CountryRoyal Gunter's left foot is better than his right. :lol:

Still some aimless balls forward to no one. But at least they're actually forward.

Hound Low reckons McCleary and Gunter wing backs in a 5

But also says Bacuna is CB which I’m presuming isn’t correct

I'm thinking 4-4-2 with McCleary RB, Bacuna RM and Berg dropping into CB when the FBs push up.

We look decent, if a little shaky and short of confidence and precision up front.

I believe I just heard the first chants of "Boring, boring Reading".

Don't think we've been boring at all really.

Nope, Bacuna RB, McCleary RW

And we've had 2 shots to 1. OK both off target, but at least we're trying something.

Aluko really is frustrating to watch eh? I know he's been effective but fook me he's got a heavy touch.

I'm finding Gunter's lofted pass to their keeper / touch more frustrating. Especially seeing as this is the best he's played in ages.

This is quite feisty. Ref's letting a lot of physical stuff go and getting it spot on, and penalising the cynical and nasty stuff.


Ooooof that was nearly masterful from McCleary, Bod and Aluko.!

McCleary really seems shot as a forward. Struggling to beat his man or weight a pass. Messed up a simple ball for Dadi then.

Barrow or Popa for McCleary on 60 - 65 mins seems an absolute banker right now.


I'd take just getting through this game without conceding the usual self-inflicted goal.

We've done a good job of restricting Leeds and making a few chances of our own. Not the most spectacular of halves but this could still go either way and all the predictions of a trashing look a bit silly now.

Cant see Stam making "early" subs. We are playing well but again we are lacking a clinical touch.

If the game was to see who could fanny about with it for the longest period of time without taking any significant risks this league would be wrapped up by January.

Pretty promising stuff, have sprung some good counterattacks with purposeful passing.

HeinzGuderian So far so good up here to be fair. You really can see why Leeds are a huge club too. Pubs around the ground all packed.

Love my club but cant help but be a bit envious.

Genome?

Tbf, we’ve generally contained well all season

Issues have been losses of concentration leading to silly goals and no cutting edge

Well, here goes the half we can actually score in. Still waiting on our first cataclysmic mistake, though.
