Morning Leeds-in for 30 April: Paul Heckingbottom calls for a “change in mentality”

Paul Heckingbottom had some thoughts after the loss at Norwich City.

Speaking after the match, Heckingbottom said:

We have to change the whole mentality of the group, definitely.

There are too many loose balls, 50-50s, not won. I know when we look at the physical stats the boys will have run.

But when we look at the challenges and duels, we won’t be coming out on top. That’s a mentality thing. That’s what we have to change.

Gee, Heckingbottom, if you wanted a better “mentality,” maybe you should have included a few of the U23s who would have left everything on that pitch.

On to the links.
