Just back from the match . . .

and could not understand why, when playing 5 in midfield, we leave our best passer of the ball on the bench and play a left back in central midfield.
As hard as Charlton worked, he constantly gave the ball away, something Safri does not do. Perhaps Safri is unfit - but why then was he even on the bench?
Although we played long ball up to Leon first half and it did not look good, Leeds despite having much of the possession, never really looked like scoring. THe 'fantastic' save by Green when shown on the big screen was only a regulation save.
Leeds first goal: when Blake's shot was deflected, Hulse was offside. This was confirmed when it was played back on the big screen. Can't believe the linesman could not see it. Perhaps an argument for video replays.
Second half we upped the pace and passed the ball more, albeit very predictably. But it was a massive improvement on every other away game this season, Sheffield and Ipswich excepted. Hughes - so frustrating. Works his socks off but his passing is SO bad. Robinson was much better, almost good. Hucks looked keen and did run at the Leeds defence when he got the chance. Doc, Shacks and Adam looked secure, Flem looked dodgy at right back. Leon worked so hard up front on his own. Battled hard, won headers and was prepared to run at defenders. Whole-hearted effort from him. At last Mcveigh is getting a run wide right. The best wide right player in the club. Why oh why has he not played there more often?
When one down and the chants of 'We want Worthy out' stated, it was interesting that the rest of the aways fans told them to 'Sit down, shut up'.
Would have bitten your arm off for a draw before the match. Disappointed with only one point after the match.
