    To be honest he was lucky the referee only spoke to him and a Palace player as I was sure he stuck his head on their player.

    I agree re pep but hes seen as the best manager in the world by most. My point was that whoever the manager is here is irrelevant. Its a player and mindset issue and always has been.

    As I said earlier, this was a repeat run of the Derby play off defeat. When the going gets tough, Leeds United give up. It's hard to stomach but it's the reality.

    Morning everyone we had no midfield to create anything yesterday. Adams was missed and weston i hope we do not sign. Roca, was getting stuck in and was trying. Aaronson was getting lots of stick in our area in the east upper. Honestly he is a kiddie in a mans game. Aaronson did no link up play and basically was taking up positions as an inside winger. Bamford was seen during the pre match warm up by a guy we chatted to after the game. He never stretched for anything or looked to and that tells me he is fooked and scared of injury once more.
    Meslier is not a top six keeper and should be sold this Summer. His kicking is very weak and sorry guys but he's not for me. Rodrigo came on and ended up mainly at ten when he should have led the line. Ayling is finished and I've always said he is slow and i was wrong he is pedestrian. Firpo was actually better than him yesterday. Koch was the standout in defence for me.
    So now we come to Jack slack Harrison. Whoever gave him that new contract i hope is planning to cash in. Never tried to go past anyone cos he is too slow. So why not play him at ten and play a winger like summerville or gnonto. Gracia fiddled yesterday while Elland Rd burned. Everyone in the ground could see changes were needed at half time. There were better players on the bench who would have fought more.
    Ayling will get mullered v Liverpool.

    I think what yesterday answered was Gracia might be a slight upgrade on what we had but our search for a new coach must continue. It’s hard to call who should be moved on and who we should keep (assuming we stay up) as we seem to have lots of ingredients but the mix just isn’t working

    We got proper fcked yesterday. After 20 odd minutes a side who never win without their star player completely took the piss out of us. It’s the only time this season we’ve been humbled… we’ve been well beaten a couple of times this season, but generally we’ve lost in close competitive games.

    You can get freak results when you chase a game from a losing position… but they just walked through us.

    … and this was at home to Crystal Palace. Crystal fcking palace.

    Utter shambles.

    These fckers owe everyone a positive reaction

    Won 3 away this season (Spurs, Villa and Newcastle). They don't want to finish too strongly, they'll get no praise for securing Thursday night footy for next season

    It's Zaha I feel sorry for - how's he going to get back in that team after that? <whistle>

    Well he is 30yo & injured, so why change the habits of a lifetime. Will £50m get him. We could offer him a 10 year contract on £250k a week!

    If rumours are true both are prolific scorers.

    That was abject. I really don’t know what to say. Losing at home 5-1 Crystal Palace is just about as low as it gets. Still, even though I say that’s it, I’ll be here next season bitching and moaning in the championship watching on Ell TV and Sky if the worst happens. The most worrying thing was how they seemed to be able to muscle us off the ball so easily.
