I have to agree with others on here suggesting a start for Nketiah (or Nkeeeetiah as the guy commentating on Sky Red Button seemed to think he is called) and Costa.
The fact is for over 80 minutes we looked in danger of either losing or drawing that game due to all the chances missed.
If those two had played from the start, chances are we would've been comfortable by the time Bamford could come on with Harrison and play more conservatively up front.
The other way round means a lot of pressure on Costa and Nketiah to get us points - i've posted recently about the company Eddie kept at the Toulon tournament win in 2018 when he was a young lad - virtually all of them now playing/scoring/goalkeeping regularly in the Premier League. To me, Eddie looks like a proper player, as we already know Costa is, compared to Harrison and Bamford who have the odd good game but are very inconsistent in changing the game with their forward play.
Said previously that I can fully understand his reasoning for keeping those 2 fresh if Bamford can do the job and wear the defenders out somewhat...a luxury if we can get away with it.But it is obvious this tactic can cause up to drop points too when it doesnt work! And that just may be the difference at the end of the season. Not saying he has to alter the tactics fullstop...but just try one of the other two from the start once just to see if it does work earlier in the game. We just can't keep missing chances and half chances that regularly when games should be done and dusted.
Bamford has a head like a 50p piece
Had to check the authenticity of the match reports todsy on account tgat Leeds scored from a free kick and a penalty (in the same game). On another matter, does anyone know the extent of fighting in stands i.e. are we going to be fined or docked points?
Did you enjoy yoursenns today eh lads, beating us real Tykes ?.
