    Could the players be feeling the pressure from a big home crowd?

    Lasogga looks 10 years older than glory

    Morning 20:20, the only player we have that has the pace to get past players is Sakho but unfortunately I do not believe he is good enough

    At least he’s had an impact

    Not really that fussed about him but he must look at Preston in the table and sigh

    Agreed I thought of him and he isn’t

    It’s not just speed though, Eddie gray and Cooper used to destroy defences, they were fast enough but it was skill going past people that did it

    Morning Milky, it took Leeds ages to get into the game having gone behind so early. Easiest way to describe it is like a boxer being stunned by an uppercut

    As you say Alioski can't cope with being tightly marked, I think I would try him at left back where he could attack from deep free from the shackles of being marked.

    Morning all...

    Wood was different to Lasogga because he missed a few chances at the start but his physical presence, his willingness to go in for the ball and his effort were all far greater. Lasogga isn't going to get balls to his feet from 6 yards out and unless that happens he isn't going to get goals unless they fall fortunately to him. No threat in the air, no pace, no physical presence and doesn't find the space.

    It's all well and good saying he needs the ball to feet but when he is camped on the shoulder of a CB how is that supposed to happen?

    Yes Ell I did notice how he pulled out of that header as did the Sky pundits <ok>

    I'm with Stephen, given up trying to work out where it has broken and now wishing even more we had gone for the win against Leicester.

    Cant see you getting anything other than a good hiding from Derby

    0-4 or 0-5 very possible you might not even get a shot on target all game <laugh>

    Considering we do not have any white players that are able to get past that opposition, I am absolutely amazed that Dallas has not had any starting opportunities.

    Morning Ell. I think, as many mentioned last season when debating Green, we miss his ability to organise the defence in front of him. Neither felix nor lonegran seems to do that.
    Like others have said, lassoga needs the service, we've seen he can finish.
    Also think this is the most average championship for a long time, which is why all are dropping points (we're 5th but only three points above 12th). Sheffield united are still playing with the momentum of coming up, bit like we did the first season back so I'm interested to see if they also fall away. Whatever, anyone going up is going to have to spend a shed load of money to stay up.

    Morning Elland, yep they looked stunned alright. Thing is we looked good at the wendies until they scored then we fell apart. Same at Cardiff.

    At least with Millwall we had the consistency to start dreadfully and maintain that level throughout!

    We need winners who take umbrage at teams scoring against us and come out more determined to turn it around. Not ones who start bricking it.

    Well he was a career left back... though apparently not a particularly good one! Take your point though... at least he’s left footed and has played there.
