    Bamford injured. We needed a striker.

    Meslier nervous when the going gets tough and gets flappy.

    Kieffer Moore gets Ipswich up ahead of us.

    ****ing hell, next you'll be telling me that Firpo is **** in defence.

    You all come around in the end. Some of you might even admit that Jesse had more chance of keeping us up than Gracia and Allardyce.

    Because the nerves were in abundance vs Norwich and they’ve slowly been getting worse over the last several games

    Kieffer Moore in our team would not have got us up, we’ve flopped at the end due to nerves, tactics, selection, not playing as a team.

    Ipswich went up because they never bottled it, they were consistent and played as a team. Take Firpo and Leif - Leif is as bad at defending and as poor at positioning than Firpo, possibly worse than him but it’s ignored because of his assists.

    When we beat Ipswich if that was Leif playing for us we’d be screaming for him to never pull on a Leeds shirt again.

    Morning everyone it's game day and let's hope the lads put up a fight. Surely Naaarich are the weakest of the three teams we could have faced.

    I’ve got some plans with the family this weekend. If we lose at least I’ve got Friday to get over it. We should be more confident than Norwich, can’t say I am at the moment

    Well, I have a dilemma. The bar in village in Spain that shows all the football now closes on Thursdays. I could drive to the next town but that means I can’t get a drink or as I’ve got my iPad, hope Ell can find a decent feed. I have Wi-Fi for the other bars though none of them show English football.

    it's on DAZN in spain, if any of the other bars have that channel.
    Get a taxi to the next village so you can drink?
    I watch the games on fawanews on the ipad works great.

    I’m supremely confident about tonight.

    Norwich don’t realise it but the Gods will decide, for a Leeds win. Otherwise they can’t inflict on us all the pain, humiliation and sorrow of a play off final loss. They are not going to pass up on that, it’s written we will win tonight.

    They need to grow a pair. Man up and go out there and play like we know then can when they have condifence. Play like we can do and we'll walk it. If we dont I see another year in the Championship happening. Personally I've never seen a side that is soooo much reliant on condifence as opposed to skill / experience. I'd just want to go and bang all their heads together and kick them all up the arse. Meslier is a ticking time bomb. You could see how nervous he was just picking up the ball, never mind his distribution as well. He needs a slap as well lol

    I think the thing we tend to forget is that we have a very young team. Very young. If we accept that young players can easily go off the boil or burn out, especially near the end of the season, why are we surprised when a whole team of them does exactly the same thing? Saying that, it would not be a surprise if some of them bounce back. Hopefully.
