cover him when he pushes forward.
Not sure Berardi is as good as some make out though.
Passion yes. Ability I think so. Overall game management poor.
