"I did not get the preparation right because I knew about Cardiff City's strengths and we didn't resolve it.

"We knew how dangerous they are in the air and from set-pieces. Set-pieces are crucial in this division and Cardiff made us pay in that area today.

"Some of our attacking play was the best I have seen from Leeds and It is difficult to explain the result. There is no way we should have drawn that game."

Hmm, but all three goals were scored from open play? Always described as a set piece team but this 'British' team have some skill too. Tomlin's flick for the third goal was sublime.

I even heard one Leeds fan call our goals hoof ball.... :lol: kin ell if that assist from Tomlin was hoofing then the game is done. If messi had done it we’d be talking about it for the next few weeks.

ITS basically same comments he made before game knowing way we played? Think problem was we didn't score in way he had thought we would? Also probably taking put context as he does not speak English to media always uses same guy to interprete...

We were very good at set pieces in out promotion season but not since then. I would say we are actually a bit worse than the average championship side at set pieces this season. The myth that we are a set piece team seems to have stuck from the promotin season.
