I'd say we are a bit better with potential to be a lot better. But tonight is tough

I still don't think we cope well with teams who find "space between the lines" as JHT has identified Leeds do. Or who have a lot of pace in wide areas.

I still think our lack of a true "CDM" leaves us exposed a bit against teams who find space between the midfield and the defence. We got away with it a bit at times v Watford when their number 8 was operating in that area. it will be interesting to see how we do tonight and whether JHT adjusts things. I do though think we can open Leeds up.
