Footballing tactician I am not, but; I suspect that a game of four halves with up to 5 subs stoppages is going to help our opponents, by stopping us from getting our tempo up for long enough. Further, missing chances all the time is one thing, but actually saving for the other side just sums him up. Bamfs, a grafted by all measures, but a goalscorer he is not. The club need to draw a line on his chapter in the club's history and sell him asap. Bielsa's loyalty will cost us and we need to sell Bamford and replace. We have had and sold better. He is not indespendible.

I saw enough to be positive about our fitness and ball retention but we need to again work on our final ball as it was woeful. Teams returning from lockdown will utilise defensive tactics whilst they try and build their match fitness. Unfortunately we struggle against teams that pack defences and there were too many hopeful crosses knocked into the box. Wingers need to beat players to draw the centre backs out of position. Roberts needs to protect the ball more as he was careless with possession and Bamford need pressure from the bench in order to hit the work rate required. I just felt that we played to Cardiff's strengths with our final ball and missed a golden opportunity to put some distance between ourselves and the chasing pack however all is not lost.

Roberts plays like it's a training match at times, does some goods things but not much in the final 3rd of the pitch. Bamford has frustrated us all season, sadly he has no competitor for his place at leeds, even when he did he got the nod. Bamford only hope of staying at leeds is if we don't get promotion.

Well a least I don’t have to eat my hat, but still hopeful, come on Leeds let's pick it up and go again.

There were a few things not quite right today but glaringly obvious was our final pass and final decision.

Yep Leodis. Crossing, and final ball were very poor.
