YEP fans' jury: Leeds United will have to axe old habits in order to cut Forest down to size

But all expect lessons to have been learned and, if coach Marcelo Bielsa can rev up his stretched squad, then Nottingham Forest will feel the back lash on New Year’s Day.

Here are the jurors’ thoughts. What do you think?

I think it’s safe to say not many of us were expecting that as Leeds’ best run in over a decade came to an end against Hull.

On the whole, Leeds weren’t poor but Hull ‘had their number’ from the start and executed their game plan perfectly.

In truth, Leeds played right into their hands with the Tigers’ wingers breaking at pace at every opportunity.

Jarrod Bowen showed exactly why he’s rated so highly, while Kamil Grosicki was a constant threat on the other wing.

United will undoubtably learn the lessons of that style and come out fighting at Nottingham Forest tomorrow where they’ll have to be sharper in front of goal to win.

On Saturday the passing wasn’t as crisp and the willingness to shoot from distance wasn’t there but, after 25 Championship games, Leeds have only lost four and we would’ve all taken that in August.

It’s said that it’s usually December when the wheels come off for Leeds.

Let’s just hope they’re in the pits.

Man of the match: Pablo Hernandez.

Leeds under Marcelo Bielsa have banished many demons already in what is still only a few months together but against Hull we saw glimpses of ‘old Leeds’ as we failed, for the ninth consecutive season, to win our final game of the year.

Old Leeds also had a habit of producing a surprise defeat just when everything looked to be going well. A home game against the Tigers, even Tigers in decent form, shouldn’t have proved as difficult as it was, with Leeds having seven consecutive wins behind them and Hull being without Elphick and Irvine.
