I would like to rate the players Foxy before i mellow.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

In Chris's post match interview he explains the change in shape was due to looking at the likes of Southampton in the play off's,and I think Sunderland this season...both changed shape to combat Leeds...he said they virtually have a line of 6 when attacking,and thought it would be more effective, but added it fell down due to being poor in turning over possession to easily.

Last season Leeds had a much better team/squad than they do currently imo.

Wilder would have been shiitting his pants at the thought of facing Rutter/Summerville/Gray

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Stubborn Wilder justifies his setup by saying Leeds are too good for us and then blames our players for their performance - such arrogance.
Could he not concede that his changing a winning shape & personnel might , just might , have been a wrong move , when facing a difficult challenge ?
Every player was having to cope with an unfamiliar shape and we had no pace in attack , neither winger used , so we hardly got forward to give some relief to our defence.
Bringing on Campbell instead of one of our wingers or even Brewster was just ridiculous.
"Leeds have wonderful players in every position" was his defeatist response.
What a mardy arse.
Hope we are not going to see a repeat of him starting to throw his toys out.

Jayden Bogle? Really?

It’s easy to blame the change in formation but the reality was that they had far more quality and experience in their squad than we have. Whatever system we could have played would not have overcome the gap in quality.
If there are 5 other teams of that quality in the league then we come 7th at best, but I don’t think there are.

Yes, this is the interesting thing - guessing where we actually are in relation to other teams this season. My feeling is, Burnley & Leeds are the strongest, followed by Sunderland, Boro, Blackburn and us. Be interesting to see how it pans out from here, I think CW knows he got Friday tactics wrong but I think Leeds would have probably beaten us anyway.

Something we will never know but goals change games and we didnt have a shot on target
We didnt have a go, if we had you never know
Im not too worried about Boro and Blackburn if we play to our strengths

Yes, very unlike Wilder really, perhaps chancing the game panned out like the 2019 Bash smash n grab.

I would add WBA into the mix.
