    Weird one. Horrible way to lose...but I can't be overly critical. We did invite them on 2nd half, I personally don't understand taking Wilson off, but no lack of effort. Time to take the breaks off now. Playoffs is about finding a way to win, plenty of opportunity to practice between now and the end of the season... and if it goes really well...you never know. Autos are not impossible.

    The sitting back is massively frustrating and it’s cost us loads this season but tonight we just weren’t good enough on the ball in the second half. Leeds could just camp in our half with no threat in behind because every time we won the ball we just gave us straight back to them, a few times when it was unforced. Our game management by the players and the coach will be the reason we don’t get top two if we dont imo.

    Btw top two isn’t over just yet but that’s a damaging way to lose confidence wise. Must win on Saturday and hope Leeds win next week.

    To call Dan a Rolls Royce would be down playing the lad.

    4-5 months now of absolutely supreme performances and growth in his leadership.

    The lad is a super yacht.

    It's rope a dope. The top 2 will get complacent now and the pressure is off us. Them's my straws and noone is taking them off me :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Not to mention Cirkin thinking he was playing rugby, penalty all day long

    Anyway, all just an opinion, I’m not here to argue, I want you guys to get promoted, you’re good enough not to lose another game this season

    What was concerning was his graft, maybe its just the lad but he seems so lax.

    Know what you’re saying mate but the sides above simply won’t drop enough points.

    I am posting similar comments to many others. Maybe it's just what people think. Not sure why you are purely replying back to my posts when others are staying the very same ?

    Rigg does some great stuff off the ball but he's just too slow in possession at the minute. I think once Mundle is up to speed we will see Rigg on the bench more and Le fee in CM

    Loads of positives to take tonight even tho it's gutting to lose so late on

    Having just seen the goals back I wouldn't say Samed was at fault for either, think he's been getting some stick but he'd have had to be 8 foot tall to stop the first one and very little he could have done differently with the second.

    Massive for yous that. I think that’s an extra shot. ‘We are better than anyone’ and I can’t see you dropping many points.

    Please make sure you don’t against Wilder and his boring pointless bring **** all to the PL club.

    Or we tend to lose away from home when people are watching on TV and sitting by their phone.. we haven’t lost at home all season, when most of us are in the ground and can’t get signal :emoticon-0102-bigsm you’re making a mountain out of a molehill he’s allowed an opinion just like everyone else on the board and I don’t think it’s an invalid opinion? There’s a few posters who post outright bollocks slating the club and calling for heads every time we drop points, he hasn’t done that he’s just not sat on the fence about the result. 99% of posters here are decent and whether they agree or disagree they give reasons as to why.

    To be honest, when you're 1-0 for so long, I would have found it hard to just get the draw, despite how poor we were 2nd half.

    Hopefully we can play without a bit pressure now, Regis needs to let them play like we know they can.

    13 games is a lot and more than enough to gain ground. Knowing this team I think tonight’s result will galvanise us rather than deflate us. We put up a good fight against the best in the division. I still think we’re better than Burnley and Sheffield Utd. I reckon our players think that too. Every game is a lesson and not one of that squad will be giving up on anything yet

    Nah. Second half you played better. You had more possession in the first half but did **** all with it

    Time will tell mate, Leeds need to do us a favour nxt week and as I said we win next 2 we are only 2 behind Sheff Utd before they play again - plus their goal difference is similar to ours

    All we can do is focus on next game and just keep picking up points and see where we end up

    I think if you take in the balance of the whole 90+ they deserved the win. If we’d had that much ball and lost i’d have thought it unfair so it works both ways. We needed to keep the ball better second half and win the second ball. That was clearly why Samed was brought on but it didn’t really work because they had momentum. Yet another example that the parachute payments are an absolute joke mind.
