Lucky to be winning but we'll take it.

Many many poor or totally anonymous performances

Aside from Meslier, Gnonto, Harrison and Wober nobody else playing OK.

The two fullbacks in particular have been awful, Ayling and Firpo.

McKennie has been totally anonymous and clearly is thick as mince (stupid yellow).

Roca has done nothing

Bamford's link and hold up play the things he did well vs Brighton have been poor.

Aaronson has done nothing.

Wober has saved us multiple times.

I think changes are needed.

Oh and our shots from free kicks are the worst I've ever seen.

God I miss Pablo and Raph.

Not sure how we're in front but we are.
Wober has been immense at the back.
Bamford really poor first half and our free kicks around their box are embarrassing.
Huge second half coming up.

Very very fortunate to be leading . Shooting is pathetic except for Harrison goal of course. Freekicks in v god positions sailing high n wide. We can't hold the ball up front with defenders behind . Wolves are way above us in quality like so many other teams down there. Apart from that we're just about holding on but JG needs to strengthen midfield as we are getting run ragged.

Needs shoring up in the centre of the park. Not too sure who we can bring on, Gyabi's energy and pace would have been ideal in this situation. Gray is a big gamble, but given 15-20 mins when they're tiring could work.

I'd be tempted to put Cooper or Struijk on for Aaronson and go 3 at the back. Take some pressure off Luke and Junior who are on yellows...

This is going to be a long second half if we don't make some changes in tactics or players.

Fewest touches by any Leeds player in the first half Jack Harrison with 15. He scored the goal. But spent most of the time covering for Luke Ayling. His heat map confirms this.

Marc Roca 27 touches and 89% passing.

Weston McKennie 21 touches and 83% passing.

We made a really good start to the game. Nice play for the goal.

Lost control in midfield after that. Seriously. Our midfield just disappeared.

Around 36 minutes we got it back. Looked like Aaronson started dropping a little deeper and making some interceptions. Think we should make a tactical change to 4-3-3

Our lack of technical ability is woeful. How many piss poor long range shots

Thought McKennie's yellow was ridiculous. He didn't do much but get bumped to the ground by a Wolves player.

Not sure why Greenwood isn't on bench. I'd be adding him as a third midfielder in the 2nd half.

Not a bad move. I'd probably bring on Cooper and put Wober in the Adams role.

Stats sound good. But on watching, our midfield was non-existant for most of the 1st half.
