Opportunity for 3 points missed.Some comical defending towards the end almost gave away the match. Hector made some really bad mistakes mixed in with some really good defending, Obita much the same. Norwood looks a real class player and until Akpan went off the midfield worked quite well, his match ended by injury by the look of it. Guthrie added nothing when he came on.

Blackman could have been the real match winner but decision making about when to release the ball after skinning the left back could have been far better. Wants the glory I think. Leeds could have nicked it at the end but would have been unjust.

Decent game of football last night with Reading looking the better team but failing to get any killer pass in the final third despite having enough possession to do so. Leeds were reasonably good and the movement from the Italian centre forward gave us a few problems.
The Quiet Man

Broadly agree with the comments so far. Norwood and Akpan working well in tandem, Blackman easily the most likely to produce something, Cooper and Obita guilty of some moments of serious sloppiness in possession. Federici's distribution was poor too and nearly cost us a couple of times.

But we kept the ball well, by and large. There were probably a few times when we really needed to shift gears quicker to exploit an opportunity on the break, and sometimes we looked happier to allow Leeds time to regroup and play the ball around in front of them.

Mackie looked really off the pace when he came on, bundling gracelessly into the full-back on both occasions that he had possession in a decent spot. And sadly Murray had very little influence on the game. I thought HRK's cameo was promising. Given McCleary's situation and Mackie's form I'd have HRK back in the team as soon as possible, replacing Taylor who doesn't seem to produce much to me. Anyway, overall a pretty encouraging performance I'd say. Far more competent than against Wolves, just missing a little cutting edge.

Energy and tempo. Both were there as Darko Milanic introduced himself to Elland Road but chances and finishes were missing on a goalless evening in Leeds.

Leeds United’s new head coach saw organisation and intensity flow through his team, just as he demanded, and in that respect will feel happier than he did after Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Brentford. United were shaky at Griffin Park and rattled in the end but Milanic’s first league point was safely accrued last night.

Leeds and Reading tied each other in knots, equally lively between their respective boxes but no great threat beyond the 18-yard line. United have had that problem in spells of this season and after looking closely at his defence in the days after his arrival, Milanic might now shift his attention to the opposite end of the pitch....

Glenn Murray came closest to a winner with a second-half header which Marco Silvestri kicked off his line and much of the game belonged to Reading after the break but Leeds did not allow the contest to get out of hand, as they had against the Berkshire club last season...

Reading’s pace and movement was the basis of their strategy but Leeds were like-minded. Alex Mowatt pinged a shot over the visitors’ goal early on and Byram drag the ball wide after arriving to finish off a counter-attack. There was no appetite on either side for a goalless evening, even though it finished that way.
