Great atmosphere again at Elland Road, 34 k in the ground. Problem is we are gifting goals to teams and then not putting away our chances. It's such a fine line between good and winning performances. We're not that far away.
We've got a lot of possibilities going forward when you add Clarke and Edmondson into the possibilities.
Suspect we are going to have to cope without Ayling and Beradi for a bit. So important Douglas gets through the under 23 game ok on Monday.
Forest didn't deserve any more than a point.
Not getting much luck with injuries!

Okay, I'll mention it, did Pablo lose his passing boots?

Yes! It seems to be the curse of the creative player! Saiz Gad it in the last few games and he passed it onto Pablo. Nothing quite came off!

Couldn't believe it when Dallas was selected at left back. Bielsa may be good but he is stupid when selecting Dallas and we have gone back to conceding at set pieces. We eventually got it right a while back but he has changed the system again and now we are rubbish in that respect. Any team now know they can punish and win if they can hold out.

I don’t understand why he doesn’t trust Pearce more, he doesn’t seem to do a lot wrong when he has his chances.
Now we are going to have to rejig the defense again.
Let’s hope Douglas is back on the left and then Shackleton on the right?

IMHO Pierce did nothing after coming on, all the attacks seemed to come from the right, young Pierce seemed to be reluctant to go over the halfway line. Sub on, sub off about sums it up :)

Not great today, deserved a point I think.
Dallas was his usual self, bang average!
Alioski def better at full back. Pearce did ok.
Clarke looked to scare the opposition and did great.
Need to win some from now on. Someone has to break from the pack. Hope to god it’s not the blunts.
Izzy Brown is going to make us better.

When games grind to an impasse, as they did today then if Bielsa is, quite rightly, not afraid to make changes would it not be a need to bring on Edmundson as a different type of attacker. Either with or instead of Roofe. By impasse I mean, not that we did not have possesion but that we did not really look like scoring and albeit for a little bit of Roofey magic we would be crying over a lost point.

Now Clarke seems to have nailed down his bench place, It would need Edmundson to replace Roberts on the bench and not sure if he is ready to do that.

At the final whistle I think the result was the right one. Forest frustrated and we only played at 90%.

Bench Alioski, bring in Clarke he has shown today and the few minutes he had against Brentford that he is a good player. He is young but plays way beyond his years.

Totally agree re Clarke. He was great. But I think MB is managing it all well. Impact sub, rather than too much, too soon. The kid could be immense for years to come!

If we must play Alioski which it seems we must, then given that his final ball is woefull is his best postion Left Back? However when Douglas is fit then is there room for him anywhere?

Well that wasn't good enough first half, Dallas for me was awful as usual, I hope he proves me wrong in the second half. The goal for them again so soft from a corner. Maybe need Saiz on to give another creative option other than Hernandez. A massive 45 mins coming up.

Feel for forest with that goal, but will take it as a Leeds fan. Lots of huff and puff for us but created very little until the end. Said it earlier this would be a type of match like the Brentford match. Why can't we defend corners, no player from Leeds covering the post (schoolboy error) and once again poor quality of match officials. Yes we took a point but again had to do it by coming from behind. We need wins, too many draws.

I don’t feel for forest at all. We battered them. They time wasted too much, and that was going to be a goal no matter where it hit Roofe. It’s the most one sided draw I’ve ever seen.

Battered them? Oh yes we had a lot of possession. Only in the last 15-20 mins did we pay a glove on them.

We keep getting very one sided draws. We looked really good overall, but wasting chances and letting in very soft set pieces. Enjoyable though. Fair play to Roofe for his honesty, manager interview - as ever superb. MOT.

Yes. We battered them. They had one sniff and we defended it appallingly. They have a couple of good players, but we were by far the better team.
