Blatant penalty

If Che Adams was finishing like Armstrong is tonight he'd be getting pelters.

Imagine how many goals Adam Armstrong would have if he could finish relatively easy chances...

Yep. On Tuesday we had no one up top who was able to hold the ball and bring others in to play.

Martin must know how poor Smallbone is off the ball. I think he gets away with it a bit when Downes is playing but when he isn't, it's badly exposed. He is usually decent at keeping possession though, I guess that's why he's in the side.

What groundbreaking journalism from Crooky yet again. Employee interested in going to one of the biggest clubs in the world? Surely not?

What a terrible week this is turning out to be

Leeds have a very, very good front 4 at this level. Probably the best in the league. Pacey and powerful players perfect for away games.

3-0 now

Bazunu; KWP, THB, Bednarek, Meghoma; Downes, Aribo, S Armstrong; Brooks, Fraser, Adams/Mara. Armstrong has had 3 poor games in a row, maybe he needs a rest. Certainly don't want to see him as a central striker again.

Someone mentioned it on the Bristol City thread but going 3 at the back if Downes is out could be a good shout. Need to get back to being more solid. It might also keep Manning slightly further away from our goal.

Adam Armstrong cannot play as a central striker. He's just so ineffective there.

These spaces seem a lot more open when Downes isn't playing. It's a bit scary how important he is to us.

Does anyone watch enough of Cam Bragg to say whether he'd be a genuine option if Downes is out? I doubt Martin would consider it but Smallbone really can't play that role and Charles seems to be getting worse game by game.

I thought he'd recovered but maybe not.

The Brooks sub was odd, arguably our best player.

It's almost as if you press us, we don't know what to do. I think we've been worked out...

Adam Armstrong needs some time out of the team. Been really poor for a few weeks now.

Wtf is Smallbone doing

Manning is having an utterly terrible half here

Smallbone and Manning disasterclass there

I'd certainly get Stu on for Charles.

Armstrong is poor for us as a number 9. Charles has been absolutely horrendous and Smallbone not much better. Rothwell and Brooks look decent.

I think the make or break period is the one that we buggered up earlier in the season. Sunderland, Leicester, Middlesbrough and then Ipswich.

I'm not dropping him. I'm giving him a rest as he looked a bit jaded to me. We have the firepower now to rotate and minimise the risk of injury to our best players.
