That's better football!

We're winning but in all honestly we have not kicked on from Saturday's good performance. Ball retention has been poor as has movement. Need to see a big improvement in the second half.

He'll pick up in the second half.

Scoreline good performance dire.

Almost the customary goal right on half time.

Charlie has been awful - well it worked for Stu.

To be fair he's been seriously shit other than that superb strike.

Stuey makes up for his previous crap 🙂

We have no drive - back to old men's walking football.

Two awful sides so far.

Stu hopeless.

Stoke are awful - we should be doing so much better.

Charlie needs to be getting further forward.

Play out longer and we create a chance.

Very little movement off the ball from us.

We've reverted to type so far.

Stu Armstrong far too casual so far.

Unable to string two passes together so far.

I thought he said we had lots of the ball in the first half then it was a self conscious effort by the players to adjust and let Leeds have more of the ball in the second half.

If we win tonight I'd go with the same line-up again for the Rotherham game. Time to build partnerships and a settled side.

Makes sense. Let's get at them from the first whistle.

All 3 of those players can create so it would be a mistake to leave them all out imo.

Equally you could say how many times did he come on as a sub when the team was flying which is a lot easier than coming on when the side was struggling - I'd hazard a guess it was mostly the latter. I've always advocated that Armstrong, with good supply, will score goals and, let's face it, the service he got in the Premier League gave him scraps to feed on and that's being generous.

I think how we play/perform tonight will tell us a lot about the direction we are headed. Will it be a carry on of the big improvement on Saturday or will we revert to the tippy tappy, low intensity levels of the preceding 4 games? RM needs to get the line-up and system spot on - if he does we should have nothing to fear against Stoke. All 3 points would be great but a point will be fine as long as it's a decent performance.
