Defeat to high flyers provides lots of food for thought

It’s one win in 11 league games after loss at Leeds

- 

Prior to this game, I did not really expect us to pick up any points from a tough away fixture against arguably the best side in this year’s Championship.

Although I disagreed with some of the raucous home fans who proclaimed that their team were also the ‘Champions of Europe’, they proved to be the formidable opponents I had expected.

After watching this game, I thought that - on another day-they could have won at a canter, by more than their single-goal margin.

That they did not do this was down to a combination of some good defending on our part, coupled with some poor finishing on theirs, with also a pinch of good luck.

To our credit, having managed to stay in the game following some attacking second-half substitutions, we even had some home fans on pins in the closing stages.
