There is an element of recency bias in the meltdown because very few people are recognising
00:15
that this was a first defeat in nine outings and Leeds have only lost twice in the league
00:21
so far this season. It's not like this is happening every week. If it was happening
00:27
every week Daniel Farker wouldn't be here anymore but the fly on the ointment for Leeds
00:35
is that this can happen and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Last night Farker said
00:41
it wasn't so much decision making but a lack of awareness, a lack of anticipation in the
00:47
final third and when I asked what's the answer to this he said to get three points in the
00:52
next game which I don't think is a great response because the next game is at home.
01:02
You're expected to win at home particularly against QPR. It's a completely different situation.
01:07
What I was hoping was that he would have some tactical insight or training insight as to
01:15
what Leeds could do to eradicate the problems that they face when faced with a great big
01:22
bank of two players and a 1-0 deficit because we have seen it before. Part of me wonders
01:30
that the tone I took for the verdict was perhaps Leeds were a little bit predictable in their
01:39
play when faced with that scenario. I like the urgency with which they came out in the
01:45
second half because they were straight at it. They created maybe a chance and a couple
01:50
of half chances, a little flurry and there was a little flurry in the first half as well
01:55
but beyond that there were large stretches of the game where they had the ball but they
02:00
couldn't create with it.
