Who makes way for McAtee? I'm not so sure that he walks straight into the team.

Whilst we could have done with his link up play at times today and closing down of the Halifax keeper, the people you would drop for him him also offer something valuable.

I don't think so. Nice balance, IMO.

Very harsh on Hunt that though. Hunt, Fox and Clifton were solid as a 3.

He is in a 2 with either Fox or Clifton.

All I can say is before the game I was fearing the worst but if we can play like that after Covid in the camp and key suspension/s the future is looking promising... UTM.





When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

You could see the desire in the players.  Sousa caused a lot of trouble, Pearson and Efete were outstanding.  Hunt's substitution was fortuitous but changed the game.  Crookes made a couple of wayward passes and looked a little nervous at first but stuck to his task well. Taylor did a fine job despite Halifax having their paws all over him.

Now, don't tinker too much.  Let those players play and grow in confidence.

I appreciate Coke works hard but for me he looks the sort of player you bring in woth 10 minutes to go when you’re defending a 1-0 away.

He wasn’t rubbish yesterday but it always feels like he slows the game down and at times he seemed to take too long, almost putting us under pressure.

I’m not scapegoating him nor am I suggesting he’s rubbish like others have but for me, Hunt gave us an injection of pace but even he at times was looking for that bit of pace around him, Mcatee gives you that.

McAtee is our best player by a country mile, as proven by how shite we’ve been since he’s been out.

He walks into this XI with his eyes closed, plenty of the players that played yesterday have had enough off days during that run to justify making way for him.
