He was better. As they all were. But he can't help making stupid mistakes, being slow in possession and pissing away the ball in daft areas.
If we can get him playing in the first half of games that would be a start.

After the game, Smith said that he wanted composure and control from us. We played like he wanted us to. He didn't want a 'blood and thunder' style match as he thought that would play into Leeds hands.

He's right.
However, we should atill have set up to attack and not contain. We didn't.

Personally think the performance was pretty good overall but the set up was all wrong and Smith took too long to change it up. Leeds scored against the run of play and that made it even more of a struggle. It was pretty evident at half time that we had a lot of the ball without threatening enough with it so a change if shape was needed but still we left it till the hour mark just as Bodger Rodgers always would..

At half time. Or even from the start.

Shouldn't be anywhere near the side. We've let the other options go on loan unfortunately.

We’d be better playing Praet there, IMO.

Yep. Can imagine the posts on here re late subs if that was Rodgers. It's 2 points pissed away regardless of the manager not being that ****.

Phenomenal debut but all of a sudden he looks like a player that prefers to shirk responsibility and let the likes of Tielemans or Maddison try and create rather than take people on. At least with Barnes we know his quality when he has space. Tbf today's game wasn't an ideal chance for our wingers to shine. As mentioned, the set up was all wrong to begin with.

He won't give us enough going forward and he won't stretch the game. However, he'd be no worse than Tete was tonight. We've so few options that are half decent.

Before we play again:
Forest v Brighton
Everton v Newcastle
Southampton v Bournemouth
Brentford v Forest
Bournemouth v Leeds
Newcastle v Southampton
Plus West Ham play twice.
We'll know a lot by 8pm Monday.

So ideally:
Brighton Win
Newcastle Win
Bournemouth Win
Brentford Win
Bournemouth Win
Newcastle Win
West Ham are safe I think
