    Mostly as it's away games that I can not make, so I spent more time post match talking about the game. Home games, I am off to the boozer to celebrate.

    Sorry mate but your posts are listed against either the team or a player when we lose.

    I'm fuming at the minute and ready to take on anyone face to face. But your reputation is getting ahead of you

    So frustrated at that but not at our players in any way.

    We played that game probably as well as we could for 75 mins. Personally thought Leeds while having a lot of the ball offered zero creativity and I never really felt they were going to score.

    Ultimately they've put 2 very good balls into out box and scored twice. Can't really blame anyone for either goal for me anyway I'm sure some will find scapegoats.

    Felt we did lose our composure after the equaliser but again not any player in particular we just seemed to resort to hoofing rather than trying to play out which had been effective to that point.

    Just pissed off really we didn't deserve to lose that and I still can't believe we did. Oh and the celebrating like they had won the world cup at the end was cringworthy. Horrible ****s

    Agree with all that. I think we're only playing Le Fee there because we're lacking a LW due to injury but for me we rejig the team and play him in his correct position, should have been doing it a couple of games ago.

    Roberts put a shift in but was wasteful in attack as you say. Again I thought Poveda looked like he could be a good option, seems to be a positive player who doesn't give the ball away easily.

    If that was a penalty Rondon should have walked for flicking his forward against Wilson, and Aaranson booked on more than 1 occasion.

    Literally just commenting on the game. Called us elite first half and too passive with poor subs and **** goalkeeping the second. That's it. Christ.

    Cirkin wrestling Tanaka to the ground, penalty all day long, handball in the area arms out away from side, seen them given but would be harsh, Leeds fans felt the ref was awful and favoured you. It’s always the same for any supporter, you focus on what’s not given

    Don’t know if it was us sitting back or Leeds improving. Probably a bit of both.
    Bloke on Sky says we’ve lost 18 points from winning positions.
    I wonder how that compares with other teams stats.

    Sage with everything you've posted. However I think Reggie got the subs wrong. I said before the gave that I wouldn't need with the midfield as they know each others games, I would've took Rigg off but would've put Mundle on instead of Samed. Enzo want really in this game, everywhere this was a game to far got him or Leeds did a job in him and took him out of the game I'm not sure.

    An agenda? Against what you pleb? I’ve got nothing but praise for A) the owner, B) speakman and C) the team. I’m also not a ****house who can admit when I was wrong, like I have several times in the last 10-12 games with Dan Neil. Said O’nien has been quality this season after slating him all last season. Just because I think a player has been poor doesn’t mean I have an agenda. Players go through phases and unfortunately for me Rigg hasn’t been up to scratch for a few months now. If he was French we wouldn’t even be having this conversation because he’d get no free pass whatsoever. He done absolutely nothing first half and I called it out so I got slated. Second half started and he gave away the ball twice, the second ended up in them getting a corner. Nobody said a thing. First tackle he wins you’re all posting absolutely lapping it up. Loses the ball again then gives away another needless foul, no comment from any of you. I’d argue that’s an agenda.

    Anyway, go and check the match day threads from when we’ve won or drawn away, I’ll be on them just like I am when we lose. But when we’re at home I certainly won’t be on here because I’ll have no signal and be walking back to the town for a pint.

    Referee favoured us? How come we have half the team booked for next to nowt?

    The ghost of Don Revie must've trained that side!

    A few back and forwards about when or why folk post

    Who cares when or what folk post, if you don't like what people post then ignore them

    Hate reading pages of back and forth about how often folk post depending on the result

    Some folk will want to vent more after a defeat and like to discuss what they would have done differently

    This place has been class this season for debates about what folk thought we did well and where we went wrong - lets not disencourage that

    Cirkin wrestling Tanaka? It was your guy who instigated the contact. Also you want a pen for someone smashing the ball off someone's arm from a yard away? His hands were by his side. Jesus I know all fans are biased but that's just taking the piss.

    Aye, I agree mate he has done a job there but just feels like a wasted opportunity with him not playing his normal role. I’d like to have seen Mayenda given a shot out wide think he’s been unlucky not to be on the pitch as much lately.

    Don't want to come across as negative but Roberts isn't cutting it for me. The inconsistency from week to week drives me insane. You need your wide players chipping in with at least 7 goals a season nowadays and he won't get close to that at this rate. Yes he's very good in tight spaces and when he had Amad to bounce off he was excellent, but needing the best player in the championship alongside you to produce consistently good performances isn't exactly a sign of a good player.

    Sometimes you just lose games to better teams Don’t have to have a witch hunt and blame game Loads to improve on but lads gave everything Personally I think we are punching above our weight at the minute. But we are not far off a very good team

    Right I’m off

    Good luck guys, have a look through the Leeds match day thread, you’ll see we’re all rooting for you to get promoted (behind us).

    We’re fortunate with finances and some good signings that we’ve assembled a very good championship squad, don’t over analyse it, many a time this season we’ve deserved to win by a handful of goals

    We’re on fire at the moment and despite me feeling we deserved the win, it was damn close

    Some just won’t have a bad word said about the players or the club mate. Second half was poor from the team and RLB, nothing wrong with saying that. Best team won.

    I am starting to think some are so pro safc that no form of objective, critical comments can be made. Shame. Used to be a place for debate.
