Title: Ben Close

Yet again a classy performance, didn't put a foot wrong all game.

Absolutely streets ahead of the awful Charlie Crew tonight again. No way can Crew be getting game time in the league ahead of BC now.

Crew showed he’s light years away from getting a game for Leeds if this is how he’s gonna play.

I thought Close was decent, Bailey immense.
A few decent performances against a good side.
Crew & Mols were poor when they came on, Gibson looked lively. Poor punch from Lawlor for the goal.
No disgrace , but God we need a goalscorer.

It’s either Close or Broadbent though surely? The both want to occupy the same areas.

He’s about that far from starting for us imo. He will get special loanee treatment though and get plenty of games I’m sure

Agreed Gazlaz.

Close just keeps the game ticking along threading balls here and there and breaking up play.It’s hard to put one against another but Close is so much better with the ball in tight spaces  and it seems the players around him are more in tune to his style than previously.

He certainly cannot do anymore than he has been doing lately to force his way in that team.
