    But don’t we always say no point in keeping a players who’s not happy. I’ve no idea though. Just throwing out an alternative possibility

    He likes to talk to the refs too and needs to keep away.

    Don't know mate.

    I've commented about his lack of pace but have always said he has quality, potential and an eye for goal.

    Teddy Sheringham was slower than me for example.

    And at this level, those little decisions add up to quite alot. The margins are so fine.

    When Gnonto got round Aurier and he stood on his boot and the foul wasn't given, Gnonto was away and heading deep in to the box at the byline. That was a great chance or a foul, a free kick in a dangerous area and a booking for a full back under pressure. Instead it was a goal kick to Forest and a relief of pressure.

    10 minutes later Gnonto ran at him again. Aurier levelled him stopping another promising attack and was booked. He wouldn't have made that tackle if he'd been booked earlier and if he did it would have been a red card. Instead he was allowed to stop a promising attack with a professional foul. So he essentially got away with stopping two Leeds attacks for the price of one.

    Meanwhile Struijk was instantly booked for the foul that led to the goal even though Johnson was offside when the pass was played. That should be our free kick. Instead they go one up.

    That's just how it's going for us at the moment. I know it will change eventually but I'm also in agreement that the run of results is unacceptable. Things have to change soon and that's why I think we are due to get something in the next couple of games against scum even though they are better than us. We are just due something to go our way.

    I was ribbing. Think there’s a player there but not as a lone striker in our system. Maybe days like today where sides have dug the trenches in, and pace and pressing are irrelevant, his fire and x-factor could have helped.

    Bielsa was a gentleman and would never comment on referees or get involved. Todays ref was the same one who sent Jesse off, it would be hard not to hold even a slightest grudge or ignore the 50/50s I’m not saying it’s right but it must happen

    It has to turn… but man we’ve been waiting a while. Feel Jesse got the breaks last year - but had fck all this year and we’re 20 games in. We even hold the record for most consecutive fa away cup draws ever, I blame ristac for sticking all those needles in his jessse doll.

    If that 'foul' by pascal was a booking then the game has gone an absolutely shocking decision by another poor ref, I must admit I am going further down the road of being totally pissed with the game, after seeing real blood and thunder games from yesteryear with also no little skill and flair from those players. the flame that once burned from the gelderd and later the family stand with my daughter's is slowly dimming to a flicker from the comfort of my lounge.....MOT

    I don't think he'll get the time for it to turn. The fans are panicking and impatient for wins. Fans are turning on each other and they'll turn on the board next.

    I genuinely think if Marsch goes then we've got even more chance of going down than if he stays. And then I can hold that against ristac forever. Oh...and Billy....especially Billy.

    The real pisser is that Johnson was offside before Pascal fouled him. It was our free kick.

    Sorry Milky but can't see the logic in that.

    The more likely outcome is that our current form and results continues until the end of the season.

    2 wins in 17 league games, he’ll probably beat Man U in the week and buy himself another 8 games without a win

    He has a 25% win ratio at Leeds over the 32 league games he’s been in charge of, with only 8 wins.

    To make that stat worse but more accurate he only has a 20% win ratio in the league this season with only 4 wins from 20.

    These are appalling stats and nobody is allowed to keep their job with that on their CV?

    Emu are you looking at the player circled, this was the one possibly offside the other player in the middle was coming back from an offside position.

    It’s the one circled who is questionable and it’s too close to call
