    Yes, let's get rid of our top scorer. Jesus Christ.

    This season is the best fun ever. Much better than the prem. I've got a ticket to Coventry away as live near there but in the home end with a mate. Can't wait!

    He's no good at crosses. Though he could give us the miracle we need

    So.after tonight, Leeds in third are 9. behind Ipswich, and 8 in front of 21st placed Huddersfield At this rate a total of around 65 points will secure a play-off place.

    Think people need to humble their expectations a bit. Away to 4th in the league. I know Preston were on a shoddy run, but that often means very little in this topsy-turvy league. Looks like Leeds are about to lose away at Stoke. Not an easy league.

    We had to shuffle the pack tonight and while Bree and Holgate were fine, Charles turned out to be a big weakness in midfield. Sometimes just having one player off the pace, can completely jeopardise things.

    He could also resurrect our promotion chances.

    It will all come out in the wash. I gave up with a minute to go and got a kebab. 2-2 and it tastes like unicorn spunk.

    I reckon Che may have picked up a nasty injury from that foul late on in the first half? Leeds lost good oh!

    Genuinely. I'm much more excited going into a match than I was for the last few seasons.

    Yeah, the football isn't great, but I am (weirdly) enjoying it more

    If nothing else, he could turn the traveling crowd's Bovril into something a bit stiffer, to take the edge off bad performances.

    Penalties, a goal that wasn’t his, a tap in. Only one goal of any real quality. And he offers **** all else.

    He’s better defensively than offensively, which sums us up as an attacking unit.
    Bin the lot off, spend some ****ing money on Jan and play to the team’s strengths.

    Perhaps a touch harsh on AA based on this season

    Well that was a mixed bag, but I feel we’re getting better
    First half we had lots of possession but weren’t in control, as RM wants us to be
    But we were one up at HT
    Second we seemed to be getting more control and then they scored. Our defensive line is too deep at times and no one was on the scorer. But 1-1 isn’t that bad
    Then Bedders plays a stupid ball to set up a counter and then doesn’t shut the guy down when Edozie is wrong side of him. Disappointing
    Stu and Kamaldeen improved us but Preston defend well and we manage another injury time goal
    We seem to be playing one short all the time when we play Che or Mara. I dont think they work with the way we play. Partly because Mara doesn’t seem to be very good
    MOTMs KWP & Baza

    We draw and we learn?

    Hell yeah.

    It's October and we have won 6 games, that's as many as we won all last season and it seems we can still play alot better

    Looking through my glass half full glasses, we're 5th in the league despite not being close to our best in most games so far. Yes there's a 10 point gap to Ipswich in 2nd but we can catch them. We were missing a fair few key players tonight either through suspension/injury or rest. We've scraped a point and we go into Saturday with players like Sulemana and Charly fresh.

    F*ck I wish we would play Sulemana as the number 9. Guy would create his own chances with ease.
