Not sure we'll get a result here if MGW is out. We look devoid of any creativity without him.

Yes I agree this could go either way. Hopefully Scarpa or Johnson can come up with something. I think 1-0 Forest

I just get this sinking feeling that we’re not as good as our league position might suggest. The new signings have improved the team quallity, of course, but might need time to settle in. I fear this match might be the first in a losing streak (but hope I’m wrong).

Just looking at our fixtures (and our injury list!) it will be a tough month and we could easily be back in the bottom 3 by March. Need to get some players back from injury and settle in the new faces. If we pickup 2 points from our next 4 games it will be good progress.
1-1

Good news though that the BBC are reporting that Rodrigo is out for up to 2 months. That's a massive blow for Leeds.

Results couldn’t be much worse today other than Southampton 2-0 down. Let’s hope Forest can put a decent performance in tomorrow.

Yeah, I was just about to say - near enough every team we're struggling against has gone and won, sometimes in quite unlikely circumstances. Bizarre set of results to be honest.

Yesterday's results make today an even bigger game. I hope it's another crazy result (in a good way) and we end up with a 3-0 win or something

Rumours MGW is starting today. Big boost if so.

Good to see MGW in but we cannot be dependent on him all the time. Decent looking team and with Lingard and Scarpa on the bench we have options.
Hopefully we hit the ground running.

Frustrating start. Literally can’t put 3 passes together.

Would like to see Freuler, Mangala and Danilo hold the ball better.

Is it just me or have Leeds turned up in an 80s era Arsenal away kit?
Leeds just missed a sitter, we were lucky there.

Would change our whole midfield. Given the ball away every single time! Danilo had a fab debut against United but has been terrible so far. Without Navas we would be down and out.
I don’t see what Wood offers up front. Done nothing so far either

Good goal by Johnson, Lucky to be ahead though in my opinion. Navas has had 3 big moments 2 good saves and an important interception.
We are not winning any second balls at all. Leeds have had all of the ball and it has pretty much been a half of defending but we are looking a bit desperate at times.
We haven't passed the ball about in space one but, we have played in congested areas and been dispossessed a fair few times.
Need to start playing our way otherwise Leeds will at least get back on level terms.

Navas another great save. I don't know why Williams has started but Aurier needs to come on

Half time. Very disjointed performance need to improve otherwise we will lose this game.
2 names to mention
Navas just looks quality. He knows what he is doing between the sticks, his positional sense is brilliant and his shot stopping has proven to be very strong in that first half. You can just tell he is a very good keeper.
Boly is looking like a really good centre back for us, glad he is back in the team. Wins everything, positioning seems good.
And also Johnson with a really nice finish.
Other than that though we are really up against it here. Duno the stats but Leeds must have had over 60% possession of ball and look dangerous around the edge of the box and when they ping it in the channels towards our full backs.
Our midfield hasn't got a grip of this game at all. Calling out for someone like Shelvey to be in their to be honest.
Gibbs white needs to get on the ball with his confidence and we need to find more space.
Leeds missed some good chances, one of which was a sitter which was blazed high and wide.
Come on boys we really need to step it up.
