0-0
Sounded like we were on our last legs towards the end so I suppose it's a point gained. Winnable game though so an opportunity lost, but seems we just have too many players in the first team that are not match fit at the moment.
Look forward to the feedback from those there

@jdklufc: A shit game played by two shit teams #lufc #cafc
Incidentally Fraeye's successor at Hamme has really turned them round - they were dire under KF but unbeaten in six since and really motoring up the Belgian Third Division table!!
Evans gets rounder by the day.
On to Turf Moor .. Burnley have lost a lot of good players lately and are right out of form recently .. that game and the one at Brissol will show how we are really making out .. I am REALLY looking forward to seeing both games .. COME ON YOU ADDICKS !!
Reza played well as did Solly and Henderson.
Point gained.
Can't be bothered going through every player; thought all played okay but a word for Harry Lennon who looked like he'd been in the team for years-a really assured performance.
What a player Lookman is though, really hope we can hang onto him in January.
not a lot in up till then.
impressed by THD, Lennon and Lookie.
red was bald.
Otherwise promising work from Lennon, cousins, Diarra, Fox has to be in trouble as THD had a good if not spectacular game which is better than the normal spectacularly bad moments fix can serve up. Lookman looks real quality.
Good day out only missing a goal for us, thank goodness it wasn't a goal to them.
"What? The palindrome of Bolton is Notlob."
The wind for the last half an hour made it difficult to clear our lines, and Leeds were energised by their second half substitutions, and during that spell they had chances and hit the post and their own players from their opportunities.
So we could have lost, but then again we could have won but for a good goalkeeping display from the Leeds keeper. We also had more imaginative attacking play than Leeds generally, but crucially we were not able to finish good approach interaction.
We had to adjust without Bauer, and wind notwithstanding I thought Diarra was very good, especially so for the first hour, and Lennon assisted with an assuredness about him, he was less worrying than Sarr would've been. I also thought Solly Henderson and THD were pretty good, indeed a much improved Solly from the Ipswich game.
Jacko was not a great influence, and Cousins huffed and puffed, Vaz Te was a presence but not a danger. JBG was improved, and some of his turns in the second half were sublime, mind you he was outdone for touch and skill by Lookman who was very good throughout.
I also enjoyed a more committed performance from Reza who I thought played well, and with intelligence. I might be wrong but Reza stayed on his feet for the whole time he played, and did not point to everybody and everything trying to put the game to rights, indeed he was not above putting it about and he got booked.
Talking of bookings there were at the very least five for Leeds, who have quickly become a team moulded in the Steve Evans image we know and loathe. Great support as usual from the Leeds fans.
I definitely feel the windy conditions made the football tricky for everybody, but a draw on what we saw was a fair result, but a million miles still from good enough.
Reza shooting from 30 yards twice with a shot that was hit with the aggression of a hard pass was absolutely unforgivable... Still worked hard though.
Lennon really held his own against Wood. Definitely not a handicap having him in the team which was very reassuring.
Vaz Te definitely contributes, like having him in the team.
Lookman is decent, offers the same kind of thing as Tony Watt, but without being a complete twat.
Liked the role that Cousins was playing, dipping into the gap whenever a defender went for something, he played the role well, but I feel he can be better deployed a bit further up the field.
All in all a boring game, no real criticisms of anyone.. No real heroes either.
pretty decent. We looked to keep possession and at times we looked dangerous in the final third.
Aside from a twenty minute spell in the second half we looked fairly comfortable.
Notable mentions to Lennon who looked very assured and Lookman who was a thorn in their side throughout. How many Leeds players got yellows for fouls on him?
Certainly an improvement on the Ipswich game without suggesting we have the squad to push on with any real verve.
However end to end apart from last 15, Vaz te and lookman very promising.
Badly need a proper manager who understands football, let alone English football we are so unfit it's embarrassing.
it reflects great credit on the youth set up that we can bring these kids in and they don't look out of place in the slightest.
