for the first 20 minutes we played them off the park. I was amazed at the lack of pressing

from them, given the hype. They looked poor. Nothing wrong with our tactics then. Then we conceded poorly and lost confidence, dropped off, and they scored again. As usual, we played the opposition back into the game.

Learning how to defend without missing attacking opportunities is where we've failed, and where Leeds are succeeding
