Leeds Utd v Coventry City Match Thread

[WhiteRose]

Piroe should be killing himself to get to the back post there

[Scoobychief]

Rutter misses again

[John in Louisiana]

Pascal Struijk is a beast

+3 mins.

[Orange Box]

Don’t do stats but I’d love to see Georginio’s pass success rate this half.

[Allrounder]

Just forget any penalty from this ref, you probably need to be gunned down before he even considers to give it.

[Scoobychief]

Where captain Morgan COOPER? not seen him for ages seems like years

[CUSSIE01]

Poor 1st half, lots of huffing & puffing but can’t remember their keeper making a save

[John in Louisiana]

The problem with being big and strong, as Rutter is finding out, is referees give people expanded license to beat up on you

[Finnatic]

James, Rodon, Spence and Struijk the pick for me first half

[CUSSIE01]

With Ipswich drawing we need the 3 points

We’re making so many unforced errors, and Cov aren’t even pressing us. I don’t want to worry anybody, but this squad have a tendency to play better in the first half than the second. Let’s hope that trend changes today.

8/12 (67%)

[John in Louisiana]

James, Rodon, Spence and Struijk the pick for me first half

Spence got turned inside out early on but did a much better job on Sakamoto after that. Looks good going forward, too.

[SG90]

Expecting Farke to make no changes until the game's gone

Southampton winning

Get away with yer. Okay then, times he has controlled the ball?

[Jaydog]

Riveting

[Overman]

Following on from the Sunderland game. We are looking pretty disjointed as a unit, lacking that clinical edge and nouse in the final third. Farke needs to sort it for the second half.
