Regular Vital Leeds contributor erni is filling in for Tiny T for this game and gives us his player ratings in the opening day defeat to Derby County.

Kasper Schmeichel 9 Man of the Match
Beaten at his near post for first goal by a fierce shot but otherwise faultless

Paul Connolly 6

Got forward well and was our best defender. Good engine.

Richard Naylor 3
Was shaky from the off and constantly under pressure and putting the rest of the team under pressure. Time to go.

Neil Collins 5
Constantly covering for Naylor, but often playing statues in the middle

Federico Bessone 3
Looks prepared to go forward but loses the ball too much and passing and defending awful.

Lloyd Sam 6
Looked good until the penalty and was always prepared to play himself out of trouble instead of hoofing the ball.

Kilkenny 4

Don`t really know what he was supposed to be doing. Totally ineffective in live play but decent dead ball delivery

Howson 6
Started brightly but lost the ball for their first goal, created our second but faded out in second half.

Bradley Johnson 6
Kept trying in the centre of midfield and was on hand to help in defence and willing to shoot. Passing not good.

Sanchez Watt 7
Worked hard especially first half and showed great skills in controlling instantly and intelligent passing. Faded in the second half.

Lucciano Becchio 6
Worked hard with little reward. Took his goal well but in truth was easily contained by Derby central defence. Too much diving still.


Cheers for those erni.
