Pleased overall would have liked that we were more positive in the section half seemed like we tried to shut up shop instead of doing what worked great In the first 45 mins.
Onward to Stoke and keep the same starting eleven even Manning finally had a decent game.COYR.

Nice to see the team play attacking, pressing football rather than the phlim-phlam-shilly-shally-thumb-up-their-arse RustBall.
From the kick off, back to Bazunu and whaaaam! up the pitch. As much excitement in this one game from Saints than in the previous 8. The only times we were under pressure was when we played around at the back.
Smallbone looked a better player! The defence were solid (no place for Stephens!) Charlie buzzed. AdamA and Sulemana pressured the Leeds defence. Piroe? Looked ordinary!!
A much better all-round performance

Our defense finally looked compact and confident Bellis definitely had his best game to date
Russ has previously used St A, Alcaraz and Kamaldeen as subs. Many fans felt they should be startérs because we have tended to look better in the last 20 mins when they are on
Today proved it We started on the front foot and made it pay The only other change I would want in the starting 11 would be Charles for Smallbone just because I think he is a more positive player

Thank goodness for that. An attacking creative deployment taking pressure off the back 4. Wow. Play your best players, be aggressive and pass the ball forward quickly. It wins games. Who would have thunk it.

Hopefully Rodney Martin has learnt the lesson.

Rodney, don't be a plonker against Rotherham - play the obvious starting 11 and don't underestimate the opposition as Leeds did today. In this division you cannot give an inch

COYRs - together as one

That's a relief!! Of course it is only one game but it shows that when he picks our best players and we look to move forward rather than sideways/back from defence we can compete amd more. Bellis may well turn into a very good player and Sulemana has to be utilised while he is here. Of course if Leeds HAD got a second things would have got very scary but they didn't and that was to a large extent because we defended better. Yes no clean sheet but that didn't matter yesterday.

The one cautionary note is that we won because we were very efficient at converting chances. Going forward I think we do need to create more as we will rarely have that high a conversion rate. Anyway - let's repeat at Stoke and start looking UP the table.

I hope we are finally getting our act together. Still waiting for a clean sheet.
