    Had a discussion today
    And we chose ndong in favour of catts
    Maybe when McNair comes on as sub and then stakes a place
    We could replace catts with McNair

    Id start McNair and play him for at least 60mins. Hes played 3 times for the U23s, he should be fine now and hopefully like a coiled spring ready for a return.

    I didn't see that tbh.

    I haven't seen the goals, except live, so can't comment.

    It just looked like a wind assisted shot that went in the top corner to me.

    Will these Leeds fans ever learn, their attitude was the same in 1973 FA Cup until SUNDERLAND gave them a football lesson they will never forget , it was the begining of the end for them

    4-3 to us. I am still blotto tho so I reserve the right to post a sensible score later.

    I'm past that stage and at the thumping headache one...I think there will be goals at both ends it seems to be a feature of us.

    Still a little hungover but am sticking with my original score and going out in half hour or so to get some more ale. Happy days.

    Good effort isn't it.

    I'm never drinking again, well not until tonight anyway.

    Hope more than expectation that we'll get the win that we need today, can see us causing them problems but we just don't seem to be able to defend properly.

    I reckon it could be a high scoring draw today.

    Totally! Our defence since Sam left has been as bad as I've seen. It's worth a mention that the cover from midfield has been utter gash also this season.

    We have goals in the team even without any regularly fit strikers. If Short, Bain or Grayson has a brain cell between them they would suspend this austerity were currently implementing and actually spend money on the defensive side of the team in January. Seriously what difference would spending say 5m on 2 or 3 proven and experienced championship defenders make to the balance sheet? Surely not enough to offset the positive effects it would have on the squad.

    If we can get that defence sorted we can still make the top 6, it has been done loads of times but 1-1 today.

    Fair enough, I don't rate Gibson but he's worth a try while McNair isn't quite ready. Credit to Grayson for realising the problem with Cattermole, doesn't sound like a big deal but it's amazing how many managers we've had who are blind to things that are glaringly obvious to the fans.
