Elland Yorkshire Puds at the Unibol. Home v Leeds Tues. 18th Oct. 7-0'clock

[BorsdaneWhite]

Jones and Iredale’s distribution is woeful, save a few short passes from Jones. Their lads looking handy on the ball and very quick. Cut through us a few times now with runners from midfield. Two 1-1s missed. MJ, again, looks so crucial for us working. Some neat stuff on the wings from us.

Lovely play to open up Leeds and hit the bar.

I'm trying to gauge how well Sheehan, Dempsey and Morley are doing from a defensive point of view to see whose going to battle their way back into contention. I'm getting the impression they're all doing reasonably well. From what i've seen Morley has stood out the most defensively speaking.

Anyone got a different impression than that?

Not necessarily different, but I'll add that it looks like Morley is the "one behind two" in the midfield triangle. Either that or Sheehan is supposed to be alongside him and not much bothering tracking back. Clearly none of them is an MJ by nature.

Chance creation not a problem (9 shots so far) but again chance-taking could be improved.

I think he’s auditioning Isgrove for Saturday.

If so, he's making a good case. But given Izzy's lack of minutes, he won't last 90 tonight and start on Saturday. If he comes off tonight it *could* be a clue (or he could just be knackered).

[DJBlu]

Joel Dixon showing off by saving shots.

Prick.

Definitely getting the impression its Morley holding with Sheehan and Dempsey doing the majority of the roaming and pressing duties.

Isgrove's going to give Evatt quite the selection headache at this rate. Looking impressive.

And half time sees us 1-0 up. Keep it up lads...

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Lee on for Sheehan isn't great news. Nothing against Sexy Kieran but Josh should be playing longer. Her managed the 90 at Tranmere. Hopefully just precautionary.

He went down close to the end of the half but got up okay.

[Mar]

Might just be a tactical switch to give us a bit better balance and save Sheehan's injury from more damage. Certainly think he should be getting some more time off the bench in matches.

Kachunga's been doing some good link up play in the match. Good foil to play off. Would be nice to see him have a shot though.

[Bruce Rioja]

Dixony half way to a clean sheet. Oooooo, it's like having Lev Yashin int' nets.

[DJBlu]

Morley won't be happy with that. Megged on the edge of the 18 yard box.

Just found this under the wireless

Our inability to actually get a shot away has to be legendary. Hit the bloody thing.

Was a good move.

Few players getting a few niggling knocks. Would be a shame for JDB to have to make way as he's had a good game. Bakayoko surely needing the game time.

Baka on for Bod, who went down and limps off. Hope he's OK too.

Didn’t look too good to me. But the decision to take him off was instant so I assume it was planned fairly soon anyway and not because of anything necessarily sinister.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Baka will do well to get "46 minutes into the legs" considering we've already played nine minutes this half.

[BWFC_Insane]

Really good example there of where I think our issues lie. Ball out to John he’s one on one with the full back, cuts back inside and goes backwards. No attempt to get behind the full back and hit the players in the box.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Three subs left, who do you wanna see?

Options: Johnston, Sadlier, Charles, Bradley, Beck.

I'd like to see Beck (maybe resting Izzy and switching John right), Sadlier and I suppose Dion for Kacha - a goal would do him good, off his ballsack or not
