Wins like Tuesday’s, when the majority of those wearing Leeds United white played well, make it quite easy to stick with what you have for the next match. The circumstances are going to be very similar given Elland Road will host another of United’s bottom-nine rivals with the same set of players available to pick from.
Luke Ayling and Brenden Aaronson were the only two who failed to catch the eye for the right reasons in midweek. The former has now had four consecutive matches with question marks hanging over his performance.
It was the vice-captain’s header which meekly fell to Emmanuel Dennis in the build-up to Nottingham Forest’s goal and there would be other errors after that too. Ayling showed character in coming back from those mistakes to put together a better second half, but, as was the case at the start of the week, it just feels like it’s Rasmus Kristensen’s turn.
