... can someone please explain why we have been playing a midfield of Bridcutt Hammond Crofts + Dicker.

Ok so it's definitely 2 points dropped.
But at least they were dropped with some quality, style, aggression and intent.

I'm going to be bold and suggest that we'll start on tuesday night with 3 of those 4.

I would hope and pray that tonight has told Gus all he needs to know about what we can do to teams when we attack them, but you just never know...

Cracking performance, Orlandi magic for most of the game, made a real difference for me, but travesty of a result. How Leeds have walked away with a point and not a tonking is not something I can comprehend!!

Somewhat tarnished by his shocking miss, but remove that and he was definitely better than what we've seen over the last few weeks.

I thought he was the spark in our midfield tonight, creative, always in space, chances, setting up chances, until he faded after 70mins or so I thought he had his best performance in an Albion shirt so far. He'll be starting the next game for sure.

We will play worse than we did tonight in the future & win

Exactly my thoughts, I cannot for the like put my finger on it but something is missing in the jigsaw puzzle but not sure where.

Great game tonight - we entertained

Crofts for Hammond, and untie him from Bridcutt.

Rotate Barnes.
This isn't a Barnes persecution, for which NSC is so fond of, but Orlandi, Lopez and KLL need to be used more.

Trouble is Crofts has been totally underwhelming since injured in my view.

As the trains conspired to ensure I missed the KO were KLL and Davids on the bench ?

Is it just me or I thought we played a 4-2-2-2 tonight with Barnes as a striker? I may be wrong but this is what I think it looked like.

Spanish Dave was.

Crofts has been overrun in midfield, by his own team.
Had he been playing I think he would have properly bitched it.
Not that Hammond was a spare wheel, but I think Crofts would have raised the tempo still further.

I assume Bridders is out Tuesday as 5th yellow ?

Is that the miss where he was flagged offside, even though he wasn't, and therefore wouldn't have counted anyway.
No first half coming in from the West.
Looked incredibly casual and put it over, unmarked.
