We asked you how you would you solve the problem of a lack of goals for Leeds, after the Whites failed to find the net for the fourth successive match in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Brentford.

Here are some of your comments:

Alan: I feel that the wingers are not beating the full-backs and getting behind the defences often enough. This forces crosses to be made from deeper parts of the field. The central defenders cope with this easily. In frustration a lot of Leeds attacks are now ending in long-range shots with poor accuracy while under pressure. Some improved level of interpassing skill needs to be shown as well as greater shot accuracy. Shots on target are always at low values. A lot to develop in a short time. However, some invention is required, at corners particularly, to create better scoring opportunities.

Peter: Strikers good enough but they need chances creating. Wingers are not Premier League quality. We’ve been crying out for a creative player since Pablo Hernandez left.

Nick: Leeds need some creativity and to be a bit braver at home. Go back to the 4-2-3-1 formation with Ampadu and Stach as the two, Calvert-Lewin up front with Tanaka, Gnonto and either James or Okafor as the three. A back four of Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson and Bogle would complete the side, which will be a lot more creative and threatening than the formation and tactics currently being used. Away from home, go back to five at the back.

Dave: Leeds need to attack more and need to bench Nmecha. DCL needs a small, versatile attacker in support, either Okafor or Gnonto.
