    It's almost as if we should have bought a striker?!

    If only we'd of thought of it!

    The most pleasing is that we kept Hoolahan quiet and Berra had Jerome pretty much in his pocket. Despite all the attempts on our goal there was never a sustained period when you dominated us. I thought once you scored you would go on and win the game but our amazing Bart had other ideas! He is the best Keeper in this league by far and we are very lucky to have him.

    FML, why the stupid comment about we'll go on to win the title now?

    You said AN was a bellend because we didn't win, all I asked was how could it be his fault when the team he picked should have scored 5 or 6 goals?

    It was the players letting him down and a world class keeper keeping us out. Strangely, the goal he conceeded was one he should have dealt with!

    The predictable soft goal conceded may have been prevented like countless others had we invested in a centre back too.
    In the transfer window we needed a centre back and a striker we bought Wildschut who has done nothing so far and not deemed good enough to feature today.

    He tore our defence apart when we played Wigan and I was relieved when he didn't appear in your line up today.

    We bought a striker but he is out injured after a run of scoring in pretty much every game!

    You have a far cheaper squad and know how to defend but have nothing going forward , on another day that nailed on pen would have been given and you would have won.
    You can celebrate another season in this league .

    We needed to obtain COVER for injuries in January.
    If Jerome gets injured or suspended we have 1 (one) left Lafferty who clearly isn't considered adequate by Neil.
    Nelson was bought before January.
    Exactly the same at full back too .

    Indeed. But at least we will be choking from a play off spot.
    Meanwhile delia gets less and less interested and you stagnate..
    We have been there and done that.

    Surely you're not comparing Delia to Peter Ridsdale? Nor your crooked Italian?

    Dijks Looked brilliant again today though! He got very lucky with what should have been a Pen, which was really stupid. Going forward, he looked strong and confident.

    But yea, yet again this window, we all knew we needed a Striker and a CB, and it's been proven again.

    I doubt Leeds will finish top 6 .
    Stagnate ? We have been up and down 3 times since Leeds were in the Premier league

    Couple of things the coaching team might consider working on to improve our chances of scoring

    1) Teach the players how to take a corner with the intention of at least having an attempt on the oppositions goal.

    2) Teach Tettey how to play the ball forward rather than backwards.

    3) Teach Hoolahan another trick other than the little turn he always does.

    4) Teach the team how to get the ball forward quicker when we counter attack.

    I told you why. Today wasn't a one off. It was our last 2 seasons summed up in 1 game.

    That's why. He learns nothing, and has one of the strongest squads in the whole league.
