If Big Mick was still in charge 15:17 - Dec 23 with 855 views | GlasgowBlue | We'd follow that demoralising result up byt parking the bus and grinding out a draw. Can't see McKenna doing likewise but we really can't afford to get spanked against Leicester, who are just as dangerous as Leeds on the counter attack. I would try and beef our defence up at the expense of Broadhead and play three against Leicester on Boxing Day. Still very attacking with wing backs and Chaplin in behind Hirst. | |

If Big Mick was still in charge on 15:22 - Dec 23 with 804 views | pointofblue | The issue with that is the space Leeds had out wide today. If Leicester follow the same approach, then playing wing backs will just make it worse - especially if there will be expectation of Clarke and Burgess to cover those positions, as they struggle with that. We'll also be very light up top, with only Chaplin and Hirst as the outright attacking players. Woolfenden will be back for Tuanzebe; perhaps Williams for Clarke (although there are rumours going around about his relationship with McKenna). Otherwise, I don't expect any other changes. | |

It's not a radical change. It's a system that McKenna played for his first twenty+ games. He used to change team and formation quite a lot depending on the opposition. | |

I don’t think the formation/system has been changed much this season. Even when the subs are used that doesn’t change. | | | |

No, and it seems churlish to criticise that considering we're second and seven points clear of a high budget Leeds and (seemingly soon to be) Southampton. But I think, at this level, we need a Plan B, especially away to the top sides. | |

But can we stop referring to this horrendous part of our history please. I wouldn’t mind him half as much if he didn’t get so much air time. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

It's only a horrendous part of our history because of the disgraceful actions of some of the fans. In truth, we did reasonably well for the most part under him. Would have been interesting to see how he would have managed the club with Gamechanger like investment. | |
