    Target man for last ten mins

    Unlucky last night, showed plenty of fight & determination, and with a bit more finesse / luck in the final 10 mins or so, could / should have sealed all 3 points.
    Just feel at times, like yesterday, with the crossing ability we have in Harrison / Saiz / Douglas etc, a target type figure in the box. may have just connected or laid something on for others, just a different form of attack - Edmundson may be raw, but has the size / style just to offer something different.
    For sure having Roofe & Bamford out effects things greatly, but would be good to have a " physical " threat in reserve.

    We did everything but score pal, No need for a donkey type to throw on ( Not saying Edmundson is that) but think you get my drift, Its not the way Beielsa wants to play and i trust him.

    Have to say despite some of the negative comments - Leeds are the real deal this season - great team to watch and the performances are always attack attack attack

    Neutrals are saying we look good - and generally speaking you don't hear that - last time others praised us that I remember was when O'deary's Babies where leading the Prem....

    Just another quality striker and a quality CB away from becoming a serious promotion contender in my honest opinion..no doubt at all we have the right manager.

    This squad has play-offs written all over it as it stands..which is more than acceptable in my book.

    I trust the guy too Pete, he's got the confidence in and taken the panic and heads down out. A squad that seems to believe in themselves. Very positive.

    Been impressed with subs so far until fri. Forshaw on 90 mins. (waste)

    Would have swapped Roberts for Clarke
    and maybe thrown on Shackleton

    If we keep making that many chances over the course of a season we will get results more often than not

    Would mean a change in style if you had a target man on, Bielsa isn't about that as it shows no faith in the system you're playing and I agree.

    Stick to Plan A and if it isn't working, try harder.
