Well we made hard work of that but at this stage of the season I will take a below average performance and 3 points over a superb performance and a draw.
At times we made Bolton look good whilst we just looked a bit flat to be honest. Pontus was excellent, Kiko solid an very reassuring, Pablo was Pablo, Bamford was a threat and I liked what Roberts did today always wanting the ball and he made some lovely runs but didn't always get found.
Alioski was poor his crossing is woeful, he hardly ever beats the first man and when you have a lack of pace to go with it then you do not bring a lot to a team. I thought Harrison did ok as did Cooper .
We lacked pace all over the field today and I thought our play in general was slow.
Bolton are struggling yet KP was employed deeper and deeper during the game and at times it just seems to pass him by.
It would be nice to bang a few goals in during the first half so we can enjoy the second but this is Leeds.

Despite the goal today, I've not been a fan of Alioski all season. I think he's poor. Whilst playing in defence he is average. When playing anywhere else, he's poor. I really think he's holding us back. I know there's people on here who don't rate KP, but I'd pick KP over Alioski any day.

Alioski crossing is poor but he still had a reasonable game. Too many players in this team lack an end product. However, their general and build-up play very good thanks to Bub. Our automatic promotion prospects are going to depend on 2 players imo, Pablo the Creator and the Duke of Bamfordshire. They're the class in the team moving forward. I still wish to see Shack replace Luke and Halme get more minutes at the expense of Cooper.

Alioski is in a Leeds shirt and gives everything
He will do for me.

I love Alioski! He deserved a bit of luck with the goal! If you saw him being interviewed at the end of the game yesterday, he had given absolutely everything! To me he is the embodiement of team before self. Love the pride he shows in wearing the shirt, love the way he squares up to people 4 ft taller and 2 ft wider, love the fact he’s the first one to support a battling teammate. He always picks himself up and keeps on trying. Covers an incredible amount of ground in a game. In my view he is a great supporting asset to this team.

Good post George. Pablo was back to his majestic self yesterday, some sublime touches. Bamford and him need to really get used to each other and they can be a killer combination. You are right about Shacks and Aaapo, two games coming up this week, nice to see Bielsa using the resources a bit .

What's SuperCooper done wrong to be replaced? He, along with the Yorkshire Pirlo, have been outstanding this year despite the abuse they have had in previous seasons.

Staffy Cooper done very little wrong. I simply believe Halme better and he seems to have a knack of scoring goals at set plays. Reminds me of David Wetherall.

Halme better George? On what basis do you say that? He’s played less than a handful of games and yet you say he’s better than Cooper. Very strange statement.

Cork I believe Halme has more talent and after a run in the side would prove to be a slight upgrade on Cooper.
