Today was not an advertisement for us needing Thiago. Not saying he wouldn't be a good contribution but he doesn't solve the issues that were there today
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. One player would not have made up for the otherwise lethargic team effort.
Leeds were always going to be up for this, but we were guilty of some awful defending that magnified their performance.

hes great a winning the ball back and intercepting, something that might have stopped leeds bursting through the midfield

Over reaction boys.....we are nowhere near our average play yet. First proper game for months for us and guess what...we WON AGAIN!
Another late goal another win....just chill peeps, it looks ok to me; just tighten up in mf and sharpen up mentally and thats it. Btw..Curtis slotted in lovely looks made for the team; salah hatrick after one game and top of the scoring charts...lovely

all of our midfield are good at that so not sure he's an upgrade in that regard.

In parts, but they produced some poor defending, same as yourselves. Hence the comment.

Leeds were very aggressive throughout. Fitness well up there too.
