Tiny T gives us his usual fans view of the game at Elland Road, this time after another hammering for Leeds United at the hands of Reading.

Butland 4
At fault for the first and second goals. He could do little about the other two though.

Lees 3
Always went long, he needs to have it in his game but not every time he gets the ball. Weak defensively.

Zaliukas 1
Poor most of the game and the third and fourth goals were down to him.

Pearce 4
Woeful for the first but always handy to cover for Zaliukas.

Byram 5
Got better as the game went on.

Murphy 6 Star man
Always willing to work, covered a lot of ground and the one who did dig in.

Austin 3
Goal of the season but one highlight does not make up for a lacklustre display.

Mowatt 3
Struggled but he is young enough to get over it.

Pugh 4
Worked hard but lacks pace.

Wickham 2
Needs to roll up his sleeves, for a big man he wins little in the air.

McCormack 4
Poor first half, he got better as the game went on.

Subs
Smith 5

Changed the game scoring again, why is he left out of the 11 to start.
Summary
A defensive nightmare between Butland and Pearce to gift the first goal. Poor Refereeing decision for the second. He gave a free kick for a foul missing the handball.

Third and fourth goals were down to Zaliukas with poor defending.

Smith comes on we win balls in the air, he gets a tap in and then a wonder strike from Austin [ goal of the season ]. Then 20 minutes of us going for it, trouble was we were 4-2 down by then.

McDermott is in a quandary. Whoever he selects and sets the team up with, when they cross the white line it`s as though they do the total opposite. Slow long balls cannot be how they want to start but that’s how it goes.

Burnley scout must have been drooling on how they will pick us off on Saturday. It will be just like us to go there and win
