Taking away the time Sheff Wed hit the woodwork, its point gain.
Leeds now sits deeper and allow teams to run at them and in the process created less chances.
The services in the final third dried up and Nketiah were left fending for himself by creating his own chances and even mopping up in defence.

Looks like Bielsa is still experimenting.

Only 5 points separate the top 11 teams and that is a big deal.
Leeds are not only not converting chances, they now have a gaping hole in midfield.
Leeds still have Forshaw and Hernandez out, but Klitch and Hernandez have not move out of their gears and have not had the best of season so far.
There are hardly any link up play in the final third with Dallas and Klitch ineffectual in the centre.
Add that to Bamford and Harrison, who are both ineffective, you must be wondering where the goals are coming from.

It was just about finishing previously, now the chances created have dried up as well. And Bielsa is still tinkering.

Yeah, it's so bad being 2 points off the top of the league, isn't it?
Sheff Wednesday away is the ONLY game this season, where Leeds have not fully deserved to win. Even so, they could have had 3 goals on another day. Bamford header (v. Good save), Alioski header (unlucky, hit post), Harrison shot (cleared off line). Any one of these goes in, Leeds win. Fine lines and all that isn't it.
The luck as got to change soon,because that's all that's holding Leeds back.
Mock Bielsa, mock Bamford, Klich, Harrison etc. Why the negativety?
Forgotten what Leeds were like before Bielsa came? It's Bielsa's system that's got the club going in the right direction, for the first time in 15 years.
The majority of the current squad are very average players, individually. They fit into Bielsa's system that's all. Look at last season. Whenever there was an injury, he just put in one of the academy lads in and they did okay, because they had been coached to fit into the system.
The poor return on goals to chances, is down to poor finishing, bad luck and good saves. Plus the best chances don't all fall to ONE player. They fall to a group of players in the same match.
One other thing, Leeds have conceded the fewest goals in the Championship, so something must be right, eh?
Next 5 games are highly winnable :
QPR, Blackburn, M'Boro Home and Luton and Reading Away.
Let's see how bad Leeds are doing after these. The injuries will hopefully cleared as well.
Think Positive. ??
 
Me thinks, we are are in for cracking November ,the fixtures are set up nicely for us,
 
It’s fine lines that decide in the Championship.
If it’s play-off to mid table, then this team is adequate.

But to get promoted, Leeds must be more than that, even if it is by far the better team in recent times.

It’s not about how stylish, how close, it’s about getting ball in the net that counts.
Keeper’s save may appear top drawer depending on the strike at goal.

Middlesbro, QPR Blackburn are games Leeds are capable of winning.
But what about life after that, when they must live with the likes of West Brom, Fullham, Swansea.
 
Need a good winning run like we did around this time last year. A bit of breathing space from the pack wpuld be a nice Christmas present.
 
Keep the faith,there is a flood of goals coming ,sat in second ,without bursting the net ,it’s not bad !,,
