Hopefully we really did see the start of the future today - to turn the gutless show v Wigan round into that result, and a performance that deserved it, in just a few days is a massive statement of character from any manager. Not afraid to make changes, tbh it didn't feel like Gary was afraid of too much today.
Great stuff, 9* from me

10 from me,
I've slated him for some decisions thus far but Berahino was excellent in that role, and I'd have never advocated playing him a number 10 before, smart enough to drop Fletcher and Etebo proved to be inspired.
Went out there to make it difficult for them so we could get a result, which we'd all but gotten before they had a man sent off, then when they were down to ten men gave the team a license to play some good football and build up their confidence. Waited to sub late too so they could stay cohesive then made attacking subs.
We desperately needed a result today, and it was a convincing one.

9, line up bang on, can't really rate his subs as he could have taken anyone off today we where that much in control in the end.

A generous 6* from me.
Not sure how much of it was us and just how much of it was them being shit and not pressing us at all.
Not happy we didn't score against a wank 10 men with 30 minutes to go.

First eleven selection was wrong.
A needed 3 points versus a very very poor team who then went down to 10 men. Yes I know you can only beat who is in front of you but some perspective. Ultra wank QPR beat the team who handed us our arse in the week.
It's going to be a long tough season.

9 from me - pretty much everything spot on
Would have left Bojan on the bench though - but it didn't cost us
Sorry state of affairs to have both Flecther and Adam sat on their backsides - surely some youth on the bench would be better

8. Good performance admittedly against a very poor team and a much needed win. Loses a couple of marks for starting Crouch who simply doesn't work as a starter any more and hasn't for a long time. He was pretty anonymous and limited the movement of our forward line. Not sure why Afobe was dropped? He's always a threat and can actually finish. Was he carrying a knock? Score goes up to 9 if he was rested rather than dropped.

So it's Rowetts fault crouch missed a sitter to make it 3-0.. that would've made it a standard 6 rather than a generous one?.. would 10-0 make it a 7? I just don't know what your greviences to give him a " generous 6"? |

We should've totally gone for it. I feel the way we set up was decent, but I also think your average Leeds would've smashed us all over again, so it's hard to say what was Rowett and was simply just the players. Glad for the win but I think 6 is fair all things considered. |

Laughable sheep H We got smashed 3-0 by Wigan and to pick the players heads up after that 3 days after is some good management, we won, we kept a clean sheet, they didn’t have a shot on target, made the right subs, and we had 65% possession, that is a solid 10 |

Solid against a poor team.

Bigger challenges ahead, but we are off and running.

I'll take a win all day, and maybe I'm being harsh in the circumstances, but the football is boring me to tears.
I like Rowett as a bloke. He's direct and to the point but to date his football is dire.
I'm hoping that Woods, given what I've seen of him at Brentford (albeit on TV), will add an extra dimension.
Huge win though, absolutely huge.

Not really an 8 for me(not that good) but let us put this into perspective we have won 1 competitive game of football in 2018 and were spanked by one of the relegation favourites on Wednesday - we won a fecking game of football something I doubted we would ever do again.
He gets an extra 2 marks for playing Etebo over Fletcher. Great game by Etebo and he has to keep that form up for us. Thank god Williams was suspended and Indi was back. As it looks like we are not going to get another centre-half in this window both Indi and Shawcross have to stay fit for the rest of the season also.
Still huge issues with our defence, but Martina had a decent game, Etebo has far more energy than Fletcher and we have Clucas and Woods waiting in the wings, Clucas apparently a decent utility player who is capable of filling in defensive areas.
Was always going to be a slow start/process with so many things needing to change and the worry was/is that with so many changes and unrest in the changing room that it could go horribly wrong.
I for one could not have predicted we would win a game of football today and keep a clean sheet in the process - so fecking brill and the team looked like they had been working hard on the training ground, so a bit of hope for us and a heartwarming performance/victory

The fact that we were able to put crosses in, get balls into the hole wouldve made it a good excercise to put them both in With a freer, flatter role both up front as opposed to Saido waiting for scraps from knock-downs to Afobe - which is what those pairings have consisted of in the other games.* |

Started well and seemed at last to have some purpose going forward. However, once we scored we went into our shell and let get Hull get back into the game, classic lack of confidence. Started the second half better and looked reasonable against a poor side but didn't press on for the kill against 10 men.
