Be interesting to see how we set up on Saturday against Leeds. Away at a front foot team like Sunderland, you inevitably set up to defend for long periods and set traps on the break. Stoke played out much like most of last season's home games (although we let them have a bit more of the ball when in the lead). QPR, not dissimilar to some of the away games we struggled in last season (Bristol Rovers, Cambridge), just with a bit of extra defensive concentration on our part.
Leeds likely to be something else, I'd guess? Going to have some genuine Premier League quality players in there and likely to try and dominate. Wonder if we'll look more like we did at Sunderland or try and impose ourselves like against Stoke.

Yeah it's an interesting conundrum McKenna has on his hands. It might depend on whether Sinisterra and Gnonto come straight into the Leeds side.
