Example. Leeds have no problem at all starting form deep, switching it out to the flank and delivering a ball into the box. And again, can connect down the flank to deliver a ball in. We've managed it once I think, and that was Walcott. Every other team in the league seems to be better drilled. Hard to imagine after all the work they did under Ralph.

Geez. We struggle to beat any kind of press as well. All back to noone offering an outball anywhere in the team. Not a recent thing that.

Baz saw it late as Janny B standing in front of him

Oh sod!

Total foul on Janny B!

Leeds subs, taking away a lot of those players who threatened earlier.

Oh Bamford. Get up.

Massive KWP block. whew!

Mara's mobility allowed him to win the ball and run from deep in a way that Paul wasn;t looking like doing earlier.

Answered my is KWP fully fit query, as he is coming on. 🙂

Is he fully fit? I can see Selles using AMN to contain today.

Oh, just a little quicker to release that...and I don;t think anyone was far up enough to take advantage of Walcott's pass... still... an attack!

They've not really linked up, and Onuachu not worked as a target. Diallo on so we stop getting overun in midfield. Walcott on asa Stu replacement and a different, more mobile threat with Mara.

Triple threat substitutions!

Might somehow get high enough up the pitch for a JWP free kick?

fair enough booking for Stu there. Gnonto limping around. Hopefully, he'll make a full recovery, just after the final whistle.

Yay! 3rd effort into the box, gets to Paul! okay Paul was at the back post, hoping that the ball had coem from that much better passing opportnity we fluffed taking, but it's progress!

Not the best outcome from Perraud there. Good to see a run there. Leeds were notoriously narrow under JM, so perhaps something to be expoited.

Nice ball in from Stu. We may not be playing at all well, but still goalless. So there's hope. And where there's hope... there's a late sucker punch robbing us of anything. 🙂

AMN plays a strong pass, then moves into a postion to receive it. Knowing it was a tougher one to control, he's not really offering any support, and he vacated his defensive position along the way.

Another Bamford effort. Leeds starting the brighter. Or rather, Leeds have started and we're just waiting for our lot. 🙂

Bamford made sure he went over. Bednarek was half into his hand raising protest as Bamford was still going down. Seen 'em given though.

That international experience that NJ couldn;t handle. 🙂

Here we go. C'mon Saints!

Leeds have a hard working midfield that can allow them to dominate the game and create chances. Wehre they struggle is creating that final pass and finishing, as they're not so good up front. If you can pass through their midfield, or bypass it, then they're defence will struggle. Unfortunately, we can;t string a pass together. So, no chance of getting it past the middle third. We do have a target man, but haven;t used him in that way, and he's not usually in the best position to pick anything up. We have little shape out there, and any forward action depends on how Leeds failed to convert, rather than any system of passing from us. Some slack passing gave them three or four attacks too. Nothing came from them, but that's because of their limitations. If we keep doing it, it increases their chances. It certainly stops us doing anything.
