Im sick of folk slagging kachunga, he was great today, shut the hell up about him . Despite the woeful miss, again, he had a decent game I thought, his best for a long time. I agree.. Not my favourite player but credit where its due. Needed shooting for not slipping Grant in when he had a massive chance to do so

The only possible justification I can see for this comment is you're trying to make your Billing to Bury comment the second most stupid thing ever posted on Down At The Mac. He frightens the life out of me with it at his feet....just occasionally he sets off and I always fear him tripping over it. No close control and slow to move it. The worst natural footballer today...not saying the worst footballer. Have you considered (injury aside) why he has 20 appearance in well over 3 years? There's no doubt he's inconsistent and I was critical of him after the Preston game when he was bullied, but he was very good today, as was his passing and ball control. I'm not his biggest fan but you have to give credit when its due.

Never had a full house so quickly playing Oti bingo Its just PMT...post match tension....most usually agree with my round-ups of the game but it smarts more today. Hey, I had to sit with 20 L&&ds fans! We were poor, one good chance first half and all the rest when we were 2-0 down. Think we have headed straight at the keeper 10 times the last three matches....frustrating. Kachunga’s miss was when it was still 1-0. Edit...somebody had already pointed this out, sorry😬

Oti-ffs,everybody after the match in White Rose ,including Trevor Cherry said Stankovic looked a class player...I agree.And whilst everyone is calling Bamford I wished we had had somebody a narky and niggly as he was...Fortunately he always misses chances but oh for somebody that give the opposition Centre halves a tough game..Mounie was still crap for me today.Sadly Duhaney and Karoma lack pace and hard as they tried will not be a championship players. I have to say I don't think Duhaney has a future at town based on what I've seen He was poor today, he was exposed by the Leeds winger initially and the cross for the second came from his side.

Surely too early to call on Duhaney? The same was said about Stankovic when he made his debut but there is only one idiot left who can't see he's growing into a class player now.

Can't believe people are slating mounie performance today. Apart from stank and Hogg, he in my opinion was our other best performer. Lost 1 header all game, won countless freekicks. Today, Grant was poor, yet no one is giving him the treatment others get. Why not just accept that the game was won by the team who were more clinical. For me, it was just great to see opposing Centre Half’s having to work for a change when playing us. How come every team we play against has a Target to aim for and we don’t? He made mistakes of course he did, but I thought he put in a great shift especially in the first half. It was his first 90 minutes of the season - I hope we keep him in the team for a run of games now.

Grant isn't /wasn't poor Thought everyone worked very hard, unfortunately we defended poorly twice and conceded, they defended quite poorly on a few occasions and didn't. Goalscorer is something they want after their name, they get paid for it and today they failed. Not difficult chances and therefore as responsible for the defeat as everyone else.

Haven’t got time to read this thread in it’s entirety but considering I expected us to get mauled I thought we did well. A makeshift team, which was absolutely necessary to call out the primadonnas more than held their own against the ‘mighty’ Leeds. Personally wish we’d have had the pace and power of O’Brien in the side and we’d have been able to get Bacuna further forward as he seemed to sit a lot deeper second half and he’s the player capable of changing things. I’m not too down all in all, on that showing if Leeds are supposed to be class we’re not that far off. Stay up and give the Cowleys time to mould a ‘team’ and we’ll be going places.

Duhaney is a work in progress. Yes, Leeds sniffed out that he was a weak link and started to put balls down their left, but he is only going improve with game time and I am sure that he will make the grade.

Don't get me wrong he Isn't poor, he's worth 10x what we bought him for. But today I thought he was poor, didn't get involved enough and hid away too much for a player of his calibre. Sure Tuesday evening will be different, a brace against his former club

He won plenty of headers especially in the 1st half. Thought their centre backs dealt with his aerial power well in the 2nd half, partly because Mounie stopped competing for the ball a lot of the time. But his touch and his passing is that of a sunday league player. Awful. What he brings is a target man any of our players can lump it up to and who'll flick it on more often than not. For what he cost and what were paying him, you have to expect a whole lot more than that surely. He put a shift in. He tired late on and got less effective. He played partly because of injuries but also because the Cowleys knew they would try to stop us playing out from the back, which they did. So instead of balls coming straight back we actually held a lot up and created from some of them. You have to take into account a few of the players have not played much, including Mounie, so link up play was always going to be hit and miss. Just a word for Flo, who was also playing out of position. He worked really hard today and put in one excellent cross from the byline in the second half. He is not a world beater but you cannot fault him for effort and energy. Did you notice Flo stayed on his feet pretty much the entire game? Edit: Perhaps i imagined it.

1) Kachunga ducked out of the way for their first goal. If he had stood strong, the ball would have hit him. Perhaps it may have still deflected in... or bounced to another leeds player... but dont duck out of the way. 2) Duhaney probably should have got closer for their second goal, but an early ball was played. Fault for this goal was Flo who was yards off his man at the back post, jumped for it and missed the header.
These basic mistakes on decisions are costing us... along with the 4 glaringly obvious chances to score which we didnt take.

Bloody well played Town. Fine margins again and a good game of football to boot. I thought Leeds looked good on the ball and broke with real purpose, especially their second goal, but we ran them close. Some good performances in there as well. Koroma slotted in well and Stankovic really looks the part now. I am always amazed at Katchunga’s energy. Right at the end still sprinting. I thought Mounie did what was asked of him and cane close with the back header in the first half. Considering the changes made and how well settled the opposition are we did very well. They should all hold their heads high after that. I thought Koroma was bloody awful and clueless as was Duhaney. Just shows how wrong you can be then doesnt it.

Dunhaney has been called out on this thread already for his performance and Koroma, was he involved in any of the key Town moments of the game? If you think either had a decent game then you must have seen a different game. If you want to expand on why you think both had decent games, please do.

... Another that is irking me is our corners, we had a lot today but carry absolute zero threat from them at all. ... The Cowleys came with a reputation for being set piece experts. OK, it is very early days but I hope that we start to see some improvement in that phase of the game, soon.

Koroma put some good balls in all game and showed good feet to get past men and set up various attacks. One example of this was his ball in to Kachunga he should have scored from. The biggest moment of the game.

We have big centre backs but either the delivery is short, too long or the opposition clear.

Poor game generally, very bitty. Both pressed well breaking up any cohesion. Hogg...woeful...so many poor and stray passes. Still brilliant at blaming others straight after though. 5 star. Kachunga continues to steal a living and the photos he has of Wagner in a compromising position must have been doctored to include the Cowleys. Koroma and Duhaney were lost. Stankovic...as useless on the ball as Zanka. Mounie and Bacuna ineffectual. Considering we had so many changes and so many off the pace its surprising how much we were in the game. L**ds...nothing special. Thougth Alioski was cute...a good little player. Shut up you clown. Bizarre....that was the assessment of every person I was at the game with....more than 20 people. When you go Jimbo put the real specs on instead of the blue and white ones.

They had 2 excellent finishes - we had Kachunga. Sounds harsh but is that 5 or 6 this season - sitters? at least he hit the target unlike grants sitter. It would have been harder to miss the target than score from 4 yards out. It was unbelievable. He just heads it straight at the keeper again.
