This is the key point for me. I think we are perfectly capable of giving Leeds just as much ball as Wigan did, again based on performances so far. We are not keeping hold of the ball as we did last season, we are not attacking with flair and creativity and we are not kicking well (though to be fair we have been consistently inconsistent in that regard, so that much probably hasn't changed!). Whether this is just early season jitters or new coach phenomenon or too many youngsters all playing at once or a sign of things to come I don't know, but up to now, even though we have won 4 out of 5 (and on paper we look better than this time last year given our losses back then), we just don't look anywhere near the team we were when we are on the pitch.
I hope Potter and the lads pull it out of the bag on Friday, obviously, but I'm just not confident that they will given that there haven't really been any signs of it so far.
