    I totally agree I switched links off 20 mins ago. How's the new winger doing Elland.

    Leeds not scoring on their chances is becoming a joke

    We had a £40m one in Nketiah yet he did little when given the chance, whilst I agree we desperately need an out and out goal scorer you can’t blame it all on Bamford. Pablo, Klich, Alioski and specially Costa and Harrison are equally as guilty of missing chances and not scoring enough

    The problem is that Wigan haven't tired in the 2nd half. I cannot believe how poor our final ball is! Unless all their defenders are blond black guys they must be passing to him.

    I heard the EFL are about to make a statement about Casilla's racism charge. Leeds punishment is that Casilla must play he next 12 games for Leeds

    They get a corner and they put two guys on Casilla, we get one and there's no one near their keeper. And their delivery was exceptional.

    Another fantastic exhibition of possession football and fantastic inventiveness around the goalmouth

    Big Kev must be fuming then. I really do not rate Bielsa and I am not on a wind up.

    I think we have to stop blaming the players every time to me it’s gone beyond that we should start looking at who is responsible for the way we play. Guess who?
    Sorry but getting fed up of watching the same old same old every week

    Teams just play for set pieces against us, they all know we have a major weakness with Kiko and corners or crosses and they do a number on him. I genuinely can’t see us going up again at the minute, the pressure gets to us at home.

    Bielsa needs to shake this up (but we know he won’t) Dallas is totally irrelevant in midfield, play him wide or drop him. Our entire attack, drop them all and most important let’s drop Kiko for a game or two.

    This isn't coincidental anymore guys. I know they work hard but the front 3 are getting golden chances every game. Not one or two but by the boatload. It's now obvious to me that Bamford and Harrison are clearly snatching at chances and accept they will miss before they even make contact. That's a confidence thing. Same at the other end with Kiko. His heads gone. Literally doesn't know whether he is coming or going now.

    This is the time to mix it up. Stick Poveda on instead of Harrison and stick Big Kev on instead of Bamford. Get Meslier playing instead of Kiko. We can have Harrison and Bamford ready to come on at the hour mark and it may be that up against tired defences and they are fresh that some opportunity for confidence might appear. It would make us stronger in the run in and could turn this run around for us by shaking it up.

    I think it's now or never. This isn't a knee jerk reaction. This is plain and obvious for everyone to see!

    Can't defend him anymore,Edmondson has to be better than Bamford, in fact I'm better.

    I know I’ve just said we need to shake up the front line, including Costa, Harrison and maybe even Pablo but what would you all have done different today?

    I have a feeling you’re all going to say play Augustin yet not a single one of us has seen him play?

    Slight bit of luck is Forest lost, but Fulham hung on for a win.

    But he's not on the pitch. We get loads of possession and create countless opportunities that the players, for some reason, can't take. It must be very frustrating trying to turn sows ears into silk purses
