    Great ball from Ballard for Isidor's goal. And another top quality goal by Isidor - that's about the 5th of his where I've thought it wouldn't have been out of place in the premier league.

    If we don't go up, I don't want you to either. Not because I would begrudge you it, but I'd want to be having two good games of football with you next season rather than enduring Burnley's dross.

    I have been saying this for months he has tremendous talent but in a team chasing promotion you need him to be contributing more goals and assists , it’s all well and good enjoying his ability but not producing anything from it is futile . Compare him to the badly missed Mundle or Watson and it tells a story .

    Wilsons goal is so good, elite level striker play. The run, the strength to shrug off the foul by Ampadu and the finish, all superb. The pass by Ballard is really good as well, his passing is very underrated.

    Sounds about right tbh.

    It’s a shame we had to play without our left wingers as that’s a big part of our game. They’ll be back for the run in which will make a big difference to us.


    Top two would be nice but I’d love to see these lads stepping out at Wembley and playing the kind of football we're capable of …

    … Burnley and Sheff Utd can grind out results but wouldn’t add much to the PL.

    Good luck and thanks for popping in <cheers>

    No thanks. That was a hard enough watch in real time.

    Yeah that's all fair I'd say. Full back positions have been a problem for a while, largely down to a lack of competition/rest and rotation.

    I saw the sense in bringing Samed on, but was flabbergasted when he played Rigg's role. I expected Jobe to move forward and let Samed sit. Poveda did okay when he came on. Should have been on much sooner though. Once again, we carried Roberts all night.

    Appreciated pal. We also boast the worst play off record in all four divisions, losing 6 play off's.

    If Dan James and Manor Solomon play well, Leeds have always won. You managed to isolate James, which confused Farke. The Leeds full backs are great going forward, but questionable defensively. When Bogle got booked for clattering Le Fee, and was duly booked, you should have kept attacking down that left flank...

    That was a sickener to lose, but you could feel it was coming. Leeds just too strong.

    My take - we’re by far the best Championship team, but unfortunately we happen to share the Championship with three Premier league sides.

    Hats off to Dan Neil who was outstanding.

    Think that's a great point.

    The commentator last night said something along the lines of our point total at this point in the season would be good enough to be in the top 2 in 8 of the last 10 Championship seasons. We're unfortunate that we've ran into the 3 sides above us.

    He really is a bargain of a signing
