Some sterling performances out there tonight. Darikwa was surprisingly very good. Guediora lacked composure and Grabban deterioated and was poor in possesion. But again for me carvalaho was dreadful. So naive at this level and one paced with awful touch and distribution. Dias?
Lolley was not at his best but how can carvalho stay on the pitch? He gas no clue how to play the no10 role certainly its like playing with 10 men. Some great positives tho as most were so committed to the cause. But in the offensive it was turgid at times.

Robinson was outstanding best lb we had for years, colback worked tirelessly and darikwa was very solid , I actually thought grabban did ok given a thankless task with little support

We’re a third through our matches and we look good enough for the p,any offs, but no further unless we improve our attacking approach. Cavalho is so frustrating and often looks disinterested, weak and out of his depth. I would like to see Osborn in that number 10 role. A draw was a fair read exult but role on VAR!,

Leeds did defend well closed down fast was always going to be tuff, I thought for all of Leeds possession they didn't have too many good chances

Ten men did well rutland.
Carvalho may as well not put his kit on.
We ended the game with nine as Dias is no better.
Complete waste of money.
Makes the others heros in my mind.

Thsts it gazzibaldi. The manager always takes off lolley whilst he is on the pitch he gets stuck in and will always have a pop. Carvallaho never gets subbed and has not adapted to the rigours of this league. I just do not get it with AK and his love children. The players must feel it when they are putting in a shift and these two dilly dally lose posession and back it comes at them. Oh for Ben O to start in the role of Carvallho????

{Ed001's Note - maybe he take off Lolley to keep him fresh and leaves Carvalho on to help him adapt? He is not going to adapt sitting on the sidelines! When Lallana was at Southampton he would always get subbed off, not because he was not important to them, but because he was vital and they worried he would get injured if he played 90 min. So they would take him off every game.}

Carvalho just gave no effort, there were 5 times in the first half where he should of competed for the ball in the air n just stood an let the Leeds player win it, I know he’s not that tall but at least put some pressure, thought cash was immense tonight won every header n actually tried to go forward n also helped defending aswell, nearly nicked a win until the linesman got involved or should I say didn’t get involved, clearly had both teams to score on his acca but for again I was so frustrated at how we play, 20 mins great n then sit back n let the opposition come at us.

I think I watched a different match, all the possession that Leeds had the threat on goal was minimal, as a unit we defended brilliantly, the amount of headers Grabban won in our box to get the ball away was fantastic, instead of criticising individuals we should be encouraging the players because we were robbed by poor referring,
We aren’t going to play stellar football every game, there’s going to be games when weplay fantastic and lose or draw, WBA for instance, maybe AK is right there is some very fickle and negative Forest fans, when Leeds were losing there fans were immense and contributed to there goal. So stop blaming and get behind the boys.
UuuReds.

Note to ED I have watched what their is on youtube re Carvallaho and nothing suggests he is a wonder kid. Given space and time he can look ok but one is not afforded thise luxuries in this league. You could see in Lolley's eyes when he came off he was seething again. Our most effective player in the offensive and works hard when not in posession. Lolley is the player AK should be keeping happy as if in January a Cardiff come calling then Lolley would have his head turned as he will feel the love from Warnock for sure.
When Lolley hit the bar against Norwich it was with his right foot. Their are not many left footers who possess thst attribute and away at Blackburn he and Cash were putting in thunderous tackles, dying for the cause. AK has a strange way of looking after senior pro's. .

{Ed001's Note - I am not saying I was right rr1, it was just an idea for why it keeps happening. A lot of times nowadays it comes down to sports science. If Lolley is putting in more effort, then he will tire sooner and puts himself at more risk of injury. Or it could be that his recovery is slower than others and so he would not be able to play the following game if he did 90 minutes etc. It is quite common and Karanka does listen very closely to what the sports scientists tell him. He takes a lot of notice of the data. If one player is particularly hard-working, then he is going to struggle to finish 90 minutes every week without injury in the Championship with the match schedule. Even N'Golo Kante needs a rest at times and that guy is a machine.

As for Carvalho, I have no idea, but sometimes managers do have blind spots and will continue to pick a player no one else would pick.}

Demis red Leeds fans were immense because they were constantly attacking 70plus %possesion contrast that with our 2nd half against Norwich where we barely had the ball it’s difficult to roar on a team that can’t get out it’s own half for 45mins
