Watching them warm up, I thought "Christ, those centrebacks are huge" but it was the front two. Thought Lasogga did even less than Grot.

Is Kemar Roofe fit? He has beaten us on his own more than once. If he was just left out, that would be a motivator. "Look guys, they think they are so good they don't need him to beat us."

Absolutely no bottle whatsoever, shat out of every challenge and made sure we were playing against 10 men from the first whistle. Well done that man.

I think that nails it. They have loads of players who have been talent-spotted young and signed for big fees, but several come from countries where the fourth tier would be a pushover. Nos 9 and 11 looked huge and scary in the warm-up, but no bottle at all. On paper it should have been another 5-1

Leeds supporters - you deserve more respect from your own players.

Their starting 11 had over 1,200 football league appearances in total between them.

Well over a quarter by the keeper.

Yes, just getting a bit annoyed that the media keep mentioning 9 changes as if they played the youth team.

Their manager made the point that they are all first team players so I got curious about how experienced the team was.

On their website they have profiles of a first-team squad of 26. Fourteen of yesterday's 18 are in it.

Yes, the "nine changes" thing is misleading. Three of yesterday's starters came on as subs in their last league game, a 0-0 against Forest, and totalled about 120 minutes between them. Both yesterday's subs against us played 90 minutes against Forest and all seven subs on the bench then started yesterday.

That's the thing, they put out a weakened side not like it was their reserve or kids side

I was with a Leeds supporting colleague and he says that that big No 9 is on loan from Hamburg and was on the verge of a call up to the German squad before a knee injury. So he may not have many football league appearances but certainly should have done a little bit more than he actually did.

Honestly I didn't think Leeds looked that bad....
























We just played them off the park with players who played as directed by Flynn's tactics , wanted it more and worked harder

Why the big ' reveal' for something so obvious.

If you were a Leeds fan, what would you prefer, another round in the FAC or concentrate on getting a play-off spot, if they get that the FAC loss will soon be forgotten.

So one extra round in the FAC was going to derail their play off chances?? Losing to Newport County is more likely to do damage Imo.
Their manager was gutted, reading a lot of Leeds fans on Twitter they're fuming.

Not a mistake I made, though it would have been nice to see it in HD.
