    Another piss poor display in front of a big crowd.

    Team booed off. Bulut's days numbered?

    Yes, hard to believe after his initial start but could be in trouble soon! :emoticon-0103-cool: Masky

    Predictable stroll in the park for an impressive Leeds side against a poor City team.

    Could have been 5 in reality tbh the missed chances have been our downfall in a lot of games, you certainly need to up your game ...... still every cloud your neighbours didn't win neither ;)

    No.

    He took over an all but relegated squad under an embargo.

    We are mid table.

    Unbelievably theres a very good chance both sides will be in the same division next season.

    Money talks. They have multi millions from the PL.

    Certainly hampered by the absence of Ramsey and O'Dowda but some strange selections with early changes of personnel and tactics.

    Team confidence shot and way forward unclear.

    You’re not wrong but jeez City rolled the red carpet out for Leeds. Buluts team set up invited Leeds to have total possession but even though their players are in a different class they worked so hard to win the ball back.

    Do you mean both sides in the Championship?

    Let’s face it, the gulf in class between those two sides today was so wide. They just sliced through us with ease. And they could conserve their energy in the second half playing keep ball.

    Unless we get some decent recruits in this window we’re on a slippery slope. Admittedly Bulut is playing with the players he inherited plus a decent defender in Goutas. Siopsis form has gone downhill.

    I can’t really see us challenging for the play offs and I’m quite happy for us to start rebuilding this season and kicking on on the next one. It will be interesting to see who we manage to, hopefully buy, before the end of this month.

    Theyve got better players than us so can press.

    We just dont press at all.

    I get it v Leicester , Leeds but we should be pressing sides in a similar situation as us who cant play out from the back like a Pep side just because they think its the right way.

    Buluts over achieving but a Warnock side would have at least made Leeds know theyd been in a game today.

    Seriously need some reinforcements now as strength in depth is completely absent.

    On the plus front we are probably only around 5 - 6 points from safety.
    Bizarrely we are still only 3 points from the playoffs, but I think we've all come to the same conclusion that it's definitely a season too early for us to be thinking about maintaining any kind of playoff push, there's just too many stronger/more settled teams.

    I'm with Hilts on this, mid-table is about right given the overhaul we are still going through.

    No comment...can`t usually afford to go but my son got 3 tickets and my brother joined us.This is not the first time we set up to defend, then Bulut says we gave them too much respect! At the start of the season we played 2 midfield and 2 strikers. Bowler our best attacking player off. However at close range Allnick was brilliant.

    We decided to give your Welsh lads some practice ahead of the Euro playoffs.
    Seriously, taking off my Bluebirds bias for a moment, I enjoyed watching you play.

    Thanks. For first time in a long while we seem to be quite good. But still quite capable of missing out on an auto place of course, to be followed by losing a play off final to a breakaway goal having dominated for 90 minutes. It’s what we do.

    Bamford missing a penalty in a shoot out has to be a good bet.

    It’s the only time he’ll get to take one, after his record this season
