We're working better as a unit all over the pitch, making it easier for us to break down teams who set out to defend. We've got more pace options, getting us into better goal scoring opportunities. We've got two fit strikers who are playing well and scoring. We know the system better, so we're reading, managing and controlling games more effectively, reducing our vulnerability to counter attacks. We've recovered our confidence so we don't get put off our stride by setbacks. We've got a stronger bench, with a number of players who can come on and change a game. Players like Forshaw and Dallas have upped their game, going from useful squad fill ins to looking undroppable. Other than that, same old Leeds.

Maybe but you know what come May it is all about points scored, and we have less that at this point last time, and have scored less goals and kept less clean sheets.

It might look prettier but that is all it is. So far.

Well said - perfectly summed up.

Overall many if our chances are falling go the wrong player, but that is the system we play.

Looks like we will be top 6

The likes of Harrison, Alioski & Clarke should be able to shoot as they are all attacking players, Phillips is another one guilty of skying his shots. Douglas was renown for his shooting at Wolves an attribute we've seen nothing of, then there are Cooper & Bamford both tall lads who should be more dominant in the air at set-pieces but generally head high & wide.

Don't we practice this important facet of the game that wins football matches ?

Or are we intent on playing attractive football with minimal end product ?

As it is we are totally reliant on Hernandez & Klich scoring double figures with our main No.9 who is hit & miss nicking one here & there. Yes he averages one in two games but he never looked like scoring v Brentford, Forest & Swansea.

Bamford should have had at least five hat-tricks in his Leeds career!

Right now our kid from Arsenal has easily got the best minutes per goal ratio
