Can't imagine Leeds have had an easier first 45 away from home this season.

Leeds are that great that the mighty Blackburn, Preston and Hull hve managed draws against them since Christmas.

Thomas, MVE, and even the usually consistent Bidwell are having real off days. Add in Dovin's erratic showing and today's non-existent strike 'force', and we're lucky to be only 2 down.

We gifted both goals. They haven’t had to work hard for the result.

Getting increasingly pissed off with us not doing the basics. Both their goals were a truly of it too.

We’ve forgotten how to pass, move, track runners and tackle.

For all their pressure it’s mistakes they’ve scored from.

In terms of performances it can't get much worse can it ?

Leeds very good , us very poor

We have to improve

We're shit scared unfortunately. If Leeds want to score more, they can, and we will let them.

I think we need several changes and the forward positions are one of our main (but many) problems at the moment. Giving their team the easiest game they've ever played.

The rest of the team are so scared they're constantly making the wrong decisions and being frightened to play anything other than ultra-conservatively. That's when they're not busy giving away chances to Leeds by switching off or hiding.

They could be 4 or 5 up already if they were a bit less complacent in front of our goal. Need to see better application second half.

True but you would hope a few of our players would show some quality, some desire to advance their careers to that level.

Not just shit yer pants.

To be fair he needs somebody up there to pass it to and making runs.

Everything about that was disappointing. Players look petrified again. People were going on all day about making it a tough place but it's been silent from 30 seconds.

They are a level above, as they were at their place. You have to put in a serious performance to get the better of them.

Leeds look very good. So much energy and giving our players no time. Totally outplayed but still just about in it thanks to two very poor pieces of play by Dan James. Simms at fault for the first but why the huge hole in central defence? Far too easy for Bogle to cut in from the right for the second, outrunning Kitching, megging Thomas and then the Lati-Dovin catastrophe. Time to have a look at Grimes.

Bassette for BTA to get under their skin.
Grimes for Allen.

I don’t get the argument that Leeds are so good. They’re hardly that far infront of Sheffield United and Burnley, should we write off the game against those too?

They've got 3 points more at this point than the team we took 4 points from last season. We've gone backwards from then mind certainly

Wrong team from the start imo
Lati watches too much and gives opposition too much space

They are far better all over the pitch, but we've also shot ourselves in the foot with 2 gifts.

We could easily be 4 goals behind already.

I'm sorry but regardless of how good Leeds are that was not good enough. Rudoni and Torp have been anonymous in midfield particularly out of possession, Allen is trying to cover everything. Milan has been shite, and we are so scared of Lati having to mark 14 that Milan is so deep allens having to press the left back as well as cover the midfield. BTA and Simms have been dire. The ball comes back too often.

That was shite and really well should ane 3-0 down.

Poor to give away 2 goals like that. Subs at half time if we want anything out of this game. Grimes will help with ball retention. Screaming out for Bassette! Stick him on Ampadu.

Not sure what the tactical approach was today, we’ve not done anything. No good performances and two poor goals conceded.

I’d switch to 4 at the back and make a few changes. Leeds haven’t actually looked that great.

His general awareness has been poor. A couple of occasions he could’ve let the ball roll in front of him run onto it, rather than taking touch and slowing it down in forward positions.

We were outplayed that half. 2 errors caused by the fact that we are panicked by Leeds. Right from the start you can see that they are better than us and we feel like we're fighting a losing battle. It would take something spectacular for us not to lose this. Maybe Grimes and Sakamoto can be spectacular?

Leeds are clearly much better than us but we look confused - trying to soak up pressure and counter with 2 strikers is very hard work. Lampard fallen into the trap of ‘it ain’t broke dont fix it’ but this was always going to need a different approach. Didn’t look like we believed from the first moment.
