He made two great blocks that kept us in it and actually got his hand on the ball for the goal but the shot had too much power on it.

Berardi was very good.

Green and Bartley decent.

Rest poor.

Cheers Lads,
Disappointed I missed the game
Disappointed with the score
and from what I've read on here I should be disappointed with some of the performances

I had a sneaky feeling we'd be a bit jaded after the internationals, the breaks never seem good for us

Still.............7 games left , Thanks for sticking with the Thread Lads

Come Onnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Berardi needs to keep his place. Ayling or Taylor?
Taylor has the attacking edge, Ayling a better defender.
Tough call that one.

Green was standout today.

Wood looked a little jet lagged, hopefully fresh again Tuesday, although its another long journey after todays.

Can understanding not changing central defence after Brighton win, but if no Jansson on Tuesday then that's a worry.

If Cooper banned, then Ayling comes in at CB

This midfield has worried me for a while. I am not quite sure what they do as they don't control the game and neither score not create.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not the controlling but the easy stuff. Win it - pass it.

Pedraza????
Are we carrying him? AWOL today apart from one chance

Come on guys. We started ok then we fell asleep at a throw in. They scored and after that had a couple more chances.

Second half was all us. We just didn't get a break in the box.

That said - Bridcutt and Viera were poor. Only when Phiilips came on and RV was moved forward did we look any good in midfield.

Good news is our goal difference is worth an extra point.

On we go!

Plenty of aggression fom the midfield today, especially in the second half, but the delivery into the final third was poor. Reading are a big team so we needed to keep the ball on the ground and to run at their defenders, but we were unable to do that. We had so much possession but not enough guile to break them down. This is where you need Vieira, Phillips, Sakho and Roofe to deliver the goods, but it never happened for them today. Still, we looked better in the second half and with first-choice players returning, we should be able to get something at Brentford on Tuesday.

Unless we can replicate the Derby and Brighton performances, the only thing we'll get at Brentford is turned over. They're pretty useful at home.

Evans, I thought the opposite, there was no aggression at all, I was willing someone to put in a yellow card challenge just to wake them the fck up.

Danny Mills on Sky said they looked 'sleepy and lethargic' in the first half. Better in second half but never looked like scoring.
Generally a bad day at the office! It's a blip. Need a reaction at Brentford.

Not our best game but I think nothing really broke for us - unlike them where we fell asleep at a throw in.

Another day we could have scored a couple but it wasn't to be.

We move on to Tuesday.

As is usually the case this season we gift the opposition too many opportunities. Such is the transformation under Monk that we expect more from a Leeds United that has a paper thin squad.

We were better second half but we've seen far better performances than this and it's frustrating to sit through games like this.

I still expect a top six finish but equally the midfield needs to dominate more.

Onwards and upwards.

Stoopo your being too kind we crap really really crap, if we continue to play like that for the next 7 games we'll end up getting beat
