Not sure what to take from that game right now. We don't lose a lot under McKenna, so if it has to happen then to Leeds is annoying but no disgrace.
Thought we made the perfect start, even more than what I thought before kickoff. Whilst their 4th goal was pure quality in terms of the move and leaving Williams for dead, there's a lot of post mortem needed for the others.
3 men around him after pushing him outside and he makes a heavy touch to get clean through. Davis ball watching and Hladky hesitating on his line for the lead after 15 mins and a third which Hladky got all wrong. Push those out from the post not in the middle of the goal.
The commentary kept talking about the Prem and cost of Leeds' forwards but we were a bit green to think those mistakes wouldn't go unpunished. If Farke moulds them into a team they'll walk the division, they've got that traditional Leeds quality of deciding to ref the game themselves and some real talent to keep before the window closes.
Jackson was MOTM for me, if Burns' second half had matched his first he'd have got the nod but those finishes into Churchmans were so frustrating. Especially when we knew Leeds were letting us in thanks to their belief offside was theirs to decide.
Really baffled by Hutchinson, he started his stint like he was playing his own game and then took that chance at the back post and seemed to do all the things he hadn't so far. Tracked back, put a foot in, made the defender think. Whereas Taylor looked more like a man hunting for a start sooner rather than later.
Chaplin's goal was a lovely move and 10 mins earlier we are talking about a game to remember as you'd have fancied the crowd to roar Leeds into sh1tting it. If we rode our luck to go 3/3 we got a bit of a karmic slap today, this is what happens when you've walked to promotion on an amazing run and you hit a team like them 4 games in I guess.
My main comfort is McKenna will learn a lot from this and so will the players. Hopefully Ashton and the benevolent owners will be raiding that pension fund tonight. The presser had a few hints that McKenna wanted some improvements to the squad. |  |
