    A penalty that should never have been and a headed tap-in after James Chester switched off at 3-1 <whistle>

    In all seriousness, thanks for the input. It's good to hear opposition thoughts on individual performances, instead of asking Tickler and being told everyone deserved a score of 11/10 <laugh>

    Your second was bad play by our centre half, to be fair.

    I think the first goal was a cock up by your defence, whereas the second was just good play.

    Bet your lads will all be getting the hair drier treatment and not been let out of the dressing room for a good hour or so tonight.

    1st was well set up by micheal tonge great pass haha 2nd elmo was given far too much time to cross it in baring in mind the ball has just been cleared to him n Tom lees majorly mistimed it well placed header though. Your last goal was great counter though

    Decent comment and I hate to say it but diouf caused us the most problems early on and that Dominic fella looked decent when he came on. To be fair, our starting eleven today was pretty cheap:

    Amos - loan
    Elmohammedy - loan
    Faye - Free
    Chester - 300k
    Bruce - Free
    Dudgeon - 300k
    Koren - Free
    Evans - 300k
    Quinn - 300-400k
    Simpson - not sure, somewhere between 100k and 1.1m from what ie heard
    Aluko - Free

    So not too bad for the money we've spent. Good luck for the rest of the season!

    Agreed, i forgot about that kid who came on for Beccio. Thought he livened it up for Leeds, in the second half and put us on the back foot a little.

    Do Norwich have scouts or do they just check who's playing well at Leeds and sign them up? <laugh>

    yeah the sooner rid the better, at the minute with him we are in autopilot not doing anything selling our best players (Snodgrass) and replacing them with dog **** like Luke Varney isn't going to get us anywhere near top half of the table.

    But we have lost 5000 fans who have boycotted cos of bates since 2010 and we are losing so many away supporters £34 on a tuesday night is a joke and not fair on opposition fans

    Think Elmo hasn't put a foot wrong since he came and will only go from strength to strength and the reason for this is the formation Brucie has us playing. Elmo & Dudge work tirelessly (sp), and the interchanges that go on between Simpson, Aluko, Koren and Quinn have been fantastic. All that with a solid back 3 and Oli (or Evans) providing further solidity in midfield means we've got great cover. I don't want to get carried away with myself but I reckon we can only get better! Bring on Leicester!

    So do I. Elmo is a cut above anything in the Championship and would give at least half the PL teams a run for there money.

    The player concerned is one SEB LARSSON,, whom Steve Bruce signed up from Birmingham City last summer after the Blues relegation.

    Good comments from a Leeds fan for a change. As to how you got 2 goals thank the Linesman and slack defending. Glad we all left after the game happy chappies. <ok>

    So when did i do that then ? 11 out of 10 ffs. :p If that was so true it would have been 15/10. <whistle>

    Maybe the ex. Leeds players (Snodgrass, Howson, Johnson) have tipped off Hughton.

    Seen Elmo play each game in a tigers shirt so far and he just keeps getting better for me. Offers absolutely everything. You can see how much he loves the crowd and responds everytime we sing his song. After he played that ball through for Korens goal lastnight he just came running straight to us the fans to celebrate...Brilliant! Thats what we have been missing for a while at the KC....players who get the fans going. Faye is another! Superb <ok>

    The most cash we spent was on Proschwitz who isn't even playing. Quinn only cost 300k, Aluko was free, Elmo is on loan and Faye was free. Obviously there's the wages, but i think Steve Bruce has done a brilliant job with his signings.

    Absolute bargain when you see that written down. Just goes to show that you don't need to spend millions of pounds to put together a quality team.
