Not really much to say, its a different team to that early season one that passed the ball at pace and threatened the goal every 2 minutes.
Players looked shell shocked and we conceded carbon copy goals that leave our defence looking silly and give us a mountain to climb.
Normally there is one or move moves that leaves you amazed at the football, not today. Second best to most balls, not winning second balls and simply shocking delivery from free kicks and corners.
A whole season of work undone in 2 games.
Of course, the reality is, all those stupid defeats have eroded what should have been a promotion winning total. As its stands, we don't deserve promotion, we need to create proper chances, we need to not concede such easy goals.
Just really really disappointed that there was no reaction to the Wigan results.
Thoughts from today

My thought from today:
I bloody wish it was Jansson who got injured in the warm up for Wigan and not Cooper.

Best I was thinking
Cooper would be getting absolute pelters if he had of played how Jansson has the last two games.
Better defender but doesn’t fist pump the fans

Both Jansson and Cooper are very good footballers at this level. But both have errors in them. Cooper used to make more of them, or at least higher profile ones, but Jansson has made more this season. First goal today was, frankly school, Boy stuff.
For all we toiled without any quality in the final third, we still had enough chances to have got at least a point, if we hadn’t defended like knuts for the goals.

Jansson most over rated player on here.
And that’s not me saying he’s a bad player he’s a good centre back. And I love him.
But a lot talk like he’s the best in the league and will get snapped up for £10mill by a peek club.
He’s not even the best in our side.

We've had a great season thus far. We've confounded many by getting into the play offs let alone making players looking better this season than last.
Wigan and Brentford are real blows. It's not over yet. We don't do the easy way, this is Leeds United after all.
The defeats, the manner in which we lost are sickeners but we're not dead and buried yet.
Two more games. Play offs guaranteed.
We've come back before.
Stick with them.

They haven't been completely broken before.

What worries most, are not the defeats in themselves, but the way they came.
You could see the look on the players' faces. Right from the start. Looked like they had the weight of a mountain on their shoulders.
And all that led to the nervous performance. That's the worrying thing for me. It will take some mental work to get them back on track I fear

In the run up, every team should be playing at the same time

Just another excuse for poor performances?
How would the team have reacted today if the game was played at the same time as the Blunts and they heard the halftime score?

From my perspective, things started going wrong for the team back when Roofe was injured and Bamford came in to the team.
Since then, we've changed our way of playing - hitting longer balls down the middle for him seems to happen a lot now. It's worked on a couple of occasions, but it's easy to defend against.
Our energy levels seemed lower this last couple of games too.
Gods I hate the playoffs!!
