    my take on it, for what it's worth

    i thought we deserved all three points. there goal was a great strike but i cannot understand how they got the cross in.

    i also thought that everything we did well went through mowatt.

    I am not sure antonucci knows the offside rule!

    did morrison touch the ball when he came on?

    Think he touched it twice, once more than Murphy

    Antenucci's offsides are annoying but he plays on the edge and makes a lot of runs, on another day he's a hat trick hero. He was the pick of our forwards today, looked lively and showed a good first touch and control

    Hard fought game...........

    Bellusci and Berardi are liablilities in your defence especially from a discipline point of view, judged on their displays today

    Bellusci redeemed himself with the equaliser, which was well taken.... as he made it far too easy for the wendies to get a cross in for their goal.

    Overall Leeds were the better side, although their was little quality on show today

    I'm sorry but I won't stand for that. Whilst Bellusci might have a bit of a temper, you can't just call him a liability, especially on the back of that performance. He is strong, a leader, his touch, technique and passing are all top notch. He also is as good a finisher as any on the field today. His goal today was class, to watch the ball down and hit on the volley with his left foot. Not bad from a right footed centre back. And that's before you mentioned his sublime chip against huddersfield the otherweek that hit the crossbar

    Well congrats to forza, gallop, shaks, mike, and wolves for joining me in getting the prediction right with the draw.

    I only managed to catch the second half and had we taken our chances I think we could have got all 3 points from that one. Darko will be getting desperate for a win...

    My opinion....and judged by what I saw TODAY

    If as you say he has a bit of a temper, it is the team that will pay the price

    sorry that I have a different opinion to you

    You're wrong about Berardi as well

    Because Silvestri can't kick we keep playing it short and inviting pressure, then he ends up humping a pressured kick forward. Already it is fair to say Darko ain't a football genius. The crowd were shouting for Redders before Christmas we will get our wish.

    We played well today, and really should have won, difference was at Bournemouth we were hitting the net instead of their keeper ... their goal came from Pearce missing his header from the cross, anything on it and they wouldn't have had the chance to shoot ... Bellusci scored a genius goal, what a player ... we were very solid but still lack a playmaker, we need someone behind the strikers who can create and also get in the box ... our midfielders just don't get ahead of our forwards enough, but Mowatt and Austin don't play that kind of game ... big improvement, we were much better than Wednesday and it says everything their keeper got MoM

    As for wanting Milanic out, that is just mindless ... I will bet everything I have that Redders will NEVER be a successful manager because its a completely different game to being a no-pressure caretaker ... we got away with a lot when Redders was in charge, and really rode our luck ... Bournemouth should have been four up before they lost confidence, an awful Bolton were unlucky to lose to us, Brum are being beaten by everybody yet we battled for a draw, and Town were just shocking ... there was no champagne football under Redders, thanks he managed to get points on the board but let me tell you, today we played so much better, passing and movement improved, our strikers got in behind but wasted some quality chances ... Austin and Mowatt are limited players, can't play both together for me but watch Milanic, he is not a fool and will find his team, just be patient because we are improving

    It's been said; "it says everything their keeper got MoM"

    So he had to put in an outstanding performance to get that. Works for me.

    Though I though the timing of the change was odd after taking 10 from 12 points, I also agree about the curse of the caretaker, often goes t1ts up when appointed full time. New man needs a win though big style, not only to stop the fans getting restless but to get the players to buy in to what he wants. You wonder how the players feel if the were in under Redders but not with Darko. Let's face it we've gone from unbeaten in four to no win in three. Still at least Darko has a boss known for giving his managers time��

    Leeds had 4 shots on target all game -scored from one of them - how did he get man of the match, had **** all to do for most of it!!

    My take - a very poor game. Both teams huffed and puffed a lot, but no quality out there - Weds are awful away (as Man City proved) and can see why - they had the better chances but hesitated going forward - Donny Darko was probably well chuffed with the point <ok>
