Bossed by Matt Smith on both first goals I'm afraid
We've been shocking at the back tonight.Leeds are a cut above

Said this after Blackpool and got shot down. Too slow for this level
Jones struggled against him inthe air, poor game from him tonight. Smith's good in the air and his header was superb.
Wouldn't describe his header as superb he was five hards out and climbed all over jones. Dickov was going mad for 10-15 mins, even got someone to go watch the video
They are going to be climbing they are too big lads battling for it in the air so that's just an excuse in my opinion.
I'm amazed people are blaming Jones over the full backs. Gave Leeds' wingers acres of space - were they being told to do that? and you just knew they'd either spread it wide or put a ball over the covering back winger. I know he hardly had his best game for us though.Don't know what Wabara was up to tonight but looked poor for me.

It definitely went out for a goal kick then curled back in. But then we had a chance to clear our lines but didn't.
I know for a fact they'd spent all day working on it as PD knew Smith was going to play. Even more disappointing we couldn't cope with him. We gave them far too much apace on the wings. Their left winger caused chaos all second half but we had no Plan B to counteract it. Wellens immense again, and Forester sent over a great ball just after he came on that Billy just failed to get his head to. Need some work on the training ground to tighten up at the back. Wasn't Smith at Oldham = I would have thought PD would have warned Jonesy about him.
