I'd say Williams is more of an attacking threat as well. Bell came with a reputation of being an attacking full back but he hasn't shown that so far in his time at Rovers. 

I suppose I should have said theoretically, Bell should be a better attacking option due to his pace. Bell's main flaw is his decision making, it just isn't very good at all. The positive is that it's something that can be worked on and should improve over time if he has an extended run in the team. At one point in the first half he made a great run through the middle of the pitch, but once in the final third seemed to have no idea what to do next and lost the ball, even though he had a couple of passes on.

Don’t get the bell hate, I prefer him to Williams. Reed is a quality little player, would love if we could make this perm. Evans Rudy. Smallwood the odd man out for me, looks every bit the lg 1 player I thought he was. Armstrong improving game on game

Yellow for Smallwood. I can see him coming off. Is Rodwell on bench?

Just checked. Rodwelli ison the bench. Alternative would be to drop Reed into dm there and bring Rothwell or Palmer on out wide. 

[BigBar]

Reed is a beast..some game so far from him

[Scotland1]

Dack had been poor today must be said, surprises me.

[Scotland1]

Rodwell for Smallwood.

A couple of nice touches in the first half but hasn't imposed himself on the game at all. Other than the early goal Graham hasn't been able to get into it either. Our best players by far have been Reed and Armstrong.

[BigBar]

Need Rothwell on..legs getting tired out there 

[Scotland1]

Bereton coming on.

[DE.]

Graham off for Brereton. Time for our £7m man to come on and change the game.

[Scotland1]

Graham off, Bereton on. What a chance to get his first goal.

[SoldierMo]

Brereton moved to right dack in middle...y

[DE.]

Brereton playing on the right, Dack is now essentially our striker. OK.

[Scotland1]

Bereton wide right, Dack up top.

That's odd. Why can't Brearton just come on and play upfront? 

[joey_big_nose]

Brereton has drifted wide right.looks like Dack through the centre. I don't really get it.

[matt83]

Dirty Leeds playing some good stuff here to be honest

[Bigdoggsteel]

Even Armstrong upfront... 

Good run by Brereton, but we need a focal point I feel 

Good position here 

[Scotland1]

Reed down.

[BigBar]

Get in!!!!!

Because Mowbray. Loves playing strikers on the wing.

[Scotland1]

Conway on.

[BigBar]

Fine Irishman ?
